The Cinebytes

Alright, I'm gonna Level with you. This movie deserves so much more attention than it got! For all the Midsommar, Get Out, and The Menu vibes, press play now!

Join Jason and Dusty this week as they Dive into the soon-to-be-cult-classic, Opus (2025) from writer/director Mark Anthony Green! This one gives off all the wrong energy in all the right ways, including an intimate appetizer, interpersonal hygiene lessons, and a clam shucking session for the ages! Sound weird? GOOD! IT SHOULD! Because, at the end of the day, that's what this movie leaves you with, in spades.

Honestly, we're really proud of this episode. We got a little more Wiggle in our walk, and just like whoever invented the horseshoe thousands of years ago...we may have momentarily achieved godhood...Moretti style  B-D

Do you remember what YOU did last summer? Personally, I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday, but some grudges run reeeeeeal deep.

Join us this week as we talk about our favorite fishy slasher from the Summer of '97 - I Know What You Did Last Summer (what a mouthful, right?), just in time to recap before the legacy sequel to the first two films comes out July 18th!

We'll do our best to answer the questions we know are burning inside you, such as: Who is behind this madness, and who was really on the road that night? What's Why is Johnny Galecki trying to match Ryan Philippe's alpha? What's Barry's fuckin' problem? Did anyone ACTUALLY cut Helen's hair? Why does the new movie have an identical title to the original?

Let's see if we can get to all this and more in our full length episode on this hot, hot Kevin Williamson mess! Press play and we promise you'll be hooked!

Pack your bags, we're headed to camp!

Now that the summer season is in full swing, we decided to take a trip upstate to Camp Arawak with Angela and Ricky! I know the bus doesn't have seat belts, but you're gonna want to buckle up, because this movie is weird and gross and AWESOME!

They've got all the classic summer camp activities, a swimmin' hole, and the best damn archery range money can buy! There's drama, humor, romance (ew), child predators (ew-er) and children preying (ew-est?). Not to mention a twist ending for the ages!

Grab your hiking boots and join Jason and Dusty as they explore the trails and fields of Sleepaway Camp (1983)!

Welp, the podcast is officially over...no way we can ever do anything cooler than this...

That's right, folks. The Cinebytes finally caught up with the man behind the pins and the inspiration for our entire aesthetic. The legendary Doug Bradley was gracious enough to give us FIFTEEN MINUTES of his time in the middle of a crowded convention floor at Astronomicon 2025.

Hear his thoughts on Elliot Spencer's motivation for solving the Lament Configuration as well as his opinions on the direction of the Hellraiser franchise since his departure, tournament brackets, and hell, why not, even Freddy Krueger!

Hit the button and enjoy! We have such sounds to play for you!

Hey, y'all! Just in time for Pride month, we wanted to circle back around to an interview we did a while back to tie into our Crackcoon episode with actor Justin Martin who plays Frankie in the film. Such a great guy and really fun to have on the show! We uploaded the video to YouTube just after we did it, but wanted to make it available on streaming as well, and it just so happens we have some pretty interesting and topical conversation surrounding the reason for the season now that it's June. Enjoy!
