SlashU Podcast

We're moving right along with Spooky Season here at SlashU.  This week's episode takes on the old Frankenstein cliche with a sultry, sexy twist.  it's Frankenhooker from 1990.  When young Jeffrey's fiancé is killed and chopped apart in a horrible lawn mower accident, he sets out to put her back together.  But he needs parts.  So he targets a prostitution ring in New York C...

It's stars galore in this week's episode.  We get to see a few of Hollywood's finest very early on in their careers.  The story is set in the woods of Northern California.  A group of forest rangers are taking a group of female campers out on the river for a few days of rafting.  But plans go wrong when it appears one of the rangers has gone crazy and starts stalking and killin...

We jumped back to 1979 this week to watch one that's not actually a slasher.  It's ok though, we're all earning this together, and it's why we check these movies out for you here at SlashU.  This story centers around a cast and crew shooting a horror movie on location in a remote location.  The ambitious director is going for the ultimate in realism.  So real, in fact, that he'...

It's our second week of Marine Biology classes here at SlashU and we're covering Jurassic Shark.  Long before Jason Statham starred in "The Meg" there was this cinematic gem.  When an oil company illegally drills too deeply, they end up releasing a prehistoric predator that wreaks havoc on a group of thieves and high school girls.  They all end up stranded on the same island unable...

We're back for Season 5 of SlashU and we missed you all so much!  This week we're doing a little Marine Biology course here at SlashU.  It's our own take on Shark Week.  As it turns out there are TONS of cheesy, campy movies where a Shark is the Slasher.  Exhibit A: Ouija Shark.  The story centers around a group of girls who accidentally unleash a ghost shark when they pla...

We have a short and sweet movie to talk about this week. But despite the moving only being an hour long, we still managed to record for 90 minutes! Lots to talk and laugh about here at SlashU. This story is all about Ethel Janowski, who just got released from a mental institution. Her doctor recommended that she go on a diet, because her obesity could be bad for her heart. And when Ethel is told s...

We jump to 1979 to check out this classic starring Chuck Connors and Tanya Roberts. It’s Tourist Trap, where the killer has telekinesis and a fetish for mannequins. All the makings of a great slasher. Be sure to check us out on instagram @SlashU_Podcast and reach out at SlashUPodcast@gmail.com and visit SlashUPodcast.com for more.

Students it's another classic story of teens trying to sneak away and fool around.  This week we take a break to go to the carnival in 1981's The Funhouse.  When two couples on a double date decide to spend the night in the carnival Funhouse, things end up being not so fun.  They witness a murder and bad things unfold from there.  This one did not follow the classic 'slasher' f...

Alright students!  We jumped to 2012 for this week's episode.  It's all about a killer clown named Stitches with a little supernatural stuff sprinkled in.  Stitches the clown was a deadbeat clown doing gigs at kids' birthday parties.  At one party, where all the kids were spoiled little brats, Stitches was struck by an unfortunate accident that caused his untimely death.  ...

Well students, we had to do a re-record.  The original audio for this episode is lost forever in computer-space land or something.  It didn't record properly so we had to do it again.  Which is great for you because you got 2 fresh-faced, bushy-tailed professors to talk about this movie.  Our story centers around a group of 8 high school graduates who have snuck into a furnitur...

Hello students!  SlashU is back with a fresh episode.  What do you get when you cross The Graduate with a slasher movie and sprinkle in some True Crime drama?  Well, it's They're Playing with Fire from 1984.  It's the story of Professor Diane Stevens in a plot with her husband Michael to strong-arm his mother and grandmother out of their huge house and get all the inheritance m...

Well we're back with a new episode and we took it back to basics.  We're coming to you again from 1982 with the classic slasher Death Screams.  Pretty formulaic; a maniac stalks and kills young adults with a machete.  But the onion layers start to peel away when we learn who the killer is and why he's doing it.  We had a blast picking this one apart and going off on a couple ta...

We're back to the 80s with a classic Sorority-based slasher.  When a killer dressed in the school's mascot uniform goes on a rampage during an annual scavenger hunt, it's up to Mac the campus security officer to figure out what's happening.  Will he get to the bottom of the mystery in time?  Not before a few co-eds get killed. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com...

Here it is, students!  The final (for now) entry in the Hatchet Series which concludes our AP Course here at SlashU.  We cap it all off with Victor Crowley from 2017.  The story takes place 10 years after the events of Hatchet III.  One of the survivors of the horror in the swamp, Andrew Yong, has written a book about his experience and he's on a tour trying to sell some copies...

This week we cap off the Hatchet Trilogy with Hatchet Part 3! It’s time to go back into Honey Island Swamp one more time to stop the curse of Victor Crowley once and for all. And this time they take a whole bunch of police and SWAT team people with them. I’m sure it’ll turn out just fine and no one will die a horrible, gruesome death. Listen to us and find out!

We’re up and running with another AP SlashU episode. We’re right in the middle of our dive into the Hatchet series. This week we bring you the second installment, Adam Green’s Hatchet 2. It’s the continuing saga of Victor Crowley haunting and killing anyone and everyone who dares to enter Honey Island Swamp. The movie picks right up where Hatchet 1 left off, and it ends right where Hatched 3 will...

We're back this week doing another more modern day Slasher movie here at the U.  This week we're tacking Hatchet from 2006.  It's a nod to old school slashers made with more modern day special effects.  Join a group of tourists in the swamps of New Orleans.  Ben and his friend Marcus ditched out on Mardi Gras to go on a haunted swamp tour with an eclectic group of other tourist...

It's finally here!  The long-awaited Auntie Lee's Meat Pies episode.  Those of you loyal listeners who heard us tease this one a few weeks back will finally have your patience awarded.  We talked about this one a couple weeks ago, but ended up doing the April Fool's Day episode where we watched Good Burger.  Gotcha!  And after that was our collaboration with our friends at...

It's our first collaboration episode with our friends out east, Fans of the Dead Podcast.  We joined Mike and Jeremy to discuss our collective top 10 favorite 80s Slasher movies.  I mean, when you want to know about good (or bad) 80s Slashers, you come to the U.We had some beers and a great time, and we definitely plan to do it again.  Check out Fans of the Dead at their website www.

This week we got back to our roots.  It's the story of a mentally ill man who gets out of an institution and goes on a murder spree.  We're keeping it simple here at SlashU.  But this one has a few things that set it aside from other Slashers.  Our killer, George Tatum, is plagued by nightmares (thus the title of the movie), and he didn't 'escape' the institution.  He was...

Well students, we accidentally picked a movie that isn’t really a Slasher. Sorry about that, we really thought it that’s what it was when we found it. It’s ok though, we had plenty to talk about. There’s also plenty of the usual Slasher stuff; boobs, blood, drugs, you get the idea. Follow us on Instagram @SlashU_Podcast. Check out www. SlashUPodcast.com for updates.

It's time for another episode of SlashU Extra Credit, where we hit a movie made after our usual time frame of 1977-1988.  We're talking about Drive Thru from 2007.  What happens when you cross Pennywise the Clown from IT with Ronald McDonald?  You get Horny the Clown, the mascot for Hella Burger, a restaurant chain in sleepy little Blanca Carne in California.  Horny has started...

Students of SlashU, you'll have to get in touch with us and tell us if this is a parody movie or not.  Unmasked Part 25 centers around a killer named Jackson (Jason rip-off?) who has been killing and killing for a long time.  Obviously 24 movies' worth of killing to be exact, since this is Part 25.  Anyway, Jackson is wondering if that's all there is to life.  The endless killi...

We've got another whacky movie this week.  It's a slight step up from someone's student film.  It's a short and sweet 1 hour, 17 minutes from 1990, Skinned Alive.  We follow the antics of Crawldaddy's Traveling Tannery.  This insane family of slashers is made up of Ma Crawldaddy, and her kids Violet and Phink.  Together, they roam the countryside looking for victims to ski...
