The Buzzed Kill Podcast

Episode 80 - Good Touch, Bad Touch If there's one thing that we can't stand, it's when people invade our personal space. The aunt who wears too much lipstick and always kisses us on the cheek at Thanksgiving, the close-talker boss with the coffee breath, the little brat behind us at the grocery store who won't stop kicking us in the ankle, and don't even get us started on the demons and black magi...

Episode 79 - Bad Brew: A Closer look at The Island of Dr. Moreau Can we get totally serious here for just a second? If we’re being honest, we don’t exactly know what it’s like to get bad reviews. Our adoring listeners just can’t seem to get enough. But don’t take our word for it. Just take a look at some of these reviews! “The Buzzed Kill Podcast is by far the best podcast around. And being that I...

Episode 78 - No West For The Wicked - Ti West Director Spotlight If you're having a hard time finding something to watch tonight, we have a suggestion, go to the West... No no, wait, where are you going? We said, go to the West. No, stop. Sit down, just sit there and let us finish. Go to the West, my friend, Ti West. You might know the name, you might not, but if you are a fan of good slowburn hor...

Episode 77 - To Grandmother's Brewhouse We Go As we wrap up "Women In Horror Month 2018", we wanted to take a moment to pay tribute to the unsung heroes of the horror world, the grandmothers. Where would we be without our grandma's. They make sure we are always well fed, they provide us with nuggets of wisdom in times of trouble, they bake the most amazing cookies, and have a secret way of making...

Episode 76 - Crimson & Clover - - A Cloverfield Retrospective The Universe, man. It’s a crazy place. A seemingly endless, cold, black vacancy. Unimaginably violent yet fabulously serene. A harsh wasteland where, against seemingly insurmountable odds, small pockets of life flourish, and that life, much like the universe itself, is ever-evolving and growing. Life that has created the automobile, map...

Episode 75 - The Inevitable Return Of The Great White North Canada, eh? A beautiful country, rich in history and culture, and richer still in maple syrup and smiles. Being from Michigan, we are certainly no strangers to the most genial of all US neighbors. Sure they are responsible for Nickelback and Three Days Grace, which in and of itself is worthy of a border wall, but they also gave us Tim Hor...

Episode 74 - When It Comes To Beer, We Lovecraft. Every horror lover knows that you can’t swing Cat Of Ulthar in this business without hitting a Lovecraft fan. The influence of H.P. spreads across the genre like a Crawling Chaos. A Whisperer In Darkness, he calls out From Beyond to his legions of followers and draws them nearer to The Temple of his dark genius. Well, slap my tentacles and call me...

Episode 73 - Getting Down With The Sickness We’ve been having a pretty rough go of it lately, guys. It seems like all three of us have been sick for about two months straight. This cold and flu season has been a real horror show. We’ll admit, it’s gotten so bad that we’ve actually started to wonder if this is really just sickness, or if there is something more sinister at work. Are we cursed? Are...

Episode 72 - Blood Is Thicker Than Lager We’re getting a little bit older over here at The Buzzed Kill Podcast, and as we do, we are becoming more interested in particular things. Lately, we have been pretty fascinated by our own personal bloodlines. Tracing back our lineage we have each found out some pretty amazing things. Justin, for instance, has learned that he comes from Polish royalty, Jim...

Episode 71 - Don't Be A Square - A Cube Retrospective What we’re about to tell you is a universal truth. The powers that be will spend years trying to convince you otherwise, but the simple fact remains that math.... is indeed.... stupid and pointless. I can remember asking the same question time and time again. “When am I ever gonna to need to know this?” “Well, if you want to become a physicist,...

EP70 - When There's No More Beer To Sell, The Drunks Will Walk The Earth The late, great George A. Romero was known as the Godfather Of The Dead, and the Father Of The Zombie Film for a reason. Although he wasn't the first director to take on the subject, he IS responsible for creating the rotting, shambling, flesh-eating fiends that we all know and love so well. Not only that, but he brought subs...

Episode 69 - The Shape Of Drunk To Come 2 We did it!!! Another year gone off the old Calendar, and we’re all still here. Sure, we have a little less hair than we did last year. We might be getting a little soft around the midsection. Maybe our livers aren’t quite working like they used to, but we’re still kicking, and we have just one New Year’s resolution. We will continue to drink copious amount...

Episode 68 - T'was The Last Call Before Christmas ‘Twas the night before Christmas And three Buzzed Kill hunks Had just settled down To get Christmas drunk When what to their beer-goggled eyes should appear A cloak-covered killer bringing vengeance and fear Like a flash they flew upstairs with drunken dramatics But were stopped by the psycho who lived in the attic The hunks turned to run, but the...

EP67 - Do You Wanna Kill A Snowman Winter has officially begun here in Michigan, and that means a couple of things for us. It means harsh, blowing winds, subzero temperatures, shoveling snow on a daily basis, and trading in our shorts and t-shirts for.... slightly longer shorts and heavier t-shirts. Yeah, we deal pretty well with the weather here in the midwest. More so than all of those things, h...

Episode 66 - Attack Of The Killer Kiwis What do you think of when you hear someone say New Zealand? Beautiful, picturesque landscapes? Interesting, diverse cultures? Awesome accents? Epic movies about mythical creatures on quests to defeat evil, and save the earth..... the middle part anyway? Yeah, just like everyone else, we think of those things too, but we also think about one more thing. Amazi...

Episode 65 - Strange By Design 2 Well, after a short break, we're back, and things seem bigger.... crazier.... stranger-er. It feels like our budget is much larger this time, and we have more cg and stuff. Not too much cg, just more. It also feels like somehow we've all grown like a foot taller, and our voices got super deep. Which is weird because we're all grown men. I don't know, whatever. I'm...

EP64 - Let Us Give Dranks: A Thanksgiving Special This year we have so much to be thankful for. Our amazing families, good friends, the people who listen to our show so we can continue to do something that we love so much, and last, but certainly not least, we are thankful for horror movies and beer. Without horror movies and beer, we wouldn't have anything to talk about, and this would all be poi...

EP63 - ReTerrorment Community Man, getting old sounds so awesome. In particular, right around the age of 65, when it's time to retire. You get to move to Florida, wear Tommy Bahama shirts, play games like Bridge and Gin Rummy, and eat dinner at 4pm. It only gets better from there. Did you know once you hit 80, it's totally acceptable to just pee your pants and let someone else deal with it? Maybe...

Episode 62 - Cherish Your Lager - SAW Retrospective PT. 3 This is it. The final chapter of our rebirth. After dozens of grueling tests and countless plot twists, enough blood has been shed for us to emerge as better, albeit much drunker, human beings. This week we wrapped our three-part SAW retrospective with a discussion about SAW 3D: THE FINAL CHAPTER, plus a SPOILER FREE review of the brand new...

Episode 61 - The Night He Stumbled Home Halloween is finally here. The night where kids get way too much free candy, pumpkins get carved, and you spend the night looking over your shoulder for a masked psychopath who wants to stab you to the wall. Isn't this night the greatest? To celebrate the Samhain we asked friends Jon and Jen to come discuss not only John Carpenters eternal classic, but also...

Episode 60 - It's a trap! SAW - Retrospective Pt. 2 Oh boy. It happened again, didn’t it? You guys, we went over this a couple weeks ago. Cherish your life. That’s all you had to do. Cherish your life. Not that hard. Well, what is it this time? Razor wire? Shotgun collar? A pit full of needles? .... it’s what? ...... a pendulum? What’s so bad about that? ..... ohhhh its a giant blade, I see.... Ri...

EP59 - Kill It With Fire! If you're anything like us, you know that fire is that special kind of weapon that you save for the most heinous of foes. Spiders, demons, ex-girlfriends... Martin Shkreli if we ever meet him in real life. However, when it comes to being absolutely bathed in flames, one creature stands out above the rest as the most deserving. Aliens. Not like the cute little grey guys wi...

EP 58 - We Want To Play A Drinking Game - SAW Retrospective Pt. 1 You wake up, chained to a rusty pipe, in a dank room. You wonder to yourself, "What's that awful smell hanging thick in the air?" You shudder at the realization. It's something dead.... rotting. "I'm not the first to end up here, and I don't think I will be the last." Suddenly the voice of your unknown captor presents you with a sim...

Episode 57 - The Buzzed Kill Countdown: Top 10 Jump Scares! hey...... come here........ a little closer...... closer..............cloooooser AAAAAAGGGGGHHH!!!!!!! You're probably wondering why we just made you soil yourself in fear. Well, that's what we in "The Biz" like to call a jump scare. Whether you like them or not, the jump scare is a ubiquitous horror element that, when used properly (and...

EP 56 - The Femalien Invasion This week, we wanted to take a minute to talk about our true appreciation for strong females, and some of the qualities that make them so amazing. Their strength in the face of adversity. Their ability to keep cool in situations that would send most people screaming. Also, their tentacles, and how they like to rip people apart with their tentacles. Oh, and the way the...
