The Grawlix Podcast

Halloween is nearly here and to celebrate we’re diving into the trashy side of horror. Yeah, it’s Troma time! We’ll take a look at some Troma films that might be light on horror but they are heavy on that toxic Troma goodness. Randy gets romantic with Tromeo and Juliet , Melanie sings the praises of Cannibal: The Musical , and Jesse actually brings the horror vibes with Blood Junkie . Before all t...

You know what’s scary? The past. Like, the 1800s and earlier. You know what’s more scary? The past but with ghosts and the Wendigo. Well, okay, people have believed in these things for ages but in horror movies they get to actually exist. This week we’re looking at Historical Horror films. You know, creepy period pieces. We discuss the Vincent Price classic, The Masque of the Red Death , 1999’s un...

More horror movie monsters! This week we discuss doll horror. No, not puppet horror. We did creepy puppets last year . We’re specifically talking evil, demonic, and downright nasty dolls here. With the USA / SyFy Chucky series debuting this week it’s only fair the sub-genre’s poster boy takes center stage with our thoughts on Child’s Play 3 and Cult of Chucky . Meanwhile, Melanie brings in the tru...

Monster of the Week returns! Except now it’s simply Horror Sub-Genre of the Week. This episode we focus on horror comedies including Evil Dead II , Slither , and Idle Hands .

We also marvel at the casting news for Nintendo's upcoming Super Mario Bros. movie. Chris Pratt? Mario? Of course, that's just...

Hey, you see that new Spider-Man trailer? Yeah, you did. Everyone did. It broke trailer view records. We like that ol’ Spider-guy fine but were not expecting to get so hyped for Spider-Man: No Way Home . We did, though, so on this episode we talk about it. We also discuss the new Hugh Jackman sci-fi thriller, Reminiscence . This movie is taking a bit of a beating but is it really worthy of a 38% o...

Westworld Season 4 promises “New Worlds”, The Witcher spin-offs abound, and is it not our turn to say #NotMyHe-Man? This episode we return to REACT AT THE NEWS! The new He-Man and the Masters of the Universe trailer gives us something to talk about. Mainly, that after the backlash Revelation received we’ve heard no backlash against this newest iteration that doesn’t resemble the property at all. U...

On this live episode we review James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad . Jesse took the night off but still joins Melanie and Randy in spirit (or rather, in the live chat) as the duo shower Gunn’s twisted DC debut with praise… mostly. This may be the first DC film in a long time to get unanimous praise from the whole G-Crew. But is it being a DC film really that relevant? Don’t worry, this is surprisingly...

Trailer talk, movie news, and what we’ve been watching. This episode of our weekly live show is a grab bag of entertainment goodness. We catch up on Rick and Morty Season 5 and Good Omens. Randy and Melanie recommend Shadow and Bone Season 1 and discovered that everyone is right, the animated Harley Quinn series is pretty good! Randy’s new Who rewatch has taken him into the Chibnall era of Doctor...

Last week, Netflix debuted “part 1” of Masters of the Universe: Revelation and all the angry fanboys collectively lost their minds. How dare Kevin Smith focus on a guuuurl in their He-man cartoon? How dare they attempt to inject character arcs, world progression, and a narrative that might actually (but didn’t really) have some kind of stakes? It was a WHITE hot fury that burned quickly. Like, rea...

On this live, unedited episode of Grawlix Nights we learn the truth about Sarah Fier as we discuss Fear Street Part 3: 1666 . Did Netflix stick the landing on the finale of the Fear Street trilogy? We do our best to avoid spoilers during our review. We also discuss the stylish though derivative action flick, Gunpowder Milkshake . It’s basically John Wick but with a solid cast of predominantly fema...

The finale of Marvel’s Loki is here! Did Mobius ever get his jet ski? Is it weird for variants to kiss? What could a Loki season 2 look like?

We also review Netflix’s Fear Street Part 2: 1978 , Katla , and the somewhat controversial The Hunt . Enjoy! Originally s...

On this live, unedited episode of Grawlix Nights we continue the weekly reviews of Marvel’s Loki . That’s a lot of Loki, you might be thinking. Well, that just so happens to be what episode 5 of Loki has… a lot of Loki. Multiple Loki from kid to classic. Last week the Disney+ series left us pensive about what was to come. So did this week give us what we were hoping for or did it vear right off th...

For the first time during it’s run we’ve become nervous about where Marvel’s Loki is headed. Loki Episode 4 certainly seems like a turning point for the Disney+ series but we really, really liked the road it was on. This episode we share our thoughts, concerns, and a little speculation on the series. All we know for certain is Loki-gator awaits! Enjoy! Originally streamed live July 1st, 2021 via F...

The MCU goes full-on Doctor Who with Loki Episode 3 and we’re not complaining! In fact, the Disney+ series may have out Doctor Who-ed Doctor Who. Chibi, take notes! As you may have guessed, we continue the weekly Loki reviews with our thoughts on Episode 3. We also wrap up Netflix’s Sweet Tooth Season 1 with our overall thoughts on the still tonally confusing, uncanny valley nightmare inducing ser...

It’s that time, again! Time to talk TV & movies. Speaking of time, Marvel’s Loki episode 2 is this week’s featured topic. Did Loki really develop as a character last episode or will he be up to his old tricks, again? We try to avoid SPOILERS but when they do drop they drop without warning. If you haven’t watched episode 2 yet keep that in mind! On the news front, we discuss a trailer for a new...

Classic sci-fi, alternate timeline shenanigans and tonally confusing post-apocalyptic fantasy!

Jesse recently read the first volume of Jeff Lemire’s Sweet Tooth so he fills us in on some of the differences between the show and the comic book. Well, without jump...

We’ve been banging through a ton of good entertainment lately so let’s talk about it! For the feature segment this episode we focus on Netflix’s Love, Death, and Robots Season 2 . A considerably shorter season compared to the animated anthology’s debut outing but sometimes less is...

Netflix is considering rolling out a new service it’s calling N-Plus. So, what exactly is N-Plus? It seems that Netflix doesn’t even know yet but they’ve been sending out surveys to random customers gauging interest in every potential feature. Coincidentally, just recently we were discussing features we wish the streaming services would adopt. Well, Randy happened to be one of those random custome...

Originally streamed live April 29th, 2021 via Facebook Live , Twitch , and Y...

What happens when you can’t decide between a superhero movie, a young adult film, and a horror flick? Apparently a film so forgettable the movie studio almost forgot to release it. Is The New Mutants really that bad and what happened behind the scenes that delayed it’s release for years? Well, it just hit HBO Max so we decided to find out. Also, feeds his Mortal Kombat excitement with the 2020 ani...

One cut to rule them all. Okay, okay, okay. On with it. This episode we finally review Zack Snyder’s Justice League. Did it indeed suuuuuck? Did we like it? Was it an improvem...
