Who Goes There Podcast

Konichiwa, dorks! As you may have noticed, we’re trying to do the occasional “throwback episode” in an attempt to keep things fresh around here. That, combined with the fact that in the past we’ve only talked about two anime films ( Vampire Hunter D , and Castlevania ), we decided what better time than now to cover another one. We’re hopping in the way back machine all the way to 1997 to cover Sat...

Yo, do not miss this episode! We’d heard a lot about 2016’s horror/dark comedy Night of the Virgin , “it’s fucked up!”, “it’s so gory!”, “a must watch!” Well, we all know how everyone is wrong except for us, so we decided to check it out for ourselves. (Review starts at 32:20) This episode gets just as bat-shit crazy as the movie does. In fact, there’s about 30 minutes of insanity that we had to c...

Hola, dorks, and welcome to another episode of the Who Goes There Podcast ! Comic Con 2019 has finally come and gone, and we’ve all become a little more bitter and cynical. This week we’re discussing 2019’s Luz , a paranormal, demon, mind fucky film. (Review starts at 32:18) This film mostly flew under our radars until it was released in mid-July, and since there are no major studio films being re...

Ahoy there, dorks! Welcome to another episode of Semi-Professional Podcast Reviewer Theater! We may not be the only podcast full of braindead bros who don’t know shit about movies and add nothing to the discussion, but we’re the only one on Dread Central! This week, we’re heading down to Florida to chill with some gators and laugh about how idiots are getting eaten. No, we’re not talking about bee...

Rejoice, ya dorks, for summer is finally here! The time has come for rockets red glare, summer loving, bonfires and bar-b-ques. Just like every hot dog is bound to split its bun, every A24 film is bound to split the horror community. Well, it is my job to inform you, the split has happened again. The latest release from “elevated horror” juggernaut A24 is Midsommar, Ari Aster’s follow up to 2018’s...

Are you aware of the fact that there are a group of people out there who are afraid of pasta?! Yessir, the fear of pasta is a completely real thing and it’s called Zymarikaphobia. I know what you’re thinking, and I completely agree with you, it’s stupid. You know what fear is not stupid? The fear of spiders is not stupid. As a matter of fact, the fear of spiders is so incredibly not stupid that Ho...

Alright everyone, let’s be honest with ourselves here for just a second. Most of us hate the fact that a good amount of the “new” movies released every year, are remakes. Furthermore, most of us are really stoked that the majority of these remakes are hot garbage. Even further still, most of us took to the internet with a fervent anger when we heard that a Child’s Play reboot was in the works. Yes...

Here at the Who Goes There Podcast we pride ourselves on being 100% honest and genuine in our reviews, and sometimes that rubs people the wrong way. Thankfully it has been a while since we’ve really pissed anyone off, and well, that just isn’t going to cut it. We’re going to (try to) start doing regularly scheduled “throwback” episodes, where we look into films released prior to 2000; this is the...

It’s an undeniable fact that technology has infiltrated every single aspect of our lives. In a day and age where our refrigerators and dishwashers have wifi it’s virtually impossible to escape the cold, metallic clutches of technology. For this reason, Netflix’s Black Mirror has become one of the most creative and original franchises in quite some time. Now, we find ourselves staring down the rele...

Ahoy there, dorks! We’re back up in that ass with the resurrection! That’s just our fancy way of saying we’re back with another episode of hilarious horror hijinks…for your ass. This episode is pretty front loaded, so if you want to skip right to our thoughts on tonight’s film, skip to the 46:00 mark. All of us here at Who Goes There are getting pretty tired of hearing the name “Blumhouse” before...

Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s… finally the end of the Marvel Cinematic Universe! I don’t know about you, but I have had it up to my tits with all of the superhero movies being shoved down our throats. For the last twelve years almost every film has been: weak villain attacks, fly, punch, celebrate, repeat. However, unlike zombies, the superhero genre has several ways of keep...

For some reason, these days, everyone and their mom is a fan of serial killers and true crime. True crime podcasts are currently among the most successful shows available, even if they’re more known for their terrible jokes than their educational values. What lies deep inside of us that sparks this fascination for brutal murderers who commit unspeakable acts? Guess what. You won’t find the answer...

Let’s be honest, shall we? The majority of us now roll our eyes at the announcement of any new zombie movie or show. The Walking Dead has been shambling on for far too long, and has been dragging the corpse of interesting zombie media with it. As summer draws ever closer, Netflix is hoping that the spring rains will have washed away the years of shitty-zombie-stink and has brought us Black Summer...

Happy Cinco de Mayo, pendejos! This is the one time of the year that Jorge reminds us all that he IS in fact Mexican. We’re throwing our kids in the creek and getting stupid as fuck with the newest jump scare extravaganza. Join us, as we cook Trader Joes carne asada, drink craft beer designed to look like Tecate, and listen to Mexican ska. Oh yeah, we’re also going to talk about The Curse of La Ll...

Every year, Matt and Alia come back from the Telluride Horror Show and there always seems to be one movie they absolutely rave about. Some movies, like 2018’s Aterrados , absolutely live up to the hype, while some like 2015’s They Look Like People do not. Here we are again. Another year has passed, another film fest has come and gone, and this year the adorable duo were singing the The Head Hunter...

Welcome, to the first time this year we’ll be squabbling about yet another Stephen King remake! This time around, we’ll be discussing the brand new remake of 1989’s Pet Sematary . If you’ve been a listener of our show for a while now you may have heard our review of Pet Sematary 2. Seeing as how we never reviewed the original, this aught to make up for that, right? (Review starts at 47:27) In addi...

Guys, we did it! We managed to wrangle in our dear friend Chris Franco for another episode! When we heard a new Critters TV show was in the works we immediately called Chris. Even better, you can stream Critters: A New Binge in its entirety over on Shudder. (Review starts at 48:00) To be honest, I’m so happy with how this episode came out. I’ve wanted to get Chris and Rhett into the same room to w...

Whether you love him, or you hate him, there’s no denying that Jordan Peele is currently one of, if not the biggest name in horror cinema. Hot on the heels of his 2017 breakout hit Get Out , Peele is back with his sophomore effort Us . Has Jordan Peele managed to once again capture lightning in a bottle, or has the comedian turned horror director fallen victim to the dreaded sophomore slump? (Revi...

Boy oh boy, do we have a treat for you nerds! This week we’re joined by the very funny comedian Ryan Shores to discuss the pinnacle of sophistication: the theatre. We’ll discuss how powerful the on stage performance can be, the grace and beauty of the ballet, and timeless works of art. In addition, we’ll also be discussing human dart boards, snuff as entertainment, mouth urinals, and lots and lots...

We’ve been doing the Who Goes There Podcast for nearly six years and we are just now covering our first Korean film. This week, our guest this week is the haomie: author, San Diegan, and occasional taco eater Brian Asman. We discuss his new book, I’m Not Even Supposed To Be Here Today, and one of the most bizarre and insanely awesome movies we’ve ever covered in 2016’s The Wailing . (Review starts...

Lay down your souls to the gods rock ‘n roll! Heavy metal and horror films go together like peanut butter and bacon (seriously, try it). It seems like it was only a matter of time before we’d eventually see more horror films about heavy metal. Luckily for all of us, the real life events surrounding the bands Mayhem, Burzum and the creation of Norwegian Black Metal were just begging for a big scree...

Oodalolly, oodalolly, golly what a day! We’re going to talk about The Gay Agenda ! No, I’m not talking about what they’re doing to the soil over at Stuart’s trailer park. We’re joined by Luis, drummer for the San Diego hardcore band The Gay Agenda , to discuss “queer core” and some good, old fashioned, Japanese gore in the form of 1999’s Audition . Audition has been hailed as a “turning point in J...

Art is arguably one of the most powerful forces on Earth. In the right (or wrong) hands art can spark inspiration, bring together a nation, or destroy a regime. However, when art falls into supernatural hands it has the power to kill pretentious yuppies in hilarious ways; enter Velvet Buzzsaw . (Review starts at 28:12) Velvet Buzzsaw has the unique distinction of being “a horror movie about art, v...

Guys, we’re finally on Spotify ! We know, we should have been on there much sooner, but there was some kind of problem with our artwork. The point is, now you can easily access our “quality horror content” without a designated podcast app! One we hit episode 200 we decided we were going to do less “mainstream new releases” and more of what we actually want to do. With that in mind, if you came her...

When we started the Who Goes There Podcast in the Spring of 2013 our goal was to introduce people to the insane movies that we love, especially the more obscure films. As of late we have lost our way a bit and fallen into reviewing every Hollywood horror film that is released, regardless of if we even want to watch it. For episode 200, we said, “fuck that noise!” That’s right, slap nuts! For episo...
