Dead Is Better

Remember malls in the 80s? According to today's movie you could find literally everything there! Cigarettes in vending machines, boobs, highly explosive paint, more boobs, enough guns and ammo to impress Ted Nugent, and even malfunctioning killer robots! Yup, obviously we're talking about 1986's Chopping Mall this episode! Strap in because we go off the rails pretty quickly today. Adult beverages...

Hey peoples! Sorry about the erratic publishing schedule as of late. A little annoying thing called "life" keeps happening and getting in the way. We will continue to put out new episodes as frequently as we can. With that bit of groveling out of the way, we're back with a look at Into The Dark's Good Boy! The movie that proves adopting a psychotic killer monster dog is still better than having ki...

Hey peoples! It's the end of the world as we know it and we feel fine. Well... maybe not fine but at the very least indifferent. Today we look at the Norwegian post nuclear war (irony) thriller Cadaver. Or Kadaver as it's known in Norway where everything is spelled like the name of a death metal band. Also in this episode, Andrew must defend his horror trivia title against Tony, and we talk about...

We got us a Texas sized doozy here today peoples! Put on your cowboy boots and your dead mama's face because we're reviewing The Texas Chainsaw Massacre! That's right, the much anticipated sequel to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre! (My head hurts trying to follow that logic...) Where do we line up on what seems to be this very divisive splatterfest? Even Tony's dog puts his two cents in! Listen and f...

Strap on your bib, put on your stretchy pants, and load up on antacids, because today we're having a Feast! That's right! The Wes Craven/Matt Damon/Ben Affleck produced creature feature from the early 2000s dissected by us for your enjoyment! Also featuring our discussion on terrible movies that we love anyway as an appetizer. Bon appétit!

We got ourselves a doozy here folks! Not only do we talk about yet another Frank Henenlotter film, we have our first hostage... I mean GUEST of the podcast! That's right! Dead Is Better superfan Tim joins us this week to talk about Basket Case! Join us to find out "What's in the basket?" Spoiler: it's madness.

Today's episode is brought to you by the letters A, D, and D. And the number Alcohol. We kinda go off the rails on this one folks. We talk about Tony's obsession with non existent Stranger Things actor Wolf Finnhard, Andrew and Jade have a horror trivia rematch, and (eventually) we review the anthology movie Southbound. Join us as we try to figure out what the heck we just watched.

Happy new year peoples! We're back and we watched the oh so creatively titled The Stuff! We have so much stuff to say about The Stuff that we had trouble stuffing all the stuff into this overstuffed The Stuff episode! Also, Tony takes the reins as trivia master, Derrick reveals his obsession with green screen effects, and we pay tribute to the legendary Betty White (RIP).

Ho ho ho peoples! We're back for the holiday with a WHALE of an episode to stuff right in your stockings! That's right! Santa Jaws is coming to town! Listen as four CHUMS get together and DIVE into this HOHOHOrrifically ridiculous film. And... ummm... dammit I was going to fit more puns in... FINtastic... uhh... anyways. You get the picture. Also, Derrick sings Megadeth, Jade reminisces about an e...

Hi everyone. This is a message letting you know that we will be on temporary hiatus. Tony's family got hit hard by covid and his wife and mother in law are in the hospital. Thoughts and prayers are appreciated and there is a gofundme for Tony's family if you would like to help. Details in the recording.

Remember that horrifying movie from the 90s about a genie? The one that gave an entire generation terrible nightmares? Yeah, me too. But enough about Kazaam starring Shaquille O'Neal. Today we're talking about the Wes Craven produced Wishmaster, which is only slightly less frightening than Shaq's acting.

Hey peoples! Today we tackle the directorial debut of special effects legend Stan Winston with 1988's Pumpkinhead! And speaking of vegetable anatomy themed creatures, we got Derrick joining us! That's right, Zucchinibrain is back for a full episode with his particular brand of nonsense! Hooray!

As the quote from Joker says, "We live in a society." Well, that sounds like it requires effort. So we decided it would be easier to just watch a movie CALLED Society. Close enough. Also, we had a shunting good conversation/trivia contest with a very special (in every sense of the word) guest from Dead Is Better's past. Who is it? Listen and find out!

Drugs are bad, m'kay? At least that's the very subtle theme to today's movie, Brain Damage! It's your classic story: boy meets girl. Boy ditches girl for talking phallic slug muppet. Slug muppet injects psychotropic fluid into boy's brain. Boy trips balls and people die. A tale as old as time really. Come join us!

Today you get a double dose of chin with a shot of moustache. That's right!! Maniac Cop! It's the clash of the chins! Bruce Campbell vs Robert Z'Dar! Who will come out on top? Find out! Also, Jade, very calmly, gives his opinions about the naming of subgenres.

What can be said about Glenn Danzig's directorial debut, Verotika? No, I'm actually asking. What can be said about it? What the hell did I just watch?! Was that a real movie? Was it a fever dream? Am I having a bad trip while watching a really awful high school play?! WHAT IN GOD'S NAME WAS IN THOSE BROWNIES?!?! *goes fetal while gibbering uncontrollably*

When vacationing in Norway, be sure to travel down the highway of death to the county of death, where you can find the township of death and drive to the forest of death where you'll stay in a lovely cabin of death on the shores of the Lake of Death. That's also the oh so creative title of today's movie. Join us as we review this Norwegian flick as well as discuss celebrity dongs and the finer poi...

Wannabe rappers! OnlyFans! Naked pygmy serial killers! The reproductive implications of a female gremlin! We discuss these things and review the movie JeruZalem! Yes, that's how it's spelled because purposely misspelling things is so kewl! Listen in as we tackle this zombie/flying demon movie/google glasses tech demo.

Have you ever thought to yourself "that dude from Psych should totally make a horror movie with his friends inspired by international women's day and a treehouse needs to be tangentially involved"? No? Yeah not us either. But it happened anyway and today we're reviewing the results! Hulu and Into the Dark's Treehouse! The tree housiest movie we've reviewed to date! Come for the random tangents, st...

Ok, so this one is a bit late. Andrew was on vacation so, yeah. Anyways, we dive back in to Hulu's Into the Dark series with thier werewolf (I guess) flick, Blood Moon. We discuss this movie and the elements we feel make or break a werewolf flick. And boobies. Im pretty sure we talk about boobies too.

Almost a year ago, three middle aged guys got all teary eyed talking about a zombie movie. Yes, that happened. Those guys were us and that zombie movie was Train to Busan. Today we're taking a look at the sequel Train To Busan Presents: Peninsula. Does it hold up to the original? Will your hosts cry like little girls because emotions and stuff? And exactly how much better of a zombie heist movie i...

What do you get when you cross Nicolas Cage, sepia tones, demon bikers, copious amounts of drugs, and macaroni and cheese vomit? Probably Tuesday night at Nicholas Cage's house. You also get today's movie, Mandy! So grab your bottle of bathroom vodka and your tighty whiteys and let's go back to the 80s!

Today's episode is brought to you by the letters A, D, and D. Because we are all over the place on this one, even going back into our childhood memories of near death. And speaking of death, among our ramblings we manage to talk about Deathgasm! Possibly the most metal of all metal themed horror movies! Metal! Chainsaws! Sex toys! What's not to love?

Zack Snyder has returned to the zombie genre after nearly 2 decades and 873 hours of superhero film! Is his return a success or does it suffer horribly under its own weight? And will we get an even longer cut of this 2 and a half hour movie? Who knows! We braved the epic run time and technical difficulties with recording to talk to you, the listener, about Army of the Dead.

Hey peoples! We're back and we've got a new movie to talk about! Today we discuss The Void! No, it's not a documentary about the space between Cardi B's ears (although anything involving her is definitely horrifying). It's a light hearted romp with murderous sex cults, Lovecraftian horrors, and so very many tentacles. Is it as good as I just made it sound? Listen and find out!
