The Blind Rage podcast: Horror Movie Commentaries

“DON’T FUCK WITH THE CHUCK!!!” The infamous killer doll saga continues here on The Blind Rage Podcast with 1991’s CHILD’S PLAY 3 and, of course, dedicated Chucky fanboy James Garibay is back to offer his thoughts on the flick! I’m still feeling things out in the world of podcasting, so if you notice my obnoxious voice is a bit louder than that of my co-host, it’s because I stupidly decided to reco...

It’s a commentary for NIGHT OF THE DEMONS 3. That’s all I have to say.

Celebrating 45 years of Brian de Palma’s horror classic. So, plug it up and push “play.”

Happy Friday the 13th!!! To celebrate this horror holiday, this week’s episode is dedicated to the 2009 remake. Why not the original 1980 slasher classic, you ask? Well, the answer is simple: this commentary has been collecting dust for more than six months. I figured it’s about time I get it out there, as shitty as the movie is. And don’t worry. I fully intend on tackling the original franchise....

“Sorry, Jack! Chucky’s back!” And so is my good buddy—and hardcore CHILD’S PLAY fanatic—James Garibay as we dive into 1990’s CHILD’S PLAY 2, which sees the return of the original Andy (Alex Vincent) and introduces Kyle (Christine Elise), one of the most memorable characters of the series.

In TALES FROM THE CRYPT: “Strung Along,” we’re introduced to Joe, a former children’s variety show host who is trapped in a loveless marriage with a much younger woman. As things continue to spiral downward, Joe confides in the only one he can: a marionette who was the true star of the show. A marionette who tries to convince Joe that the only way to eliminate his problems is by eliminating his wi...

“Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets…” This week on The Blind Rage Podcast, one of the best examples of contemporary Ozploitation, and to help me along, a full-blooded Australian! Tony, a.k.a. The Thunder from Down Under, is a longtime fan of THE LOVED ONES and briefly knew star Xavier Samuel before he hit the big time. Tune in for his fond remembrances of growing up in Adelaide and seeing some of Xavi...

In TALES FROM THE CRYPT: “Lover, Come Hack to Me,” we begin with an oft-used premise. Newlywed couple driving through torrential rains forced to stop after they find a felled tree blocking their path. So, what do they do? They go a-wandering and, much like our heroes in THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW, they happen upon an old dark house. Unfortunately for them, there’s no dancing Transylvanians or a...

To celebrate the re-release of EYES OF A STRANGER, I recorded a brand new commentary with my good buddy James Garibay, who’d never seen it before. While it seems like a pretty straightforward piece of slasher sleaze, there’s actually a lot of depth and innumerable complexities that make this one stand out from the majority of the horror films released around its time. Lauren Tewes (pronounced “twe...

As the saying goes, a good man is hard to find—especially after he’s been chopped into so many pieces! Hehehehehe! For this week’s TV commentary of The Blind Rage Podcast, it’s another classic episode of TALES FROM THE CRYPT. In “Split Second,” Michelle Johnson (WAXWORK, DR. GIGGLES) stars as Liz, a cocktail waitress-turned-housewife to Steve Dixon (Brion James, THE HORROR SHOW). Liz is not only b...

Uber mega Chucky fan James Garibay joins me for this week’s feature commentary: the 1988 immortal classic CHILD’S PLAY!

In “Judy, You’re Not Yourself Today,” a very unusual inclusion in the second season of TALES FROM THE CRYPT, we’re introduced to a multitude of unusual elements, including, but not limited to: a married couple who speak to each other in British accents just because, body-swapping, a score better suited for a tango lesson at the local YMCA, buried/resurrected witches, and a garish necklace with mag...

Oh boy. Hope you’re prepared because the subject of this week’s episode is a doozey. As I say in the commentary for the incredibly forgettable WEDDING SLASHERS, the entire basis for this straight-to-video cheapie is quite clearly a bad pun, since it was released so close to the box office success that was WEDDING CRASHERS. While there are some similarities between the former and the latter, they a...

I return to the crypt for this week’s TV episode of The Blind Rage Podcast! It’s impossible to describe “Operation Friendship” without lapsing into a synopsis of the early ‘90s cult classic DROP DEAD FRED because that is, in essence, what this episode is. Except there’s no Phoebe Cates or Rik Mayall and it isn’t very good. But this is well into the series and it seemed the quality was beginning to...

What happens when you take a razor-wielding helper monkey, a hideously deformed child, and a host of various insects, toss ‘em all in a blender, and mix? Well, you’d probably get a pretty goopy mess. But in the twisted world of Dario Argento, you get PHENOMENA! My good buddy James Garibay joins me for this examination of the classic Italian giallo. Starring Jennifer Connelly in a role she’d love t...

“I’m almost ready. Close your eyes…” Bringing a strange woman home is always risky. But when this strange woman has a bizarro accent and won’t come out of the bathroom unless you’ve promised her your eyes are closed…well… It’s a return to HAMMER HOUSE OF HORROR for this week’s TV episode of The Blind Rage Podcast. In “Carpathian Eagle,” a femme fatale is using a large knife in the shape of an eagl...

It’s the final week of John Waters June, so get ready to go sexin’ with Tracey Ullman, Johnny Knoxville, Chris Isaak, and Selma Blair in A DIRTY SHAME! To date, this is John’s last film and what a hoot-and-a half it is! Filled with lots of nudity, every imaginable sex act, and an oddly sensual game of The Hokey Pokey, A DIRTY SHAME has it all! Well, except a following. This isn’t a fan favorite am...

It’s a return to The Crypt for this week’s TV episode of The Blind Rage Podcast! In “Beauty Rest,” Mimi Rogers is a struggling actress who feels she’d be more successful if it weren’t for her younger, prettier roommate (Kathy Ireland). So, she resorts to murder in order to acquire a job as a spokesmodel for a strange company no one seems to know anything about. Also stars Jennifer Rubin, everyone’...

John Waters June continues on The Blind Rage Podcast! This week, Divine stars as Francine Fishpaw, wife to the philandering owner of a porn theater and mother to a pair of juvenile delinquents, one of whom is making headlines as Baltimore’s infamous Foot-Stomper! When the man of her dreams (Tab Hunter) enters the picture, it seems as though the clouds have parted…until Francine discovers his plans...

It’s a return to Elm Street for this week’s TV episode of The Blind Rage Podcast! In FREDDY’S NIGHTMARES: “Sister’s Keeper,” Lisa and Merritt, originally seen in the pilot episode, discover they’re somehow having each other’s nightmares and in order to overpower Freddy, they’ll have to be in the same dream at the same time. Or something. It’s always so hard to make heads or tails of this show.

John Waters June continues on The Blind Rage Podcast! This week, Divine stars in FEMALE TROUBLE, the story of a teenage misfit who blows a gasket on Christmas morning when she doesn’t get the cha cha heels she so covets. After an obscenity-laced tantrum, she runs away from home, setting off on a journey that leads to pregnancy, exotic dancing, facial disfigurement, and ultimately a trip to the ele...

It’s a return to TALES FROM THE CRYPT this week on The Blind Rage Podcast! In “Top Billing,” Barry (Jon Lovitz) gets much more than he bargains for when he auditions for a stage production of HAMLET in what he believes to be a rundown theater in a seedier part of the city, but is actually an asylum taken over by the inmates. It’s a classic episode co-starring John Astin, Louise Fletcher, and veter...

“KILL EVERYONE NOW! Condone first-degree murder! Advocate cannibalism! Eat shit! Filth are my politics! Filth is my life!” It’s John Waters June on The Blind Rage Podcast! Of course, I’m kicking off the festivities with PINK FLAMINGOS, the 1971 cult classic that remains one of John’s most notorious films! It’s an unusual story involving two groups of degenerates whose sole purpose in life is to be...

Growing up in a house with Alan Thicke (or even Robin Thicke) would certainly be a house of horror. But this house of horror is located across the pond and doesn’t contain any pre-recorded laugh tracks. In “Growing Pains,” episode 5 of ITC’s one-off series HAMMER HOUSE OF HORROR, we meet Laurie and Terrence, a married couple who decide to adopt a ten-year-old boy one year after their son, who just...

It’s exploitation, sexploitation, and blaxploitation all wrapped up in one hot-ass mess of a package this week on The Blind Rage Podcast! Self-proclaimed Supermodel of the World RuPaul stars as the, ahem, TITular character in STARRBOOTY, a parody of sleazy guerilla filmmaking from the ‘60s and ‘70s. After her niece is abducted, secret double-agent Starrbooty is hot on the case. When she discovers...
