BLOOD AND POPCORN

Send us Fan Mail SCREAM 7 didn't just open, it opened big and delivered the boycotters an embarrassing loss.  Sydney Prescott is the penultimate Final Girl.  Things end badly otherwise they wouldn't end, The Last Drive In is no exception to that rule.  #SCREAM7 #THELASTDRIVEIN On X: @BloodPopcornPod

Send us Fan Mail Talking #SCREAM7. Unfortunately you can't talk about it without talking about the "controversy", so we touch on that. Also, horror gatekeepers need to settle down and stop looking silly. The only metric anyone needs to meet to be a horror fan is liking some kind of horror. That's it.  On X: @BloodPopcornPod

Send us Fan Mail There have been a lot of horror films released in 2025, especially this summer. Let's dive into the numbers and see what messages audiences were sending to Hollywood.  On X: @BloodPopcornPod

Send us Fan Mail Even in light of FINAL DESTINATION: BLOOD LINES and SINNERS tearing up the box office, the consensus seems to be that horror is at an over saturation point and the party is over. While I agree there are warning signs, the party ain't ending tomorrow, the next day, or next week. We have a lot of runway left and I have advice for the prod cos on how to extend it.  Also, I list...

Send us Fan Mail While it looked like Demi Moore was cleaning up in Awards Season, a late darling pretty much swept the Oscars. Doesn't matter much in the long run. Demi is great and the Oscars are just a PR campaign for the industry. I'll walk you through it. Also, maybe it's time for the Oscars to fade into history. The desperate attempts to remain relevant in an era where Awards...

Send us Fan Mail Closing out what was personally a rough year, but for the horror genre it was one of the best ever, and 2025 looks to be just as good. Industry contraction has finally found it's bottom, they finally know what streaming actually is, and production is about to ramp up. Buckle up. On X: @BloodPopcornPod

Send us Fan Mail Terrifier 3 and Smile 2 ruled the box office on their opening weekends, leaving some big budget fare in the dust. The Hollywood Reporter things the horror market is over saturated, we prove that claim wrong. And we finally have our second wine tasting. Ghost Pines 2019 Red Blend. Is it good for your Thanksgiving table? On X: @BloodPopcornPod

Send us Fan Mail Back from a surreal, emotional summer. But, I came through it understanding far more about myself, and why film gets so personal for some of us.  There is an alleged Crystal Lake update.  Terrifier 3 opens and can do something hilarious and important. Robert Englund makes it official.  And there's drama at the drive-in.   On X: @BloodPopcornPod

Send us Fan Mail I took a hiatus to deal with my father's passing. But it's time to get back to work.  Talking how Roger Corman and Al Ruddy's passing is also the passing of an important era in Hollywood's history. Also taking Crystal Lake, My Bloody Valentine, and ignore the doomsayers, the box office is just fine. Hollywood just needs to make better choices.  On X: @BloodPopc...

Send us Fan Mail Lot of new horror releases to talk about, and there sure are a lot of people who want to declare movie theaters and horror dead. Ever wonder why?  On X: @BloodPopcornPod

Send us Fan Mail Back from vacation. Mexico was great. Can't wait to go back. SCREAM 7 unfolds exactly the way I said it would, two film remakes are coming that might be good, WOLFMAN gets delayed (but don't worry), and I blow up the attempt to boycott LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL by using their own argument.  On X: @BloodPopcornPod

Send us Fan Mail A quick tour of horror news, and tackling some of the responses to TRUE DETECTIVE Season 4.  Spoilers.  And I kind of get worked up and say "fuck" a few times.  You have been warned.  On X: @BloodPopcornPod

Send us Fan Mail SCREAM 7 continues to make news.  Christopher Landon opts in. David Gordon Green opts out. EXORCIST: BELIEVER thoughts. The war on physical media has begun. But we have wine.  On X: @BloodPopcornPod

Send us Fan Mail The Last Drive In Season Five Premiere threw us a curve ball and it was delightful!  SCREAM VI drops on VOD and Paramount+. The Horror Is Hot trend continues as EVIL DEAD RISE crushes it at the box office. The POPE'S EXORCIST is getting a buddy.  The Horror Tent has no room for toxic jerks who attack people for not liking a movie. *Disclosure: I own Paramount Stock. On X: @Bl...

Send us Fan Mail So glad to be back recording after being away working my tail to the bone! Breaking News! Horror is hot! Yes, you and I know it, but now everyone else knows it. They want you back in theaters as the streaming bubble bursts.  Let's break it down.  On X: @BloodPopcornPod

Send us Fan Mail The horror "purists" were out bashing PG-13 horror again, so let's talk about it. Also, filmmakers are not special. That should get me in some trouble, yeah? On X: @BloodPopcornPod

Send us Fan Mail Taking at look at the current horror landscape, which looks lush with fresh, original content; including A WOUNDED FAWN, hitting Shudder and VOD on December 1st. We talk with lead actress Sarah Lind.  NOTE: Discovered we had a little audio interference here and there we did not detect during the recording. Apologies!  On X: @BloodPopcornPod

Send us Fan Mail HALLOWEEN ENDS is more controversial than HALLOWEEN KILLS. Jack from The Good, The Pod & The Ugly rejoins as we take a look ad ENDS and the David Gordon Green trilogy as a whole now that Michael Meyers has been put to rest.  On X: @BloodPopcornPod

Send us Fan Mail This year we got two reboots/sequels to two "tired" IPs, with very different results. What are they? Tune in to find out! On X: @BloodPopcornPod

Send us Fan Mail Seems like there are new horror titles popping up on the various streaming services almost every day, but you've been burned so many times before by picking a dud you'd rather pick something tried and true like SCREAM or DAWN OF THE DEAD for the 100th time.  But, still, you miss the days of discovering a new favorite. I give you a few titles I think will be worth your pr...

Send us Fan Mail After taking a forced break between episodes due to circumstances mostly beyond my control, this topic has been on my mind. Glad to be back! On X: @BloodPopcornPod

Send us Fan Mail After a two year hiatus, Monsterpalooza returns to Pasadena, California and Eleanor and I live to tell the tale! Pssst! This is also Eleanor's homework assignment for high school finals. So be on good behavior, y'all! On X: @BloodPopcornPod

Send us Fan Mail Now that the "controversy" and emotions over this film has died down, let's actually look at the film and its themes. Warning: This is adult swim time. Grown up conversations ensue.  On X: @BloodPopcornPod

Send us Fan Mail A look at my one of my favorite genres which is due for a comeback.  On X: @BloodPopcornPod

Send us Fan Mail Fall is my favorite time of year, but I do love me some Christmas Horror! Taking a little deeper look at two of my favorites. SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT and CHRISTMAS EVIL.  On X: @BloodPopcornPod
