They Mostly Pod Out at Night.... Mostly

The zombie craze continues with remakes galore. Sometimes it is a color remake of the original, and sometimes it takes the spirit of the original sequel to forge their own. Then we see a sharp decline in quality, with parkour zombies and CGI that would make Romero roll in his grave. Tonight we are discussing the remakes of the classic Romero ‘of the dead’ trilogy with the 1990 Night of the Living...

he first ‘of the Dead’ trilogy films are widely accepted as the best zombie movies ever made. And now we come to the second half of the ‘of the dead’ series - it is not so well received. Appearing shortly after the zombie apocalypse floated into the mainstream, Romero heavily leaned into his cult stardom and started making changes to his winning formula. Join us for the aftermath.

George A Romero, one of the godfathers of the modern horror pantheon, exploded on the scene with a little black and white film called Night of the Living Dead. He went on to make many films in the horror genre (and some not), but he is probably most well known for the ‘of the Dead’ series. Told in 6 parts, the first three of which we will be discussing today. Remember… We watch bad movies so you d...

This week we are taking a journey through anthologies. We are getting ready for October with an episode of episodes. We are diving in with Creepshow, Tales from the Darkside: The Movie, and Trick ‘r Treat Remember… We watch bad movies so you don’t have to..

Somehow it took 161 episodes to get to my personal first horror writer, Stephen King. Writers and directors were able to be part of the dollar baby program giving us some of the best and some of the worst horror movies. Tonight we see how much they can suck (aka vampires) a reboot and we play with our Monkey. Remember… We watch bad movies so you don’t have to.

This week we are looking through the eyes of every parent’s nightmare. Yes, watching your children suffer and know there is nothing that can stop it. I am fortunate enough to not have this problem, but most adults will. We visit 3 films that show upsetting things that happen to children. One of which is a remake of a film only 2 years old. Join us as we venture into child abuse.

Seemingly contrary to what most horror fans believe, Bruce Campbell has done more than just The Evil Dead. Some are good, some are quite B movies. Tonight we are serving up 3 movies in Bruce’s back catalog and see we all can stop only hailing to the king with Mindwarp, Bubba Ho-Tep and The Woods. Remember… We watch bad movies so you don’t have to.

We reach the end of the Friday the 13th franchise journey this week. Jason and his mother have rampaged their way through the woods around Camp Crystal Lake, and even somehow to Manhattan and Space, but there is always another final Friday. Join us for the finale of the franchise with Space, massive fan service, and a reboot.

Grab your short shorts, sharpen the machete and get ready for the final Friday.. again. We start with new blood, briefly visit New York, but we just end up going to hell, leaving Camp Crystal Lake behind us. We continue the summer vibe with Part 7 thru 9 of the Friday the 13th franchise.

Our adventure into the maw of the Friday the 13th franchise continues. We have started with the fun and confusing tag lines that will only continue as we move along the timeline. We start at the end, and have several new beginnings. Remember… We watch bad movies so you don’t have to.

Yes we are back, and yes Salem is still alive. We are celebrating the dog days of summer by going back to camp. Camp Crystal lake, that is. That’s right, we are doing one of the biggest horror franchises all month long. We start with the first three Friday the 13th films, before they started having tag lines.

he horror comedy has a long and storied history and we have just scratched the surface here with our month long spotlight. We cap it off with a selection of more modern horror comedies, and see if the genre has aged like a fine wine, or has it turned to vinegar.

Cheesy music, 4th wall breaks, and rolling in the hay. Let’s turn back time and go back to some of the classic horror comedies of yesteryear. Let’s dive into The Ghost and Mr Chicken, The Abominable Dr Phibes and Young Frankenstein

The vampire comedy has a long and storied history. We could have many episodes on Dracula parodies alone. But one has had a sequel, a remake, and a sequel to the remake. We will not be watching the remake sequel, but the rest are here for your auditory pleasure. Let’s dive into Fright Night. Remember… We watch bad movies so you don’t have to.

Eating flesh, destroying the brain and bodily dismemberment AND Comedy?? Horror and comedy do work when done well, other times they fail miserably. Luckily we are watching the good ones

So does the curse follow the franchise back to the states? We find out figuratively and literally in the American version of the Grudge franchise.

We survived the cursed videotapes, but now we have to be careful on what house we visit. So put on your house shoes, take a swig of bad tasting Sake and check every closet as we dive into the Ju-On series with the Curse, the Curse 2, the Grudge and Grudge 2.

We have watched the Japanese Ring franchise, now let’s see what the Americans can do. They throw a bigger budget and some big names at the problem, but can they stand up to the originals? Join us for The Ring, The Ring Two, and Rings.

The Ring franchise is arguably one of the biggest horror franchises to come out of Japan. With Multiple sequels, spin-offs, even a decanonized sequel that spawned its own franchise. So let’s sit back and pop in that mystery VHS tape and see where this franchise brings us. And remember, we watch bad movies so you don't have to.

We close out our journey through this month of Japanese horror with a director spotlight on Takashi Miike. A Prolific filmmaker with a wide range of genres, he has gained a reputation for his portrayal of extreme violence and sexual perversion. So let’s dive in with some of his most famous works. Remember… We watch bad movies so you don’t have to.

The 21st century has arrived (mostly) in our deep dive into Japanese horror. Whether we are mesmerized by a lighter, turning straight into ash out of sorrow, or weirdly obsessed with our Spirograph and drawing vortexes, we have something for you. We are looking at Cure, Pulse and Uzumaki and answering the age old question, do you wanna see a ghost?

We explored the black and white history of Japanese horror last week, this week we dive into the 80s and see how things have progressed with the classics of House, Evil Dead Trap, and Sweet Home. Remember… We watch bad movies so you don’t have to.

Back to our regularly scheduled show after a week of show tunes… This time we are heading back to feudal Japan to look at some of the classics in Japanese horror cinema, so grab your sword and armor, say goodbye to every wife you have and head into the rice field with Ugetsu, Onibaba, Kwaidan Remember… We watch bad movies so you don’t have to.

Sometimes things go bump in the night, other times it is just your stray alley cat waiting to get chosen. Or perhaps it is a Nazi waiting to enlist your singing family… Remember, We watch bad movies so you don't have to.

The month of the French has come to an end, sadly. We are wrapping up with the works of Gaspar Noe including Irreversible, Enter the Void, and Climax. So grab your baguette one last time and take your final drag on your cigarette.
