A Podcast on Elm Street

What's up Dream Warriors! We're kicking off 2023 and our season 4 with Japanuary, where we'll be discussing J-horror and thrillers all month long! We're starting it off with Marc's pick of Battle Royale. Not really a horror movie but it does have some serious horror elements to it. This movie strongly influenced The Hunger Games and likely a couple of other movies but none of them did it quite lik...

What's up Dream Warriors! We're coming at you this week with our final episode of season 3, our final episode of December and our final episode of 2022! We're getting snowed in at the Overlook Hotel with the Torrance family in Stanley Kubrick's 1980 horror classic, The Shining! In this episode we discuss the trials and tribulations of creating this movie, the differences between book and film and...

Whats up Dream Warriors! We're coming back with our second Snowed In December episode and Brooke's pick of the month with 2007's 30 Days of Nights! This movie is jam packed with vampire on human violence, badass kills, blood, gore and....snow. Lots and lots of snow! It's been a damn minute since either of us watched this movie so it was a nice trip down Memory Lane for both of us.  Come back next...

What's up Dream Warriors! We're kicking off our Snowed In December with a lesser known Canadian slasher, Curtains! This movie came out some time after Black Christmas did but you can't help but compare the two in a sense because they're both wintery Canadian slashers. Do you think this one lived up to the standards that Black Christmas set? We both agreed this one wasn't exactly great but it did h...

What's up Dream Warriors! We're finally coming at you with the movie that was supposed to kick off our November, The Orphanage! This was a first watch for both of us and it took us entirely way too long to finally sit down to talk about it, but we finally did!  If you've never watched this one, prepare yourself for a rollercoaster of emotions, because we sure as hell weren't! In true Guillermo del...

What's up Dream Warriors! We're back this week with another hit from 2022, seriously this year has been insane for movies! We're going all the way back to 1918, in the midst of World War 1 to discuss Ti West's Pearl! This movie is a prequel to X, which was released earlier this year. It follows a much younger Pearl and gives us an understanding of the elderly woman we see in X. In this episode we...

What's up Dream Warriors! This week we're coming at you with another one of Marc's picks, The Brood from 1979. This movie was directed by the Godfather of Body Horror himself, David Cronenberg and was one of the movies to help skyrocket him into the master that he is today. This movie was featured on Shudder's 101 Scariest Horror Movie Moments and neither of us had seen it, so naturally we had to...

What's up Dream Warriors! Our episode on The Orphanage has been postponed to the end of the month so we went straight to Brooke's pick of the month this week and we were joined by Ben and Nancy from Extreme Horror Replay to discuss the 1982 Spanish cheesefest, Pieces! This was a first watch for Brooke and I but a favourite of Ben's, and Nancy is on the fence with it. We could all agree that this m...

Whats up Dream Warriors! It's the end of October and the end of our October Franchise episodes. To close out the month we're discussing the Final Destination franchise in it's entirety! This franchise was a blast to go through even though a couple of the installments were better left in pre-production. We talked everything from how we think our deaths would go if we were in the movies, our favouri...

What's up Dream Warriors! It's finally October and we couldn't be more excited to bring you these episodes this month. Unfortunately, this month we're only releasing 2 episodes but we came out swinging with them! To kick off our October franchises, we're bringing you a discussion on all 5 movies in the Phantasm franchise. This is a first time watch for us of the whole franchise and we did not expe...

What's up Dream Warriors! So September came and went in a flash, and that can only mean one thing. Our Screamin' September has officially come to a close. We had a great time this month, covering one of the most popular slasher franchises in horror history and we're grateful to have been able to do so with not one, but two awesome guests! This week Josh makes his return and joins us to discuss the...

What's up Dream Warriors! We're back this week to complete our set of Villain Faceoffs with Chuck from Chuck and Ruff Go to the Movies, with our discussion on Scream 4! As always, we had a blast recording this episode and we went off the rails multiple times with discussions about the teaser for the Deadpool/Wolverine movie, our crushes on Hayden Panettiere and randomly, Eric Roberts' ridiculous u...

Whats up Dream Warriors! We're heading back to Woodsbo...err...Hollywood for our third installment of our Screamin' September episode and we're joined by our good friend Chuck from Chuck and Ruff Go to the Movies to discuss Scream 3 from 2000! This is the lowest rated movie in the franchise but we all agree it's still a great time and not a terrible movie, much to the critics' dismay. We also kick...

What's up Dream Warriors! We're picking up where we left off last week and joining Sidney and crew in a new set of horrors and movie references in Scream 2! Josh was supposed to join us this but unfortunately was unable to, but he was still with us in spirit! This episode concludes our first faceoff of the month where we put Scream Ghostface(s) up against Scream 2 Ghostface(s). We weren't surprise...

What's up Dream Warriors! We're coming at you this week and month with a long overdue series that we can't believe has taken us this long to cover. For the whole month of September we will be covering the Scream franchise in it's entirety in what we're hoping will be our biggest month yet.  This franchise is beloved by almost everyone in the horror community, but we couldn't think of a better pers...

What's up Dream Warriors! This week I was joined by Eryka from Horror Cafe Podcast because Brooke is away on vacation and we sat down and talked about the 2019 psychological horror movie, The Lodge! We talked about our introduction to the horror genre, some timeless favourites and Eryka brought some interesting points about the movie that helped make sense of some questions I had. We also shit on...

What's up Dream Warriors! We're coming at you this week with the newest entry into the Predator franchise, the origin story of Predators coming to Earth, the first recorded instance of humankind kicking the advanced warriors' asses...Prey! This movie was jam packed with kick ass fight scenes, one of the coolest looking Predators we've seen to date and some poorly executed animal CGI. Whether you l...

What's up Dream Warriors! We're coming at you this week with Brooke's pick of the month, the South Korean cult classic, Old Boy from 2003. This was a first watch for Marc so come find out if the incestual tones, kick ass fight scenes and brutal dentistry were enough to reel him in or did he think this movie should have the same fate as the 3 octopodes that would have PETA in an uproar? Come back n...

What's up Dream Warriors! We wrapped up the month of July last week so that means it's time kick off another new month with Marc's pick of Random Acts of Violence! This movie was directed by Jay Baruchel, who's a Canadian gem but did we feel the same about his second attempt at directing?  Make sure you come back for our next episode when we take it across the world again with a South Korean insta...

What's up Dream Warriors! This week we're coming at you with the second part of our Villain Faceoff for the month, American Psycho! Neither of us can believe it's taken us this long to talk about this movie but it was worth the wait! We take a deep dive into the theory that none of this actually happened and Brooke talks briefly about the differences between the book and movie. To cap it all off w...

"He's not Freddy. He's not Jason...He's real"   What's up Dream Warriors! We're coming at you this week with our tenth villain faceoff and we decided to keep it simple this month. No supernatural killers. No creatures. No exagerrated beings. Just 2 normal dudes...who happen to like killing people. To kick off the faceoff we're talking about 1986's Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer! This movie is...

What's up Dream Warriors! We were disappointed with level of "scary" in last week's episode so Brooke picked a movie that was sure to scare our pants off...but did he fail the assignment too? Come find out in this week's episode where we talk about 2009's Paranormal Activty! In this episode we both tell the stories of our first viewing of the movie, discuss how much of a dickwad Micah is and try t...

What's up Dream Warriors! We can't believe how fast June flew by but here we are with our first episode of July and Marc's pick of the month, Session 9! Marc picked this movie as a first watch for both hosts because he's heard that it's a genuinely scary movie and APOES hasn't done an actually scary movie in a while. Does this movie live up to the scare hype or were the asbestos ceilings the only...

Whats up Dream Warriors! We've wrapped up the month of June with part 2 of our "Anti-Hero" Faceoff with our discussion on 1994's The Crow! This was another super tight match between Blade and Eric Draven but we did have a victory this time; were we surprised by the outcome or did we expect this victory all along? Who do you think would come out on top if these 2 badasses were to go toe to toe? Joi...

What's up Dream Warriors! We had so much fun with our Prehistoric May we just had to come back with another one! This week we're joined by our great friend and at this point, part-time co-host, Felicia Conner from Two Chicks and A Horror Flick to discuss the newly released Jurassic World: Dominion! Now obviously there's going to be lots of spoilers so if you haven't watched the movie yet you shoul...
