2 Guys And A Chainsaw - A Horror Movie Review Podcast

Back in August, we lost James Caan. As Craig stated, at that time we became "contractually obligated" to review Stephen King's Misery, starring both veteran Caan and a fresh-to-the-scene Kathy Bates. Sooo many wonderful things to say about this movie that we let it run a little longer than usual. Hope you enjoy!

This may be our freshest episode yet: This movie was released this very month on NBC's Peacock network. Also, FYI, it's pronounced, "They Slash Them". Cute, eh?

A modern take on the Frankenstein story with the darkest of comedy, this campy classic of the horror canon stands up remarkably well today.

Looking for a "so bad it's good" movie? This obscure 80's flick - which is streaming on Tubi at this moment - is an absolute gem.

Going along with the early 80's trend of event-themed horror movies - Prom Night, Fall Break, Black Christmas, Happy Birthday To You, April Fool's Day, Graduation Day, New Year's Evil and the like. Enjoy the last of our series of 1981 slashers this month!

Tom Savini says he is most proud of his special effects work in this week's film. We've been wanting to check this one out for a long time, so enjoy our discussion of our third slasher film from 1981 this month.

Silliness abounds, but we do have some interesting ideas and some gorgeous sets and costumes to look at in this second in our m

We start off the series with a film that is often touted as "one of the long forgotten slashers of the 80's". Is it? Let's dive deep and find out what happens when these kids camp in the woods in the midst of a bunch of backwater yokels.

Although he had a memorable turn as one of Hannibal Lector's victims, we thought he got much more screen-time in the twisty 2003 thriller, Identity. Having not seen this one for a while, we were happy to discover that this remains a fun, tight (not to mention star-studded) spectacle today. R.I.P Ray Liotta, and thanks for the years of pleasure you've brought us.

This part is much more action-packed than the first, though...well, it's still a TV movie. Enjoy!

Based on Stephen King's novel of the same name (only his second novel) and of course the second film created based on one of his works since Carrie, it's also his only vampire novel to-date. They got Toby Hooper to direct it, fresh off of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. There's a lot to unpack and discuss here, and we had a joy doing it.

After the controversy and success of The Last House on the Left, Wes Craven really wasn't interested in being pigeonholed as a horror director. However, with the funds running low and a couple of false starts, he caved and partnered with producer Peter Locke to create this masterpiece of cinema which, surprisingly, still holds up today in many ways.

Get ready for a ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat and guessing the entire time. We really enjoyed discussing Frailty. Have a listen!

Looking for some old-school horror with a healthy dose of laugh-out-loud comedy? This over-the-top gorefest kicked off a successful - and controversial - horror franchise that we are dipping into for the first time on this show. We had lots of fun talking about Hatchet this week!

How do you feel about ridiculous looking monster makeup? This week's film was a longstanding request, and one of Clive Barker's very first films. He was less than impressed. In fact, the results led him to decide that he needed much more creative control over his next movie (Hellraiser). Loads of fun to talk about!

The House of the Devil is a mixed bag, but it does perfectly mimic the style and genre.

In honor of the day we honor mothers everywhere, today we take a look at a Guillermo Del Toro-produced film about two girls who are torn between two mothers - and one is not exactly human.

A new take on the "terrorists on an airplane" genre brings in a horror twist that adds a lot of depth, intrigue, and loads of action to this excellent movie. We both loved it!

This marks the second pairing of the dynamic duo of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, which lasted through dozens of films and left an indelible mark on horror history. Was this your first introduction to Dracula?

We really love our tribute episodes. Not only do they allow us the chance to reflect on an actor or filmmaker's life and work, but also because they often send us to some more obscure stuff that we might never have chosen on our own. We might have had a little TOO much fun with this one, as it got Todd into some real-life trouble of his own. Apparently recording our podcast is more hazardous than...

Do us a favor and have a quick listen to why and how we're launching this Patreon page.

If that's not enough to send you to the streaming services, how about if we told you that it was indeed shot entirely underwater, with 100% practical effects? We really enjoyed this French flick that managed to wring some novelty out of a well-worn genre.

We skipped over the more obvious Rocky Horror Picture Show for the less obvious but promising Stage Fright. This brutal 2014 horror-comedy-musical - only the second horror-comedy-musical we've reviewed on this show - didn't quite float our boats, but it gave us a perfect vehicle for revisiting the career of this unparalleled talent.

ever-ending quest to attach a horror movie to every holiday each year, we unearthed this 2001 slasher featuring an all-star cast of the hottest onscreen beauties of the day in another slick post-Scream whodunit. Be careful whose attention you spurn on this day of love!

Lake Placid may not be the best movie in the world, but actually it's not too bad, and we're lucky that it happens to include one of the incomparable Betty White's most memorable performances on the silver screen. Enjoy our tribute episode to the world's favorite golden girl.
