Necromancer

Movie: Creature (1985). Ghoulfriend Tony Wash answers the necromancers’ distress signal and gets more than he bargained for when he disembarks on their ruined spaceship/podcast. Bret may have already put Shira through his own Space Horror program but will it save her from William Malone’s Creature? Come for the alien shenanigans and stay for the […]

Movies: 10 Things I Hate About You (1999) and Halloween (1976). The necromancers have made it to 100 episodes and they’re taking another pass at “Episode 0” to celebrate! But Bret and Shira hardly need the excuse to talk about their favorite movies within their respective favorite genres. Listen and then stick around for some delightfully unhinged movie […]

Part 2 of 2. Movie:  (2007). The necromancers have one last stop to make in their journey through Spain. It’s just a routine 911 call to an apartment building. What could go wrong? The answer is a whole lot in Bret’s pick, REC. Tune in to find out what the fuss is about and then stick […]

Part 2 of 2. Bret and Shira can’t get enough of that himbo with a heart of gold: Brendan Fraser. And why do one movie about him romancing a woman named Eve, when they could do two? Plus a zombie. That’s right. The Mummy (1999) is Bret’s pick. Don’t be on the wrong side of […]

Part 1 of 2. Bret and Shira are back with another actor themed episode and Brendan Fraser, king of 1999, is the star. The necromancers kick off the celebration of Baby B with Shira’s pick, Blast From Past. You’d think a movie about a man kept inside a bomb shelter for 30 years may sound […]

Part 2 of 2. The necromancers are done being the Devil’s playthings but a bargain is a bargain. They owe the dark one another movie and it’s a good one. Bret’s pick, Constantine, is up! It’s no secret how much he loves Keanu’s take on the character but does Hellblazer fan Shira feel the same […]

Part 1 of 2. Bret and Shira descend the nine circles of hell to meet their next subject: the devil. The duo may not care for his arithmetic but they are fans of Satan’s film appearances. Up first is Shira’s pick, Bedazzled. If there’s one thing the prince of darkness loves as much as sinnin’, […]

Part 2 of 2. The necromancers are here to remind you that they are ending the theme of breakups. It may have been seven hours and 15 days since you took your love away but it’s not too late to turn back time at The Broken Hearts Gallery. Shira’s pick has an interesting answer to […]
