OzTober carries on with Mr. Perkins 2020 witchy hit, Gretel and Hansel. A fresh and intelligent retelling of the Brothers Grimm dark fairytale with a blend of feminine and folk horror It's very reminiscent of Eggers, The Witch, and The Blair Witch Project in its atmospheric tone and special effects that often border on the grotesque. Ween calls a mysterious number and is connected to Wrinkles the...

We begin Spooky Season (officially) with the start of OzTober, where we cover the films of Ozgood Perkins leading up to the release of his new film, Keeper. First up on the docket is 2015's The Blackcoat's Daughter; a story about three almost identical women, some nuns, a closed boarding, school, demon possession, and a pizza place. Rae is extremely angry and offended by EvilBong420 for this weeks...

We are celebrating the genius of Guillermo del Toro and honoring Hispanic Heritage Month with SepTerror del Toro. We close out the month with the gorgeously macabre gothic horror, Crimson Peak (2015). Jessica Chastain's british accent, Mia Wasikowskas american one, and T Hiddes butt - it a feast for the eyes and ears. Ween finds herself in a wormhole vortex of boring with The Poltergeist of Borley...

We are celebrating the genius of Guillermo del Toro and honoring Hispanic Heritage Month with SepTerror del Toro. We're onto the movie that cemented del Toro's place in Hispanic film director history, El Espinazo del Diablo (The Devils Backbone) (2001). We travel back to the Spanish Civil War where we visit a boys orphanage with a dark secret and a ghost or two. Rae boreds her way through 3 Days (...

We are celebrating the genius of Guillermo del Toro and honoring Hispanic Heritage Month with SepTerror del Toro. Next up, Mimic, from 1997, pits giant genetically altered cockroaches with the skill of mimicry against two intrepid entomologists Mira Sorvino and Jeremy Northam. Also co-starring TV's ROC, Charles S. Dutton, Josh Brolin, and Giancarlo Giannini Not even Justin Long can save Ween's vie...

We are celebrating the genius of Guillermo del Toro and honoring Hispanic Heritage Month with SepTerror del Toro. First up is delToro's first feature film, Cronos (1992), where an aging antique dealer discovers and uses a mysterious device that grants him eternal life but also a vampiric thirst for blood, all while being hunted by a dying industrialist who desperately wants the device. Also,...

We finish off with a bang..and a barf. We end Uncle Lloyd Trogust with 2006's splatfest, Poultrygeist. Zombie chickens overtake a fast food restaurant in a weak satire of overconsumption and consumerism. It's saying a lot, but someone bring in the vet, because this horse is ded. Ween is disappointed by the potential of Gangnam Zombie for this weeks Tubi or Not Tubi What We're Watching Seventh Samu...

We've moved onto the real gross out phase of Uncle Lloyd's ouevre with 1999's, Terror Firmer. We again have our new horror heartthrob, Will Keenan, and Lloyd get's meta co-starring as 'Larry Benjamin', a Troma-inspired film director. Get ready for poop, puke, sexual assault, and abortions. Yipes Stripes. Rae possibly sleeps through Subspecies, a horror soap opera, for this weeks Tubi or Not Tubi W...

We're halfway through Uncle Lloyd Trogust..Tromast..Tromust...whatever! We start to veer into WTF territory with 1996's Tromeo and Juliet. For a movie involving incest, molestation, and giant penis monsters, we had a helluva time with this one. And we discovered the joy that is Will Keenan as Tromeo. Ween travels to the Emerald Isle to battle vampires with Let the Wrong One In for this weeks Tubi...

We are moving chronologically through Tromust with 1988's, Troma's War. Tromaville residents resort to guerrilla tactics after crash-landing on a tropical island inhabited by terrorists. Also starring a jingoist baby! Rae enters the world of animation for this weeks Tubi or Not Tubi with To Your Last Death. Up Next: Tromeo and Juliet What We're Watching: Greetings from Tromaville The Dollop Podcas...

We're taking a trip to Tromaville to celebrate, America's favorite Uncle (suck it, Sam) and Troma Pictures Founder, Lloyd Kaufman. We're starting with 1986's Class of Nuke 'em High. The RT plot synopsis is succinct and to the point: Tromaville's honor students are transformed into rampaging freaks when toxic waste leaks into the water supply. That's it. And surprisingly, we liked it! Ween encounte...

We close up Shyamuly! month with the thirstiest offering M. Night has ever brought to screen with Trap (2024). 30,000 concert goers, 3,000 men, 1 serial killer: how will he escape this Thirst Trap. Welcome to the podcast, Josh Hartnett. While absolutely dumb, and everything unravels when a thread is pulled too tight, this movie is just ridiculous enough to be one of the most absurdly enjoyable hor...

We tackle the Bad Movie all star, The Happening (2008). for our second to last entry into our Shyam-uly month! As M. Night Shyamalan's first "R Rated" horror movie, this film is mostly remembered for the laughably terrible dialogue, extremely thin plot, and atrocious CGI. We've enjoyed all these actors in other projects, but this was an amalgam of bad ideas, hubris, and cringeworthy memorable one...

We soldier on through Shyamalan July with a sharp decline in quality from last week. Spoiler alert: it doesn't get better, chat. M. Night attempts to tackle complicated and misunderstood Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) with James McEvoy as a supernatural person with 23 alters and 1 possible train-human hybrid. If you are interested in learning more about DID in depth, please do not use this a...

We start Rae's birthday month with the a deep dive into the oeuvre of M. Night Shymalan with his most prestigious film, The Sixth Sense. M. Night became the youngest and first east indian man nominated for a Best Director Academy Award for this mazing emotional film. Rae and Ween both had very similar experiences while rewatching this film. Rae was NOT OKAY after finishing. Ween pops some party ba...

We close out Craven June! with one of the films Rae has been WAITING to review since the conception of this podcast, My Soul to Take (2010). This is another selection that she insisted they (Ween and Rae) watch it together, and it didn't disappoint. How we go from his deepest and most controversial film to the next week, this absolute dumpster fire. The Riverton Ripper haunts the Riverton 7 on the...

We are midway through Craven June with a review of Wes's most controversial and disturbing movie, Last House on the Left (1972). Trigger warnings abound, listeners. Ween wades her way through the various movies listed as The Naked Witch (1969) for this week's lackluster selection for Tubi or Not Tubi. Up Next: My Soul to Take What We're Watching: Game Grumps Intruder (1989) Where to Find us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

Craven June continues with the 1991 horror comedy, People Under the Stairs. We both came into this movie with very different ideas of what it was about. It IS about a movie about cannibalistic stolen children held captive in a basement who feast on unsuspecting visitors. Rae's energy is tapped out after watching Lifeforce (1985) for this weeks Tubi or Not Tubi Up Next: Last House on the Left What...

Craven June starts with the one movie that Wes hoped would catapult him into the mainstream filmmaking scene. Unfortunately for him, while presenting a movie backed in science, 1988's Serpent and the Rainbow lands squarely in spiritual horror territory. Ween takes a trip to the woods with a bunch of 1970s doctors with Rituals (1977) for this week's Tubi or not Tubi Up Next: People Under the Stairs...

We complete #MiikeMay with his underrated horror about a play within a movie centered around a popular Japanese ghost story. Cinematically gorgeous and ingenious storyline makes this the highlight of our foray into the oeuvre of Takashi Miike. Rae gets screamed at for 90 minutes with this week's Tubi or Not Tubi - The Horror Network Up Next: The Serpent and the Rainbow What We're Watching: In Disp...

Because we didn't have enough "what the hell just happened?" selections for this month, we continue #MiikeMay with Gozu (2003). A tale of two partners, a dead body, and a full adult rebirth. Also, at one point I longed for a 'weekend at Bernies' scenario. Ween heads out to the woods to by the lake with Zombeavers for this weeks Tubi or Not Tubi. Up Next: Over Your Dead Body What We're Watching: We...

We reach the halfway point for Miike May with probably his most well-known film, Audition (1999). A widow sets up a fake audition for a wife; she fits the role to a 'T, T, T". Fellow misophoniacs (people with misophonia) will be outraged by the sounds in this one....wet. mouth. noises. Rae sleeps through the Last Broadcast for this weeks #tubiornottubi Up Next: Gozu What We're Watching: American P...

We celebrate Asian Heritage month by spotlighting prolific Japanese director in the horror genre, Takashi Miike. This year, we are trying to present more diverse offerings. Therefore, we chose the heavy hitter, Takashi Miike, and a month of his most notorious films. First up! 2001's yakuza-themed gore fest, Ichi the Killer, based on the manga by Hideo Yamamoto Ween didn't succumb to Shaky Shivers...

We are closing out #Cronenberg month with Stephen King's The Dead Zone, starring Christopher Walken and America's president, Martin Sheen. While categorized as a horror movie, a case can be made for it being a fantasy-scifi thriller. Rae picks the a great hand a cards when reviewing Tarot Curse (2025) for this weeks Tubi or Not Tubi Up Next: Ichi the Killer What We're Watching ⁠Cuckoo Homestar Run...

Episode 126, or what we've deemed "the movie where sexual consent hadn't been invented yet", where we cover Cronenberg's 1975 sexual body horror, Shivers. We have differing opinions on this one, but we do agree that Gunn's Slither owes a lot to this lesser-known Cronenberg classic.
