The Gory Gays

Put on your holiday best, kids, because today we're slashing up and bleeding out another Eli Roth flick for you and it's just in time for, well, THANSKGIVING! We're talking everything from Black Friday experiences of yesterday, That Hot Mom Turkey (if you know you know), the “Scream”-y dynamic between our youth group, and just how this little movie was birthed and came to be. We're so happy to be back!

Press play with us @ the 15:00 mark!

NIGHT OF THE DEMONS (1988) has become a Halloween favorite over the last 36 years (happy bday, baby!)  and we’re here to slash it up and bleed it out for you — from the terrible dialogue, the more-than-effective effects, and Linnea Quigley’s infamous lipstick scene, we cover the bases and so much more! Listen today!

Hello gory boys and ghouls! It's been a year since our first and only episode dedicated to trivia, so we thought, why not do another one! Of course, we yack about some of the new things we're watching (mostly good, but nothing really rewatchable) -- but essentially this episode is aimed at Stanley torturing Alex with random questions regarding Halloween itself... like, what's the record for the fastest jack-o-lantern carving? Don't worry, we didn't know either! Listen to our cute little bonus episode NOW and we'll see you soon with another ghoulish horror film soon!

Gory babies... it's our 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY EPISODE!

So naturally, we're slashing up and bleeding out perhaps our scariest film to date... and it's a Disney film...? Oh yes... it's finally time for RETURN TO OZ (1985), aka one of Stanley's personal favorites. Join us as we tip-toe down the Yellow Brick Road with young Dorothy (played here by Fairuza Balk in a lil powerhouse performance that set the tone for her career) and her smart-ass chicken, Billina (our actual spirit animal) -- and talk everything Oz, from our own obsessions with the original classic, how we feel about our first year on the podcast map, and of course, so much more!

Spooky Season is here, guys. Thanks for sticking it out with us this last year, and we'll be back next week with our gory thoughts on NIGHT OF THE DEMONS (1988).

"If Nancy doesn't wake up screaming... she won't wake up at all."

This movie needs no introduction. Join us as we (finally) delve into the madness and beauty of the original "Elm Street" film, directed and written by horror maestro Wes Craven. We slash up and bleed out not only this perfect piece of celluloid, and we also get heavy with our own nightmares and dreamscapes, touch on why this movie works all these years later, and dig into the importance of Fred Krueger as a horror symbol for the ages.

And it's us, so of course, there's a lot more laughs and fun! Press play @ the 12:24 mark and listen / watch along with us, now!

We've unlocked another one of our commentaries from the Patreon! 

Join us as we slash up and bleed out Tod Browning's 1932 classic and notoriously unseen film, "Freaks"! What a fucking gem of a movie you guys and we are genuinely excited to shed some well-deserved light on it (as freaks ourselves, ya know), so please, do yourself a favor and press play on the movie with us at the 15:33 mark!

Remember our convo is unfiltered, unedited, and pure. We adore this movie very, very much.

And even if you decide not to watch along with us as your co-hosts, find the time to do so on your own! It's a magical movie from a time long ago that needs to be seen. They just do not make them like this anymore, and we just fuckin' wish they did.

Have a gory day, gory bb's!

You read that right! We're celebrating Halloween early, gory bb's! We unlocked our first Patreon audio commentary from back in July and have given it to you for FREE! Just a little taste for what you can get when you subscribe! We had so much fun slashing up and bleeding out everyone's favorite family classic about a trio of sister-witches on the hunt for children souls on Halloween Night.

But don't worry -- we spent a few good minutes chatting about LONGLEGS first... something we saved specifically for this conversation. We didn't spoil it, though, so you're safe. We DO insist you see it, as well as any Osgood Perkins movie you're able to get your dirty hands on! Watch it NOW!!! (But listen to this first... and stay tuned for our upcoming episode on said film!)

As far as HOCUS POCUS goes -- PRESS PLAY WITH US @ THE 24:10 MARK!!! Join us as we talk everything from the Salem Witch Trials, Bette Midler and her status as a gay icon, the casting choices and why we love them, the terrific score by John Debney, how much Stanley adores David Kirschner, and so much more. Listen today, and don't forget to tell your friends.

Stay tuned for more Patreon fun with our commentary on A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (1984) coming soon!

Happy 40th Episode from us to you!

We close out our random but exciting “Blockbuster Summer” theme with not only a Spielberg film, but a Tom Cruise vehicle to boot — 2005’s WAR OF THE WORLDS, a movie where tripod aliens erupt from the earth after being sent down from lightning bolts and then decimate people with their laser blasts so they can steal their clothes and live off their blood. Can we get any gayer than this?! 

And don’t you worry, gory babies! We also give a few moments of praise to Hunter Schafer’s nutter-butter summer slasher flick CUCKOO (it’s good), as well as spend some time talking about a certain  lil gory baby’s time on a certain lil movie set a certain lil time ago… (Hint: It was Stanley and the movie was this one.)

Episode 40 is available now on all podcast platforms. Thanks for listening you guys. We wouldn’t be having this much fun without those of you tuning in with us every week!

"Don't screw with people you don't know."

We’re taking you back to the days of CB radios and when Paul Walker was our leading man (and Leelee Sobieski was the leading lady, even…) My, oh my, was 2001 a different time, and did we love it or what? That’s right gory goats, we’re covering John Dahl’s road-trip black horror-thriller, JOY RIDE, and we’re here to remind you that it still slaps and it slaps hard! It’s got comedy, thrills, double the “schmazz” (that’s what Alex calls man-butt), tense cornfield chase scenes, suspense, dirty motels, and prank phone calls that would make Ghostface smile. Tune in now as we talk all of the above, as well as our own experiences with troubled sibs, what it was like to be alive during the “prehistoric internet” era, and even… jail? *gasp* Episode 39 delivers! We’re back next week with WAR OF THE WORLDS (2005) — our first alien invasion / Tom Cruise combo! Thanks for listening, and don’t forget, any feedback is good feedback so feel free to drop us a review over on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to us!
