The Gory Gays

We'd like to consider Episode 38 our "Summer Blockbuster" film, and for the following reasons: a) it's mostly an action film b) Pierce Brosnan c) it's not TWISTERS d) refer to "c" Everyone tune in now as we slash up and bleed out our first natural disaster flick - and a collective fav, as it turns out - DANTE'S PEAK (1997), directed by Roger Donaldson and co...

Welcome back to Episode 37 of The Gory Gays , bloody babies! We’re discussing Peter Jackson’s entirely insane 1992 comedy-splatter film, DEAD ALIVE (aka BRAINDEAD) — a movie so gory that it’s almost shocking. Listen now as we (Alex and Stanley, in case you've forgotten... it has been a minute!) slash up and bleed out this crazy ass film (meaning yes, lots of spoilers), as well as give our two...

We're closing out Pride Month with another lesbian-thriller for all of our gory gaybies. LOVE LIES BLEEDING (2024) is the second directorial effort from Rose Glass, and we'll just tell you now, it's everything you might want and more from a bloody queer vehicle driven by Kristen Stewart, with Katy O'Brian riding shotgun and Ed Harris and Jena Malone in the backseat. What a fuck...

We told you last week we had you covered for Pride, and don’t we ever? WHAT KEEPS YOU ALIVE (2018) is an intense queer horror thriller made just for US! Filled with broken bones, lots of blood, great music, and two stellar lead performances that will certainly make you feel something. Also, we slash up our Monsterpalooza ‘24 experience, as well as our thoughts on the new theatrical release IN A VI...

We’re kicking off Pride Month with a real one for ya: and that would be Caye Casa’s very, very dark and very, very disturbing Spanish film, THE COFFEE TABLE (released in the States in 2024, but in its home country in 2022)… and while it may not have much to with anything LGBTQ-related (don’t worry, we gotchu soon), there’s still plenty to slash up and bleed out, including but not limited to bad re...

“ Do not adjust your set. ” We didn't even realize until this very episode, episode 33, that we haven't covered a current theatrical release yet! So, here you go: LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL (2024) -- it came out just a couple of months ago, and now, you can watch it in the comfort (or discomfort, however you decide to watch your horror) of your own home [we like Shudder] -- listen now as...

“ They never forget their mama.” Happy (late) Mama’s Day to  all those Mom’s out there! To honor all of ‘em, we give you our audio commentary for what we consider to be one of the greatest horror movies to be made (for a number of reasons), and that would be MOTHER’S DAY (1980). Listen to Alex and Stanley slash up and bleed out this fan-fav right now! The watch-a-long is available on YouTube… You’...

" If you're lucky, you die first ." Alex and Stanley conclude their Salty Sequels theme with the much-better-than-it-should-be THE STRANGERS: PREY AT NIGHT (2018)! Baby Scream Queen-in-the-making Bailee Madison stars (just ask her) as a whiny teen who is fighting for her life in a secluded trailer park, targeted by the masked assailants from the first movie, who are still looking fo...

" In October of 1994, three student filmmakers disappeared in the woods near Burkittsville, Maryland while shooting a documentary called ‘The Blair Witch Project’. A year later their footage was found." Episode 30 + Lonnie's Lottery = THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT (1999) Easily one of the greatest horror films ever made, join us, Alex and Stanley, as we slash up and bleed out this classic...

“In 1957, Mary Lou Maloney went up in flames. Now she’s back… and she’s burning mad.” We're back, and we don’t think there’s a saltier sequel out there than HELLO MARY LOU: PROM NIGHT II (1987) -- and here’s why: Mary Lou Maloney, baby! Plain and simple ! Tune in to Episode 29 today as Alex and Stanley slash up and bleed out everything #PromNightII, from the crazy eighties hairstyles, the met...

Salty Sequel Month moves forward with POLTERGEIST II: THE OTHER SIDE (1986)! Set one year after the events of the first movie, the Freeling Fam have relocated to Arizona to get on with their lives, but of course, the ghosts of Cueste Verde aren’t finished with li’l Carole Anne just yet so they’ve followed them there in the form of the scary-ass Reverend Kane. Join us as we talk cursed movies, Zolo...

We have another 25th birthday in the house with another underrated sequel -- 1999's THE RAGE: CARRIE 2, starring Emily Bergl as the half-sister of Sissy Spacek's iconic Carrie, a troubled girl trying to keep her supernatural powers under wrap while trying to fend off a group of evil popular kids. It's actually better than it has any right being (we think) -- so join us as we talk St...

Alex and Stanley are inserting their favorite gooey beta-cassette’s into each others stomach-slits this week (watch the movie) to slash up and bleed out Daddy Cronenberg’s visually stunning and self-aware horror opus VIDEODROME (1983) — starring a beautiful (but underused) Debbie Harry as a sexy radio host and James Wood as a producer of a sleazy cable network, both of whom become involved with a...

Happy St. Patrick's Day from us to you! Enjoy our audio commentary on the fourth entry in the LEPRECHAUN series: IN SPACE! Who would have thought? And also... dare we say that we kind of had fun? HA! These films are definitely hit or miss, but this one has a little bit of something for everyone we think: bad special space effects, terrible elementary make-up, soap actors who would probably fa...

Have no fear, gory babies, because we’re back with a new episode! Forgive the horrific lag - Stanley’s been zombified — but he’s better now and he and Alex are more than thrilled to slash up and bleed out Brandon Cronenberg’s INFINITY POOL (2023) - and what a perfect movie to begin March Madness at The Gory Gays! It's weird, has gobs of gore and nudity, and it's trashy, so of course we l...

Our “Love Hurts” month ends with the Geoffrey Wright-directed CHERRY FALLS (1999), which celebrates its 25th birthday this year (kind of — listen to the episode for more on that.) Brittany Murphy stars in this controversial and heavily tampered with slasher about a serial killer in a small town targeting virgins, causing the local teens to fight back and have a crazy sex party to get themselves of...

We’re  back with another John Carpenter classic, and that would be 1982's chilly creature feature, THE THING -- starring everyones favorite Kurt Russell (and his beard) as a bad-ass helicopter pilot fighting a shapeshifting entity in Alaska... err, Antarctica. This is our second selection from Lonnie's Board, a first time-watch for both of us (Stanley had only ever seen half of it) and y...

For Valentine's Day, we invite you to sit down and watch THE LOVE WITCH (2016) with us! It's been a minute since the last time we did an audio commentary, and while this movie may not seem very fitting for a horror podcast, it was still fun to slash up and bleed out on this gory little day of bleedin' hearts (or in this case, the day after!) For those of you who have seen this weird...

We’re so proud to give to you guys our 20th episode — and the fact that we get to utilize it to talk about THE BLACKCOAT’S DAUGHTER (2015) makes it all the more exciting (if you didn't know, it's one of Stanley's all-time favorites!) We’ll keep this short and sweet so you just listen to the episode — but we WILL tell you that this is a must-watch, and we hail it a damn perfect movie...

And just like that, we're in the month of love, and we're starting things off with a (kinda) sexy, (kinda) insane bang: 2018's " Cam " -- written by former cam girl Isa Mazzei. This is a (kinda) dark exploration into the life of a cam performer named Alice, played to perfection by Emmy nominee Madeline Brewer, who's life is shaken to the core when her identity is stol...

We don't think " Hereditary " (2018) needs any sort of introduction, so just give this ol' episode a listen if you want to hear us talk everything Toni Collette (she was robbed of an Oscar nod, and we don't think anyone would disagree with us on this), everything Paimon (Alex is an expert apparently, which should come to no one's surprise), and we also get down with A...

INCIDENT IN A GHOSTLAND (2018) is a weird little movie that we believe didn't achieve what it originally intended to, but it still brought enough to the table for us to slash up and bleed out for you so join us this week as we talk dope doll-costumes, awesome isolated house set pieces, pastels, home invasions done right, BUT how ignorant writing can almost make a movie unwatchable... we'...

Today we’re revving up our Plymouth Fury’s and talking about John Carpenter’s 1983 take on Stephen King’s novel, CHRISTINE— a fine little tale about a boy and his car. Of course, there’s a little more to it than just that (we have two masters of horror coming together behind one possessed wheel and perhaps a wee bit too many homoerotic undertones!) so you better believe there’s a lot to talk about...

Happy New Year's, Gory Goons! We're happy to be here at the stroke of midnight on the 'eve of 2024 to give you a " Midnight Kiss " (2019) -- and how fun slash convenient is this?! No, seriously... this episode is dropping at MIDNIGHT on New Year's Day of 2024... making you, our listeners, our midnight kiss .. get it?... did we have to explain it? Well, we did, and you...

Merry, Gory Christmas to all! Six Weeks Of Holiday Horror comes to a terrifying conclusion with " Black Christmas " (1974) -- and we're not sure that it needs any further explanation. Maybe you should just listen to the episode. This movie paved the way for movies like " Scream " and " Halloween " -- and we can't ham it up enough! We talk Olivia Hussey'...
