Terror and Tacos

The Menu (2022). Choriqueso. We're back again to talk about The Menu, what happens when you start hating the thing you love, and the pure deliciousness of choriqueso.

Skinamarink (2022). Chorizo. Hey look, it's that door at a weird angle again. And Legos! Oh my gosh, the Legos!

Smile (2022). European coffee. We have returned! And so has the CHUD, who clearly has a great agent. We're back to talk Smile, solipsism, and getting bludgeoned to death by a weak metaphor.

Pearl (2022). Taco Palenque. We're back to eat arguably the best taco in all of Texas, delve into the process of making tamales, and to talk about Ti West's prequel to X. And the holiday theme from Jim/John Make Noise is back!

Barbarian (2022). Taquero. Does logic matter in horror? Does a Habsburg chin give you superpowers? Can you eat flan for dinner? We answer these important questions and more.

We got together on Halloween to talk about our favorite performances in horror movies and to eat delicious Dias De Los Muertos treats.

Halloween Ends (2022).

Los Ojos de Julia (2010). Can stress cause blindness? Can super attractive people disappear? What does the Hubble Telescope have to do with any of this? We set out to answer these questions and more.

Men (2022). Tacos y Mas. Is it possible to love half of a movie and utterly despise the other half? Yes. Yes, it is. Happy October!

She Will (2022). Taco Joint. We find out what happens when a movie is less than the sum of its parts, and we answer some listener questions.

Prey (2022). 8 Cloves-Spice of India. We talk about Prey, the original Predator, Amber Midthunder, and, how do you say, the absurdity of the French.

Abandoned (2022). Tortillas, butter, apple butter. Do you love the constant sound of a baby crying? Do you despise story, character, and subtlety? Are you tired of coherent rules? Abandoned is the movie for you!

The Black Phone (2022). Scalini's. We live out our latchkey kid dreams with the late-'70s set The Black Phone starring Hey, That's My Bike frontman Ethan Hawke.

Misery (1990). Taco Joint. We talk Misery, remember the legendary James Caan, and dive into toxic fandom.

X (2022). Studio 666 (2022). Coca-Cola Coffee. We are back! We talk Ti West's latest '70s-style X, the Foo Fighters' mess of a horror comedy, and July 4th. We also sample some sweet, sweet caffeine beverages.

Scream (2022). Tacos Y Mas. Italian "lobster tails." We finally review the new Scream. Reference. Reference. Reference. Self-satisfied smile at our cleverness. Credits.

Benedetta (2021). Paul Verhoeven's old-timey nun movie might not be a horror movie, but we were totally horrified by it.

Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park (1978). Snap Kitchen. We do our best to get through KISS' made-for-TV, Hanna-Barbera, Scooby Doo style "horror" movie. Mind Control! Robot KISS! All that.

Lamb (2021). We talk about folk tales, Iceland, nature, bread bowls, and the beautiful madness of the new movie, Lamb.

Spanish Christmas tortas. Interview with the Vampire (1994). Queen of the Damned (2002). Our tribute to the legendary Anne Rice and the vampire sub-genre she changed forever.

Taco Palenque. Mr. Brooks (2007). Eyes of Laura Mars (1978). Monster (2003). We talk about one of the greatest tacos ever, and try to figure out what makes a good serial killer movie. Also, the holiday theme song from Jim/John Make Noise is back!

Saint Taco. Halloween Kills (2021). To celebrate our 100th episode and Halloween, we discuss our awesome brand new sponsor, Saint Taco, and a brand new movie that never should have been made!

Rusty Taco. Whole Foods. We talk the history of Halloween, highlight listeners' favorite October movies, and breakdown the best and worst Halloween candy.
