Who Goes There Podcast

This episode we weigh-in on WHEN EVIL LURKS, Argentinian writer/director Demian Rugna’s follow up to his 2017 feature film debut, Atterados. There's a whole lot of films in the demonic possession horror sub-genre. Is it still possible to create something fresh and unique with such an arguably overused trope? Listen and find out. Also, watch and find out. WHEN EVIL LURKS is currently available on S...

The year is 1995. Kurt Cobain blew his head off last year, or someone blew his head off, at the very least. Singles from Smashing Pumpkins’ Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, The Offsprings’ Smash, and Radiohead’s The Bends are lighting up the radio. And Wonderwall, don’t forget Wonderwall. Secretly, and shamefully, you regularly check VH1 to see if the video for Collective Soul’s song, “Dece...

There’s been a whole lot of talk about aliens lately. Some of it potentially historic, some of it hilarious. This episode we take a deep dive into the film adaptation of Whitley Streiber’s best-selling book based upon his own alleged experiences with extraterrestrials, 1989’s COMMUNION 👽  Grey aliens, sleep paralysis, abduction, bad late 80’s fashion, alien dance parties, little blue people, dopp...

Sahhhhhh dudes! As the reigning monarch of our Patreon , King Hans has decreed a foray into the action splatter excess of 2008's TOKYO GORE POLICE. Luckily, we have some help to discuss this profound film. That's right! Matt's back for this episode to join in the festivities. If you enjoy the show, consider joining our Patreon . For less than the cost of a beer, or whatever reasonably affordable m...

This episode we get into Korean auteur Park Chan-Wook’s modern cult classic, OLDBOY,  which recently celebrated its 20th anniversary with a limited theatrical re-release. It’s a tale of revenge, obsession, torture, and terrible truths. It’s also got one of the most influential single-shot takes in cinema history, involving a hammer. If you enjoy the show, consider joining our Patreon . For less th...

There's not too many genre mashup monster/comedy/adventure/horror films out there, and even less that are any good. What other cases can be made against 1990's TREMORS? Well, it's PG-13, so there's that. It has Reba McEntire and the Dad from Family Ties. But enough of all that,  if you’re among those of us who helped turn it into a cult classic over the years after its abysmal initial theatrical r...

Drug addict cyborgs, infant hostages, elderly abuse, kid drug lords, the firebombing of a drug treatment clinic, a violent robbery committed by a pack of boy scouts and their scout leader. When Frank Miller (yes, that Frank Miller) landed the gig writing ROBOCOP 2, it's as though he took it upon himself as a personal challenge to push the savage satirical edge of the first film to it's most extrem...

This episode we finally discuss A24's recent breakout, Talk To Me. Serving as the feature film directorial debut of brothers Danny and Michael Philippou, the movie revolves around a group of teenagers experimenting with a mysterious embalmed hand which allows them to contact, and temporarily be inhabited by, spirits. Needless to say, things go too far. Prior to writing and helming the film, the Ph...

Haomies! This episode we return to 1997 when Al Pacino ("greeeeeeeat ass!!!") played himself playing the devil and Keanu Reeves terrified us with his attempt at a Southern Accent. It's The Who Goes There Podcast, Episode 390: The Devil's Advocate. Review starts right around the 30-minute mark, after Jorge and Rhett briefly discuss some Billy Joel deep cuts. "Who are you carrying all those bricks f...

Have you ever wanted to see late career Russell Crowe portraying a Vatican-appointed exorcist? Have you ever wanted to see him do this while riding a Vespa 🛵 wearing sunglasses 🕶️and Faith No More’s ‘We Care A Lot’ plays in the background? Your time has come. It’s The Who Goes There Podcast EPISODE 389: THE POPE’S EXORCIST. If you enjoy the show, consider joining our Patreon subscribers. That mea...

Awww shit, here we go again. This episode we review all five episodes of Black Mirror, Season 6. While Season 4 had it's high points, most notably an episode entitled USS Callister starring Meth Damon (Jessie Plemons), I think most will agree Season 5 was easily the worst of the series. So, we had high hopes that series creator Charlie Brooker had taken his time and bounced back with a new season...

Greetings idiots! And so it came to pass that beloved King Hans, in his wisdom and discernment, blessed us with a horror relic from the atomic age- 1954's THEM! As part of his privileges as reigning king of our patreon, good ol' Hans gets to pick a film. As stated by the man himself, this was selected to accompany the theatrical release of Oppenheimer, as it relates to the aftermath of all the nuc...

Welcome back. How ya been? This episode we’re talking Paul Verhoeven’s gory military satire, STARSHIP TROOPERS. While universally praised for it’s staggering visual effects and creature design courtesy of Phill Tippet, upon initial release the film was considered a commercial and critical failure. The satirical elements were mostly misunderstood and even occasionally interpreted to mean the exact...

EPISODE 385: DEADSTREAM You’re back! That warms our hearts. There’s a lot of crazy shit going on, as usual. Rich people getting their boats flipped by Killer Whales, rich people getting yeeted into soup after imploding in a janky-ass submarine equipped with a cheap gaming controller as a navigation device while trying to visit the Titanic, a mercenary insurrection in Russia. Yes, it’s a wild time...

Salutations idiots! Hopefully you’ve had the opportunity to listen to the previous episode featuring the introduction of our new cohost, Jacob. He’s dope. We appreciate him, and we appreciate all the good will and words of encouragement we’ve received from many of you.  “Don't act so weak... this is just the beginning. Remember... your nightmare's only getting worse!” It’s the Who Goes There Podca...

Ah! It’s been a long time, we shouldn’t have left you, without a dope beat to step to. More accurately, it’s been like 3 months at most, and we have no beats. But we’re back! And when I say “we” I mean exactly two thirds of what you’re used to. Yes, friends, idiots, and people reading this out of morbid curiosity, Matt has shuffled off this silly-ass show and embraced the next chapter of his life....

Ohayo, ya cucks! Matt is finally back from Japan and you know what that means... absolutely nothing. I mean, we'll be releasing 4 episodes based off of Japanese films, but for this week, it means nothing. We did record an episode on that new Brandon Cronenberg movie Infinity Pool about two years ago. So we should probably release that. You know how we feel about Cronenbergs over here. Well, aside...

Salutations, ya slack-jawed shit-slingers. The earth has once again traveled all the way around the sun, so you know what that mean! It means all of you idiots are going to make pointless resolutions that you're never going to stick to, and you're going to clog up the gym for a month before settling back into your crumb-covered couches. I have a home gym though, so clearly I'm superior and unaffec...

Happy holidays, ya filthy animals! Yeah, we're a little late with your christmas gift, but while Santa only comes once a year, we're busy filling boxes all year long! Ooooooooh! Get it? Any who.

Now we're back with some more stupid bullshit for you to listen to. This week's film, well... IS A LOVE STORY, DOOOOOOOD! Or is it? Either way, we're getting into Bones and All , warts and all. If you haven't seen the film already we highly recomm...
