The boys know that their fans love it when dip their delicate toes into the world of obscure horror, and this title is definitely one title that checks off all the boxes. Bizarre and completely unexpected, if there’s one title that fans absolutely need to experience prior to listening to their review, it’s fucking Xtro . No idea what the hell Xtro actually means or what it stands for, but its a fi...

It’s there’s one thing we know about the boys of Dark Night of the Podcast, it’s that they love themselves a proper, masculine, truck-driving lesbian! And few lesbians read quite as lesbianic as the androgynous and truly badass Marie from the ever-divisive 2003 French gore-fest High Tension . This early Alexandre Aja title has caused much contention amongst horror fans and for good reason; it thro...
