2 Guys And A Chainsaw - A Horror Movie Review Podcas...

Demonic Toys

Released on 09/12/2024

Otherwise, there are probably better so-bad-they're-good movies to spend your time with. Craig revisited some nostalgic one-liners from his childhood, while Todd just threw up his hands.

Frankenstein Unbound

Released on 09/03/2024

We wrap up our Roger Corman tribute with the last film he directed, way back in 1990. It's a smarter-than-you'd-imagine version of the Frankenstein story that incorporates a modern-day mad scientist, time travel, and Mary Shelley herself - not to mention an all-star cast, including Raul Julia, John Hurt, and Bridget Fonda.

Piranha

Released on 08/27/2024

Stephen Spielberg called this his favorite Jaws knock-off, and we can see why. It's just cheesy fun from beginning to end, with great underwater photography and terrible, horrible mutant piranhas on the attack.

A Bucket of Blood

Released on 08/20/2024

Not only did A Bucket Of Blood give Dick Miller one of his few starring roles, but it provided a story template (as well as leftover sets and actors) for Little Shop of Horrors a year later. See if this Corman classic still provides laughs and chills today as we walk you through this homage to House of Wax that parodies the beatnik scene at the time.

House of Usher

Released on 08/13/2024

Legendary filmmaker, Roger Corman, sadly left us this year. House of Usher (aka The Fall of the House of Usher) is the first of our four-part tribute to his legacy as a director, producer, and all-around powerhouse in the film industry. Join us as we spend the next four weeks discussing all-things-Corman with a curated selection of films that represent some of the best of his horror output, while showcasing his uncanny ability to make box office bank by nurturing up-and-coming talents and producing films that people want to SEE on shockingly low budgets and timelines.

The Shining

Released on 08/06/2024

Honestly, there's not much we can say about this film that hasn't already been said. But we sure enjoyed revisiting it after so many years, and it still managed to surprise and delight us.

The Last House On The Left

Released on 08/01/2024

A controversial and nasty rape-revenge shocker when it came out, it nevertheless was defended by critics for being a standout amongst its kind for its uncompromising and raw treatment of violence against two innocent teens at the hands of some hardened and callous criminals. And it certainly set the stage for Wes Craven's and Sean Cunningham's takeover of the horror genre in the decades to follow. Listen as we dissect this uncomfortable classic through a modern lens. We also reflect on 9+ years of friendship and fun talking about horror movies here on 2 Guys a Chainsaw.

Stir of Echoes

Released on 07/25/2024

Thanks to Paul for this long-standing request, selected by our Patrons. Coincidentally, The Sixth Sense and Stir of Echoes share similar themes, but this one is stylishly directed by accomplished screenwriter David Koepp. We had nothing bad to say about it. Enjoy!

Freaky

Released on 07/22/2024

Directed by Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day), co-written by Michael Kennedy (It's A Wonderful Knife), Freaky stars Vince Vaughn in a masterful and hilarious turn as a teenage girl trapped in the body of a Jason-like serial killer. Ultimately, we both agreed this modern horror-comedy is pure popcorn fun from beginning to end, yet still maintains a satisfyingly sharp, gory edge. Check it out!

Invasion of the Body Snatchers

Released on 07/11/2024

This week we pay tribute to Donald Sutherland, who recently passed away, with the 1978 remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Along with a look at Sutherland's performance, career and uncharacteristic magnetism, we discussed why this story has resonated with audiences throughout several generations.
