- Episode 29 - Better Luck Than Chuck | A New Horror Trivia Gameshow
In this episode, Mike sits down with husband-and-wife duo Tony Wash and Meredith Tummillo, the executive producers behind Better Luck Than Chuck, a horror trivia game show born from a late-night conversation about whether a horror trivia show had ever been made.
They discuss the journey from that initial idea to a fully produced series, their inspirations, selecting contestants, the challenges of bringing the concept to life, and why partnering with independent horror companies like Fright Rags, Severin Films, Trick or Treat Studios, and Terror Vision was so important.
Along the way, they share a few drinks, talk about the show's future and audience participation, and wrap things up by putting each other to the test with some horror trivia of their own.
Make sure to pour a drink and catch the premiere on September 24th on YouTube!Where to find Better Luck Than Chuck:

55 min - After The Last Rental - The Gate (1987)
This week on After the Last Rental, we're cracking open the 1987 cult classic The Gate and pairing it with a pour of Buffalo Trace Bourbon—Mike's gateway whiskey into bourbon.
Using our 3 Sips System, we revisit the movie's unforgettable practical effects, Satanic Panic atmosphere, and surprisingly effective nightmare fuel, while debating whether its tiny demons, meandering story, and over-the-top finale still hold up today.
Is The Gate an overlooked '80s gem or just a nostalgic rental best left on the shelf? Grab a glass and join us as we decide if this cult favorite deserves to be served Neat, On the Rocks, or Watered Down.

51 min - After the Last Rental - House of Wax (2005)The Most Overhated Horror Remake of the 2000s?
In this episode of After the Last Rental, Zack pulls House of Wax off the shelf while Mike pours a glass of Maker’s Mark. From Paris Hilton’s infamous “See Paris Die” marketing to the sticky practical effects overshadowed by the glossy early-2000s cast, the guys revisit a remake that may deserve more credit than its reputation suggests.
Along the way they talk doomed road trips, hillbilly horror, the death of the curated movie soundtrack, and why the town of Ambrose feels like a cursed roadside attraction somewhere between Tourist Trap and Clifton Hill. Will House of Wax stand the heat… or melt under the flame?

1 hr 17 min - After the Last Rental - Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare
On this episode of After the Last Rental, Zack and Mike re-visit Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare, the one that was supposed to actually bury the franchise, but somehow brought it roaring back to life. Zack pulls a final chapter that leans into bigger lore, bigger cameos, and bigger spectacle, while Mike pairs it with a pour of Weller Antique.
Together, they break down a sequel that trades scares for style, where Freddy becomes more cartoon than nightmare, kills land like punchlines, and reality bends into full-on dream logic. From MTV-era energy and celebrity appearances to a deeper dive into Freddy’s origins, the duo breaks it all down through their “3 Sips System” to decide if this finale still holds up—or fades into parody.Check out the video store: @terrorracksvideo
