Episode 423- Sinister (2012)
Released on 04/10/2023
In this week's episode, we're questioning why Ethan Hawke loves being in movies about dead children so much with the 2012 supernatural thriller "Sinister." Special topics for your consideration include: making a whole ass movie about wandering your house in the dark while wearing lounge pants, being a whiner about coffee, being a shit husband and a shittier dad, actors you know from every other conceivable things, and the problem with true crime.
Do you enjoy seeing Ethan Hawke act against dead children? You may enjoy Episode 394- "The Black Phone." Do you enjoy Vincent D'Onofrio doing whatever he wants? Then we'd suggest Episode 133- "The Cell." True crime fan? Apparently we covered "The Town that Dreaded Sundown" in Episode 49, but it's the remake and not even the original. Still, true story!

Episode 422- Shrunken Heads (1994)
Released on 04/03/2023
In this week's episode, we're headed back to the weird and wonderful world of Charles Band with the 1994 film "Shrunken Heads." Special topics for your consideration include: adult teens, a lesson in Haitian history, Meg Foster in the role of a lifetime, inappropriate jauntiness, nepotism babies, and condominiums,
Charles Band is a nutbar and I love him (almost all the time). Here are some movies he's had his hands in: Episode 156- "Gingerdead Man," Episode 164- "Puppet Master," Episode 165- "Puppet Master 2," Episode 171- "Ghoulies," Episode 186- "Tourist Trap," Episode 199- "Terrorvision (the live show!)" and Episode 354- "Dolls," a movie I completely forgot existed until I started this write-up and now I am delighted all over again.

And hey, if you're joining us as a new listener, welcome! We are very glad you're here.

Re-release: Episode 302- Verotika (2019)
Released on 03/20/2023
In this week's episode, we're taking a much-needed break but wanted to leave you with a classic: our review of the 2019 Glenn Danzig-written/directed/produced anthology film (film?) "Verotika." We hope you like it and if you know anyone who can get us a copy of "Death Rider in the House of Vampires," get in touch!! I still kind of don't believe it's real.
We'll catch you next week with a new episode in the Wan-iverse, "M3GAN."Â Â

Episode 420- Annihilation (2018) feat. Smoking Joe Perry
Released on 03/13/2023
Dudes, it's 420! We're celebrating by hanging with our friend Perry and discussing his pick, the 2018 sci-fi horror film "Annihilation." In the grand tradition of Werewolf Ambulance, though, it was not quite the movie he remembered. This is what they get for not letting me watch "Bong of the Dead," seriously! Special topics for your consideration include: wondering whether this movie is a metaphor for drugs or just sadness, exhaustion as a character choice, dealing with the consequences of not knowing a thing, and of course, weed.
420 baby! Thanks for sticking with us though so many ridiculous episodes-- we are truly grateful for all of yinz. We're going to be off next week for a lil break, but you can catch us TOMORROW as special guests on the God Awful Movies podcast (Episode 395- "The Exorcist 2: The Heretic.")
The only other thing I want to hype this week is Perry! Catch him on Episode 55- "Silence of the Lambs" and all of his stunning art on Instagram @smoking_joe_studio or on his website http://www.smokingjoestudio.comÂ

Episode 419- The Dark and The Wicked (2020)
Released on 03/06/2023
In this week's episode, we're discussing the 2020 supernatural horror film "The Dark and the Wicked," aka "An Extremely Allen Movie." Special topics for your consideration include: two very different schools of thought when it comes to handling one's emotions, chasing that old scare dragon, the hardness of farm folk (particularly compared to how baby-soft we are), and a delightfully Pittsburgh voicemail.Â
If you liked this movie, you'll probably love Episode 255- "Lake Mungo." We've also dealt with themes of grief in Episode 11- "The Babadook," Episode 47- "Don't Look Now," Episode 116- "The Descent," Episode 159- "Pet Sematary," Episode 224- "Hereditary," and Episode 270- "Midsommar."

Episode 418- The Nun (2018)
Released on 02/27/2023
In this week's episode, we're back to the Wan-iverse with the 2018 supernatural horror film "The Nun." Special topics for your consideration include: a case of mistaken identity, rewriting The Replacements lyrics to be about prayer, an extremely graphic depiction of the monetization of this film, and even more controversial opinions that will likely alienate our listenership!
Did you miss our episodes on "The Conjuring" series? They are Episode 96 (the OG) and Episode 33 (the sequel). And for good measure, why don't you also listen to Episode 303- "Insidious" because I am half-sure they are all the same movie?

Episode 417- Skinamarink (2023)
Released on 02/20/2023
In this week's episode, we're discussing the brand new 2023 independent film "Skinamarink." Special topics for your consideration include: um, you know, saying some stuff...about stuff? Talking about corners, walls, ceilings, and the feet of children, trying to get a foothold in someone else's nightmare, and a very weird personalized license plate.Â
We've done a couple avant garde/arthouse style horror movies in the past. May we suggest Episode 115- "Hausu," Episode 194- "Santa Sangre," or Episode 240- "Mandy"? Also, does everything Lucio Fulci ever made count? If so, boy have we done a lot of those.

Episode 416- A Chinese Ghost Story (1987)
Released on 02/13/2023
In this week's episode, we're discussing the 1987 supernatural (?) educational (??) erotic (???) film "A Chinese Ghost Story." Normally I'd write some jokes here and compare it to other movies we've covered, but frankly the Super Bowl made me get too tore up to do all that. Totally not my fault obviously. You'll like this movie though, it's pretty goddamn fantastic.

Episode 415- The Menu (2022)
Released on 02/06/2023
In this week's episode, we're exploring the world of fine dining and luxurious food with the 2022 film "The Menu." Special topics for your consideration include: a gift from a listener sparks food joy for us, being open to John Leguizamo, gatekeeping of hobbies, the good old days of smoking in restaurants, red flags in a potential partner, and chocolate hats, THE CHOCOLATE HATS!
We've covered two Anya Taylor-Joy movies in the past (Episode 73- "The Witch" and Episode 319- "New Mutants" which is also a crossover with the 'Marveling at Marvel's Marvels podcast) and one Nicholas Hoult (Episode 267- "Warm Bodies.) Sorry no Ralph Fiennes.
