The Podcast Downstairs

This week the boys hunker down in a cozy cabin cellar to discuss one of the most wild, disgusting, violent, and of course groovy franchises of the century. (Entirely in our own opinion.) The Evil Dead. So grab the remains of your best friend, gas up the chainsaw, and give a hand to the boys while they dig up the goods. Surely you too will be dead by dawn.

While in the depth of the this frozen tundra, the boys explore deep in to the holiday classic, Black Christmas. With plenty of sleighs from the original 1974, to 2019, with a not so slight detour into 2006. It’ll be a holly jolly fright! And be sure to answer those Christmas calls!

Continuing with their deep dive into classic slasher movies and their early 2000s remakes, the boys escape from their Asylum and wreak havoc on a Halloween classic from 1978 and 2007.

The boys would love to have you for dinner. BBQ, cannibalism, and hot takes. The ghouls compare and contrast the 1974 hit to the 2003 remake in a (cranberry) saucy style. We’d be remiss to not touch on all the cinematic goodness in between. Dig in!

“In space, no one can hear you — bleed?” You got xenomorph in my yautja! Or did I get yautja in your xenomorph? From Ridley Scott and John McTiernan to Noah Hawley and Dan Trachtenberg, we’re covering the whole gamut of both the ALIEN and PREDATOR franchises! (Plus maybe one more surprise franchise for good measure!)

This week the boys roll around in the recently disturbed grounds of the 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s. Our offerings include the head-turning movies of almost a dozen directors that dug us out of our graves of torture-pulp and glossy slasher remakes. A heart-warming (and heart-ripping) reliving of the last twenty-some-odd years of horror’s most humble heavy-hitters.
