SlashU Podcast

This week we cut together some highlights from our Shark Week episodes. For the last few years we've each selected a cheesy, campy, sometimes forgotten shark movie. It's made for 6 episodes of some of the dumbest SlashU viewing we've ever had. So we thought it was time to revisit some highlights from those Shark Week episodes and we bring you that today. It's the SlashU Best of Shark Week. Listen...

We went all the way back ton 1975 for this one. And it's a little untraditional for a "slasher" movie. We covered "Mary, Mary, Bloody Mary." It's the story of Mary (really?) who is a talented painter living in Mexico. The only catch is that Mary likes to drink blood. Is she a vampire? Not really. Is there some sort of magical reason she drinks blood then? No, she just likes it....a lot. So how doe...

We've got another great show for you this week as Season 10 of SlashU continues. We covered "Founders Day" from 2023. It's the story of a heated mayoral election in the small New England town of Fairwood. There's a masked killer on the loose whose intentions are to sway the election a certain way. Not a bad commentary on reality if we're being honest. Plus we've got an interview with CJ From the M...

We're back with Season 10 of SlashU. What a wonderful ride it has been. We're hot off the January break and diving right into a Valentine's Day slasher movie. It's "Lovers' Lane" from 2000. It's the story of a famous makeout spot, where a couple people were killed 13 years ago. Now it seems the killer is back and targeting the children of his victims. This one tries to have some twists and turns t...

As we continue our time off in January, we thought it would be fun to drop a clip show. It's the Best of Season 8 here on SlashU. This would be a great episode to recommend to someone who doesn't listen. They can get a sense for how our typical show sounds and laugh along to all the dumb stuff we talk about in addition to the movies. Thank you all for listening and stay tuned for an awesome 2025!...

We tried our hand at a live commentary of one of our least favorite movies, just so you could learn to love it as much as we hate it. Boot up Final Exam wherever you get your on-demand movies and then hit "play" on this episode. Cue it up according to what we say right at the beginning so you know you're synced up between your movie and this podcast. Then sit back and enjoy as if Nick and Andy are...

It's our final new episode of 2024. We're wrapping up our annual SlashYule holiday tradition with one more "Christmas movie." We've covered the first two so we have to hit part 3. It's "Terrifier 3." We'll go over all of Art the Clown's antics as he continues to terrorize Sienna and Jonathon Shaw and the other residents of Miles County. This one got a little more supernatural, and the over-the-top...

It's an annual tradition here at SlashU that we have to cover the Silent Night, Deadly Night series. And since our Podcast is now a multi-year, multi-season episode juggernaut in broadcasting, we're up to Part 5 of the "Silent Night, Deadly Night" series. So for better or worse, we covered part 5, "The Toy Maker." This series strayed so far off the track from the original that it's very strange to...

This week we're bringing you another hidden gem from 2015. Starring William Shatner, it's "A Christmas Horror Story." It's a series of four separate plot lines all intertwined among the people of Bailey Downs, outlining four very different but all horrific Christmases. We thought this was a great way to tell four separate stories all in one 1hour, 40minute movie. And William Shatner! Listen and en...

This week we started our annual SlashYule series of Christmas movies to celebrate the season. Too bad we're starting with a very slow slog called "Nutcracker Massacre" from 2022. It follows the story of Clara as she navigates Christmas with her Aunt Marie, cousin Melissa, ex-boyfriend Paul, and a life-sized homicidal possessed Nutcracker figure. Typical Christmas in....London? Los Angeles? New Yor...

Welcome to Thanksgiving week here in the U.S.A. It's a time of year to gather around with friends and family and give thanks for all of the good in your life. For the Brimston family, it's a time to punish anyone who isn't celebrating. And by "punish" I mean "kill and eat." That's right. For a holiday that centers around dinner, we covered a movie that centers around cannabalism. Welcome to SlashU...

We continued our journey in the "Terrifier" series with "Terrified 2" from 2022. Art the Clown is back and it's gorier than ever. As tradition holds, in most slasher movies, the sequel has to ramp up the gore factor. This movie does not disappoint in that regard. Art is a master psycho clown killer and very good at torturing and ultimately killing his victims in very gruesome fashion. But we get m...

We finally went to "Art Class" this week and watched "Terrifier" from 2016. Here at SlashU we try to educate you on the cheesy, campy, and sometimes forgotten slasher/horror movies. But I think it's safe to say this one is on everyone's radar these days. So it's not very forgotten, however it still fits the mold of cheesy/campy. But it breaks the mold when it comes to gore effects. And with Art th...

Well Students, we heard this one was good. Upon review, we're not so sure everyone was truthful with us. We tackled "All Hallows Eve" from 2013. It's the movie that brought us the now infamous Art the Clown from the "Terrifier" series. So your professors thought we'd go see what all the hub-bub was about. We were not impressed. This anthology movie contains three separate stories within a larger s...

You all knew we would have to talk about the sequel. A few episodes back we covered "Don't F*** in the Woods" and now we've come full circle to cover Part 2. It's the continuation (and conclusion maybe?) to one of the most literal horror movies we have covered here on SlashU. Our Final Girl Jane from the first movie stumbles out of the woods onto a group of counselors at a summer camp. She tries t...

This week we took a road trip with "Creep Van" from 2012. When a killer with absolutely no backstory starts randomly killing people with this booby-trapped van, our slacker hero Campbell gets mixed up in all the drama. But there are great kills and some cheesy one-liners. Listen and enjoy! Follow us on Instagram @SlashU_Podcast Email us at SlashUPodcast@gmail.com Check out the Facebook page too: S...

We're still so proud of ourselves here at SlashU for completing 150 numbered episodes that we decided to just continue riding the Friday the 13th train by covering the 2009 "remake." Although the argument could be made that this is actually Friday the 13th Part 11, since it's a bit of a 'spiritual sequel' to the 1980 movie. A group of campers out to find a hidden crop of weed in the woods end up c...

We've made it to 150 episodes! Thank you so much to everyone who has been along for the ride that is SlashU for these last 4 years. We've come a long way from a dinky little poorly recorded podcast all the way to a much better sounding dinky little podcast. And this week we decided to tackle one of the best all-time OG Slashers that spawned so many things throughout this wonderful genre that we lo...

This week we were at our first Horror Convention. It was Horror Fiesta in Peoria, Illinois. It was also the first horror convention for the town! So we were happy to be in on the ground floor as Peoria builds up and honors their horror/slasher community. We recorded a few segments right from the convention floor, just talking and reacting to the things we saw and even had some of the people speak...

On this week's episode, we're bringing you another special interview. We sat down with Calvin Marie McCarthy, the writer/director of "Pillow Party Massacre." He talked to us about making that movie as well as tons of other projects. We discussed his time working on low-budget horror, working with a familiar cast and crew of people, and how he thinks this genre has evolved over time. Calvin's been...

This week we sat down with someone we consider to be low-budget horror royalty. It's Jeremy Sumrall. We know him best here at SlashU for playing The Beast in 2009's "Sweatshop" but he's done tons of other great things! So we got Jeremy on the line and decided to talk all about it for about an hour. He told great stories of how he started out, how he wound up in both "Sweatshop" and "Axe Murdering...

We went pretty basic this week and also handled our first Creature Feature. Still a Slasher movie at heart, we talked about "Don't F*** in the Woods." It's a very simple movie premise. A group of campers are in the forest for a weekend of partying. Anyone who engages in intercourse becomes victim to a creature attracted by sex. And that's it. There's a sequel though, so stay tuned for that! Follow...

This week we found another goofy, campy slasher to dive into. It's "Slashorette Party" from 2020. The story centers around Brie, a young bride-to-be who might be having a case of cold feet. Her friends throw her a surprise Bachelorette Party in a cabin out in the woods. But they get surprised by uninvited guests who begin picking off the partygoers. It's a slow burn at first but then it cuts loose...

We debut Season 9 this week! I know, it just snuck up on all of us. But we felt like we had been hanging out in Season 8 for a long time. And it was time to start fresh as we round out the summer. This week we brought you one from 2023, but it's set in the 80s. "Murdercise" takes place when it was a simpler time, when a workout video full of attractive women doing squats would have made a million...

We're back to wrap up Shark Week here on SlashU. Another year, another couple of bad Shark movies in the books. This week we took on 2016's "Planet of the Sharks." It's another one where climate change has melted all the ice and 98% of the planet is covered in water. Sharks are the dominant species on the face of the earth and they've formed a massive super school. All the sharks are being control...
