The Kulturecast

We being Not-So-Newvember with a look at a film that features Tim Allen as a dog and Robert Downey Jr. as a mad scientist, The Shaggy Dog. The film is an absolute trainwreck, and not in the endearing way, so come listen in on our thoughts on what happens when Disney decides to remake a already insane film into a true disaster.

We end Horrortober and celebrate Halloween with Hausu, a film that literally defies logic and convention. The film follows seven friends as they visit one of the friend's aunts for a leisurely summer getaway. The vacation turns into a nightmare as killer cats, a possessed house, and a hungry piano start picking off the friends one by one. It's a straightforward plot but with an execution that is at times hilarious, surreal, and bizarre.

It's a genre-bending thriller/horror film, and is destined to be a future cult classic. Along with analysis of the film, we also speak with director Nick Tomnay about the film, the original short, and what he is up to now.

We near the end of Horrortober with the latest Kulturecast to pay tribute to horror legend Wes Craven with his final entry into the story of Freddy Krueger: Wes Craven's New Nightmare. The film features Heather Langenkamp playing a herself as she is coerced, by director Wes Craven and a demonic entity that has taken the form of Freddy, to play Nancy Thompson one more time. It's a meta-take on the classic franchise, and an interesting entry as well. We also speak with Matt Winston, son of special effects maven Stan Winston, who plays Chuck in the film.

We head into the land of monsters on Horrortober‘s latest Kulturecast to take a look at two of director Adam Green's films: Digging Up The Marrow and Hatchet. Marrow features Adam Green playing a fictionalized version of himself who is approached by William Dekker, played by Ray Wise, who posits that monsters are real and that live under the ground in the Marrow. Hatchet puts a group of tourists on a ghost tour in the bayous of Louisiana right in the path of Victor Crowley, a disfigured killer who wants nothing but revenge. Along with talking about both films, we also have a full-length interview with director Adam Green about both films, his feelings on the industry, and what he's up to now.

We head into a sex dungeon with Horrortober‘s latest bonus Kulturecast and take a look at a true underground horror classic: The Poughkeepsie Tapes. The film chronicles, through a documentary-style, the horrific actions of a serial killer in the town of Poughkeepsie, New York. It features videos shot by the serial killer, along with talking-head style interviews with experts about the killer. It's a one of a kind film, and a truly horrifying look into a serial killer's mind. Along with a talk about the film, we also spoke with director John Erick Dowdle, writer Drew Dowdle, and actress Stacy Chbosky about the film, what it was like to work together, and what they are up to now.

We rise from the grave, joined by guest co-host filmmaker Matt Campagna, for Horrortober‘s latest bonus Kulturecast: Return of the Living Dead. The film follows the exploits of a group of dead heads who rise from the grave looking for brains and sweet punk rock chicks. It's a send-up of the zombie sub-genre that added some of the most well known tropes along with a whole lot of humor. We along speak with Thom Mathews who played Freddy in the film.
