This May Hurt a Bit

Let's dive into what could be the greatest horror film of all time. Any first time watchers out there? 

We conclude our series on Maniac Cop! With just three, how did it change? Atkins vs Davi? Who would be the right fit for a reboot? 

Which was your favorite?

Our friend who joined us for Silent Night, Deadly Night 5 makes good on his request to come back for Maniac Cop 3! It's not nearly as bad as people think. 

Cordell returns with bigger action, bigger set pieces and more kills! What do you think of him hanging out with another killer? Do you like the bigger version of it all? Would you like to have a Cop-E-Cat?

And please do click through to hear Jay Chattaway's "Maniac Cop" rap.

We discuss William Lustig's 1988 film, "Maniac Cop" with guests Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum! We also talk about their latest comic series from Dark Horse Comics, "Minor Threats". What grindhouse filmmaker would best adapt this comic? What is it like working in an already established franchise vs creator owned comics? And why is Tom Atkins the sexiest man alive?

Pick up your Minor Threats books at Dark Horse Comics!

Is the legacy of Basket Case more wacky than grimy? Favorite kill? Where to go from here? Stay tuned here to find out which franchise we tackle next!

Can we get goofier than part 2? Yes. Yes, I think we can. 

John's co-host of "John and Alexx Hate Stuff", Alexx Bollen joins us to discuss "Basket Case 2". You gotta admire Hennelotter for just going Silly for the sequel.

Dead When I Found Her

We go from classy to grimey in Frank Henenlotter's "Basket Case". We love this one in all of its early 80s grindhouse New York glory. Who doesn't love that little guy, Belial. Well, ok... I understand if not. 

We wrap up the Omen franchise! Best Damien, Order we'd watch again and of course, revealing that Kill Count for all five movies. So now... what's next?
