Released on 05/28/2026
Movies discussed: Night Patrol, Whistle, Primate, The Littles (short)

We emerge from our Friday the 13th marathon with three new movies. Overall we’re impressed with Primate, underwhelmed by Whistle, and kinda baffled by Night Patrol.

We’re finally ki ki ki ah ah ahhhll done with the Friday the 13 series! While 8, 9 and the reboot are nowhere near the series’ heights, Jason X is still a special little creature and we love it.

Episode 518 – A Phoebe of Sense
Released on 04/23/2026
Movies discussed: 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, The Mortuary Assistant, Thrash, Diaboli (short)

We’re back! This time, we find The Mortuary Assistant kind of mediocre, Thrash surprisingly mediocre, and 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple equal parts beautiful and… kinda mediocre. But we had fun talking about ’em! Hear for yourself!

Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (again!)

Episode 517 – The Organ on Weed
Released on 04/04/2026
Movies discussed: Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, Undertone, Carnival of Souls, The Worm (short)

This time around we’re more than ready for Ready or Not 2, enjoy the rides at the Carnival of Souls, and find Undertone a little Underwhelming.
Also, it’s past April Fools, so you can rest assured that everything we say is 100% factual.

Episode 516 – Zombie As Manic Pixie Dream Girl
Released on 03/21/2026
Movies discussed: Vamp, Scream 7, All You Need is Blood, The Owl (short)

This week we ponder how many more Screams really need to be scrummed, why Grace Jones made a bizzarro vampire movie, and whether indie horror has to choose between sincere and gonzo.
Next episode’s assignments:
The Worm (short)
Hey, here’s a video from the Inspiraggio YouTube channel Matt mentioned about the representation of owls in the Hieronymus Bosch’s painting “The Garden of Earthly Delights.” Also, yes, Matt usually gets the name wrong as “The Garden of Good and Evil”. He blames John Cusack and working at a movie theater in 1997.

Episode 515 – Soulless Acridity
Released on 03/07/2026
Movies discussed: Send Help, Black Phone 2, Beast of War, Next Show in 90 Minutes (short)

This episode has it all: battle-scarred sharks, next-level Australian swearing, ice-skating ghosts, Jesus-centric flirting, paralytic octopuses, regurgitative CPR… Overall we all dig Send Help, but Black Phone 2 and Beast of War get split decisions.

Episode 514 – Wholesome Horniness
Released on 02/20/2026
Movies discussed: Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (again!), Friday the 13th: A New Beginning (again!), Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (again!), Avoid Asking (short)

This time we’re speedrunning the Tommy Jarvis saga in our Friday the 13th rewatch. We all agree VI is great, Charlie and Josh love IV, and Matt really digs V (which is his right as a horror fan and an American).

Look at this digital terror on Charlie’s shelf! He can’t wait to grow up and stabulate campers!

Episode 513 – There’s No Human Parts
Released on 02/04/2026
Movies discussed: The Toxic Avenger (remake), Dust Bunny, Queens of the Dead, The Rug (short)

This episode features three reality-adjacent flicks, each with a very particular vision. We all love the lush & feverish Dust Bunny and the intentionally low-rent new Toxic Avenger, while Queens of the Dead gets mixed reviews.

Released on 01/17/2026
Movies discussed: Friday the 13th (again!), Friday the 13th Part 2 (again!), Friday the 13th Part III (again!), Playing God (short)

Hey Hot Doggies! Hope y’all had a good holiday season! We extended ours a little – sorry for the wait.
This time we’re digging back into Friday the 13th, and finding they’re better than the culture remembers them to be. We had conflated a lot of the F13 knockoffs with the originals. It’s fascinating! Also, one of the best shorts we’ve seen in a long while.

Episode 511 – Do They Know It’s Stabmas Time?
Released on 12/25/2025
Movies discussed: Influencers, Necropolis, I Madman, Irradiated (short)

Hey Hoy Doggies!
This is likely our last show of 2025, so we’re celebrating by doing the same thing we always do. This time we all fall under the sway of Influencers, but have to debate the relative merits of low-budget 80s flicks Necropolis and I, Madman (Matt’s wrong as usual, but he’s so dang cute we’ll keep him).
Happy listening, joyous holidays, and we’ll chat atcha soon.
