The Grawlix Podcast

For once we actually get right to the featured topic and the featured topic this episode is REACT AT THE NEWS! We cover the week’s notable TV & movie news. Wait… no Justice League talk? Originally streamed the day Zack Snyder’s Justice League dropped we opted to give ourselves time to digest that 4 hour intestinal blockage. So, next episode we’ll dive deep into Snyder’s DC swan song. This epis...

We just can’t help ourselves, can we? This was meant to simply be an episode recapping our thoughts on Disney Marvel’s WandaVision now that the series has concluded. And we do, of course! We catch up on the final two episodes of WandaVision , talk about the series as a whole, and how the finale left us. But wait, there’s more! Melanie and Randy have been on a bit of a movie binge! The crew all fin...

On this episode we REACT AT THE NEWS. Our favorite old school Flash to return to TV in Stargirl season 2. Also, Stargirl is a thing. A new live-action Superman movie is in the works but not the Superman you might be expecting. Oh, and Hollywood is finally remaking a movie that SHOULD be remade and Edgar Wright is attached to direct! Plus, the Mortal Kombat trailer broke the internet (as the kids s...

For our Valentine’s Day special live stream a week ago we celebrated the Hallmark holiday in the most romantic way we could think of…. by talking about serial killers! LIST EPISODE! We discuss 10 killer couples in film. While a few of the expected picks are there, like Mickey and Mallory Knox from Natural Born Killers, we also tried to the outside the box of chocolatey goodness for some picks that...

Once again, the Recent Viewing segment dominates the show with the focus topic being WandaVision . The G-Crew catch up on the MCU Disney+ series with their thoughts on WandaVision episodes 3 through 6. Melanie and Randy also discuss a pair of mind-bending films. First, it’s a strong recommend for the psychological horror-thriller (comedy?) The Lighthouse , starring Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinso...

On this episode the Recent Viewing segment unexpectedly takes over the show. As is tradition, we’ve waited an unfashionably long time to finally review a Star Wars movie with a our thoughts on Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker . We also finally get around to talking about Blumhouse’s unique take on The Invisible Man . Randy and Melanie discover a directorial duo worth following in Justin Benson and...

Matty D. of the  60s Reboot Podcast joins the Grawlix Podcast crew to discuss the first two episodes of Marvel’s WandaVision series. Is the Disney+ series an interesting move within the MCU or a thin gimmack? How does it compare to the actual 50s/60s TV classics it is aping? Where is all this going? The only way we could answer such questions was with a 60s Reboot Podcast crossover episode! We als...

On this episode we're talking about women villains. Specifically, a TV series, a movie, and a short film featuring female antagonists. Jesse discusses one of the best Doctor Who episodes featuring the Doctor's arch nemesis in female form, Missy. Melanie tells us about Catcalls, a 2020 short film, and Randy raves about Sky High, a 2005 Disney superhero flick that took him by surprise. Enjoy! Origin...

Happy New Year! What a new year it’s been already, right? For the 2021 New Year’s episode we decided to skip the usual retrospective on the previous year, for obvious reasons. Instead, we’ve got a brand new blockbuster comic book movie AND new episode of Doctor Who to talk about. We get far more heated during our Wonder Woman 1984 review than anyone probably expected. However, we found ourselves p...

Happy Holidays, ya’ old building and loan! It’s the time of year to bust out the Jimmy Stewart impressions, mix in a bit of Randy Savage because it’s all pizza, and fire up your favorite Christmas classics. And by Christmas classics we mean horror movies, of course. Yes, it’s the gift that keeps giving… the Monster of the Week segment! We gathered the whole Grawlix Podcast and Grawlix Cinematic Un...

Yee haw! This episode we’ve got so much merriment you’ll squeal like a pig. First, for this week’s horror movie Monster of the Week we plunged deep into the backwoods and swamps of rural America. And Slovenia. And South Wales, apparently. Listen, every country has their own version of the hillbilly and that’s the theme of this episode. Hixploitation! Randy talks moonshine and lederhosen with Slove...

Forget the news, forget #SnyderWatch, it’s time to talk slashers! Loveable, bloodthirsty, teen stalking, serial killers are this episode’s Monster of the Week. It’s not all horror films, though, because we’re also joined by comic book writer/artist Robert Geronimo . Robert discusses his ongoing comic series Blood Realm (hear our original review of Blood Realm Vol. 1 back on Grawlix Podcast #88 )....

The Monster of the Week this episode is infestations or pests so it’s about to get creepy crawly. Jesse rounds out a trifecta of out-there actors following Nicolas Cage and Christopher Walken in recent episodes with the 2003 remake of Willard , starring Crispin Glover. Melanie gets campy with a better than expected 2009 horror comedy Infestation and Randy discusses the truly bizarre Dario Argento...

Halloween may be over but the horror show that is 2020 continues to lumber forward so we’ve decided to keep the Monster of the Week segments going! With everything going on here in the states we decided the only appropriate monster to discuss was… government. So, each of us discuss a different political or government themed film. Randy revisits the wonderfully dry and poignant wit of In The Loop ....

Are you ready for Cage Fight round 2!? For our un-Halloween-like Halloween Monster of the Week episode we opened our eyes wide and gazed into the vast expanse that is Nicolas Cage. Jesse paid the ghost with the fairly subdued Nicolas Cage horror film, Pay the Ghost . What wasn’t subdued was the entertainingly awful hidden gem that is Between Worlds that both Randy and Melanie watched. Could this b...

It was only a matter of time till we got to them…. PUPPETS! Evil puppets and dolls are this episode’s horror movie monster of the week. Melanie talks about Chucky’s AI smart assistant makeover in 2019’s Child Play . Jesse discusses the Puppet Master franchise’s first solo character spinoff with Blade the Iron Cross . Randy shares his thoughts on 1978’s Magic , in which Anthony Hopkins has an unhea...

On this live episode, the horror movie monster of the week is doppelgängers, clones, or evil twins. Not DoppelJesse revisits the Moff era of Doctor Who with a look at Rebel Flesh and The Almost People. The less evil twin of Melanie discusses Twinsanity (2018) , a movie so entwined in twinness that it also goes by the title of Downward Twin . And podcast not pod person Randy talks about Invasion of...

The monster of the week this episode is witches. It was by total coincidence that Randy mentioned the 1990 film, The Witches, a day before the trailer for the new HBO Max take on the film dropped. So, Randy decided it was time to revisit 1990’s The Witches . Melanie dug up something interesting with The Autopsy of Jane Doe while Jesse ditched the horror and went Ghibli with Kiki’s Delivery Service...

October is here and the monster-of-the-week segment continues. We kick our favorite month off with an odd choice of horror movie "monster" but also the most realistic... creepy neighbors. Or is our paranoia the real monster as we let our imaginations run wild with unfounded ideas of the what the neighbors are up to? I mean, what the hell is he building in there? Well, since this episode we are dis...

This episode’s monster of the week is a classic… Zombies! Melanie shares her thoughts on the the meta-heavy Daybreak Netflix series, Jesse finally gets double tapped with the Zombieland sequel, and Randy goes voodoo with a hidden zombie gem recommended to him by his mom! Also, are vampires zombies? What’s the difference between the living dead and the undead? These are important questions! Plus, T...

This episode’s monster of the week segment may feature the most monstrous horror movie creatures we’ve covered so far… children! We discuss a handful of horror movies with a focus on the creepy kid trope including Swedish vampire classic, Let the Right One In, and a comedic take on The Omen with Little Evil. Plus, thoughts on a bunch of recent viewing including The Babysitter: Killer Queen and Ama...

Did the circus come to town because this episode is full of clowns. Coincidentally, the horror movie monster of the week is CLOWNS. Yeah, they ARE monsters. The G-Crew each searched out some sort of creepy clown film or TV show. Don’t expect any Pennywise here, either. They went out of their way to find some less discussed and even downright obscure clown creeps to talk about. The week’s TV and mo...

This week we attempt to build a Frankenstein’s Monster out of Frankenstein’s Monsters. We each watched a Frankenstein related movie or TV show and, joined by Matt D. of 60s Reboot Podcast and Comics With My Kids, collectively try to figure out which Frankenstein is the sexiest. Unlike last episode’s vampire theme, we each managed to find vastly different takes on ol’ green and stumbly. From a time...

Welcome, children of the night! Grawlix Nights, that is! On this episode we kick off our new, weekly monster examination. Each episode leading up to Halloween we’ll be discussing a different creepy creature, movie monster, or horror trope. This week, as the groan-worthy intro to this paragraph would infer, we are discussing vampires. The blood-suckers in question happen to come to us by way of the...

Sip, listeners!? Hope you are ready for fun because this episode is a blast. As usual we talk about what we’ve been watching including our thoughts on Doom Patrol AND Umbrella Academy seasons 2. We also cover the TV & movie news that caught our attention over the past week. Randy gets excited for the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2 demo, we continue to follow the struggle of AMC Theatres, and there...
