  • Black Christmas (1974)
    Chris and Eric are joined by OughtFiveFilm's Mike Wallace to talk one of Mike's favorite holiday horror films Black Christmas (1974). The film stars Margot Kidder and Olivia Hussey as two sorority sisters whose annual Christmas party is interrupted by a sadistic serial killer dead set on killing all of them. It's the proto-slasher that influenced every slasher afterward coming out four years before Halloween.

  • Kulturecast 2017 Wrap-Up
    Chris and Eric sit down to wrap-up the year in film that was 2017. From the disappointing lows of Alien: Covenant and Justice League to some of the best films of the year, they break down their favorite films, most overrated, most overlooked, and least favorite films of the year.

  • Justice League
    Chris and Eric are joined by director Matt Campagna to talk the latest misstep in the troubled DC Comics Extended Universe Justice League. The film stars Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, Ben Affleck, Ezra Miller, Henry Cavill, and Ray Fisher as the eponymous team who must fight an interstellar threat from destroying Earth. It's a poorly conceived film that does little to alleviate the persistent issues with the budding franchise.

  • Casino
    Chris and Eric are joined by OughtFiveFilm's Mike Wallace to talk Martin Scorsese's spiritual sequel to Goodfellas also featuring Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci, Casino. The film follows De Niro as Sam Rothstein, a bookie who is tasked with running the Tangiers Casino in Las Vegas, and Pesci as Nicky Santoro, a mobster who is tasked with protecting De Niro and the mob's investment. It's a fantastic film that is a worthy film to Goodfellas and works as a great standalone gangster film.

  • Thor: Ragnarok
    Chris and Eric are joined by director Matt Campagna as they talk Marvel's newest film and the third Thor film Thor: Ragnarok. The film reunites Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Mark Ruffalo as Hulk as they battle to escape Skaar and prevent the total destruction of Asgard. Along the way, he is joined by Loki, Valkyrie, and some newcomers as they fight Hela and her undead minions. It's the most comedic Marvel film yet and a welcome reprieve from the last two Thor films.

  • The King of Comedy
    Chris and Eric kick off their Martin Scorsese retrospective with a look at a film that is a perfect companion piece to Taxi Driver, The King of Comedy. The film stars Robert DeNiro as Rupert Pupkin, a delusional up-and-coming comedian, who goes to unfathomable lengths to attempt to win the favor of Jerry Lewis' Jerry Langford and become a stand-up comedian. It's a film that is as prescient as ever in our current society and a rough watch.

  • The Snowman
    Chris and Eric tackle what may be the worst film of 2017, the film adaptation of Jo Nesbø's best-selling Harry Hole novel The Snowman. The film stars Michael Fassbender as the alcoholic detective is being taunted in Oslo, Norway by a serial killer obsessed with building snowmen at the site of each of his crimes. It's a massive disappointment due to the amount of fantastic talent both in front of and behind the camera as well as being a wholly underwhelming first attempt at a Harry Hole film adaptation.

  • Happy Death Day
    Chris and Eric are stuck in a time loop as they try to determine who is killing them as they talk about Happy Death Day. The film stars Jessica Rothe as Tree, a sorority girl stuck in a time loop as she attempts to determine who her killer is. It's a small budget horror movie from Blumhouse and let's be honest, can they do any wrong?

  • Troll 2
    Chris and Eric are joined by Phil Mackie as they journey to Nilbog to talk what may be the worst film ever made Troll 2. The film stars Michael Stephenson and George Hardy and is directed by Claudio Fragrasso under the pseudonym Drake Floyd. It's a terrible film that nobody should watch, seriously, ever.
