The Buzzed Kill Podcast

Episode 196 - Hardcore Dancing In The Grindhouse Theater If you had a time machine, what year would you visit? Where would you go? What would you do? Would you go back and watch the moon landing? Maybe, check out Ancient Rome? Perhaps you would go back and watch the Beatles play at the height of Beatlemania. Not us though. We know we’re going. Back to the 1970’s, to the seedy, sleazy, probably sti...

Episode 195 - Maybe He's Born With It, Maybe It's Somebody Else's Face Texas Chainsaw Massacre Retrospective Part 2 RBF. We all know what it looks like. We all know someone afflicted with it. We all know that it can cause people to form an unfair negative first impression of you. Yes, Resting Bitch Face is certainly no joke, and it is a growing problem among men and women alike. Some insensitive p...

Episode 194 - Cold Brew-tality Things have been getting pretty toasty around here lately. Like 100° with 98% humidity toasty. We have a saying here in Michigan that goes, “I mean, you can try taking a cold shower, but you’re still gonna have swamp ass in about 10 minutes.” Ok, so it’s not so much a saying as it is an observation on the effectiveness of attempted cooling techniques during a Michiga...

EP 193 - Love The Skin You're In: A Texas Chainsaw Massacre Retrospective Part 1 The podcast which you are about to hear, is an account of the tragedy which befell a group of two "youths", in particular James Baird, and his inebriated friend, Michael. It is all the more tragic in that they were... sort of young. But, had they lived very, very sober lives, they could not have expected, nor would th...

Episode 192 - Boarding School Blues We’ve never personally experienced what it’s like to get sent to boarding school, but it seems like a pretty strange experience. Being sent away from your family at a young age to live with strangers, and worship the devil. Getting used to your new roommate, who is the daughter of a movie star, a somnambulist who dreams in heavy metal, and also can telepathicall...

Episode 191 - Drink-In and Drive-In For most of us the drive-in theater is a symbol of a bygone era. We see them featured in old movies and tv shows. We hear our parents tell stories of going on drive-in dates in their classic cars. In fact, there are even conflicting reports on whether James was conceived in the back of a Chevy LUV truck at the drive-in, or in a garage during his sisters second b...

EP 190 - Kill Me Quigley: Actor Spotlight: Linnea Quigley Chainsaws, Egyptian gods, hard-boiled detectives, motor oil drinking hooker cults, Dukey Flyswatter, razor blade apples, abandoned funeral parlors, young boys preoccupied with their own sister’s bodacious boobies, demons, lipstick tubes disappearing into nipples. What do all of these things have in common? That’s right, they’re all possible...

Episode 189 - Getting Railed After Midnight With everything going the way it is right now, it’s no surprise that we’ve heard some people say that they’re thinking about catching the last train out of this place. That’s all well and good, and if you’re looking to get out of dodge, we totally understand. We just want to suggest maybe you hop on one of the earlier trains though. Like, you can still l...

Episode 188 - Dinner Special At The Rainforest Cafe Hey, what’s eating you, buddy? That’s a pretty normal question, that usually has a pretty normal answer. Not this week though, because it’s not so much about WHAT is eating us, but rather WHO is eating us. In the horror genre, that can have any number of fun answers. This week it’s the locals who have us on the menu, and they look hungry. They’re...

Episode 187 - What A Richard! - Directors Spotlight: Richard Stanley Typically when you say that someone is an absolute Richard, it’s meant as an insult. Like, “Don’t be such a Richard”, or “why don’t you ingest a satchel of Richards”, but every once in awhile an absolute Richard comes around and changes the entire meaning. Such is the case with the director in this week’s spotlight, the enigmatic...

Episode 186 - Bad Brew: House Of The Dead What can we say about this week’s movie pick? What can we say? No, seriously.... what can we say? We honestly can’t find the words. You’re about to listen to a two hour long episode of us staring at each other in stunned silence. Every once in awhile there may be a slight nervous giggle that devolves into a sob of anguish, or a sharp, frustration-filled ex...

Episode 185 - The Dark Side Of The Room With as many horror movies as we watch, we’re not ashamed to admit that we’re scared of the dark. Sure, it has affected our relationships with other people, and yes we do still have to sleep with a nightlight, and yes at the age of 34, Mike still pisses his pants if his cellphone goes into power save mode and dims slightly on an overcast day, but we deal wit...

Episode 184 - Bad Brew: Jupiter Ascending Mila Kunis scrubbing toilets, whispering almost every line, and asking too many questions. Channing Tatum with a blonde goatee, pointy ears, gravity-defying roller skates, and a gun that sounds like a barking dog. Futuristic space yuppies, bathing in human goo to stay young. Sean Bean actually surviving until the end. No, we are not describing what Mike th...

Episode 183 - A Little Ruff Around The Edges Dogs. Man’s best friend, right? Sure, but we get the sense that some people are mislead by that title. Anyone with a best friend knows that sooner or later, no matter how close you are, you’re going to have a pretty major fight. Lord knows we’re no stranger to that situation. For instance, just last week, I refused to give Mike the leftovers from my ste...

Episode 182 - The Devil Is In The Diapers It's day number 670,000 of lockdown, and we all seem to be learning a lot about the people we live with. Like, maybe you found out that your roommate always starts the day off with thirty-seven push-ups, no more no less, or that every morning your husband listens to "Feels So Good" by Chuck Mangione while he's in the shower. Perhaps you finally figured out...

Episode 181 - Hopped Up On Easter Spirit! When you think about it, Easter really is the perfect holiday for horror fans. Dead guys rising from the grave, freakishly huge animals, breaking into your house at night to leave your children candy, and hide colorful chicken fetuses all over your house. And don’t forget the most horrifying part of all. Having to spend an entire day Sunday with your mom’s...

Episode 180 - A Nice Pair Of Crocs We get why people are afraid of Crocs. They definitely get a bad rap everywhere you see them. We don’t personally understand all the hate though. They’re really quite beautiful when you take the time to appreciate them for what they are. They come in all sizes and amazing colors, they have interesting patterns and markings, a sleek, timeless design. They’re comfo...

Episode 179 - The Podcast That Dreaded Lockdown It’s actually pretty easy to draw some parallels between our current lockdown situation, and this week’s movie selections, The Town That Dreaded Sundown 1977 & 2014. People are holed up in their houses, afraid to step outside because an unseen menace threatens their safety. The communal sense of safety and trust has crumbled away amongst strangers, f...

Episode 178 - Full Term Terror When we conceived the idea for this week's show, we knew that we were stepping into fertile horror territory. We weren't sure if these films would give birth to a fruitful conversation, but we were willing to watch them anyway, because it's a labor of love. We did consider not doing the show this week, in light of the current pandemic, but we're glad that we didn't a...

Episode 177 - The Concept Of The Kill *takes cigarette out of mouth* “You see, In order for one to truly conceptualize their work, it is of the utmost importance that every detail be thoroughly thought out before brush touches canvas, before chisel touches marble, before duct tape touches banana. The meaning behind the work transcends the work itself, thus the execution becomes little more than a...

Episode 176 - This Old House We’re thinking about buying a house. Not just any house though. We want something with history. A nice, big, old house with creaky bones that tell us a story every time we walk through a room. Of course, we are aware of all the obvious pitfalls of moving into an old house. Foundation issues, drafty windows, leaky pipes, ghosts of murdered children, termite damage, lead...

Episode 175 - Klaatu Beer-ada Nikto: Ash Vs Evil Dead Retrospective Part 2 Ash Vs. Evil Dead Season 2 is a proprietary mix of demons and spirits, garnished with chainsaws and um... shotguns. Oh, and... there's a shit ton of Ketamine in it. eh haaa haaa ha. That's right, The King and his crew are back in Ash's home town of Elk Grove Michigan for a second round with evil. Being the proper Michigande...

Episode 174 - Fight Like A Girl Our grandpa always used to say to us, “There’s three things you need to know about women. They’re faster than us, they can smell fear, and if you give them a reason, they’ll kill you quicker than your can spit.” He did drink a lot though, so we’re pretty sure he was actually referring to mountain lions, but just to be cautious we always kept those three things in mi...

Episode 173 - Taking A Lycan To You What’s our idea of a perfect Valentine’s Day date? We rent a quaint little cabin in the middle of nowhere, and bring everything we need for a lovely evening. At dinner you make ask if our steak isn’t cooked enough. “No, I like my meat rare, but I think I’m ready for dessert.” As we playfully nibble your finger. “Oh my, you’re an animal.” You say. “Sweetheart, yo...

EP 172 - Who The F*** Is Doug??? It's bigger, badder, stranger, and Hell...ier. Season 2 of the Planet Weird original docu-series is back and the high strangeness abounds. We catch up with the crew as they descend further into the cavernous mysteries of season 1, but this time, equipped with new information, new tools, and old gods, they continue their hunt for the truth. Guided by enigmatic Mike...
