SlasherCast

It's Fingers Against Absenteeism as special guest @Paimonaeon joins in as SlasherCast unleashes the grapes of wrath against Girls Against Boys. The guys are less Ted and a hospitalized Mike (no worries, he lives to make terrible and inappropriate jokes next week) but you still get some news, trailer talk and, a special Top 30 list to round out the episode. And watch for a special bonus episode soon featuring an in depth interview with Kenneth J Hall (Puppetmaster) to discuss the release of Linnea Quigley's Horror Workout. Coming soon!

On our 10th episode Dave (@thehumanimdb), New Jersey Nick (@newjerseynick) and Mike (@theflickist) tackle the documentary, My Amityville Horror.  The film discusses the real Amityville experience through the eyes of an adult Michael Lutz.  We go deep into the Amityville mythology and the paranormal in our best Side Effect discussion to date.  Give this one a listen or "For God's Sake, Get Out!"

We all go a little mad sometimes (Nick more frequently than most), but this is a rare case where the five middle fingers have little to get angry about as we delve into Bates Motel and its progenitor Psycho. No, not the useless Van Sanitized shot for shot remake that features a brown-eyed cameo, but the original Alfred Hitchcock classic. Will Norman Bates taste the rarified air of SlasherCast Platinum or will there be some weird hipster douchery to ruin the fun? We'll never tell, but this episode will. You also get a round of Mike's trailer heavy news before we dive right into the A&E pseudo prequel TV show. SlasherCast proves once again a boy's best friend is a horror podcast.

On our 9th episode, we discuss Telltale Game's The Walking Dead Episode 1.  Joining Dave (@TheHumanIMDB) and New Jersey Nick (@NewJerseyNick) is guests D.A. Chaney (@DA_Chaney), Chris (@Paimonaeon), and Mike Maryman (@NoCalMike).  This episode contains spoilers of the first episode of The Walking Dead video game.

Come again? Yes, that's right... It's a double come episode as your friendly neighborhood five middle fingers go through a double review of Come Out and Play and I Didn't Come Here to Die. Join us as we go through all 5 stages of grieving (Anger, Anger, Anger, Anger and Anger) in this surprisingly angry episode. Mike's News starts things off, and then the boys go head to head on the merits of remaking a movie most people didn't know existed and the relative worth of vanity cards. Then, things take a turn for the angry as we have very disparate emotions over a low budget pseudo-slasher and what components low budget movies should have. It's not one to be missed. Next week, the guys take young Norman Bates through his paces as we review Bates Motel and the classic Hitchcock masterpiece, Psycho.

You don't want to play a game of death with these guys. This week, the Slashercast reviews two of the latest torture porn
movies that both happen to feature people being forced to play dangerous games with tough decisions and deadly consequences. First, there's the unpredictable new movie Would You Rather? which stars Brittany Snow and Jeffery Combs. The Five Middle Fingers hated the trailer when they saw it last month, but what did they think of the bloody final product? Also, the boys took one for the team watched the strange Japanese horror film X Game. Jack also shares his thoughts on what's been called the worst movie of 2012, Smiley. The guys also spend a good deal of time talking about how Army of Darkness 2 could happen, should happen, but ultimately won't happen.

Episode 8 takes us to the land of Oz as we review Sam Raimi's Oz: The Great and Powerful.  Joining Dave (@TheHumanIMDB) on this episode is New Jersey Nick (@NewJerseyNick) and returning guest DA Chaney (@DA_Chaney).  Does the movie make us want to file union agreements with the Lollipop Guild or have us rocking in the corner repeating "There's no place like home"? 

Episode 7 is clearly not our lucky number as Dave, New Jersey Nick and special guest Katie Rots review Tyler Perry as a Detroit Police detective in Alex Cross.  We keep it short and to the point about what does work (very little) and what does not work in this movie.  The first negative review in Side Effect's short history.

SlasherCast gets a little of that old time religion as the five middle fingers review a two shot of possessed young girls. First, we get a little Mike's News with a plethora of tangents before settling down to business. Join us as we review The Last Exorcism 2 and The Exorcism of Emily Rose, where we cast out the demons of lazy storytelling and bad CGI and explore the good and bad of contorted teenage girls. The power of Christ compels you to listen to this episode!

It's our Diamond White episode! SlasherCast celebrates their 75th week together with a bit of Mike's news and 4/5 of a review of Dark Skies (someone couldn't be bothered to see it). In the third edition of Dear SlasherCast, the guys learn a bit about themselves and each other as they answer some hard-hitting questions from the fans. And will Ted's wily charm win the approval of the father of a young female listener? Well...maybe there's still time. Hope you all have a listen and a laugh!
