  • Ep 26. Television Terror

    On this episode, Ryan and Bruce take a look at an entertaining parody of sleaze talk-shows, "Television Terror", which is headlined by one of the worst people in modern American history. Bruce goes on an extended rant about him, and keeps confusing him with someone else. It is based on a story by the same name from Haunt of Fear #17, but the two stories could not be more tonally different.

  • Ep 23. Korman's Kalamity

    On this episode, Bruce regales Ryan with stories of long-forgotten syndicated TV shows and recounts the plot of the original Planet of the Apes series. Oh yeah, and they talk a bit about a meta-before-meta-was-a-thing episode of Tales from the Crypt, s2e13's "Korman's Kalamity".

  • Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness

    WARNING: Spoilers!

    The guys couldn't resist taking a detour between episodes to discuss what may be the biggest horror movie ever based on a comic, Marvel's Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness. And somehow, when talking about horror comic movies, they forget to mention Hellboy.
