Kill Streak

This week, it's the red-headed step-doll of the Chucky franchise! Will this much-maligned military themed entry pleasantly surprise us? Or will we find ourselves wishing that the Chuckster had just stayed dead? Listen to find out! Then after the recap, another rousing round of Horror Movie Trivial Pursuit, which includes a special request for our listeners...

The solstice is upon us, and it brings with it the return of long days and hot nights, baseball, mosquitos, and of course, Charles "Chucky" Lee Ray and his murderous hijinks! This second entry introduces even more of the light-hearted tone that will come to define this series, and it's regarded by many as the high water mark of the franchise. Do we here at Kill Streak HQ agree? You'll have to list...

The day is here folks! The 69th Episode Spectacular, celebrating a full year of Kill Streak, the podcast, and countless more years of compromises made in the name of physical intimacy. We were gonna bake a cake and throw a big party with streamers, but we forgot :(   However, we did remember to watch and recap "Child's Play," the beginning of a huge series! We had a lot of fun talking about Chucky...

Join us for a very special live commentary, where we sit down with the WONDROUS Whitney Moore (host of the fun and fascinating podcast DELIVER US FROM DISNEY) and dive deep into the body horror of "From Beyond." Watch along with us at home as we ewww and aaahhh our way through this spiritual sequel to "Re-Animator." Check out DELIVER US FROM DISNEY at: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/deliver...

We close out the Re-Animator series with the largely overlooked direct-to-video/cable stepchild, "Beyond Re-Animator." If nothing else, it's a solid title! Listen in to find out if there's anything else to recommend this one, as well as to help us try to parse who is masking what accent, and to learn all the secrets of "Ratty!" Then after the recap, we deliver our SHOCKING canonical rankings and s...

This week on the pod, it's the Brian Yuzna directed, Mary Shelley inspired sequel "Bride of Re-Animator." It's got more gore, more chintzy synthesizers, and Alotta Fagina! But does it justify its existence as a sequel to one of the all time horror greats? Listen to find out. Then in the end segment, Mike and Eric introduce an exciting new feature where they get in touch with their inner high schoo...

Paging Dr. Herbert West. The bangers keep coming! The guys breakdown one  of their all-time favs, the 1985 gore-soaked black comedy RE-ANIMATOR!  If you've never seen this one, or haven't seen it in a while, you owe  yourself a watch. Admire the disgusting gore! Fall in love with Barbara  Crampton! Bop along to the Psycho rip-off theme song! This movie has it  all! Exclamation point! Stay tuned to...

That's right BOOOOYS and girls and everyone else, we've come to the end of our series on Phantasm! We give out our awards to BEST SPHERE VARIANT, BEST ENDING, and BEST CAR FLIP/CRASH/EXPLOSION! Then we rank the whole series from worst to best. Stay tuned to the end to hear the next series we'll be covering! 

This week on the pod, it's the final installment of the Phantasm franchise and BOYYYYYY is it a hot mess! This labor of love with an odd origin story marks the final screen appearance of the late, great Angus Scrimm. Give us a listen as we try to make any kind of sense of the unhinged plot, and then stay tuned for the much anticipated return of COLON EXAM after the movie.

This week on the pod, it's the penultimate Phantasm film, coming a cool 19 years after the release of the original! It's a big jump into the future, but this film also spends a lot of its time dwelling on the past. Does it make for a perfect blend of old and new, or tonal mishmash of '79 and '98? Listen to find out! And then stick around after as Eric's basement gets crowded in the special-est of...

Things get a little goofy on this episode (recorded on 4/20, maaaannn!) and in this film, as the Phantasm series takes a turn for the tongue-in-cheek. So how does this entry stack up against its brethren? You'll have to listen to find out. Then after the flick, we unleash upon the world a particularly profound edition of "Mt. Rushgore!!!"

What do you think happens to you when YOU die? Hopefully, you come to us so we can joke around and watch horror movies together. But more likely, you'll end up in the clutches of the Tall Man! This week, we dive into the long-awaited sequel to Phantasm, with all the Gravers, Lurkers, gold sentinels, and forehead foreplay scenes you can handle! We've got some great behind the scenes stories and ple...

The BOOOOOOOYS get loose with this twisty-turny horror/sci-fi classic! Don Coscarelli's first foray into horror movies is a lot of things, but straightforward it ain't. It looks great, it sounds great, it oozes charm and creativity, and it's weird AF. What's not to love?  After much confusion and a false start, Mike takes on recap duties. It's thorough. Mike is a very thorough man. 

AND WE'VE COOOOME, TO THE END...OF...THE ROOOAD. That's Boyz II Men. Look it up zoomers. ANYWAYS, we've come to the end of the road on the Alien franchise and it's time to hand out some statues!! On this ep, we give out some coveted awards like: Best/Worst Lead and Supporting Actor; Worst Vacation Destination; Best Xenomorph Variant; and the Peter North Award for Android Gore!! Those and many more...

This week we cover the final (for now?!?!?!) entry in the Alien franchise, the "Alien" prequel/"Prometheus" sequel "Alien: Covenant." For all you android horndogs out there, you get double your Fassbender in this one. Plus some answers to the big questions about vases full of black goo but not so many answers about the big questions of life. Then after the flick, meet our newest end segment baby,...

Ok, let's get something clear right out of the gate: we know Noomi Rapace rhymes with "gloomy the boss" AND that it's Logan MARSHALL-Green, not Logan MICHAEL-Green. OK?! Don't @ us. Alright, glad we got that out of the way. This week on the pod, it's "Prometheus," which prompts some of life's big existential questions, like why in the hell would a biologist take his helmet off after 20 minutes on...

"France, we come from France!" Just like SNL's beloved "Coneheads," this week's feature serves up its extraterrestrials on a crunchy baguette with a side of creamy Brie cheese as acclaimed French director Jean-Pierre Jeunet takes the reins of the Alien franchise. We dive in with somewhat differing opinions on what works and what doesn't in this AGGRESSIVELY late 90's film written by famous Hollywo...

Tune in this week to hear our hot takes on one of the most infamous director vs. studio shitshows in all of horrordom, "Alien 3." Is this the worst Alien movie? Probably not! Is this the worst Fincher movie? The answer to that probably depends on your stomach for Brad Pitt as an old man baby hijinks! Is this a weird, fucked up, interesting to think and talk about movie? Definitely! After our break...

"This time, it's plural." With this unforgettable catchphrase, James Cameron and his collaborators gave birth to the archetypal action blockbuster, and paved the way forward for the highest grossing horror franchise of all time. Does "Aliens" still hold up 35 years later? Yes, duh, of course it does. Listen along with us and we take you behind the scenes of the biggest sci-fi/horror/action extrava...

"Alien." It's a noun. It's an adjective. It's horror. It's sci-fi. It's a cinematic masterpiece. And it's this week's movie on the ol' Kill Streak pod, baybeeee! This is one of the only seventeen or eighteen places to hear two unapologetic fanboys worship at the altar of Scott, Giger, and O'Bannon. Which could also be a really gnarly law firm, come to think of it. Coincidence? Only one way to find...

Alright, alright, alright. This week, we (Price and Eric aka Mick and Dick Ghoulie aka The Ghoulie Bros.) set our sights on the much derided "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation." Is this movie a steaming pile of head cheese? There’s no way to know without hearing our very special opinions!! Then stay tuned for the final segment where we wrap up the series by doling out our superlatives a...

"Look at me, I'm Leatherface!" - Idle Hands , 1999 Twenty four years after the release of the iconic original The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, New Line got their hands on the franchise license and decided to take a crack at turning power tool enthusiast Leatherface into the next Freddy Krueger. Did this gambit pay off with a slice of prime horror mayhem and a critical and box-office revival? Or did i...

This week we cover a sequel 12 years in the making...maybe another 12 years would've done the trick? This one was much-maligned at the time of its release, but recently has started to receive some praise. Does it deserve a reevaluation? Listen in and find out what we think. Then after our frank, hard-hitting discussion, we unveil a brand spanking new segment called "The Meta Critics," wherein we t...

It's gritty. It's gruesome. It's one of the all-time greats. This week, we fawn over "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre." We talk about what makes it so great, and why no one should make a movie like this again. Price also misidentifies the film as being "almost 40 years old" multiple times because he still wants to believe it's the aughts and he's in his 20s. Also, some great listener questions and co...

Our big January Drac-Off comes to a close this week with famed director Francis Ford Coppola's wild gothic romance of the early 90's. If you're not horny for Gary Oldman yet, you will be by the time you finish this movie. This one is a blast and we had a real fun time talking about it. But that's not all this jam-packed episode has to offer! We decided to plow right ahead and do our Drac-Off ranki...
