Spitball Media

Happy Halloween Season! Jon, Shah, and B Show continue their horror deep-dive with Part 2 of their Halloween countdown, covering 1986 to 1990. This era gets wild fast — from arthouse serial killer cinema to killer robots, demon babies, Satanic metal, and more Troma trash than any human should legally consume in one sitting.

Expect genuine debates, laugh-out-loud tangents, and a shared love for practical effects, obscure VHS covers, and movies that absolutely should not work as well as they do.

Stick around — next week they tackle 1991-1995, and based on this episode, it's gonna get even weirder.

This week on Spitball Media, we're kicking off a month-long Halloween deep dive, taking a decade-by-decade trip through horror history leading up to 2000. First stop: 1980-1985, a stretch the guys argue might be the single greatest run in the genre's history — and they make a pretty convincing case for it.

Jon, B Show Brian, and Shah (battling the flu but soldiering through) go year by year pulling from their own shelves of physical media, hitting genre-defining giants alongside deep-cut picks. Expect plenty of 4K/Blu-ray cover talk, debates about which remakes actually hold up, some Stephen King adaptation rabbit holes, and a lot of nostalgic detours about what it was like growing up renting these movies when horror was still considered taboo.

Also in this episode: Patreon news, a new Physical Media Advocate magazine cover reveal, and Little Debbie pumpkin delights discourse. Stick around — 1985 to 1990 is coming next week.

Halloween season is here, and the Spitball Media crew is celebrating the only way they know how — by ranking horror sequels. Following up last week's remake episode, Jon, Shaheen, and B-Show Brian dig into the follow-ups that actually lived up to (or surpassed) the originals.
The guys debate what actually makes a great horror sequel — familiar faces vs. fresh direction, bigger budgets vs. slower burns, and why the second entry in a franchise so often outshines the first. Expect deep-cut picks getting their due.

Along the way there's talk of AI restorations ruining classic 4K releases, Rocky vs. Rambo-style franchise escalation, childhood VHS rental memories, and a tease of a possible bracket-style format for October. Grab your Halloween candy and settle in for a horror sequel deep dive.

This week the crew dives into the (dreaded) R-word: remakes. Fresh off last episode's hot takes on horror, Jon, Shahin, and B-Show tackle what actually makes a remake worth watching — is it faithfulness to the source, better effects, or just "don't make it worse"? 

From there it's a deep dive through decades of horror remakes, cult favorites, and forgotten gems, and some genuinely obscure picks. Naturally, things get sidetracked (a hilarious Google robot-check meltdown included), chat weighs in with their own picks, and the hosts don't hold back on the ones that missed the mark — looking at you, Nightmare on Elm Street and 2018's Black Christmas.

They close things out with wishlist remakes they'd actually be excited for and debate whether Hollywood should really keep raiding the cult classics or leave well enough alone.
Grab some popcorn, argue with us in the comments, and let us know your favorite (or most hated) horror remake.

This week on Spitball Media, Jonn and B-Show (Shahin's out getting dental work done) and decide to go full hot-take mode on horror. No prep, no filter — just years of movie-watching opinions that might get them yelled at in the comments.
They dig into whether 2025 has been a genuinely great year for horror, and get into it with a Gen Z take on Texas Chainsaw Massacre vs. its 2003 remake before spiraling into some genuinely spicy stuff: Lee Cronin's The Mummy landing on a top-five list, Smile 2 beating the original, Dawn of the Dead's remake outclassing Romero's version, Exorcist II getting more love than part III, and a full-on confession about not vibing with giallo classics like Suspiria and Argento's catalog. Terminator's modern sequels, Freddy vs. Jason, Hellraiser (2022), and Nightmare on Elm Street 3 all get put on trial too.
Things get more serious when the guys talk about "elevated horror," subtlety vs. spoon-feeding in modern films, and where they think the genre's political messaging is heading with big upcoming properties like Crystal Lake and Carrie. Plus: viewer-submitted hot takes flood the chat, practical effects vs. CGI gets debated, and there's a surprising amount of talk about poutine, Canada, and Bane breaking Batman's back.
Grab some popcorn (or poutine) and see how many of these takes make you scream at your screen.

Is Obsession Overrated? | Deep Dive Is Obsession actually a great horror film—or have we collectively given it too much credit? Tonight on Spitball Media, we're taking a deep dive into Obsession and breaking down what works, what doesn't, and whether the film ultimately lives up to its reputation. We'll look at the movie's themes, characters, atmosphere, performances, filmmaking choices, and overall execution—and, most importantly, ask what they could have done differently. We'll discuss:

• What Obsession gets right
• Where it falls short
• Whether the central obsession works
• Characters & performances
• Horror and psychological elements
• Missed opportunities
• Whether it's underrated or overrated
• What we'd change
