Next episodes assignments: Inhuman Kiss (Sang Krasue) They Will Kill You Gaia Someone Is In My Basement (short) Watch along with us if you like and we’ll see...

Movies discussed: Night Patrol, Whistle, Primate, The Littles (short) We emerge from our Friday the 13th marathon with three new movies. Overall we’re impressed with Primate, underwhelmed by Whistle, and kinda baffled by Night Patrol. Next episodes assignments: We Bury the Dead Shelby Oaks Monkey’s Magic Merry Go Round You Were Never Yours (short) Watch along with us if you like and we...

Movies discussed: Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (again!), Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (again!), Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (again!), Spaceon (Fine! Jason X, again!), Friday the 13th (remake, again!), Dead Grandma (short) We’re finally ki ki ki ah ah ahhhll done with the Friday the 13 series! While 8, 9 and the reboot are nowhere near the series’...

Movies discussed: 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, The Mortuary Assistant, Thrash, Diaboli (short) We’re back! This time, we find The Mortuary Assistant kind of mediocre, Thrash surprisingly mediocre, and 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple equal parts beautiful and… kinda mediocre. But we had fun talking about ’em! Hear for yourself! Next episodes assignments: Ki ki ki ah ah ah . ....

Movies discussed: Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, Undertone, Carnival of Souls, The Worm (short) This time around we’re more than ready for Ready or Not 2, enjoy the rides at the Carnival of Souls, and find Undertone a little Underwhelming. Also, it’s past April Fools, so you can rest assured that everything we say is 100% factual. Next episodes assignments: Thrash 28 Years Later: The Bon...

Movies discussed: Vamp, Scream 7, All You Need is Blood, The Owl (short) This week we ponder how many more Screams really need to be scrummed, why Grace Jones made a bizzarro vampire movie, and whether indie horror has to choose between sincere and gonzo. Next episode’s assignments: Undertone Carnival of Souls Ready or Not 2: Here I Come The Worm (short) Hey, here’s a video from the In...

Movies discussed: Send Help, Black Phone 2, Beast of War, Next Show in 90 Minutes (short) This episode has it all: battle-scarred sharks, next-level Australian swearing, ice-skating ghosts, Jesus-centric flirting, paralytic octopuses, regurgitative CPR… Overall we all dig Send Help, but Black Phone 2 and Beast of War get split decisions. Next episodes assignments: Vamp Scream 7 All You Need...

Movies discussed: Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (again!), Friday the 13th: A New Beginning (again!), Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (again!), Avoid Asking (short) This time we’re speedrunning the Tommy Jarvis saga in our Friday the 13th rewatch. We all agree VI is great, Charlie and Josh love IV, and Matt really digs V (which is his right as a horror fan and an American). Look at...

Movies discussed: The Toxic Avenger (remake), Dust Bunny, Queens of the Dead, The Rug (short) This episode features three reality-adjacent flicks, each with a very particular vision. We all love the lush & feverish Dust Bunny and the intentionally low-rent new Toxic Avenger, while Queens of the Dead gets mixed reviews. Next episode’s assignments:   Ki ki ki ah ah ah . . . Friday the...

Movies discussed: Friday the 13th (again!), Friday the 13th Part 2 (again!), Friday the 13th Part III (again!), Playing God (short) Hey Hot Doggies! Hope y’all had a good holiday season! We extended ours a little – sorry for the wait. This time we’re digging back into Friday the 13th, and finding they’re better than the culture remembers them to be. We had conflated a lot o...

Movies discussed: Influencers, Necropolis, I Madman, Irradiated (short) Hey Hoy Doggies! This is likely our last show of 2025, so we’re celebrating by doing the same thing we always do. This time we all fall under the sway of Influencers, but have to debate the relative merits of low-budget 80s flicks Necropolis and I, Madman (Matt’s wrong as usual, but he’s so dang cute we&#8217...

Movies discussed: Spellbinder, Bone Lake, Chompy & the Girls, To the Brink (short) This time around, two of us dig Bone Lake, a different two of us like Spellbinder, and we all agree that Chompy and the Girls is a wonderful strange little gem. Next episodes assignments: Necropolis Influencers I, Madman Irradiation (short) Watch along with us if you like and we’ll see you next episode. Th...

Movies discussed: Cellar Dweller, Sew Torn, Frankenstein (2025), Slash (short) This time around we dig into Bill of the Bull’s Frankenstein, have a nostalgic blast with Cellar Dweller, and enjoy the genre-bending Wes-Anderson-meets-Edgar- Wrightness of Sew Torn. Next episodes assignments: Chompy & the Girls Spellbinder Bone Lake To The Brink (short) Watch along with us if you like and we...

Movies discussed: I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025), The Hand That Rocks The Cradle (2025), Birdeater, The Reprisal (short) We’re back after a lovely Twin Cities Con, and we’ve got a lot to talk about. This time we all dig the bleak Australian thing Birdeater, some of us have big dumb fun with I Know What You Did Last Summer, and one of us liked The Hand that Rocks the Cradle. Nex...

Movies discussed: Good Boy, It’s What’s Inside, V/H/S Halloween, Howl at the Dead (short) This time, we find both tricks and treats in V/H/S Halloween, love It’s What’s Inside, and admire the effort in Good Boy. Next episodes assignments: The Hand That Rocks the Cradle (remake) I Know What You Did Last Summer (remake) Birdeater The Reprisal (short) Watch along with us if yo...

Movies discussed: Rounding, Dangerous Animals, Monster Island, Sit Back (short) Hey Hot Doggies, sorry we were gone so long – the film festival ate all of our free time and most of Matt’s sanity. But we’re back! This time we dig Monster Island, like parts of Dangerous Animals, and think Rounding is a great pilot for a medical drama but not much else. Next episodes assignments: It...

Movies discussed: Ziam, Best Wishes to All, Venus, Mr. Static This time we dig the martial artist vs. zombies flick Ziam, agree that Venus is too much of a good thing (or maybe too many different good things?), and 2/3rds of us think Best Wishes to All is great. Next episode’s assignments: Dangerous Animals Rounding Monster Island Sit Back (short) Watch along with us if you like and we&#8217...

Movies discussed: Weapons, Mr. Harrigan’s Phone, Clown in a Cornfield, Cubicle (short) This time we’re into Weapons, gently entertained by Mr. Harrigan’s Phone, and split on Clown in a Cornfield (shucks). The MNGFE film festival is approaching WAY too fast and we’ll be launching the ticketing site soon! You can sign up at mngenrefilmexpo.com to get notified, if you wanna. N...

Movies discussed: Drop (2025), Push (2025), Orca, Attic Panic (short) This time we are surprised at how fun Orca is, not sure if Push delivers, and had differing levels of joy with Drop. Next episodes assignments: Clown in a Cornfield Together Mr. Harrigan’s Phone Cubicle (short) Watch along with us if you like and we’ll see you next episode. The post Episode 503 – Qu’est-c...

Movies discussed: The Grapes of Death, Night Call, Ash, Storm (short) Sorry for the extended break, but now we’re back in the game! This time we love Night Call, appreciate Ash’s trippy aesthetic, and chuckle over vintage zombie movie The Grapes of Death. Next episodes assignments: Push (2025) Orca Drop (2025) Attic Panic (short) Watch along with us if you like and we’ll see you...

Movies discussed: Frewaka, The Surrender, 28 Years Later, Roger is a Serial Killer (short) We called an audible on Bring Her Back (left the multiplex too fast) and did 28 Years Later instead. We liked… parts of it! And some of us liked Surrender! At least we all agree that Fréwaka is a somber Irish masterpiece. Next episodes assignments: The Grapes of Death Ash Night Call Storm (short) Watch...

Movies discussed: Final Destination Bloodlines, The Ugly Stepsister, The Damned (2024), Transfigure (short) You know we’re not great at celebrating milestones, but 500 episodes is special. So we pull out all the stops by reviewing three great movies: Final Destination Budlimes, The Damned, and Ugly Stepsister. Whether you’ve been with us for all 500 episodes or this is your first (or a...

Movies discussed: Sinners, Dead Mail, It Feeds, quiet apocalypse (short) This week we gush over Sinners, dig Dead Mail’s retro weirdness, and agree It Feeds defines “solid.” Next episodes assignments: The Ugly Stepsister The Damned Final Destination: Bloodlines Transfigure (short) Watch along with us if you like and we’ll see you next episode. The post Episode 499 – T...

Movies discussed: The Rule of Jenny Pen, Dead Talents Society, 825 Forest Road, Pentatarmex Rabitular (short) As we close in on our 500th episode, we’re determined to… keep doing the thing we always do. This time around, Jenny Pen rules, Dead Talents Society charms, and 825 Forest Road frustrates. Next episodes assignments: Sinners Dead Mail It Feeds Silent Apocalypse (short) Watch alo...

Movies discussed: Without Name, Death of a Unicorn, Revelations, Pleasant Inn (short) We’re back and in rare form! Okay, no, the usual form. This time we enjoyed Death of a Unicorn despite its uneven tone, found Without Name a little *too* somber of an Irish thing, and saw glory with Revelations. Next episodes assignments: 825 Forest Road The Rule of Jenny Pen Dead Talents Society Pentatarme...
