Who is Silent Hill for? Fans of the video games? Fans of horror films? Maybe a little bit of neither! Yakov and Josh turn up the fog machine and wonder how Sean Bean manages to not get killed, among other things.

Josh and Yakov take on two very different eating-people-for-fun-and-profit flicks, 1999's Ravenous and 2004's Dumplings, and talk about what goes wrong and right, respectively, with the films.

Filmed thirty years later and set thirty (still futuristic) years earlier, this Alien prequel gives Aliens-franchise fans Yakov and Josh a lot to make complicated faces about, figuratively speaking.

Josh and Yakov revisit Ridley Scott's classic and pick out the few rough spots while chattering about all the stuff that's great and meandering through the franchise that followed.

A close reading of the recent based-on-a-truthy-story flick about paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren tackling a big mess of haunty badness in 1971. An imperfect but at times super duper creepy film.

The J and the Y take a visit to another formative meta-horror classic, 1996's Wes Craven horror comedy Scream, and talk about what works well, what doesn't, and just how amazingly rooted/dated in the mid-90s it is.

It's 1999, and some idiot kids got killed in the Maryland woods, and it's up to Josh and Yakov to basically talk about how they feel like The Blair Witch Project still holds up really well. Also a bit about video games!

Yakov and Josh tackle the 2007 indie wunderkind Paranormal Activity, and talk about found footage, zero-budget horror, and the problem with having your main character a terrible unlikeable boring jerky jerkface jerk. But it's a good movie!

Polishing off the John Carpenter "Apocalypse Trilogy", Josh and Yakov watch Sam Neill watch the world go to hell and talk talk about metanarratives, Lovecraft, and power suits.

Yakov and Josh talk about John Carpenter's 1987 film, comparing it with The Thing (see ep. 25!) and marveling at the mustache and general creepiness of the film's notional hero. Also, Satan.
