Slashers Podcast

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...

No, not Oedipis Orca from the same year that repeatedly came up in my research but I was too afraid to click on, but instead Orca (1977). The film is also known as Orca: The Killer Whale.  The film is basically a spaghetti western starring a giant dolphin? Didn't you know that killer whales are dolphins? Yeah, I thought Raffi had fucked up majorly in his book for Baby Beluga, but a quick Goog...

Metadata does not work. Whether I type like a bajillion words that are highly searched, or I write two half-assed sentences, our downloads remain the same. Still, I have some sick compulsion to dump time into these descriptions. Do you read them? Can you please validate me? Anyways, we are doing an episode on the 8-Bit horror titles from Nintendo. Hell, we even throw in.a couple of Super Nintendo...

This week we have a special guest host, Adam, of the soon to be released, Deep Cuts Matinee podcast. Be sure to follow Slashers for more updates as we will be happily sharing our friends' work.  Based on the game of the same name... well not exactly, because the game is also called Biohazard... oh and virtually nothing from the game makes it into the movie... Well, based on one of the titles...

Think back, many eons ago, to our pilot episode: Event Horizon. It is absolutely shocking to think that Paul W.S. Anderson directed that film and also Mortal Kombat. While he went on to do other video game adaptations like Resident Evil and Alien vs Predator, those films overlap just a little more than ninjas and possessed spaceships.  The film is obviously based on the game of the same name....

Get in the car, loser. We're going to Silent Hill. That's right, the town littered with horrific nurse monsters and murderous enthusiasts of Egyptian architecture inspired headwear.  I think we do a fair job of detailing the video game origins, to the Playstation game and its many easter eggs. Did you ever notice the street names referred to virtually every major horror and sci-fi author for...

So when we had the idea to do this movie, it was because we joked about June Doom instead of the usual June Gloom. Since recording, the world is now on fire, aside from being infected with a plague. First and foremost, all silliness and antics aside, we hope you are safe. In our own way, we love each of you and truly wish the best for you and your loved ones.  Now... onto this terrible movie!...

We Quaran-Team Up with our boys, The Spook House Podcast for this week's episode. Please find them at https://www.instagram.com/thespookhousepodcast and https://thespookhousepodcast.bigcartel.com/ The film is Hereditary, you know that delightful little family movie. Oh, whoops, wrong "D" word, I meant devastating!  After Ari Aster's ambitious student films,  The Strange Thing About the J...

One of Jake's all time favorite movies and he completed wasted it by letting Bob from No Redeeming Qualities guest host on it... uh, I mean, yay Bob... or whatever.  In all seriousness, we would like to thank Bob for taking the time to join in on this episode and yell even more than Jake... which we legitimately did not know was possible. You can find their show at https://nrqpodcast.com/ (Re...

I feel like everyone talks about this film's influence on the pro wrestler, Sting, but what about The Hardy Boyz? If you vacuum sealed their cargo pants to their legs, their outfits would be the exact same. Then add the high risk activities on perilously high objects and it's the same damn thing. Well, we didn't really get into that on the episode, but I have nothing better to do than to type nons...

“Ding dong, you're dead." Movie Dumpster, join us to review House! No, not the Nobuhiko Obayashi film of the same name from 1977. No, not the Hugh Laurie show. We are talking about House from 1985, that spawned a (kinda) four part franchise.  First, there is House. It's gnarly, we talk about it. Then there is House II: The Second Story, which Jake will be reviewing with Movie Dumpster on their sho...

In the right context, virtually anything can be scary; however, objectively, clearly, plainly, certifiably, this movie is horrifying. Remember in the new Invisible Man movie where weirdo boy punches that girl and the main chick takes the blame? That basically happens 50 times in Drop Dead Fred.  Plus the true horror. Phoebe Cates does not wear a red bikini... or any bikini for that matter. Oh...
