SlashU

We're still so proud of ourselves here at SlashU for completing 150 numbered episodes that we decided to just continue riding the Friday the 13th train by covering the 2009 "remake." Although the argument could be made that this is actually Friday the 13th Part 11, since it's a bit of a 'spiritual sequel' to the 1980 movie. A group of campers out to find a hidden crop of weed in the woods end up camping near the old abandoned Camp Crystal Lake. They unfortunately find out that Jason Voorhees is very much a real threat and that they should have just went to a dispensary.

We've made it to 150 episodes! Thank you so much to everyone who has been along for the ride that is SlashU for these last 4 years. We've come a long way from a dinky little poorly recorded podcast all the way to a much better sounding dinky little podcast. And this week we decided to tackle one of the best all-time OG Slashers that spawned so many things throughout this wonderful genre that we love. We're talking about 1980's "Friday the 13th." It's only fitting to cover a classic in celebration of our 150th 'canon' episode. When a group of camp counselors set out to fix up old, closed-down Camp Crystal Lake, they discover someone doesn't want the camp to reopen. Someone who will go to any extreme to keep the camp from opening, even murder.

This week we were at our first Horror Convention. It was Horror Fiesta in Peoria, Illinois. It was also the first horror convention for the town! So we were happy to be in on the ground floor as Peoria builds up and honors their horror/slasher community. We recorded a few segments right from the convention floor, just talking and reacting to the things we saw and even had some of the people speak up on the mic. This was a great time and we hope we picked up a few new followers/listeners. We are definitely going back if they do this again and we would definitely try to hit up other conventions (assuming they are affordable and easy to drive to). But check it out, let us know what you think, and get ready for episode 150 coming soon!

On this week's episode, we're bringing you another special interview. We sat down with Calvin Marie McCarthy, the writer/director of "Pillow Party Massacre." He talked to us about making that movie as well as tons of other projects. We discussed his time working on low-budget horror, working with a familiar cast and crew of people, and how he thinks this genre has evolved over time. Calvin's been involved in this industry in one way or another since a very young age and we thank him very much for taking the time to sit and talk with us here at SlashU.

This week we sat down with someone we consider to be low-budget horror royalty. It's Jeremy Sumrall. We know him best here at SlashU for playing The Beast in 2009's "Sweatshop" but he's done tons of other great things! So we got Jeremy on the line and decided to talk all about it for about an hour. He told great stories of how he started out, how he wound up in both "Sweatshop" and "Axe Murdering with Hackley." He talked about how sometimes the best thing you can do in making films is just 'show up' and be helpful and be grateful for every opportunity. Check it out and let us know what you think, and go show Jeremy some love.

We went pretty basic this week and also handled our first Creature Feature. Still a Slasher movie at heart, we talked about "Don't F*** in the Woods." It's a very simple movie premise. A group of campers are in the forest for a weekend of partying. Anyone who engages in intercourse becomes victim to a creature attracted by sex. And that's it. There's a sequel though, so stay tuned for that!

This week we found another goofy, campy slasher to dive into. It's "Slashorette Party" from 2020. The story centers around Brie, a young bride-to-be who might be having a case of cold feet. Her friends throw her a surprise Bachelorette Party in a cabin out in the woods. But they get surprised by uninvited guests who begin picking off the partygoers. It's a slow burn at first but then it cuts loose. Let us know what you think!

We debut Season 9 this week! I know, it just snuck up on all of us. But we felt like we had been hanging out in Season 8 for a long time. And it was time to start fresh as we round out the summer. This week we brought you one from 2023, but it's set in the 80s. "Murdercise" takes place when it was a simpler time, when a workout video full of attractive women doing squats would have made a million dollars. We follow Phoebe on her quest to bring fitness to the nation by killing anyone who gets in her way. It's a whacky ride that doesn't take itself too seriously. So it's perfect for SlashU.

We're back to wrap up Shark Week here on SlashU. Another year, another couple of bad Shark movies in the books. This week we took on 2016's "Planet of the Sharks." It's another one where climate change has melted all the ice and 98% of the planet is covered in water. Sharks are the dominant species on the face of the earth and they've formed a massive super school. All the sharks are being controlled by a mutated Alpha Shark. A team of humans must band together to fight off the sharks while trying to launch a rocket into the atmosphere to clean off excess CO2 and help bring back some land to live on. It's a wild ride that makes no sense.

It's time again for Shark Week here on SlashU, where we each take a pick at a cheesy, campy, sometimes terrible movie where a Shark is the killer. This week is professor Nick's pick, Ice Sharks from 2016. A group of scientists are studying climate change at a remote research station in the Arctic. They soon discover that warming waters have allowed a new breed of sharks to invade the area, picking off any living thing that comes too close to the edge of the ice. They have to escape their research station before they are trapped and become lunch.
