Middle-Aged and Mediocre

In this episode, we review the 2019 horror film, "1BR", and then banter for a while about Vince McMahon retiring from the WWE amidst sexual misconduct allegations, how NOT to interact with professional wrestlers, Ric Flair's last match (Cash thinks Flair is overrated), and bar fights.  It's one of our longest episodes but it's a good one that you can divide into two parts if you want with the...

This episode reviews the 2019 horror film, "Satanic Panic", starring Hayley Griffith, Ruby Modine, Jerry O'Connell, and Rebecca Romijn. We didn't know what to expect going into this one but we were pleasantly surprised by how entertaining it was. From IMDB: "A pizza delivery girl at the end of her financial rope has to fight for her life - and her tips - when her last order of the night turns out...

We review the new Shudder Original "Revealer" about a stripper and a religious protestor coming together to survive the apocalypse in 1980s Chicago while trapped inside a peep show booth and the network of tunnels beneath it.  It's a small-budget film that puts a lot on the shoulders of its two main stars and the chemistry between them.  Does it work?  Check out our new episode to f...

We review an absolutely dreadful "movie" from 2019 called SEAGULL that absolutely stinks out loud. It is such an awful movie that it led to us recording our worst podcast episode ever. On top of the terrible movie, we talk about the car trouble we had while out on a road trip, there's a mid-episode adventure involving a giant spider, and we use some conversation starter cards from Goodwill to have...

We sat down to talk about two of the most currently talked-about horror movies amongst the horror community, Dashcam and X, which are complete opposites. Dashcam is a found-footage style film that takes place in modern times with COVID at the center of the plot, with X set in 1979 and looking like it was filmed alongside the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Both movies are gore-filled and have pl...

Join us for Episode 1 of Season 4 though and maybe you can figure out what this stor...

(Main story begins at 22:15) Edward Gingerich was an Amish fella who never quite fit in with the community he so desperately wanted to escape.  He married his wife, Katie, because he felt pressured to do so and had three children with her, all of which he ignored and resented. We explore the downward spiral that Ed found himself on that ultimately led to him being the first Amish person to be...

He flew his friends all over the world and gave them a taste of what it was like to live the lifestyle o...

We once again find ourselves in Australia for a story about a human being who is an absolute maniac.  Katherine Mary Knight kept one-upping herself when it came to committing acts of mayhem and violence until she ultimately attempted to go as far as she could possibly go.   We also talk about the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie on Netflix, and just a heads up, there are a ton of spoile...

Harrison Norris Jr. was an average-at-best professional wrestler but when it came to being a world-class piece of shit, he was a champion.  Our first episode of 2022 and we promise we'll do better next time...

Allllllll the way back in our first episode, while talking about the Hinterkaifeck Murders (go back and listen now), we mentioned that a few years prior to that massacre, a similar horrific crime scene was found in Villisca, Iowa. We also mentioned that we might cover that story at some point. Well, some point has arrived, and with it, our investigation into the Villisca Axe Murders. The Villisca...

Season 2 Episode 3--- This one is out of control right from the start. We have a story that seemed creepy and perfect for this time of year the first time Cash read it but as you'll find out while listening to this episode, it mostly just makes for an entertaining story that is perfect to mock for its absurdity. With that being said, credit for this story goes to Marisa Kwiatkowski at the IndyStar...
