The Blind Rage podcast: Horror Movie Commentaries

As fun as it is to kick back with a little body count butchery, it’s always nice to switch things up a bit. With movies like (2007’s TEETH, Austin and I are able to dissect and analyze the motives of a character, with much more on their mind than slicing and dicing. Dawn is a young woman coming of age. Unfortunately, she is forced to come to terms with an unusual affliction. The myth of vagina den...

“Come on downstairs. I wanna see my number-one birthday boy…” This week on The Blind Rage Podcast, Austin sits down with me to watch the 2014 Eli Roth-produced CLOWN. Next to Stephen King’s immortal classic IT, I dare to say this is the only other killer clown story, at least to my knowledge, that has something more to the story than simply a painted-face loony knocking people off. There are multi...

Austin and Tony join me for IF I DIE BEFORE I WAKE, a 1998, rarely-seen straight-to-video home-invasion thriller (good grief, that’s a lot of hyphens), starring Muse Watson of I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER playing, of course, the lead bad guy (clearly not a classically-trained actor). Shot in 1996, this hidden gem pre-dates FUNNY GAMES, THE STRANGERS, HIGH TENSION, YOU’RE NEXT, DON’T BREATHE, an...

Without a proper heads-up, Andy (Corey Feldman) transfers to the university of his long-term girlfriend, who, much to his surprise, isn’t happy to see him. It’s clear he hasn’t planned ahead, since he shows up on campus with nothing more than a backpack and no place to stay. Taking her suggestion, Andy decides to pledge a fraternity. Unbeknownst to him, this particular frat consists of voodoo-prac...

Charlie Glover returns to The Blind Rage Podcast to discuss Fred Olen Ray’s 1988 cult classic HOLLYWOOD CHAINSAW HOOKERS, starring two Scream Queen all-stars, Linnea Quigley and Michelle Bauer, as well as the original Leatherface himself, Gunnar Hansen!

Fellow indie author Charlie Glover joins me this week on The Blind Rage Podcast to dive into CHAOS, David DeFalco’s unofficial remake of Wes Craven’s 1971 grindhouse classic THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT. Not to be confused with the 2005 Jason Statham film of the same name, CHAOS follows LAST HOUSE pretty closely, however, the violence and brutality are cranked up to 11, making this, in my opinion, a...

You can’t piss on hospitality? Really? Wish I’d known. I’d been whipping it out and watering dining room tables for years. As if you couldn’t have guessed, this week’s episode of The Blind Rage Podcast is dedicated to TROLL 2, considered the best worst movie ever made. It’s also the introduction of Austin Tyler, one of Provincetown’s champions of drag culture. In addition to sharing his love for T...

“It’s time to be one of us. It’s time to be…remembered.” Tony the Tiger joins me for another edition of The Blind Rage Podcast. This week’s commentary is 2014’s STARRY EYES, a deep cut I probably wouldn’t have learned about, had it not been recommended by someone in a Facebook group. The film is centered around Sarah, a budding LA actress, who learns just how far she is willing to go in order to m...

On this week’s goofy-as-hell episode of The Blind Rage Podcast, we visit a gym we’re the clients are pumping iron not to stay in shape, but to stay alive. In 1987’s KILLER WORKOUT, we have a crazed maniac picking off the spandex-clad aerobics enthusiasts with a giant safety pin. Why? Probably because it was the ‘80s and everyone was too coked-up to realize what a ludicrous idea this was. As bad as...

“Some folks got a strange idea of entertainment.” For this week’s episode of The Blind Rage Podcast, Jed and me decided to take another road trip. With all the shenanigans going on at Crystal Lake, we thought we’d try someplace new. Forest Green seemed like a good idea…until we discovered everyone’s favorite hockey mask-sporting madman decided to relocate. I wonder what made him move… FRIDAY THE 1...

On this week’s episode of The Blind Rage Podcast, Jed and me dive headfirst into an experiment in pure ineptitude. While regarded as a cult classic, there’s no denying how downright stupid 1982’s PIECES truly is. After a while, it isn’t even fun to make fun of anymore. Nevertheless, we sure as hell tried.

This week on The Blind Rage Podcast, Tony, James, and me get together to watch a favorite among the three of us: the 1996 teen classic THE CRAFT. Since we all have such a strong affinity for this one, the commentary was a blast to record. Personally, I think it’s one of the best episodes so far. Enjoy.

It’s another fan favorite this week on The Blind Rage Podcast. The Fede Alvarez reboot of THE EVIL DEAD was so much better than I thought it was going to be. I’m surprised I had any doubts at all, being that the project got the seal of approval from Sam Raimi and “Ash” himself, Bruce Campbell. This 2013 interpretation of the cult classic goes above and beyond to unnerve, unsettle, and assault the...

“Shut up and eat your fuckin’ slop.” This week on The Blind Rage Podcast, Jed and I are packing up to once again return to Crystal Lake—despite the fact that there’s some crazy booger running around STILL killing people. Hey, we like to live dangerously. I’m a longtime apologist of A NEW BEGINNING. I think it’s a hell of a fun ride, with some gruesome kills, interesting (albeit underdeveloped) cha...

As even occasional listeners should know, I’m not at all shy about my total disdain for Rob Zombie movies. I consider his 2007 HALLOWEEN incarnation of HALLOWEEN to be one of the worst genre films I’ve ever seen. So, I recruited James to spend two hours riffing on how utterly brainless it is. But HALLOWEEN is so ridiculously bad that it isn’t even fun to make fun of, and quite the chore to reach t...

It doesn’t get much sleazier than this… DEADGIRL tells the story of two teenage boys, who happen upon a woman who appears to be dead in the caverns of an abandoned hospital. What slowly unravels is a pretty twisted story, comprised of sexual depravity and a litany of bad decisions. You’ll definitely need a shower after this one.

This week on The Blind Rage Podcast, Tony and I explore Frank Henenlotter’s criminally underseen 2008 exploitation classic BAD BIOLOGY. When it came to the film’s production, everything that could possibly go wrong pretty much did. Even still, Frank, as well as underground rapper R.A. The Rugged Man, churned out one of the most oddly brilliant cult films of the ‘00s.

It’s a FRIDAY THE 13th fan favorite this week on The Blind Rage Podcast! In THE FINAL CHAPTER, we get lots of Tom Savini makeup effects, some horrendously bad dancing, and Corey Feldman before he completely flipped his greasy wig. Grab an overnight bag because we’re going back to Crystal Lake!

This week on The Blind Rage Podcast, James Garibay sits down with me to finish the CHILD’S PLAY franchise with 2017’s CULT OF CHUCKY. Can’t say it’s my favorite installment, but it’s head and shoulders above SEED—and no, I don’t mean the dandruff shampoo/conditioner. That reminds me. I have some shopping to do. Enjoy the episode while I’m gone.

This week on The Blind Rage Podcast, we’re packing our bags and heading to Crystal Lake, which makes absolutely no sense, seeing as how so many people have been brutally murdered there. But you know me, I like to live dangerously. Jason fanatic Jed Shaffer joints me on this jolly jaunt back to the land of our tragic villain. FRIDAY THE 13TH, PART 3 is notable for being the first, and only, entry i...

This week on The Blind Rage Podcast, Tony the Tiger returns for the 2007 Jamie Blanks Ozploitation flick STORM WARNING. It’s kind of like “The Three Little Pigs,” if the classic fairytale were filled with unpredictable Aussie rednecks, sexual assault, and bloody vengeance. Oh and baby kangaroos!

Tony the Tiger returns to The Blind Rage Podcast to watch the 1984 cult classic ANGEL, starring Donna Wilkes, John Dihel, and Susan Tyrell. At the time of its release, this sleazy exploitation flick made a pretty penny for New World Pictures. Not at all surprising. It’s got one of the best promotional campaigns I’ve ever seen. They truly don’t make poster ads like this anymore.
