SlashU Podcast

It's time again for Shark Week here on SlashU, where we each take a pick at a cheesy, campy, sometimes terrible movie where a Shark is the killer. This week is professor Nick's pick, Ice Sharks from 2016. A group of scientists are studying climate change at a remote research station in the Arctic. They soon discover that warming waters have allowed a new breed of sharks to invade the area, picking...

This week we went back to summer camp to tackle Final Summer from 2023. After a horrible tragedy at Camp Silver Lake, the counselors try to move on and clean up the camp at the end of the season. As it turns out, the camp is going to be sold off to a developer. So this is their "Final Summer" together as a group. But a killer is stalking the campers picking them off one by one. Is the killer out f...

Oh wow, we picked a doozy this week. Go check out the cover art for "Pillow Party Massacre" from 2023 and compare it to "Slumber Party Massacre" from 1982. They're very, very similar. But since this movie is not nearly as good as the 1982 classic, I'm sure no one got sued over it. Our story centers around a group of friends trying to move past an April Fools' Day prank gone wrong from 2 years ago....

This week we improvised a clip show. Nick's out of town and there wasn't time to record. We're not professionals. But we each picked our top 3 favorite movies and here's a clip show featuring highlights from those past SlashU episodes. It's a nice little walk down memory lane and a chance to hear how the show has grown and changed over the years. This would be a great episode to listen to if you'r...

We stayed in the 80s this week with another campy classic. "Evil Laugh" is the story of a group of medical students who are looking to buy and restore and old foster home. The catch is that there was a murder in this foster home ten years prior and rumor has it the killer is still on the loose. We get all the great stereotypes you could ask for in this one, including a wonderful 80s music montage....

We've got another 80's classic to talk about this week. "He Knows You're Alone" from 1980 takes us on a journey with Amy Jensen. She's a young bride-to-be who's getting ready for her big wedding day coming up in 2 weeks. But a killer is on the loose who targets young ladies about to get married and their friends (a very specific demographic to be targeting). Detective Les Gamble is on the case, he...

This week we finally got back to our regular format where we watched a cheesy, campy, sometimes forgotten slasher movie and we're going to break it down. We took on 1982's "Fanatic: The Last Horror Film." The story centers around Vinny Durand, a fan obsessed with a horror starlet Jana Bates. He's an aspiring director and he's got the perfect film for Jana. But he's a nobody. So Vinny gets to Canne...

This week we had a special treat. We got to do a little Behind the Scenes stuff for the Murder Cabin movie. We spent all of Memorial Day Weekend filming the bulk of the movie and it was intense! But don't worry, we also had a ton of fun in the process and made some great memories. Check the show notes below for links to all the great other stuff our cast and crew are doing. Satchel Simpson: YouTub...

We had to cover the sequel. Laid to Rest came out of left field as a surprise to us for how great it fit the SlashU formula. So of course we had to watch Part 2. The action picks right up where we left off at the end of Laid to Rest. Believe it or not Chromeskull is alive and he's got Brian Austin Green helping him out. What fun! This time he's out to tie up loose ends from the first movie while c...
