Adventures in Movies!

We start the show with a look at some upcoming genre fare. (Yes, we know Wednesday is coming out.) We discuss an intense road trip movie about cannibals and growing up, whether you need to watch Nope , and the odd release schedule for the next Knives Out movie. Plus, some of the strangest sequels you have never heard of. Our first movie is probably the most gross we have talked about this year. Al...

We have had some fantastic guests on the show in recent months, but none have been like Paul Gandersman and Peter Hall. For the first time, we have a pair of authors on the show. The Dead Friends Society  is about a group of college friends who are murdered one night. Their spirits are trapped in the house they were murdered, but this turns out to be the least of their problems. With the possible...

October may be over, but that does not mean there is no more horror news. Friday the 13th is one of the most well known horror franchises of all time. The news of a prequel for the series was met with excitement, but we talk about some worries we have. This is not the case with the photo for Evil Dead Rise . We talk about the new movie and the history of the series. And we talk about the latest mo...

We start this week's show with a talk about The Conjuring 4 . At least that was the plan. Instead, we try to remember which movies were a part of the Conjuring universe and which case was really the Warrens' biggest. We also talk about the connection between a DCEU movie. Genre of the Future returns and we talk about some of the most exciting gerne films of the year. We also go over another exorci...

They decide to take a trip through the Paris catacombs. What is an exciting idea on the surface turns into their worst nightmares. Unsurprisingly, there are lots of tight moments that give a feeling o...

We start the show with talk of the Naked Gun movies and Police Squad . Leslie Nielsen made the role of Frank Drebin his own. Liam Neeson is a great actor, but can he step into the shoes of the iconic character? And what does any of this have to do with The Simpsons ? Blake and Regina had a great idea few weeks ago to talk about upcoming genre movies. It is was a great idea and, frankly, is somethi...

We do not spend enough time looking at what is coming up. We talk about news here and there, but an actual deep dive into upcoming genre films rarely comes up. This week, we do just that. We discuss the movies we are looking forward to, werewolves, and what it takes to scream like a Goonie. The first movie we discuss is a classic of the genre. Dario Argento's Suspira is one of the most important m...

This weekend the movie will be playing at The Shawna Shea Memorial Film Festival, The Arizona Underground Film Festival, and the Philadelphia Unnamed Film Festival. The film is about four...

When we covered X earlier this year, it never crossed our minds that it would be the first part of a trilogy. With Pearl around the corner and the announcement of MaXXXine, Ti West has at least three movies ready to go. We wonder how they are all connected and how far the story can actually go. It is about time for a new horror franchise, but can the X universe adequately fill that void? We here a...

There is so much movie news this week! We start with a talk about the reveal of the new Pinhead. The photo was released literally the day after we recorded last week's show which so we are very late to the party. That does not mean we do not have anything to say. We also talk about a surprising sequel from Kevin Smith. But the big news surrounds Don't Worry Darling . This has been on our radar sin...

We start this week's show with talk about some of the most iconic names in horror. Dario Argento has made some of the most influential movies in the genre.

We talk about some of our favorite scenes from the Italian horror maestro. We thou...

Hulu has had a good year in regards to genre films. Fresh impressed many critics and audiences while Prey breathed new life into the Predator franchise. Can it do the same for Hellraiser ?

Naturally, with a list like this there are surprises. Comi...

Ariel and Candance from Not Your Final Girl are back to talk two movies that had us feeling all sorts of emotions. From a grounded film about two siblings dealing with a demon from their past to an infamous Category III Hong Kong movie that was equal parts disgusting and silly, we were all over the place. But did we like what we saw? Ariel and Candance from Not Your Final Girl are back to discuss...

Last week, Regina suggested we talk about the then upcoming Prey to start the show. At the time, it did not feel it would be worth our time. This week we open the show by talking about... Prey . We discuss where it stands in the Predator franchise and how it handled the iconic alien. We also talk about some Shudder releases for August and take the opportunity to talk about The Cursed . Dawn Breaks...

The Fantasia Film Festival is back and it is its usual rundown of Asian cinema, creative genre flicks, and head turning indie films.

You can't have a "Worst of" list without having a "Best of". (Technically you can, but how can you define something as the "worst" if you have not set the bar for the "best"?) The year is half over and we discuss the movies that have left the biggest impact on us. We talk about the best ending of the year, the best end credits scene EVER, and some awful title changes. Plus, Brad Pitt and a surpris...

With half the year gone, we decided it was time to reflect. We have covered a lot of movies during the first six months and we talk about our least favorites. A “topical” documentary, a much beloved horror franchise, and a Romanian animated sci-fi flick “top” our list. We start the show with talk about the Amarillo werewolf, chupacabra, or whatever the hell it was. Two of us have a pretty clear id...

***SPOILER WARNING! AS WITH ALL SPECIAL EDITIONS, WE WILL DISCUSS EVERY DISGUTING DETAIL OF THE MOVIE*** The announcement that David Cronenberg was returning to science-fiction body horror was met with a mix of excitement and trepidation. There is no doubting that he is one of the most influential directors of all time. His influence can be found in a number of movies. Still, it has been a while s...

A horror movie starring Winnie the Pooh seems more like a joke than anything else. We talk about the trailer that does little to take away from the feeling. We also talk about Top Gun and the importance middle aged Americans played in its success. And it is impossible not to talk about the amazing Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial. We lay it all out here and reveal what sad people we truly are. Come t...
