The Buzzed Kill Podcast

EP 155 - The Mile Die Club Hey guys, Mike is back from his trip to Halloween Horror Nights in L.A. and he has plenty of stories to tell us. Stories about his journeys in California, his trip to Universal Studios to check out all of the awesome HHN mazes, and most importantly, how he finally joined the Mile High Club..... No just kidding. Mike? Naked? In an airplane bathroom? No Thanks. That's more...

EP 154 - What A Buncha Clowns: Chapter 2 Beep Beep! It's nearing the end of September, and you know what that means. In just a couple short weeks, we are going to be able to break out scarves, yoga pants, ugg boots, boyfriend flannels, and pumpkin spiced everything. Believe us when we tell you that Mike in a pair of sassy yoga pants is an absolute dream. However, more importantly, the end of Septe...

EP 153 - Charles In Charge Well, this is it, Jack. Chucky's back for one more round. Wait, make that three. Three more rounds, three more movies to close out our three-part retrospective. That brings Chucky to a grand total of eight films, and there seems to be no end in sight. We think it's fair to say that Chucky is one tough son of a gun. In fact, we've never seen a piece of plastic take this m...

Episode 152 - An Ewok Mis-Adventure (GALAXY OF BEEROES Crossover) A short time ago, in a galaxy that we are currently in, a podcast event the likes of which have never been seen took place. After several thousand minutes of correspondence the schedules of five dudes who host two separate podcasts on opposite ends of the greater southeastern suburbs of Detroit came into proper alignment, to form on...

Episode 151 - 3 Years in the Abyss Did you know that if you starting walking 3.1 mph for 8 hours per day, you could walk around the entire world in about 3 years? How about this? Did you know that if you took a trip to Mars, it would only take about 6 months, but because the Earth and Mars are only that close every two years, you’d had to wait to make your 6 month return trip, making the trip a to...

Episode 150 - In Stitches: A Child’s Play Retrospective Pt. 2 You can’t keep a Good Guy down, or so they say. Chucky’s back, and he wants to play. I didn’t mean to make that rhyme, but I’ve come too far to change my mind. Tiff brings Chucky back to life. A doll, a kill, a chant, a wife. Soon thereafter on their way, to exhume the corpse of Charles Lee Ray. Quick pit stop at cheap motel. Dolls get...

Episode 149 - Strange By Design 3: Bigger. Better. Stranger. Thinger. Remember the days when kids would put on their most radical threads, throw some mousse in their new do, hop into their dad’s Fiero, and cruise to the mall to hang with their friends? All day long, man, just scanning the place for cute babes, hittin’ up the food court for a Hot Dog on a Stick and an Orange Julius, fightin’ commie...

Episode 148 - Bad Luck Chuck - A Child's Play Retrospective Pt. 1 We all have that one friend. You know, that friend you'll have till the end. That one really good guy that never lets you down, even if he is a criminal who transfers his soul into a doll by conjuring Damballa. Unfortunately Chucky isn't that good guy. Well he is, but you know, a BAD good guy...are you still following? Good. This we...

Episode 147 - The Price Is Right: Actor Spotlight on Vincent Price The 60's gave us a lot of life altering things. Lava lamps, bell bottoms, and banana seat bicycles all literally changed the way we lived our lives. However for those who weren't into tie dye and the twist, the 60's also gave us some darker delights such as the Ouija boards. But most importantly, this was the decade that gifted hor...

Episode 146 - Tuned To Drop D(ead) As musicians ourselves, we know what it is like to strive for perfection. We’ve done the all-nighters with six sweaty dudes locked in a room, plugging away at the same song over and over until our fingers feel like they are going to fall off. Beer cans stacked to the ceiling and Taco Bell wrappers littering the floor. Ok, maybe we weren’t striving for perfection...

Episode 145: BAD BREW Piranha II: The Spawning Piranhas are any of several small South American freshwater fishes that eat other fish and sometimes plants, but occasionally also attack humans and other large animals that enter the water. Piranha 2: The Spawning is an American film, shot in Italy and Jamaica by a Canadian, with a cast of actors who look suspiciously like other actors, that tells th...

Episode 144 - A Hole Lot Of Trouble Most adults see a hole in the ground and think to themselves “Hmm, there’s a hole in the ground.” Then they go back to thinking about whatever normal, boring people think about, like the incredible deal they got on a new Chambray shirt at Lands’ End, or how excited they are to discuss the 20% Saver’s Tax Credit on their Roth IRA, at their monthly couples game ni...

EP 143 - Boar'd To Death If you’re not a pig person, this episode is going to be extremely... boaring. Haha, sorry that was just our ham-fisted attempt at being funny. You won’t actually be boar’d, because the beauty of this show is that you can still go about your daily business while listening. You can listen while you’re bacon a cake. You can listen in the porking lot while you’re waiting for y...

Episode 142 - Stay For The Pay How much would it take for you to stay in a haunted house for the night? $1000 and a six-pack of utility beer? What if the house had a very dark past, and the spirits inside were extremely restless? $10,000 and a case wine, perhaps? What if the house itself was literally alive, and could pretty much kill you whenever it was done playing sick tricks on your mind? $1,0...

Episode 141 - A Buzzed Kill Countdown - Top 10 Aliens We are back in full-force this week. J-Rog has returned from the beautiful Hawaiian Islands an honest man, we are back home at Ocean Recording Studio, and everything is right in the world. In fact, everything is almost a little TOO right in the world. It's got us feeling a little uneasy. Being horror fans, we like to find a comfortable balance...

Episode 140 - A Very Pacific Way To Die It's our second week without our sound architect, J-Rog, the producer extraordinaire. He is currently enjoying his second week in paradise with his beautiful new bride. Of course that sounds like a lovely time, but you guys should know by now that... well we worry sometimes. Call it byproduct of being horror fans, but our minds tend to go to the places that...

EP 139 - Revengers: Deadgame There seems to be a big focus on avenging these days. Avenging, to avenge, possibly carried out by an avenger of some sort. We’re not sure why everyone has this word on their lips, apparently some sort of huge cultural phenomenon or something, but all this talk has us thinking about the word Avenge and its more gritty cousin. REVENGE! They are somewhat interchangeable,...

Episode 138 - Till Death Do Us, Party! ...To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part. That’s kinda nice. Except for that whole “for better, for worse” part. What’s that all about? As horror fans our minds can go to some pretty dark places. Exactly how “worse” are we talking here...

Episode 137 - Going Full Wood It's our second, and final, week without our buddy Mike on the show, and we are really starting to feel the hurt without him here. We miss his musk. We miss his laughter, and the way that he always laughs at his own jokes. We miss the way he always ruins his jokes that actually land, by explaining them immediately after. God help us, we even miss his beautiful, stupid...

Episode 136 - Sip/Tuck Our good buddy Mike is off this week, and in full recovery mode. After years of dealing with an issue that has really affected his ability to live life to the fullest, he went under the knife to get it corrected. We were all pretty nervous about it, and wondered at times if it was something he really wanted to do. Just last week we said to him, "Listen man, it doesn't really...

Episode 135 - Dying Of Laughter Laughter is indeed the best medicine. When the chips are down, and the deck seems stacked against you, sometimes all you need is a good laugh. Your boss is being a jerk? Laugh it off. You get a speeding ticket? Laugh it off. An immortal being drains the life out of you through a hole in your neck? Chin up, pal! Torn to shreds by a pack of werewolves? Brush it off, a...

Episode 134 - Horror Of Biblical Proportions Life gets pretty hard, and things can seem pretty hopeless at times. If you’re a religious person, there is always one place you can turn in your time of need. Whether it be by picking up the Good Book, spending some quiet time praying, or perhaps indulging in a glass (or seven) of the sacrament, you can always turn to God. But what do you do when it se...

Episode 133 - Now You're A Man, A Mer Mer Man! “Moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence...... of TERROR!” That’s not how that goes, but when you have an opportunity to lift a Zoolander line, you just make it work. Listen, we are simple men. Not very hard to please. We love and appreciate the beauty of all women, but we have to draw the line somewhere. We’re honestly not tryi...

Episode 132: To-be Or Not To-be Directors Spotlight: Tobe Hooper With a career spanning nearly five decades, Tobe Hooper definitely carved out a spot for himself in the annals of horror history. Whether he was introducing the world to a classic horror icon like Leatherface, propelling the careers of genre legends like Robert Englund, or working alongside industry giants like Steven Spielberg, Hoop...

Episode 131 - The Dark Brew-niverse The classic Universal monsters. Dracula, The Mummy, The Wolfman, Frankenstein's Monster, The Gillman, The Bride of Frankenstein. If you mention any of these names to a horror fan, they conjure up amazing memories of classic moments in horror cinema history. The dark, tragic, romantic, Gothic, sometimes sexy, and always horrifying imagery of those films has stood...
