This episode, Mike and James explore two titles with a little international flair. Both of these movies need a superintendent who's not a jerk to help the cast escape the horrors of their run-down apartment buildings. One has an issue with zombies and the other is infested with spiders... "What Nooo!!" Yes, that's right, Mark Wahlberg. On this epis…

Thanks for being here with us! In this episode we cover companionship. It’s a beautiful thing that shouldn’t be abused, or mixed with Voodoo apparently. Both of these films show how companionship can go terribly and amazingly wrong. We get deep into the original Childs Play (1988) where Chucky became the horror icon he is today. We talk a lot about…

This week, we are wolf-positive and leapin' n hoppin' on a moon shadow. It's The Howling from 1981. Which is one of the reasons Mike wanted to do makeup FX in the first place. The boys have a good time with this one discussing things like the maturing of young men who saw Marsha for the first time and what's in Dick Miller's bookstore. In our secon…

This is a fun one that's sure to keep you smiling as you look over your shoulder and see who is following you.

There are lots of behind-the-scenes moments on these two films for you knowledge-hungr…

On this episode, we take a class in low-budget filmmaking and discuss Saw (2004), which at the time was the directorial debut of James Wan. Who has since become one of the 4 basic food groups of horror. It was also the writing and acting debut of Leigh Whannel, who's gone on to be heavily involved in so many Wan and Blumhouse projects. After escapi…

Hey fans! Here is your bi-monthly slice of humor and movie reviews. We had a real good time on this one we actually had to stop twice because we were laughing too hard. You'll probably know when; it's absurd. We apologize in advance for the sophomoric humor we dove into. What's there to say about Stephen King's only movie he's ever directed? Well, …

Hey everyone, It's exciting to say this is our twelfth episode! And it's a doozy. For our first feature, It's a classic Joel Schumacher film starring the Coreys and Kiefer Sutherland, The Lost Boys (1987), and everyone has been talking about Robert Eggers new Nosferatu. Now its our turn for our second film. It's a fantastic little Bloodsucking doub…

Hey everyone! We have a special guest in the studio! A few months back, we were on comedian Dana Gould's podcast, The Dana Gould Hour, during his Halloween episode, so we invited him to join us here and asked him what he would like to review. Dana chose last year's Oscar-winning Godzilla Minus One, and we paired it with The Host, a Korean monster m…

Hey, it's our tenth episode and our first of 2025! Also our first little milestone! We think these two movies oddly enough go pretty well together. There are lots of behind-the-scenes tidbits in this episode regarding (1995) Species. We also discuss Michael Madsen turned up to 11, What's in the Species hot tub? Why this movie's special effects were…

Happy Holidays! There's a little bit more in the stocking this year, as this episode clocks in as the longest yet (Mom, you'll have to split it into two LOL). It's the original Omen, with all kinds of how'd they do that, and special spooky stuff about "The Curse of the Omen." Our second feature is the new 2024 prequel to the original Omen, The Firs…

The long-awaited Videodrome/Substance episode is here! If you are looking for body horror, you've found it. Everyone has been talking about the Substance and now the boys finally get to share their notes. This episode was actually supposed to be on before, but got shifted around when we did the Thanksgiving special. So here it is...On this one Mike…

Here's our first collaborative show! A handful of you listeners sent in reviews of bad movies, and we read them out. Tyler, our announcer, is live in the studio for the whole show as we do an in-depth and hopefully hilarious deep dive on M Night Shyamalan's, The Happening (2008), Mark Wahlberg impersonations abound, as well as plenty of movie sound…

Honestly, this may not sound like a good review pairing, at least not Leprechaun...but this may be our funniest one yet. Listen along as we explore such topics as General Mills refusal to support Leprechaun with Lucky Charms, hear some fun makeup and set stories, learn how Mike's not a stalker, but will reach out to famous directors he doesn't know…

Welcome to our Halloween Episode where we decided to review one of the lesser-known Halloween movies the (1982) classic Halloween 3: Season of the Witch, it's nuts!! and pair it with the Cairnes Brothers' (2023) hit, Late Night with The Devil.
