Released on 10/30/2023
HAPPY HALLOWEEN, EMTs! In this week's episode, we finally ascend to the pinnacle of spooky season-- and what better way to celebrate than digging into the 6th film in the endless franchise, "Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers," from a time when horror was notoriously excellent: the mid-1990s. Special topics for your consideration include: Paul Stephen Rudd (America's boyfriend), Mama's Family, utterly forgettable leads, a posthumous dedication to a horror legend, an attempt to draw a "Halloween" family tree and SO MUCH baby stress.Â
1995 was a funny year. You can hear us talk about it in Episode Episode 214- "Congo," Episode 257- "Se7en," and Episode 272-Â "Village of the Damned."

Released on 10/09/2023
In this week's episode, Party Month continues with the 2014 sequel in the Norwegian franchise, "Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead." Special topics for your consideration include: SO MANY hot dogs on the outside, good gore, useless cops in a new locale, being an asshole but also a stupid asshole, a solid appreciation for Martin Starr, and a bit of soccer hooliganism. Also I very much lost my voice by the end of this recording and I apologize for that.Â
It's been ages since we covered the original "Dead Snow"-- all the way back in Episode 92! If you're interested in other Scandinavian horror, you may enjoy Episode 163- "Let the Right One In"(Sweden), Episode 260- "Rare Exports" (Finland), and Episode 275- "Lake Bodom" (Finland).Â

Episode 447- Cocaine Bear (2023)
Released on 10/02/2023
It's the most wonderful time of the year! Welcome to spooky season, babies, and this year we are doing a full month of party movies-- the kind of movie you can watch with a crowd and yell at the scream. Party movie month kicks off with a strong entrant, the 2023 film "Cocaine Bear." Special topics for your consideration include: rethinking athletic training supplements, those weird 2 foot pixie stix, a smattering of potty talk, Avery Jessup, fingerblocking, and an enormous amount of joy courtesy of a listener.
In the absence of other horror movies about drugs (I can't think of any that we've done!) please enjoy the work of O'Shea Jackson Sr., aka Ice Cube in Episode 152- "Anaconda."

Episode 446- Jacob's Ladder (1990)
Released on 09/25/2023
In this week's episode, we're determined to make jokes out of a very sad movie about a Vietnam veteran because somehow that is a job that a person can have! Special topics for your consideration include: a very "X-Files" era, the repeated deaths of Macauley Culkin, hunky television actors, being the guy hanging out with the girls who catcall the postman, angels/demons/whatever, and advice that *might* actually be right for a change!Â
War is horrific and has thus inspired some really great and some really terrible horror movies. You may or may not enjoy Episode 93- "Ravenous," Episode 187- "Dog Soldiers," and Episode 223- "Curse of the Cannibal Confederates."Â

Episode 445- Opera (1987)
Released on 09/18/2023
In this week's episode, we're spending all our mental efforts trying to suss out the meaning of yet another Dario Argento film with 1987's "Opera." Do we figure it out? OF COURSE NOT. Special topics for your consideration include: more dream logic, letting birds solve a crime, getting fed up with being murdered, finding new ways into the dating scene, and DANIELE SOAVE!
We love Dario Argento, I think? Perhaps for different reasons though. You can hear us discuss his work in Episode 23- "Suspiria," Episode 84- "Demons," Episode 185- "Deep Red," Episode 306- "Tenebrae," Episode 325- "The Bird with the Crystal Plumage," and Episode 369- "Phenomena."

Episode 444- The Pope's Exorcist (2023)
Released on 09/11/2023
Look, I know that I have said it so often on this show that it has lost all meaning (did it ever have meaning?) but this week, it's a spi-cy meeeat-a-baaaaall! Holy ghost, literally. We are tackling the 2023 Russell-Crowe-as-an-Italian film "The Pope's Exorcist." Special topics for your consideration include: Crappy teens, possessed kids who just aren't Regan (can they even tap dance?!), Italian doctors living and working in Spain, the absolution of all the Catholic Church's sins, an extremely sexy pope, and a reminder that in most international settings, Americans are the worst.
Exorcisms are a mainstay in horror, and horror is a mainstay in us. Check out Episode 90- "Amityville II: The Possession," Episode 155- "The Exorcist," Episode 216- "The Devil Inside Her" in which there is an exorcism of an extremely strong baby, my god what a fantastic film, and Episode 367- "The Last Exorcism."Â

Episode 443- Slender Man (2018)
Released on 09/04/2023
In this week's episode, we're pretending that we know our way around the internet with the 2018 creepypasta-inspired film "Slender Man." It's a doozy. Special topics for your consideration include: a reconsidering of Jamiroquai, allowing middle-aged men to write teenage girl characters despite not now nor ever having been one, worrying about Abercrombie Tom's plotline, and the real question...does Slenderman have a weiner? DOES HE?
It turns out that several feature films have been made based on creepypasta but this is our first. We did reference both "Bye Bye Man" and "Empty Man" in this episode, so go listen to those if you'd like-- Episodes 324 and 357 respectively.
