It's kind of surprising how many movies there are with the premise "Stuck in a house with a wild animal." And considering that all three of these are pretty good, it's kind of surprising that there aren't even more of them.

LINK (1986, Richard Franklin)

BURNING BRIGHT (2010, Carlos Brooks)

CRAWL (2019, Alexandre Aja)

We ransacked the "Holiday Crime" section at Scarecrow Video and came up with three gritty, violent and most of all JOLLY thrillers for this most wonderful time of the year. Merry Christmas, dirtbag!

RIOT (1996, Joseph Merhi)

NAKED CITY: A KILLER CHRISTMAS (1998, Peter Bogdanovich)

'R XMAS (2001, Abel Ferrara)

Christmas is famously a depressing holiday for some folks. The main reason for this, we think, is because it's the time of year when people get trapped in ice-cold confined spaces by psychos and/or pure human incompetence.

P2 (2007, Franck Khalfoun)

FROZEN (2010, Adam Green)

ATM (2012, David Brooks)

Time to talk about some vigilantSHEs for a change! Three ladies pushed too far, who decide to arm themselves, learn krav maga and stick it to the men. It's in Revelations, people!

THE BRAVE ONE (2007, Neil Jordan)

A VIGILANTE (2018, Sarah Daggar-Nickson)

PEPPERMINT (2018, Pierre Morel)

Several people may have heard of the first Relentless film, which raked in nearly 7 million dollars in box office receipts in the late 80's. But did you know that not long after that first movie, they made two more of them? Actually, they made three more but we love you too much to subject you to that amount of Relentlessness.

RELENTLESS (1989, William Lustig)

DEAD ON: RELENTLESS 2 (1992, Michael Schroeder)

RELENTLESS 3 (1993, James Lemmo)

You must join us for this Spooky Season episode about two good Body Snatchers films and one bad one. You have no choice. Life will be better if you listen. There will be no more wars, no more hatred. No more love. But we can promise you this: plenty of goo!

INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (1978, Philip Kaufman)

BODY SNATCHERS (1993, Abel Ferrara)

INVASION (2007, Oliver Hirschbiegel)

October is here: the leaves are changing, the shadows grow longer, the moon is full 100% of the time. What better reason to discuss three thrillers showcasing the ferocity of canis lupus—the common household wolf for those not versed in Latin!

WOLFEN (1981, Michael Wadleigh)

WOLF (1994, Mike Nichols)

THE WOLFMAN (2010, Joe Johnston)

So it's come to this: Emalie, Matt and Travis dutifully answer YOUR questions about movies, food, dogs, but mostly movies. Intriguing, no?

You can call Pamela Anderson an icon, you can call her a sex symbol, you can call her someone with pretty bad taste in men and/or music. But don't—and this is very important—call her 'babe.' In case that's something you were thinking about doing.

SNAPDRAGON (1993, Worth Keeter)

RAW JUSTICE (1994, David A Prior)

BARB WIRE (1996, David Hogan)

The year was 1986, and the Brat Pack—a group of hot young actors that folks associated with each other—was on top of the world. Then these three movies were released, and that was basically the the end of that.

BLUE CITY (1986, Michelle Manning)

OUT OF BOUNDS (1986, Dick Tuggle)

WISDOM (1986, Emilio Estevez)
