This episode’s monster of the week segment may feature the most monstrous horror movie creatures we’ve covered so far… children! We discuss a handful of horror movies with a focus on the creepy kid trope including Swedish vampire classic, Let the Right One In, and a comedic take on The Omen with Little Evil.

Plus, thoughts on a bunch of recent viewing including The Babysitter: Killer Queen and Amazon’s The Boys. And, of course, it wouldn’t be Grawlix Nights without the #SnyderWatch. Enjoy!

Did the circus come to town because this episode is full of clowns. Coincidentally, the horror movie monster of the week is CLOWNS. Yeah, they ARE monsters. The G-Crew each searched out some sort of creepy clown film or TV show. Don’t expect any Pennywise here, either. They went out of their way to find some less discussed and even downright obscure clown creeps to talk about.

The week’s TV and movie news stories include another The Batman production shut down, Mike Flanagan’s dream to adapt the apparently unadaptable, and Cobra Kai sweeping legs and taking names over on Netflix. Plus, #SnyderWatch and much more on this 2+ hour long live episode. Enjoy!

This week we attempt to build a Frankenstein’s Monster out of Frankenstein’s Monsters. We each watched a Frankenstein related movie or TV show and, joined by Matt D. of 60s Reboot Podcast and Comics With My Kids, collectively try to figure out which Frankenstein is the sexiest.

Unlike last episode’s vampire theme, we each managed to find vastly different takes on ol’ green and stumbly. From a time travel tale involving John Hurt that ISN’T Doctor Who, actual Doctor Who, and 3d printed emo-Franks, we cover a VERY interesting grouping of stories.

We didn’t forget about the news and with DC FanDome happening the previous weekend we have a ton of movie trailers to react at. Jasper of Grawlix Cinematic Universe also joins us to discuss the new Justice League, The Batman, and The Suicide Squad trailers. Plus, John Carpenter pimps the next Halloween movie, a Babysitter-lite Babysitter sequel, and more! Enjoy!

Welcome, children of the night! Grawlix Nights, that is! On this episode we kick off our new, weekly monster examination. Each episode leading up to Halloween we’ll be discussing a different creepy creature, movie monster, or horror trope. This week, as the groan-worthy intro to this paragraph would infer, we are discussing vampires.

The blood-suckers in question happen to come to us by way of the Netflix animated Castlevania series, the Netflix and BBC Dracula series, and the classic 90’s sexy vamp flick, Interview With The Vampire. We’re still ironing out the kinks in this monster format but any excuse to raise the undead is good enough for us!

Of course, we didn’t forget about the news. We also discuss the potential return to the cowl for both Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck, Randy and Jesse get geeky about royalty, and SynderWatch continues despite what seemed like a slow Justice League news week. Of course, all the big news dropped after this live stream. Oh well, prepare for an extra large SnyderWatch later this week! Enjoy!

Sip, listeners!? Hope you are ready for fun because this episode is a blast. As usual we talk about what we’ve been watching including our thoughts on Doom Patrol AND Umbrella Academy seasons 2.

We also cover the TV & movie news that caught our attention over the past week. Randy gets excited for the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2 demo, we continue to follow the struggle of AMC Theatres, and there appears to be many horror movies set to hit the streaming services in the near-ish future. Don’t forget the weekly #SnyderWatch news and more.

What makes this episode particularly fun, though? We all kept it conversational and hit on a BUNCH of things we hadn’t planned on. And it was great. Remember Alien Nation? We do. How is that relevant? No clue but we decided to talk about the 90s sci-fi franchise that spanned a feature film, TV series, and FIVE TV movies.

Also, YouTube podcasters, Hollywood’s villain “problem”, the new Saved by the Bell series trailer, beaver butt gland juice, and more. Enjoy!

The grinding of the Hollywood gears are beginning to churn, again, so we actually have lots of movie news to talk about this week! Of course, it IS Hollywood after all so that means reboots, reboots, reboots! Sequels, too.

Before that we open the show with our thoughts on The Umbrella Academy Season 2. We also find out how big of a hit AMC Theatres took due to the shutdown. Unsurprisingly, it was massive. Meanwhile, we’re still waiting from some Drive-Ins to open up.

Plus, why HBO Max keeps losing movies, SnyderWatch returns, we dunk on M. Night Shyamalan for some reason, and we realize that Zack Snyder and M. Night Shyamalan have a lot in common. Enjoy!

The Grawlix Podcast crew is back and ready to talk about some entertainment news! They discuss the state of movie theaters on the eve of US theaters opening back up and as AMC & Universal kiss and make up. Plus, they unveil their new, on-going “SnyderWatch” segment. Yay!

Also, fans get to kill Jason Todd, again, but this time in animated form, how to get a movie studio to give you $200 million, and more! And hey, if this is the darkest timeline are we the evil versions of ourselves? Enjoy!

You know what the problem is with the Grawlix Podcast? All the stinky boys with their stinky boy opinions. Well, this week there will be none of that because the boys get the boot. Melanie takes control of the show joined by guest Savannah. This is the same Savannah you hear us talk to in the chat during previous episodes. Also, she is basically Melanie’s sister.

Savannah offers a solid list of what she’s been watching and her recommended viewing. The two also discuss recent movie news including Mulan being delayed again, Bill & Ted Face the Music updates, and more.

Oh, and Savannah's DNA ancestry test results, some hard truths about how closely Melanie pays attention to her stories, impromptu tattoos, ghost cats... Enjoy!

Last week Melanie was off doing Melanie things so it’s just the boys on this live episode. Can they stay focused without Melanie to wrangle the show? Well, a few topics discussed include Ready or Not, Doctor Sleep, Big Finish multiple Master stories, and Angel season 5 so you decide.

For this week’s REACT AT THE NEWS the boys are conflicted on a new Usagi Yojimbo series from Netflix, intrigued by a new horror anthology filmed in quarantine, and confused by NBC’s new streaming service ‘Peacock’. Of course, there is so much more! Enjoy!
