After a 3-month hiatus we are back to talk about why we had to take the time off, what's new in our lives and what we have been watching during that time away from the mics. We felt it would be best to ease back into recording again to this is just a casual episode just to catch up with you all and let you know that we are back. #skewereduniversepo…

As we close out the celebration of Leiann and her birthday month, she picked a little Norwegian film that is available on Netflix, 2020s Cadaver. This was such a great way to end our Leiann's Birthday month schedule. Such an intriguing and dark film that was a great follow up to our sexy episode 100. #skewereduniversepodcast #skewereduniverse #podc…

It's Episode 100 and it's also March which means Leiann takes the reigns for programming in honor of her birthday. We decided to start off her b-day choices by watching quite possibly the sexiest thing to have ever been filmed, Michael Bolton's Big, Sexy Valentine's Day Special. Get your chilled champagne, thrown down that bear skin rug and have th…

First Watch February comes to a close and to celebrate the life, legacy and art of David Lynch I was joined by my friend and fellow Sickos Club member Brett Michelle to discuss 1986's Blue Velvet. This was a lot of fun, especially since I had never seen Blue Velvet until now. (Editor's note: apologies for the less than stellar audio this time aroun…

First Watch February this year is dedicated to the life, art and memory of a true icon of filmmaking, David Lynch. Since Leiann is in recovery from cybernetic enhancement surgery, I called in my friends from At the Devil's Ball, Nathaniel and Sammael to discuss 2001's Mulholland Dr. This was a fun and fitting way to kick off First Watch February to…

It's time to close out January is for Giallo and to do so I needed to bring in a special guest. I reached out to my group of fellow Sickos and Brett Michelle answered the call. She joins me as we close out this month of black gloved mystery by talking about Mario Bava's 1964 tale of murder and fashion.... Blood and Black Lace. This is bit of a long…

It's January which means it's time once again to put on your black gloves and dive into some giallo films with us. No Leiann this time, but I'm joined by splatterpunk horror author and fellow podcast Chuck Nasty to help me talk about a super influential film.... Mario Bava's 1971 film, A Bay of Blood. Also known as Ecology of Crime or Chain Reactio…

Leiann and I sat down to say goodbye to 2024 and have a casual conversation about the podcast. We talked about some of our favorite episodes and what we have planned for the upcoming 2025 podcast schedule. There are fireworks going off in the background for a bit thanks to living next to an amusement park, but we thought it would be a little fun si…

After a special Skewered Universe Special Report addressing our delay, we get into our offering for Nic Cage November by talking about 2023's Dream Scenario. This was a movie neither Leiann nor I had seen let alone heard of which made for a great watch to celebrate this annual tradition. Cage once again showing why he's one of the best to do it wit…

A little later that we anticipated due to home renovations throwing off our schedule but here is our Halloween Special. Leiann and I talk about an episode the Halloween episode of Living Single called "Trick or Trust" as well as an episode of Married...with Children titled "Damn Bundys" that didn't air on Halloween but it has Robert Englund as The …

While we know it's spooky season, we have a special one-off episode for you all. Leiann has been wanting me to watch the 1995 movie Kids, and she thought it would make for an interesting episode, and I agreed. This is not our typical Interstellar Interstitial style review. We approached this one a little differently and while we talk about the film…

This episode we go back to high school with the 1981 slasher, Graduation Day. Be warned, this episode was a re-record after the first recording was unexpectedly lost during the save process when Jeff accidentally hit a combo on the keyboard that shut down the computer.......so apologies if we sound not as enthusiastic. Grab your caps and gowns and …

After a longer than anticipated production hiatus, we are back, and boy did we pick hell of a film to come back with. This episode is all about witches, dancing, and hooks as we talk about the remake to Argento's classic film, Suspiria from 2018. A longer film than we anticipated but was it worth our time?? We also talk about some stuff we've been …

We are back, at least temporarily to let you all know what's been happening during the Skewered Universe Podcast production hiatus. There's talk about stuff we've been watching, video games we have been playing, and some personal stuff that I share because I wanted to open about some things I've only every vaguely mentioned in the past. It's an off…

*We had a minor audio issue during this episode so apologies for the less than stellar sound. I, Jeff, did as much as I could on the back end to clean it up and make it sound as listenable as possible. We are working on some audio upgrades for the near future, but we have the current issues finally sorted out and should be back to sounding more nor…

We continue with Leiann's Birthday Month and this time she decided to choose the 2020 film starring Imogen Poots and Jesse Eisenberg, Vivarium. Before we decided to check out house #9 in a housing development of infinitely identical homes with no residents, we talk a bit about the Netflix series The Sandman, based on the Neil Gaiman graphic novel. …

It's March which means it's Leiann's Birthday month, so we are watching movies of her choosing. We kick off this episode talking a bit about the recently released docuseries Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV and how it made us feel equally depressed, saddened, disgusted and angry and how I've been going back through the early 2000's superhero …

First Watch February comes to a close with a hell of a finale. Leiann and I were joined by our very good friend and fellow podcaster from Strange Highways, Paul Steadman and his lovely wife Mary to discuss Satoshi Kon's 1997 animated feature Perfect Blue. It's always a blast to talk with Paul and it was even better having Mary on as well to talk ab…

First Watch February continues, and I had the pleasure of talking with writer, director, podcast host, comedian and one of my co-hosts on Tales from The Podcast, Ron Purtee. This was Ron's selection and made a perfect movie to consume for this month. **Before you watch this movie, if you have misophonia or another auditory issue that make multiple …

We kick off First Watch February by checking out the 2022 film The Menu. A stellar cast and a very cool premise had Leiann and I ready to sit down and dine on this one. #skewereduniversepodcast #skewereduniverse #podcast #horror #horrorpodcast #horrormovies #movies #themenumovie #themenu2022 #themenu #ralphfiennes #anyataylor-joy #nicholashoult Wan…

To help ring in 2024, Leiann and I grabbed some snacks & alcoholic beverages and recorded the first audio commentary (you know the one we have promised for over a year now) for Tales from the Crypt Presents: Demon Knight. This is our way of saying thanks to everyone who has listened from the beginning and stuck with us through everything that has b…

We kick off our December series, Slay Bells Ring...Are You Frightened, by checking out a little French film from 1990 called Deadly Games aka Dial Code Santa Claus. This was a first time watch for both Leiann and me and it was worth not knowing anything going into this movie. If you're looking for a holiday family film that is a little bit Die Hard…
