The Dark Parade

And so it begins! Day 1 of Legion Podcasts’ 31 Days of Halloween is knee-deep in some series horror, and we are kicking it off with the gooey vampires of the Subspecies movies, starting, of course, with number one. Does Radu have a master plan? What’s the point of the golems? And can Stefan’s good looks save Michelle from his disgusting brother? All these questions and more posed in our first epis...

Welcome, human listeners, to another episode of this season of Pick Six Movies. We call this one “Domo Arigato,” and it’s all about movies featuring robots. In this case, a robot doll that’s supposed to fill the heart of a grieving girl named M3gan . Instead, it fills the screen with mayhem, which is perfect for us! Plus, a history of automata in movies and the return of Pick Six Bot! Thanks for l...

As part of our 26th season of Pick Six Movies, Domo Arigato, we are looking at six movies all about robots. For our second episode of this season, we are venturing into deep space with quippy robots, unclear protagonists, and a crazy German intent on defying the very laws of science and good movie-making. That’s right, it’s Walt Disney’s first foray into PG filmmaking, The Black Hole ! 00:00:00 –...

It’s a new season of Pick Six Movies, and we are getting cozy with our future robot overlords. We’re looking at six movies all about robots and what better place to start than with a movie that almost no one has seen, 1981’s Heartbeeps ! How could a movie starring Andy Kaufman and Bernadette Peters with music by John Williams be this big a stinker? Is Andy Kaufman-bot ready to be a father? And is...

For our final road trip in Season 25, Holiday Road, we are throwing on the snakeskin jacket and hitting the Yellow Brick Road with David Lynch’s Wild at Heart . Is it the artist movie we’ve seen his season? For sure. Is it the best? Well, you’ll have to tune in and find out! And prepare yourself for the sleaziest character in Pick Six history! 00:00:00 – 00:01:55 – Welcome to the Show with Chad 00...

It’s the penultimate episode of Season 25 of Pick Six Movies and we are hitting the road, the Holiday Road, that is, with Sylvester Stallone in the arm wrestling/trucking/father-son epic (?), Over the Top ! There’s a grumpy Robert Loggia, a terrible kid, lot of montages, and songs that contradict the dialogue as far as the eye can see. Join us, won’t you? 00:00:00 – 00:01:24 – Welcome to the Show...

Kate and Bo are back with a super-sized episode of Heart of Horror and a look at the erotic horror cult classic, The Hunger. Also, a look at reptilian spectres in our Ghosted segment and a trio of awful Tinder profiles with Tinder is the Flesh. When should you send a dick pic with a ruler? What’s the upside of a throuple? These questions and more answered! We’d love to hear from you! If you have a...

I’m back with a quartet of found footage movies in dire need of some science. We’ll look at three possession movies : The Final Project, The Bell Witch Haunting, and The Changing of Ben Moore , and head underground for a look at the far more legitimate horror flick, The Tunnel . Is this our swarthiest episode? All signs point to yes! Subscribe to the podcast on  iTunes here ,  Stitcher ,  Spotify...

Season 25 of Pick Six Movies is called Holiday Road, a season all about the joy of the road trip. And now we slam on the brakes to pick up this unwelcome traveler, 2007’s make of The Hitcher from the goons who did remakes of The Amityville Horror and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre . And it’s just as dumb as it sounds. Let’s ask the burning questions: Is Sean Bean too handsome to be a hitcher? How mu...

Hey there, fellow travelers! In a rare bit of good movie-watching, Pick Six Movies heads to the American Southwest with Ridley Scott and Thelma & Louise . It only took us until season 25, one we’re calling Holiday Road, to get to a legitimately great film. We have traded in the usual dumb voices for some genuine appreciation. We talk about why the movie works as well as it does, how great the...

For our second episode of Season 25, Holiday Road, we are taking a ride with Pick Six favorite Nicolas Cage as he escapes hell, hooks up with a salty waitress, and goes on the hunt for a chicken-fried cult leader in Drive Angry . There are Cage impressions, plenty of appreciation for Billy Fichts, and a look at just what makes a character actor – all in a new episode of Pick Six Movies! 00:00:00 –...

On a brand new entry in The Heart of Horror, a continuing look at sex, romance, and all the horrible things in between, we look at the David Cronenberg classic, Videodrome . Also, we bid adieu to an old friend, say hello to more spirit dating, and evaluate some truly shocking Tinder profiles. We’d love to hear from you! If you have a relationship story, reach out to us and let us know whether to i...

A bit busy here at Dark Parade HQ, so this week brings our very first non-new episode ever! I reached back into the vaults for a seldom heard Patron-only show called The Ouija Experiment Experiment in which I, along with a rotating series of guests, explored the long list of movies with “ouija” in the title. This time, Scott Crawford of The Friday Nightmares Podcast joins me for a look at The Ouij...

Turn out the lights, draw the shades, and let’s dig into some Operator-inspired...

I love a list. Recently, I ran across Dread Central ‘s list of the best found footage movies of 2022 and I thought, “Hey, let’s play some catch-up!” So, here are a trio of movies on that list we haven’t discussed: The Curse of Professor Zardonicus , Holes in the Sky: The Sean Miller Story , and The Andy Baker Tape . Let’s apply some science and see if they’re worthy of a top 10 list! Subscribe to...

On a new Heart of Horror, Kate and Bo get kinky with the slimy follow-up to Re-animator , From Beyond!

We’re doing a found footage trio with two movies of a decidedly sexy bent and a look at the found footage du jour with The Outwaters ! We apply our verified scientific criteria to SX_tape from the director of Candyman , the Brazilian social media nightmare of Baby Nymph , and dig into what makes The Outwaters like Skinamarink .

It’s time for science! A new episode of Found Footage Fool takes a look at the incredibly grim film Sorgoi Prakov . We talk about how some movies are just how to hard recommend, try to pronounce the title with varied success, and apply our list of five criteria to the movie to determine if it is a successful found footage film. Fair warning, we are talking about some extreme subject matter on this...
