Show #40: Catch Up/Friend of the World 22.09.2023

The chaps are back in town! Well, they're back behind their microphones after a lengthy hiatus where they discuss a few movies that were shown at this year's FrightFest, they brainstorm a found-footage serial killer idea, review indie arthouse movie Friend of the World and lay down their plans for the future of the show. There is plenty of laughter and merriment as Chris and Myron hook up...

A little later than planned, the chaps catch up with a few of the latest instalments from horror franchises they have already covered, including the world exclusive first coverage of what Myron thinks of Halloween 2018. Get ready for spoilers, bad language and Chris's attempt at an Irish accent.

Show #38: Fulci's Gates of Hell Trilogy 22.09.2023

The chaps are back after their summer break to have a look at Lucio Fulci's bonkers ' Gates of Hell'  trilogy as well as Chris going off on a rant about David Lynch fandom and Myron compares Fulci to Fleming (sort of). Expect lots of whimsy, rude words and some spoilers.

Show #37: Final Destination Franchise 22.09.2023

The chaps take on Death itself as they take a look at the  Final Destination  franchise thanks to a poll on the Facebook page. Expect lots of silliness, swearing and more than a few spoilers.

Show #36: The Evil Dead Franchise 22.09.2023

The chaps venture into the woods to open the Necronomicon and summon forth the Deadites to possess their souls... but even demons have limits! Yes, the listeners have spoken and the chaps tackle the iconic  The Evil Dead  franchise. Expect spoilers, drivel and coarse language.

Show #35: Rob Zombie's Firefly Trilogy 22.09.2023

Show #28: Romero Zombie Remakes + George A. Romero Tribute 22.09.2023

A celebration tinged with sadness as by the time the chaps got to the third part of their George A. Romero zombie retrospective the great man passed away, so as well as taking a look at the three most notable remakes of Romero's zombie movies Chris and Myron give a little tribute to the legendary filmmaker. Expect the usual bumflufferies such as spoilers, harsh language and an unfortunate audi...
