Slashers Podcast

Congratulations! If you are reading this stupid description and listening to this stupider podcast, you survived 2020-- or you're a very smart zombie.  To celebrate the new year, the theme for January is New Year, New Movies! That's right, and entire month of movie reviews, but do not worry, they are not new in time, just in title. Every film this month with have "New" in its name.  To s...

Alright, metadata gods. Now is the time. Bring me all of the new listeners I have craved this year. To wrap up "Cystmas," we have interviews with two actors from the film Cyst.  First up, we have Gene Jones, who has been in The Hateful Eight, No Country for Old Men, Sacrament, and both Red Dead Revolver and Redemption. We discuss his tremendous stage experience, and how that has shaped him as...

We have a bonus sized Cystmas/ Christmas special for you this week, goons! Jake interviews Eva Habermann, star of Lexx, Under ConTroll (Troll World), and of course-- CYST! We discuss her working relationship with George Hardy and how his cameo in Under ConTroll ended up being responsible for Cyst ever even being conceived. It is remarkable just how many cast members and crew overlap from Under Con...

On the second week of Cystmas, my goon love gave to me... an in-ter-view with the pro-ducer! You like how I typed that out syllabically for the two people who read these episode descriptions? Because you... you're worth it.  Travis is a true goon and supporter of our show and it is so righteous to be able to support his film, Cyst. Please stay tuned in weeks to come, because there will be new...

We are happy to announce this month on Slashers, we are hosting Cystmas! That is right, each week of December, we will feature an interview with a member of the cast and crew from Cyst (2020).  You can find the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWZuxRssLUk and the Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/cystmovie/ This week we have writer/ director, Tyler Russell. We discuss his c...

You know the meme. The one with the guy gesturing and the butterfly and whatever. You are clearly hip to the interwebs, otherwise you wouldn't have found our stupid show.  On this episode, Adrienne discusses what is and what is NOT "torture porn," as established by David Edelstein.  We discuss movies ranging from Hellraiser, to Terrifier, with Hostel and Martyrs in between.  No hidd...

On this week's episode, Doug discusses the film The Greasy Stranger and its eerie similarities with two films he directed: Gross House and Don't Touch That Dial (both available on Troma Now & B-Movie TV).  Jake has the pleasure of sitting down with video game music maestros, Lame Genie. We talk everything from their favorite horror films, to pro wrestling, with Taco Bell patronage in betw...

This week, more than most, shows why being a Patreon patron and getting the perk of early access is so ideal. When we recorded, we were awaiting the election results, which are now old news. Enjoy our trepidation at the real life horrors of politics.  Doug presents on the 1987 film, Slaughterhouse. The film was written and directed by, Rick Roessler, who is still interested in making a sequel...

This week's episode offers a broad spectrum, from gaming to short, gorey horror films.  Doug presents on the video game, Dead by Daylight. Originally released 6/14/16, the game has exploded into a multi-platform juggernaut, offering goopy goodness from the Nintendo Twitch to the PS5, with PC in between. Doug talks about the gameplay, the game's style, and its consistently high quality downloadable...

Doug is back for another fun episode, where he talks about the film: Microwave Massacre.  Jake does a deep dive on the Creepy Crawlers brand, which spans six decades and includes action figures, a TV show, and a long-rumored film adaptation.  If  you ever have feedback or recommendations on future episodes,     please  let us know at slasherspod@gmail.com. Y...

Somehow I roped Jordan, from The Cult Sounds, into hosting my show. He talks about the catastrophic, yet highly entertaining Halloween 3: Season of the Witch, while I talk about the band Calabrese and interview their drummer, Davey. Halloween 3 is often maligned for a lack of Michael Myers. To this I say... and? We both defend the film, both in its astonishing confidence, but also its competent ex...

Liking the new format? Well we hope so. If not, please sign up to our Patreon and I will then take your input more seriously.  This week's episode is on Pathology and All Hallow's E.P. Adrienne introduces us to the 2008 Milo Ventimiglia and Alyssa Milano film. She even deep dives into the content and the poem from the film. The film was directed by Marc Schölermann, who does not have a Wikipe...

We have talked about doing these movies before Jimmy was even on the show. Even if you hate every actor, every line, every plot point, I think that a certain amount of respect is owed to the film making and ingenuity that went into each installment of this franchise. Simply point, Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell are some legitimate legends... even if we include the woeful Spider-Man 3 and its 15 vill...

We are all in with this new format, and hope you are too. Originally, we planned to test this out and workshop it a bit, but as some of you know, we had a serious issue with a memory card that somehow snapped in half inside an adapter (which was undamaged). As a result, we lost four episodes and in order to maintain our release schedule, we adapted.  This week we are discussing two movies tha...

Hey gang! We have a new format that we are very excited about. Basically, the show will be more show and tell, with each host bringing their own horror media selection to talk about. We figure this will eliminate simply repeating a movie beat by beat, and introduce you to more stuff like a sassy middle-aged lady's book club... but with blood! As I put it, "this is Slashers, your new favorite podca...

This was formerly a Patreon Bonus episode. While it may seem like a total copout, it has always bothered me that this episode was behind a paywall. Plainly, I think that my wife, Ciara, and Bryan's wife, Michelle, did a great job as "Slashettes." If you like what you hear, please let us know. It would be fun to con them into trying this again.   The movie is The Descent, an all-female horror...

Sure, it was originally a sports game based on ancient pok-ta-pok, and yeah, the story is just Eternal Champion, and okay, I'll admit that the character designs look like the dregs of DeviantArt, but damn, I wish that Thrill Kill actually came out.  On this episode, my good friend, Yeti, joins me to discuss the game that never was, and the game it became.  The game would later be repurposed as Wu...

No amount of typing will save our downloads on this episode. No one will give a shit about this movie. Frankly, the people who made it didn't even care. Aside from a great poster, Blood Harvest does not have much going for it. Still, our buddy, Doug Waugh, joins us to review this thing.  Directed by Bill Rebane, who also directed Monster a Go Go, Twister's Revenge, and more schlocky goodness....

This week's episode is on a more obscure title this week, that has languished on many of your watch lists on Netflix for years.  Written and directed by Ana Lily Amirpour, a very unique filmmaker. We detail her meetings wiht both Keanu Reeves and Jim Carey, which are wholly unlike any other we've ever heard of.  The film stars Suki Waterhouse as the incompletely cannibalized protagonist,...

This episode features our pal, Jonny Disaster, from "Hidden Tracks" alumni Cry Havoc! Unsurprisingly, they are the Hidden Track on this episode, with their classic song, "Fuck You! Just Die," from their classic album, "...And Let Slip the Dogs of War." On this episode, we give a brief history of the band, The Misfits, in its many incarnations: from humble origins on 4/25/77 at the original CBGB, t...

Born Mark William Calaway, this ginger giant went on to become possibly the most long-tenured, scandal free pro wrestler of all time: The Undertaker.  Don't care about wrestling? Well this episode is still worth your time as this man's career is prolific and unlike any other. Also, I mean... he's a zombie priest with a dayjob at a mortuary, or something? I mean, he's like The Tall Man from Phantas...

Remember that movie with Jennifer Lopez (Anaconda, Gigli, Enough) where the horse gets cross-sectioned? Yup, that is how I have had to describe this movie to anyone I've mentioned it to, otherwise they would have no idea what I was talking about.  It is hard to call the film a cult classic, given that it was a commercial success, and its name earned enough notoriety to be bastardized with an...

This week's episode is another Battle of the Cryptids; however, this time it is all international creatures! Here are the competitors:  Lagarfljót Worm, we get into the history of this creature, which is officially recognized by a "Truth Commission." Mngwa, is a sassy Tasmanian cat. Minhocão, is a giant Brazilian worm Mapinguari, a hairy humanoid cyclops with a gaping mouth on its belly, or a...

This is Steven Spielberg's favorite Jaws ripoff, so it should be yours too. Piranha was the creature feature that catapulted Joe Dante into further works such as The Howling and Gremlins.  Dante has been very candid about taking the job from producer, Roger Corman, to allow his personal friend to direct Rock N' Roll High School instead. Imagine what the world would be like now without that ch...

The movie so nice, Roger Corman made it twice: Humanoids from the Deep. On this episode we discuss both versions, as well as the graphic novel of the same name. We also talk the controversy between Corman and director, Barbara Peeters. Y'know, when Corman thought the movie wasn't salacious enough, so he went and shot his own clips of increased violence and nudity and put it in the movie over Peete...
