Chewing the Scenery Horror Movie Podcast

Episode 219 is about 1974’s “Phantom of the Paradise”. This isn’t your average Phantom movie. In fact, it’s not your average rock opera movie either. It’s something else entirely. What exactly that is, we are not able to determine. But it does get really crazy and Brian De Palma directed it! Find us on Instagram, where we are @chewingthescenery or easily find us on Facebook.

Episode 218 is like a walk in the park. That is, if that park is full of robot twins created by a jilted mad scientist. “Oh yeah, robot twins of whom?” you might ask. Well, KISS!

KISS as superheroes, fighting their robot selves in an amusement park! Some concert foo...

Episode 212 invites you to remember a simpler time. A time when you only had three or four channels on your TV and you watched whatever was on. A time when those networks decided they could just make their own movies and not have to pay those Hollywood jerks anything. Were these made-for-TV movies bad? Not really. Well, sometimes. Were they good? Umm yeah, sometimes. Your thoughtful hosts have cul...

Episode 210 is a road trip that takes you to what your hosts can only suppose is Purgatory. “Southbound” is a 2015 anthology film that moves pretty seamlessly from one segment to the next and maintains the look and tone really well.

Episode 207 is about a film called "Atlantics” (2019). February is Women in Horror Month, so this debut work from female writer/director Mati Diop is an appropriate start.

That’s right- the writer/director who brought us “The Witch” has come back with an offering that’s worthy of our attention.

Episode 205 lets you in on a little secret: high budget and status don’t always make for a great movie. That’s right- some dedicated filmmakers with hardly any budget or status at all made a very clever and funny zombie movie, “One Cut of the Dead”. In a day and age where almost everybody is sick to undeath of zombie fare, you really have to bring it if you’re selling the zeds. The makers of this...

Episode 203 is coming at you like a freight train. Well, maybe more like an old steam train rented by a bunch of frat boys for their New Year’s Eve party. That’s right, your hosts are talking about “Terror Train” (1980). This old gem stars Jamie Lee Curtis, relatively fresh off of her “Halloween" (1978) success. There are lots of costumes, pranks, cadavers, train stuff and even a magician! “You me...

Episode 202. Christmas time is here. Your kind hosts are joined by returning guest host Ziggy for a discussion of Christmas horror movies. Jolyon did the work and found that had this been about killer Santa movies, the odds are just not good for picking something of quality. “So, are there any romantic zombie comedy musicals set at Christmas but in a high school?” you might ask. Wow, that’s remark...

Jolyon wants to clear them off the books and get them back before the decade runs out!
