You Run Podcast, Horror Movie Review

"Be careful what you wish for..." This week, we are diving deep into the ancient, ruby-encrusted world of Wishmaster (1997) ! While critics might have slept on it back in the day, the You Run Podcast crew is planting our flag: this movie is an absolute, criminally underrated 90s horror classic. Directed by special effects legend Robert Kurtzman and executive produced by Wes Craven, Wishm...

Today a boat trip is in order as we look at one of the most confusing and possibly the worst instalment in the Friday the 13th franchise. When a new group of teens head to New York on a luxury cruise ship called the Lazarus to celebrate their graduation they are not alone. Jason has stowed away, as has his toxic avenger looking child spirit. Now with what appears to be the ability to fully telepor...

It is officially the biggest box office shocker of the year, and you lot completely obsessed over getting us into the theatre for it. This week on the You Run Podcast , Scott and Marc are breaking down Curry Barker’s micro-budget horror sensation, Obsession (2026) . We follow Bear’s ill-advised decision to break a branch off the "One Wish Willow" just to win over his crush, Nikki. It sta...

Back into the world of Alien today with a film that suffers immense criticism for the decisions it made. We look at the issues that many people have and share our takes on what is a flawed but fairly solid addition to the Alien franchise. We also share some cool movie facts throughout the review and your thoughts in three word review. Not to mention a thrown together game that turned out far bette...

Halloween III is undeniably one of, if not the most divisive film in the Halloween franchise. While some hail it as the best in show and the realisation of John Carpenter's original plan to make the Halloween movies an anthology of terror. Others feel it is a poor sequel that offers nothing to the franchise and should not be included when talking about these movies. Today's episode gives y...

WARNING - THIS EPISODE CONTAINS VERY STRONG LANGUAGE AND INSULTS AIMED AT EACHOTHER THROUGHOUT. IT IS ALSO AN EPISODE WHERE BOTH US, AND OUR GUEST GOT RATHER DRUNK AND SILLY! IF THIS IS NOT SOMETHING YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IN AN EPISODE MAYBE SKIP THIS ONE! You know the episode is going to be fire when we have no choice but to open the episode description with a disclaimer... We are joined by Jim of...

Today a film that simply doesn't get spoken about nearly enough. 30 Days of Night follows a group of people stranded in an Alaskan town during 30 days of complete darkness and a full vamipre attack. Starring Josh Hartnett in arguably his greatest performance and Danny Huston in his best bad guy role. this film is brutal and also beautiful in the way it is shot. There is something about the blo...

The poll this week was all picked by our wonderful pateron member "Kate from Down Under" and through some weird twist of fate it was one of the most brutal Australian horrors "Wolf Creek" This is like an anti tourism advert for the outback as three friends go exploring and ultimately find themselves with horror's own version of Crocodile Dundee. What starts out as a super g...

Despite not getting covered on a whole lot of podcasts due to the nefarious past of it's director Jeepers Creepers still holds a well established place in the horror community. Even we remembered this being a lot of fun to watch. The early 00s tale of mind your own business as brother and sister stumble on a supernatural serial killer and decide to go investigate. This viewing has raised some...

This week long time friend of me and Marc jumps in for some 80's madness as Heather comes to visit. Pumpkinhead is the topic of conversation as we dive into bad parenting, dirt biking teens and the spirit of vengeance. The film follows a basic premise very well, boy killed in accident, vengeful father seeks out witch, witch summons evil demon to kill teens responsible, father regrets his decision,...

New release day today and we are joined by one half of The Girl & The Gay Podcast, This Girl Loves Horror herself, Becky! We are covering the brand new release of Ready or Not 2. A direct follow on sequel that sees Grace back in another game of hide and seek this time accompanied by her estranged sister Faith. With an all star cast leading the charge this film is a exciting romp from start to...

This week we take you back to the late 90's and the proof of concept that gave birth to the MCU as we know it today. Blade follows "The Daywalker" a half vampire, half human as he tracks down and ends vampires across the globe. In this his very first on screen adventure he is up against Frost a new breed vampire with desires to resurrect the blood god and take over the world. To surv...

What if Clark Kent didn't follow "Truth, justice & the American way" and instead said "Take the World"? Well that is the question that is fully and satisfyingly answered in this all Gunn affair from 2019. With James Gunn as a producer, his brother as a director and cousin as a writer this really is Avengers level collaboration. The film follows the same premise as the S...

BP Is back! We love having BP of The Let's Talk Horror Channel on the show and this is the perfect film for him to join us. We follow a group of teens as they try to uncover and stop an alien invasion via the faculty lounge. A film that has a cast to die for and some top tier practical effects. This is one that I think people are beginning to forget about too so this episode should remind ever...

A dive into Ghost Ship was more enjoyable that we anticipated as we realised this is an over hated gem in the world of 2000's horror movies. Steller casting across the board with some now very famous faces making early career appearances. Effects hold up better than a lot of more modern films for the most part. This film was a real delight. Not to mention the parallels we managed to draw between t...

The most discussed and dividing film of a generation (if not all time) Scream 7 follows Sidney Prescott and her family as they navigate a new team of Ghostface killers. With a heavily integrated AI plot and some returning characters we were convinced we were never seeing again. This episode we dive into the film, judging it on what was on screen, not what we expected (or hoped for) and not getting...

A Wild Card pick won this weeks poll and it really is a wild one! Today a dive into the surreal world of Slumber Party Massacre II. A film that has noting in common with the first film apart from a very loose tie in character. Dream demons? Sexual fantasy? Musical? not entirely sure what this film is or what it is saying... That doesn't for a second mean that we don't have a lot of fun wit...

This week a dive into a cult classic that has been imitated by numerous movies since it's release back in 85. Re-Animator follows Herbert West and his desire to Re-Animate human flesh with (let's be honest) mixed results. A film that offers goofy comedy intertwined with great practical effects, some nudity and the most vile villain we have found in quite some time... This episode also incl...

This week a dive into John Carpenter's They Live. A film that has cemented itself as a cult classic and still as relevant now as it was on it's release. We follow Nada (Rowdy Roddy Piper) as he goes on a journey of discovery to find out that billionaires, governments and elites are corrupt and driven by power and money. He also uncovers that a secret organisation of invading aliens are beh...

Do you dream of a younger, fitter, better version of this podcast? Well if you do today your wish is kind of granted as we revert to teenage boys for a good 10 minutes while discussing The Substance! A film that not only gives us a glimpse that Hollywood can still create unique and incredible body horrors but one that also contains one of the greatest performances of an actress in history. This ep...

This week we take a dive into Christophe Gans's latest addition to the Silent hill Franchise. Return to Silent Hill. When a mysterious letter calls James Sutherland back to Silent Hill in search of his long lost love. He finds a once recognisable town has become a foggy nightmare. We are also very delighted and privileged to welcome Pyramid Head himself "Robert Strange" to the show f...

The film is a coming of age story in a post apocalyptic world as we follow Spike's journey to manhood. With stand out performances and impeccable visuals you would expect this to be universally loved. However with the addition of a character based off of real life monster Jimmy Saville and a departure from the raw gritty style of the originals it has divided audiences and the two hosts of our...

Deep Blue Sea is one of the most beloved creature features of the 90's and it is easy to see why. A crazy scientist makes Mako sharks bigger and more intelligent in an attempt to cure Alzheimers then gets upset when the sharks use their newly gifted size and brain power to eat people. It is super fun and one that both me and Marc enjoy thoroughly. Based off of your 3-word reviews you agree too...

Today a change to the hosting team as Marc is unable to make the recording for a mystery reason. That's ok though as I am joined by the incredible Kate from Down Under to discuss one of the most hated on Alien movies in the entire franchise. Full disclosure both me and Kate love Alien 3 and David Fincher but this does not stop us acknowledging and diving into all of the studio caused flaws in...

Today we complete our coverage of the JAWS franchise with a deep dive into the 3rd and only 3D instalment. A film that gives us not only a new perspective to view JAWS but also a bunch of characters that are so overplayed it is hilarious. Clearly the influence for the movie Deep Blue Sea, JAWS 3D mixes science fiction with a giant SeaWorld advert to bring us this 80s classic. This episode not only...
