Pete and Bryan have spent the week in each other's bodies as the result of an unexpected body swap.  What better time could there be to watch 2020's slasher comedy/body swap movie Freaky?  Spoiler...they spend more time talking about 2025's Superman and arguing about what they've learned in the last week than discussing the movie they were supposed to cover.  This is a weird one.   Check out our s...

The Scare Value Podcast heads to Taiwan to wrap up its trip through Asian cinema.  It gives Pete the chance to exact revenge for a laundry list of aggravations.  As crazy as 2021's The Sadness is...this episode might be even crazier.  Pete invites a special guest to join the discussion.  Since they're in Taiwan you probably already figured out who that is.  Eventually...the simmering anger between...

The Scare Value Boys (fake) expedition through Asia continues with a look at 2004's Shutter from Thailand.  In this episode we learn that Pete believes in ghosts but not the subtitles he's reading.  So, yeah...the trip is going exactly as well as it has been going.

The Scare Value Boys' trip to Asia continues in Indonesia for a discussion of Joko Anwar's Satan's Slaves from 2017.  Pete is still angry that Indonesia looks an awful lot like his basement...but Bryan is excited to revisit a modern classic.  Will Pete be able to overcome his negative Nelly attitude and enjoy the spooky movie?  Join us in Indonesia to find out.

The Scare Value Boys continue their (fake) tour of Asia with a loving look at South Korean masterpiece Train to Busan.  Pete puts his anger away just long enough to gush over the zombie movie...or, at least, he directs it at the child star instead of his podcast partner.  Plus...they attempt to recast the film's lead roles for an American remake.  It goes exactly like you expect it to. Check out o...

The Scare Value Boys trip to Asia begins in Japan with a discussion of 2017 independent marvel One Cut of the Dead.  Pete is being a grump because they "didn't actually go to Japan"...but he loves the movie, nonetheless.  Stick around to find out how they find a comparison for this film to Rocky and, of all things, the Jackass franchise.

The Scare Value Boys tackle a two-year long issue when they sit down to revisit the 2023 hit movie M3GAN.  When they saw the movie together upon release...Pete claimed to like it.  He’s since spent two straight years claiming it was terrible while having never watched it again.  Will he still think it's bad this time?  Special bonus game:  Guess which one of us had pneumonia during this recording!...

The entire Scare Value Podcast crew joins together (separately) to record a script read through for the 50th anniversary of Jaws.  There was a slight hitch in the process...as we discovered the night before that the script from Jaws doesn't exactly match the classic lines and moments from Spielberg's masterpiece.  Undaunted, the script was hastily re-written from memory to truly honor this momento...

The Scare Value Podcast takes on a bold new direction.  Instead of the usual nonsense...they adapt a popular horror movie podcast format for the first time ever.  The boys discuss Terrifier 3 in a way that they have never approached a movie before.  After this...I can safely say...in a way that they never will again. You wanted a format?  I've got your format right here. Check out our stuff on htt...

Kitty joins Pete and Bryan for a discussion about the classic Easter horror/comedy Critters 2.  A movie that's a lot of fun and pays off nothing in the appropriate way.  Who will remember less about the original Critters movie...Kitty who saw it as a child...or Pete who watched less than a year ago?  I think you already know.

Foreign Correspondent Ken calls in from Taiwan for our annual Top Ten episode.  This year we're tackling the Top Ten Horror Comedies of All Time.  Three lists to go through...how many will overlap?  Will your favorite be included?  Will it take an entire year to come up with a category for next year?  The answer to all of these questions is just a click away.

With the long-awaited Final Destination: Bloodlines set to hit theaters this week...Pete and Bryan are joined by a returning Mark to discuss the original film 25 years later.  Did watching it in two segments split over six weeks have any ill effects on Pete's viewing experience?  Did they really name a character Clear Rivers?  Why did Alex spend the entire movie trying to solve Death's design only...

The Scare Value boys love Jack Quaid so much they rush to watch this year's Companion.  Massive spoiler warning for anyone who hasn't seen it yet...they talk about every twist and turn in this wildly entertaining movie.  Does Iris have the best Final Girl story in recent memory?  Why did the advertising spoil the first big twist?  How many things did Pete miss when he watched it?  Plus, the usual...

David Lynch month comes to a close with a visit to Club Silencio in 2001's Mulholland Drive.  It's a first time watch for Pete...and an old favorite for Bryan.  Will they see anything the same way this time after failing to find common ground on Lost Highway?  Of course not.  Why would we even bother at that point? Check out our stuff on https://scarevalue.com

David Lynch month continues with a Scare Value Podcast discussion of Lost Highway.  It's a first time watch for Pete...who we discover is incapable at taking anything at other than face value.  Bryan tries to survive what amounts to a discussion between two people who watched completely different movies.  So, you know...the usual.

David Lynch month continues with a watch-along of Bryan's favorite David Lynch movie...Fire Walk with Me.  Will Pete look at him differently after watching this horrifying depiction of sexual assault and despair?  Or did he always kind of know what he was into?  That and absolutely no questions answered in any definitive way on this week's Scare Value Podcast. Check out our stuff on https://scarev...

David Lynch month continues on the Scare Value Podcast with 1986's Blue Velvet.  A first time watch for Pete...and an old favorite for Bryan.  Will Pete like the more straight-forward narrative more or less than the fever dream that was Eraserhead?  How Twin Peaks does Blue Velvet get?  Can Vin Diesel life Mjolnir?  All this and (slightly) more on this week's Scare Value Podcast. Check out our stu...

The Scare Value boys try to solve one of film's greatest mysteries..."what is happening in The Accountant?".  They investigate the 2016 Ben Affleck movie the only way it can be done...watching the last seven minutes and trying to piece together a cohesive narrative.  Anna Kendrick gets a painting.  JK Simmons attends a press conference.  There's something about an autism center.  John Lithgow show...
