Man, 2025’s “Beast of War” is an odd one. Is it a Australian WWII movie? Sure. Is it a killer shark movie? Definitely. But is it more a shrieking banshee shark picking off soldiers in a liminal hellscape that also features samurai swords? That’s certainly the closest.

The gentlemen are back to sweep you off your feet with a tale of mystery, sensuality, and of course romance, with Stanley Kubrick’s penultimate 1999 film “Eyes Wide Shut”. Give in to aural pleasure and listen, but don’t forget your mask, or the password to the house. And of course pay no attention to those two men in the toy store…

NOT DEAD YET. And in the meantime while we work on our various thingies, please enjoy a discussion of the following; The Night of the Eagle (1962), All you Need is Death (2023), Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (1988), Heart Eyes (2025), Primate (2025), The Genocides (1965), and 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026). BACK SOON.

The year ends. The boys ramble under the influence of eggnog. They briefly touch on 2023’s “Brooklyn 45”, which is roughly 45.45% as funny as “Brooklyn 99”. Gonna be honest with you, if you’re looking for hard facts, not a lot of that here. If you’re looking for para-social relationships though, well, that’s most of this episode. HAPPY NEW YEAR.

30 days of night? More like 30 days of BITE, AMIRITE??? This high concept 2007 vampire film was based on the equally high concept 2003 comic series, which was in turn was based on an earlier unproduced high concept movie script. That’s Hollywood baby! Also, to clear things up, JR was thinking of WHITNEY Huston and Derek was thinking of ANGELA Basset. Thank you for coming to our TED Talk.

Thanksgiving is past. Christmas is future. Alien: Earth, Day of the Beast, Predator: Badlands, Dog Soldiers, Arcadian, Flux Gourmet, Keeper, “Where are you going, where have you been”, The Running Man. Roundups are always.

When we say not every horror movie deserves to be talked about for a whole episode, we really mean MOST horror movies don’t deserve a full episode. Some, like V/H/S/Halloween, HIM, Longlegs, Frankenstein, Night of the Reaper, The Long Walk, IT: Welcome to Derry, and Habit, deserve about 7.6 minutes a piece. And that’s a roundup episode for you.

If you’ve come here for thoughts on the 2022 Andy Mitton film ‘The Harbinger’, you are in luck. If you’ve come to hear two guys in their 40’s who never actually looked at the word “Harbinger” and think it’s ok to pronounce it as “HarBRINGer” or “HarBINger” rather than “HarBUNger”, you are also in luck. If you’ve come because you accidentally watched the 2022 Will Klipstine film “The Harbinger”, we sympathize, but we’re talking about Andy Mitton film, because, as we all know, there’s no quittin’ on Mitton.

When you’re banging through usually pretty meh movie after movie for a podcast, coming across a 77 minute film is a welcome respite. Even better is when that 77 minute film is actually a good movie, like 2018’s ‘The Witch in the Window’, the film that JR has been praising for the past 300+ episodes. Give it a watch, give us a listen, because, as we all know, there’s no quittin’ on Mitton.

Did you know the furthest you can be from a road in New Hampshire is 4.4 miles? Nobody tell that to the cosmic entity in 2010’s ‘YellowBrickRoad’, the first in our series of Andy Mitton related films. That’s right, the thing JR has been talking about for the past 9 years is finally happening, because, as we all know, there’s no quittin’ on Mitton.
