The Buzzed Kill Podcast

Episode 130 - Attack of the Killer Combos Before you freak out and start throwing away the contents of your snack cupboard, no we are not talking about the delicious cracker/pretzel treats that are stuffed with pizza flavored cheese product. When we say combos, we mean the unholy union of two or more creatures to create one finely tuned killing machine. You know, like a mix between Tiger and an Ow...

Episode 129 - The Art of the Kill This latest offering from The Buzzed Kill Podcast assembles two of the most immersive installations of horror artwork of the past decade. Each piece controversial in their own way, yet profoundly moving in execution. A haunting aura of existentialism surrounds this heterogeneous ensemble of horror personalities. An analysis of these works by The Buzzed Kill Podcas...

Episode 128 - The Details Are A Little Foggy There's a reason that we use the word 'fog' when we are describing things that aren't quite right. "I don't know, the details are kinda foggy" "I've been away for so long that it's really fogging up my memory" "Man, too many tequila sunrises last night. I woke up in a fog" "Dude we forgot to post our episode for two days. What the Fog is wrong with us?"...

Episode 127 - SNAP! CRACKLE! KILL! Hey guys!!! Jim from The Buzzed Kill Podcast here. I just wanted to jump on here to discuss a topic that is very important to me. Cereal. Breakfast Cereal. I hate it so much. Just thinking about it right now makes me want to take a knife and go stab every single box I can find... then burn down the store. Seriously, just murder every single box of breakfast cerea...

Episode 126 - Should I Stay Or Should I Go? Oof. The Salem Witch Trials, amirite? Not exactly the proudest moment in American history. People would hunt “witches”, and the criteria for what made you a witch was pretty broad. You’re a married woman with no children? WITCH!!! You’re a middle-aged woman? WITCH!!! You're a woman with spoiled milk in your home? WITCH!!! You’re a..... woman? Definitely...

Episode 125 - Over The Hill, Time To Kill Getting old kinda sucks. Getting out of bed is a slow, painful process, our hair is falling out, our doctor says that if we don't stop "cramming our fat faces with pizza rolls and beer" then we're probably "going to die soon", and worst of all, for some reason whenever a group guys in their 30's try to play cops & robbers, someone always calls the real cop...

Episode 124 - Norse Mixology We'll be honest, as fans of the outdoors and beautiful landscapes, any of the Nordic countries seem like they would be a lovely place to go camping or hiking.... or drinking. However, as horror fans, we gotta say, we're a little torn on whether or not it's worth the risk. Sure, here in the States, we've got some creepy stuff going on; haunted hotels, phantom lights in...

Episode 123 - Secret Syncronicities In Cities In Sync With Syncronicities Three years ago we wrote down a list of seemingly random words. Mysterious emails, goblins, paranormal investigators, disappearing medical professionals, mothmen, conspiracies, prophecies, spirit boxes, Kentucky, Canada, Newkirk, taroh cards, abandoned train tunnel, spirit box, 3rd order, ink and black. We didn’t know why we...

Episode 122 - Mike Dies At The End Everybody has that one friend. The friend who, despite all of your desperate pleas, can never tell you about a movie without ruining the ending. However, for some reason, you keep talking to that person about movies. It is a hell of your own making, and you’ve convinced yourself that, because you love that devil so much, you don’t mind the burning. Well, guess wh...

Episode 121 - The Shape of Drunk to Come 3 This is our year, everybody! We just started our brand new careers, with triple the pay that we were making before, we’ve stuck to our resolution to get in shape so well that our six packs are already starting to show, we’ve gained thousands of listeners just in the last couple weeks, and not only did our dog that ran away in high school come home, but we...

Episode 120 - Happy Brewed Beer Another year come and gone. We can hardly believe it. 2018 was a heck of a year. We made a lot of memories, but unfortunately we also forget a lot of it. Which is why this year our New Year's resolution is to quit drinking. We're pretty excited about the idea of living a nice clean life, you know? Well, actually just a quick little amendment to that resolution. We'r...

Episode 119 - One House Open Slay You better watch out You better just chill The kid that you babysit Is killing for thrills And the Buzzed Kill boys are slamming some beers He's grabbing a bat He's hiding a gun He hung your ex-boyfriend Cuz he thought it'd be fun And The Buzzed Kill boys are lining up shots Well, his parents say he sleepwalks But that's just his alibi He's going to get off free a...

Episode 118 - I Know What You Drank Last Summer We're going to start off by just laying our cards on the table here. We have no idea what you did last summer. Hell, we don't even know what we did last summer. That's because in the proverbial 90's teen-ensemble horror flick of life, we're not the cunning killer, watching our prey from the shadows. We're not spending a year plotting our revenge, the...

Episode 117 - The Monsters Inside Me Get ready for a podcast first, folks. This week you will hear something that you have probably never heard before. Roommate Jen is back, and as some of you may know, she is extremely pregnant. On this very special episode, we decided to throw our normal format out and bring you right into the delivery room. Listen as Mike, Jim, and Justin expertly guide Baby Ro...

Episode 116 - Twin Freaks We have always wondered what it would be like to have a twin? Playing pranks on people and trading places would be awesome, plus, you would have a built-in best friend. Then, of course, there's the added bonus of having someone you could easily frame for murder. Whoa... that got dark really quick, but hey, it happens right? This week we decided to focus a little more on t...

Episode 115 - The Twilight Series That Doesn't Suck There is a sixth dimension beyond that which is known to sober men. It is a dimension as vast as a field of barley, and as timeless as Pabst Blue Ribbon. It is the middle ground between light beer and dark beer, between fermentation and intoxication, and it lies between the pit of a man's full bladder, and the summit of his novelty beer hat. This...

Episode 114 - We had an AJA moment! Directors Spotlight: Alexandre Aja An “aha moment” is a point in time, event, or experience when one has a sudden insight or realization. An “Aja moment” is a point in time, event, or experience when one has a knife suddenly dragged across their throat, a masonry saw suddenly pushed slowly through their rib cage, a giant rock suddenly smashed into their skull, o...

Episode 113 - The Buzzed Kill Countdown - Top 10 Twists We’ve been at this for a couple years now. Week after week we watch the horror films that we adore so much. We pore over the details, and take in every nuanced intricacy, then we step into that studio, and the real fun begins. For hours we wax lyrical about the kills, the creatures, the blood and carnage, the actors, directors, and everything...

Episode 112 - Bad Brew: A Second Look at Halloween: Resurrection A resurrection can be a good thing or a bad thing. It really kind of depends on what you’re resurrecting. Your sweet old granny? Good. The bear who killed your granny? Bad. Your beloved pet? Could go either way. We’ve all seen Pet Sematary. Jack the Ripper? Interesting for awhile, but ultimately bad. You get the point. So, this week,...

Episode 111 - Animated & Intoxicated As men in our thirties, there are certain things that society tells us are inappropriate to do. Sure, maybe flaming bags of dog crap on a neighbors doorstep is a young man's game, and perhaps we're a little too old to regularly build blanket forts and have sleepovers, which our girlfriends, wives, and children are not invited to. However, the one thing we will...

Episode 110 - Tree's Company Fall is in full swing once again, and there is no better place to spend our favorite time of year than right here in Michigan. The muggy summer heat gives way to cool, crisp, Autumn air, we take walks with a thermos of hot apple cider (most likely spiked), and we can finally trade in our uncomfortable summer clothes for our killer new Lululemon yoga pants, and Ugg boot...

Episode 109 - Completely Uncaged! Cage / noun Anything that confines or imprisons When Nicolas Kim Coppola decided to take up acting, he thought to himself, “I want my performances to pull people in, and trap them in the moment. I want them to be imprisoned by my virtuosity.” And in a moment of pure brilliance he chose a surname that would let the world know that they would all be held captive in...

Episode 108 - King Of The Castle, Rock Well, here we are. Our month-long Stephen King Birthday Extravaganza is sadly coming to an end. It's been a lot of fun celebrating one of the most prolific names in the world of horror, although we will admit that we are a bit disappointed. A whole month of birthday shoutouts, and Stephen didn't respond to a single tweet, instagram, or Facebook post. Not a si...

Episode 107 - The Numbers Of The Beast Apophenia. It might not be a word you are familiar with, but you may have experienced the phenomenon at some point. It's the tendency to mistakenly perceive connections and meaning between unrelated things. Maybe you notice that whenever it rains, the numbers on your digital clock always seem to add up to the number 11, or maybe you see faces looking back at...

Episode 106 - The King's Chariot Last week we kicked off our Stephen King birthday bash the only way you can, with clowns... and harsh, scrutinizing, ridicule of a bunch of child actors. This week we keep the party rolling right along. Speaking of rolling along, after the clowns, come the presents, and what better birthday gift is there then a brand new car? A beautiful, shiny, fast, spooky.. self...
