We're halfway through our Cronenberg month with this week's selection of infamously head-bursting Scanners (1981). Scanners Kim and Cameron battle a group of underground telepathic militia led by Revok, played by Hollywood staple Michael Ironside. We also discuss this movie's statement on the real-life scandal of congenital disabilities brought on by the usage of thalidomide for the se...

This weeks selection was a milder of the Cronenberg body horror classics, with The Brood (1979). We learn what happens when you let rage build up in your body without an outlet - a weird sac attaches to your stomach producing anger babies hell-bent on destruction. Ween escapes to Elviras Haunted Hills for this weeks Tubi or Not Tubi Up Next: Scanners What We're Watching Naked Lunch The Birthda...

Like a bloated stomach containing a giant maggot, we are starting our extended April with the films of David Cronenberg. First on the docket is the 1987 masterpiece, The Fly. Geena and Jeff got mad chemistry and matching hairdos. Also discussed: who's giving Brundle more baboons, flooding and tearing, and the magnificence of movie music composers? Rae is okay being late for "The Church" for this w...

We end Female Horror Directors Month with Jennifer Kent's emotionally and tragically beautiful The Nightingale. This is a one-and-done for both ladies. It's a tough watch, and there's not a mental state that will prepare you for this. If you are watching along, trigger warnings: child murder, brutal sexual assault, and horrific racism. Ween wades into Night Tide for this weeks Tubi or...

We are onto our 3rd week of Female Horror Directors month, with Kathryn Bigelow's vampire-centric Near Dark (1987), starring a young Adrian Pasdar and Bill Paxton. We apologize that Ween's sound isn't the best for the last 30 minutes; we weren't recording in person this week. Rae looks in a spooky mirror with Amityville: A New Beginning for #TubiorNotTubi Up Next: The Nightingale W...

With our fingers crossed for an Oscar win, we celebrated our love of Coralie Fargeat, with 2017's Revenge. If you are listening this in the now times, you know that we are disappointed. We can see how the Substance is her follow-up feminist horror movie. Rae's notes were full of "dis bich". Ween laughs through the abysmal "The Wind Walkers" for this week's Tubi or N...

We are starting off Female Horror Directors Month with Jackie Kongs, splatstick masterpice, Blood Diner (1987). Funnier than Troma, with a more satirical bite, this is a 10/10 recommend from us. Rae "irish's" she never watched Invoked (2015) for this weeks Tubi or Not Tubi Up Next: Revenge (2017) What We're Watching Hot Fuzz Silent Night (2012) #horror #horrormovies #horrormovier...

We close out Vladentines Day Month with Robert Eggers visually arresting remake, Nosferatu (2024). Everyone is hitting out of the park in this gorgeous new release from Focus Films, in particular, shout out to Lily-Rose Depp, who is literally chewing scenery every time she's on screen. Ween takes on the soap opera in space that is Dead Space for Tubi or Not Tubi Up Next: Revenge (2017) What We...

We enter the 21st century with another Dracula retelling for the third week of Vladentines Month, Shadow of the Vampire (2000). Based on the urban legend of the actor Max Shrecks iconic turn as the bloodthirsty Count Orlock played with absolute perfection by Willem Defoe. Also discussed: Visiting The Akron Haunted Schoolhouse for Cupid's Revenge. Rae unfortunately escapes to The Woods (2022) for t...

Of all of Vladentines Month's, this week's selection is the most romantic. We discuss bad wigs, even worse accents, and some of the most memorable romantic dialogue in Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula (1992). Ween is sent to the principal's office with this week's Tubi or Not Tubi, Deadly Detention (2017). Up Next: Shadow of the Vampire (2000) What We're Watching Will and Har...

We enter the second month of our year of directors with...vampire movies? Yes, it's the month of love and sex, so why not pay homage to the OG heartbreaker, Vlad Dracul. We begin with Tod Browning's 1931 Dracula, starring the hunky Hungarian Bela Lugosi. Rae reviews The Pizzagate Massacre for Tubi or Not Tubi Up Next: Bram Stoker's Dracuila What We're Watching Stolen Youth Horror o...

Watch out, listeners or Su-Satan will squirt Ecto Cooler directly into your mouth! We struggle through our last selection for Carpentuary, Prince of Darkness (1987). With an absolutely convoluted plot, Alice Cooper shivving people with a bike, and a space alien demon antichrist erupting from hell, this movie is a journey. Ween covers Straight Edged Keggers for Tubi or Not Tubi Up Next: Dracula (19...

We continue with John Carpenter month - Carpenuary - with the 1980's, The Fog. We both enjoyed the heck out of this goofy supernatural starring Tom Atkins, Adrienne Barbeau, Janet Leigh, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Hal Holbrook. Also, is it in TA's contract to be a crippling alcoholic with a penchant for road sodas in every movie? Rae covers Twinsanity for this weeks Tubi or Not Tubi Up Next: Pr...

Carpenter January! Carptenry! This week, we WRESTLE Carpenter's 1988 They Live, starring Rowdy Roddy Piper and Keith David. This classic is known for its one-liners, 6.5 minute fight scene, and iconic messages. Ween covers Blood Clots for Tubi or Not Tubi this week! Up Next: The Fog What We're Watching: ⁠ Last Week Tonight with John Oliver - WWE Iron Claw Where to Find us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

We've started our year of directors, with..drum roll...John Carpenter. For the selections of films of Carpenter we will be showcasing, we begin with the masterpiece, The Thing. With an amazing cast and a parlor-like mystery, this film will keep you guessing with its perfectly ambiguously ending. Rae covers Man Thing for Tubi or Not Tubi this week! Up Next: They Live What We're Watching: Street Tra...

We finish up the 2024 holiday season with the absolutely hysterical, Santas Slay (2005) with Bill Goldberg. It's an absolute delightful 80 minute splatstick bad santa tale which also stars Robert Culp, Fran Drescher, Chris Kattan, and James Caan! Ween covers Saturday the 14th for Tubi or Not Tubi this week! Up Next: The Thing! What We're Watching: Heather Allen Esthetics Tales Beneath The Winter S...

We end the franchise on a high note with Martin Kritosser's Silent Night Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker, with screen legend Mickey Rooney as the titular toy maker. Just as horny as the other entries in this series and back to form with the goofiness. Rae reviews Stuart Gordon's 1991 Dagon for Tubi or Not Tubi Up Next: Santas Slay (with Goldberg!) What We're Watching: We are both addicted to Game Gr...

The celebration of the season continues with the movie in which Rae continually forgets that it was supposed to be set at Christmas. Have you ever wanted to see Clint Howard have sex? Well, if that's a yes, there's Brian Yuzna's 1990 offering, Silent Night, Deadly Night 4: Initiation. With special effects by Screaming Mad George, this is an absolute baffling watch. Ween reviews Banshee Chapter for...

Remember how happy we were last week? Our emotions have taken a nose dive with Monte Hellman's Silent Night Deadly Night: Better Watch Out! (1989). Between weird incestual undertones to an orange juice-filled brain case, only one-third of the cast was in on the joke. Ween reviews Banshee Chapter for this weeks #tubiornottubi Up Next: Silent Night, Deadly Night: Initiation What We're Watching: Hart...

It's a two-fer this week! Because Silent Night Deadly Night 2 is mostly scenes from the 1st movie, we decided to combine the two into one larger episode. Never has there been a more exciting GARBAGE DAY. Ween reviews #DrGiggles for #TubiornotTubi for this week What We're Watching: University Circle - Holiday in the Circle Aqua Teen Hunger Force Up Next: Silent Night, Deadly Night 3: Better Watch O...

We finally finished the NOES franchise with Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994). Rae was recovering from surgery, a little high, and a little drunk, so she barely remembers the plot - Ween does a fantastic job trying to piece the plot together. We discuss why NOES is a fan favorite, its cultural importance, and the series' ranking. Rae reviewed Polonia Films, Robowars (Robot Wars), for #TubiornotTub...

We are so close to the end, Friends. At this point, the franchise has completely gone off the rails, and no one has control over Robert Englund. With cameos from Roseanne Barr and Tom Arnold, Freddy's Dead - The Final Nightmare (1991) nightmare pile in a sadness bowl (IYKYK). Ween reviews Dollman vs Demonic Toys for this weeks #TubiornotTubi Up Next: New Nightmare What we're listening to: Noble Bl...

We are nearing the end of our NOES retrospective with the last of our 'original' Elm Street kids connection for Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child. The story is a mess, but the artistic design is excellent. Rae actually has nice things to say this week! Rae also reviews Killjoy (2000) for this weeks #TubiornotTubi Up Next: Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare What We're Watching: MaXXXine Wh...

Two very exciting events are happening this week: THE UNITED STATES ELECTION AND WE ARE FREAKING OUT...oh, and we celebrated our 3rd anniversary. For our anniversary, we usually review a movie that's close to us, and we chose Kevin Smith's almost unattainable (or so we thought) dramatic horror, Red State. We also wrap up with our year-end superlatives and rank the franchises we've ever covered. Wh...

We're halfway done! This week, we cover the 4th installment in the Nightmare on Elm Street, Dream Master, directed by Renny Harlin. This movie is an awful mess, but, much to Rae's dismay, the top-billed Robert Englund takes Freddy out for a 'comedic stroll.' Can you hear Rae's eye roll from there? Up Next: Our 3rd Anniversary! What We're Watching: ⁠Never Sleep Again⁠ ⁠Ouija: Origin of Evil⁠ Where...
