Episode 334 - Out of Darkness (2022) 25:41

12d ago25:41

25:41

If you watched the opening of the first X-Files movie and said, "I need me more of that cave man horror!", 2022's 'Out of Darkness' is not that. What is it? Well, certainly not a film anyone who knew how to market a cave man based drama was involved in. Derek spouts some Neanderthal conspiracy nonsense, and JR seems to think people in movies are re…

Episode 333 - Daddy's Head (2024) 28:10

26d ago28:10

28:10

In our most provocatively titled film since “Butt Boy”, 2024’s “Daddy’s Head” is sure to get you on a list if you google it too much. “Daddy’s Face” would technically be more accurate, especially since you wouldn’t want to confuse this with some sort of “Head of the Family” or “Re-Animator” animated head scenario. What’s the scenario instead? Alien…

Episode 332 - V/H/S/Beyond (2024) 36:33

1M ago36:33

36:33

For a series that uses so many forward slashes in its titles that it tanks its SEO, 2024’s “V/H/S/Beyond” is somewhat of an outlier for the 7th film in a franchise. Sure, it still has multiple shorts involving bros dropping the f-bomb constantly, but it does seem to be trying to get BEYOND that. Does it succeed? Better give this a listen because no…

In this time of political strife candidates in their 70’s are one thing, but septuagenarian sexual monster bad boy serial killers are quite another. In 2008’s ‘Embodiment of Evil’, Coffin Joe gets released from jail 40 years after the last film to find that the world might not be quite the place for an old man with gross monster finger nails. Has J…

OctJOEber continues with Joe up to his ol’ hijinks in 1967’s “This Night I’ll Possess Your Corpse”, moving him from Universal Monster territory to Hammer Horror territory. If you wondered what José Mojica Marins would do with a bigger budget and longer running time, wonder no longer. Torture dungeons, secret laboratories, hunchbacked assistants, sc…

Episode 329 - OctJOEber 1: At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul (1964) 31:01

3M ago31:01

31:01

OctJOEber begins with our introduction to that rapscallion Coffin Joe in 1964's 'At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul'. It's like a forgotten Universal Monster film, but with more beatings and Nietzschian philosophy. Start growing out your fingernails and get ready to continue your bloodline.Di The Horror of Nachos & Hamantaschen

Take off yer 10-gallons and fill them with a bunch of paper scraps with horror movies written on them, ‘cause the boys done did a live roundup! Not RECORDED live mind you, but they did sit in the same room and watch 2024’s ‘Abigail’, 1987’s ‘StageFright’, and 2022’s ‘Influencer’, so that’s kind of the same thing, right? Right?

Episode 326 - Loop Track (2023) 27:25

You might think that 2023’s ‘Loop Track’ is time travel related with a name like that. You stupid fool, you’ve just given away that you’re some kind of sci-fi nerd and are not correctly associating the titular term with hiking. How embarrassing for you. I recommend you listed to this episode immediately and learn how wrong you are, and also about t…

Get outta here Harryhausen, there’s a new stop motioneer here, namely director Robert Morgan with his 2023 film ‘Stopmotion’. Forget about the California Raisins, Wallace & Gromit, and Yukon Cornelius, those are for last millennium’s children. Kids these days like their stop motion like their chicken nuggets, gross and meaty, and this has meat for …

Are you ready for our hottest and sweatiest episode yet with plenty of banging? You better be, because we are covering Karl Edward Wagner’s “Where the Summer Ends”, and also the place next to JR’s is under construction or something and there’s a bit of hammering in the background for parts of the show.

28:02

A lot of people come to me and ask, “Where evil lurks?” or, “Why evil lurks?” or even, “How evil lurks?” Sometimes I even get a, “Who evil lurks?” Obviously the only correct question is, “When evil lurks?”, to which the answer is the 2023 Argentine film ‘Cuando Acecha la Maldad’. As for “What evil lurks?”, well, you’ll have to listen to find out.…

You may not realize it in 2024, but there was once a time when people hadn’t heard of Stephen King, and I’m not talking about the billions of years just prior to his birth. When he was an up-and-coming author he used to be hungry and wrote with an edge, something easily forgotten in the intervening 40+ years of writing. The boys discuss Night Shift…

After a long hiatus the boys are back, and have on their their their their their boogie shoes for the 2023 loosely-based-on-a-Stephen-King-story ‘The Boogeyman’.

The gang bids the island life behind as they finish up ‘The Island of Doctor Moreau’ and reflect back on their long strange journey. Is it even possible to live a normal life after living with beast folk so long? Maybe, if you’re not a milquetoast Prendick that is. That’s the moral of the book BTW.Di The Horror of Nachos & Hamantaschen

37:00

Was Dean Koontz inspired to write 1989’s ‘Midnight’ based on ‘The Island of Doctor Moreau’? Does getting a goat testicle transplant increase vitality? Does Doctor Moreau deliver as good a dialogue on pleasure and pain as Pinhead? Does an Ox wave its tail when happy? Does Derek know any Green Day songs? All these questions, and more, in our coverage…

Moreauvember continues with the gang’s review of the first third of H.G. Wells’ ‘The Island of Doctor Moreau’. Everyone focuses on the plight of the Beast Folk, but nobody dives into the sad life of Montgomery, who just wants to tell the sad story about how he got roped into this whole animal transformation business and nobody wants to hear it.

Have we ever covered an animated film before? I honestly can’t even remember after all these episodes. Anyhow, the gang watches 1997’s ‘Perfect Blue’, a.k.a., the movie you’ve probably seen shots copied from in most Darren Aronofsky films, the most comprehensive version of a Giallo, or, the anime you could use as a measure of the quality of the art…

Episode 312 - The Last Broadcast (1998) 31:16

1y ago31:16

31:16

While certainly not an Armageddon/Deep Impact situation, 1998’s ‘The Last Broadcast’ is often lumped in, unfairly, as the mirror to The Blair Witch Project. This is much to its loss as it is certainly no Blair Witch, but also because it has a completely different flavor of “found footage” in its inclusion of cable access shows, MIRC logs, and true …

Episode 311 - Body at Brighton Rock (2019) 23:29

1y ago23:29

23:29

On the one hand we have JR missing the twist of 2019’s ‘Body at Brighton Rock’ so hard that it would be like not realizing Bruce Willis was dead after watching The 6th Sense, and on the other we have Derek confusing the production story of Predator (the script for which was originally titled ‘Hunter’) with the 2003 film ‘The Hunted’. We both lose. …

Are you looking for a film about little monsters laying siege to an Irish manor with all the “fun” of Straw Dogs but none of the humor of Gremlins? 2022’s ‘Unwelcome’ might just be the film for you! Worst case scenario you get a 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon crossover between The MCU, Game of Thrones, and Star Trek……

28:52

2022’s ‘Soft & Quiet’ may have hit theaters in exactly the way that its name implied, but that makes sense when its entire plot is best experienced knowing nothing about it ahead of time. It does introduce cinema’s third most provocative pie (American Pie, #1, The Help, #2) so don’t go in hungry. If you learn nothing from the marketing of ‘A Ghost …

Not to be confused with the 2022 TV series, the 2000 James Spader/Keanu Reeves film, nor the 1987 psychic dog vs. monster dog novel by Dean Koontz, no, this is the 2022 film about Maika Monroe being followed by a malicious force, but not the 2014 film about Maika Monroe being followed by a malicious force. Makes sense? Plus, more stories from JR’s …

The boys wrap up children and evil holes month with a film that barely qualifies for having an evil hole, 2007’s ‘The Orphanage’. Not to be confused with ‘The Devil’s Backbone’, this was the other movie about a Spanish orphanage that came out in the mid-2000s and had involvement from Guillermo del Toro in an odd Antz/Bug’s Life, Dante’s Peak/Volcan…

1+ y ago30:53

30:53

While mysterious holes are the #1 cause of evil children, #2 is mysterious pits, especially if they’re full of monsters. 1981’s horror-comedy ‘The Pit’ gives you the trifecta of troglodytes, evil teddy bears, and snotty Canadian children who can’t even be mean right. If you’re not sold already, as an added bonus there’s plenty of ‘The Littlest Hobo…

Doesn’t matter if it was made by changelings, other Fae, aliens, bug monsters, or evil spirits, you have a kid, keep them clear of all mysterious holes.

Another poster of just teenager’s faces without any information about the film? Must be another 90’s Kevin Williamson film! 1999’s ‘Killing Mrs. Tingle’, er, I mean ‘Teaching Mrs. Tingle’, because maybe in the immediate aftermath of Columbine a movie names after killing a teacher was not the way to go and changing it to be more “educational” was “b…

The boys dive into the oeuvre of writer Kevin Williamson, well, his non-Scream, non-TV, non-werewolf related oeuvre that is. 1997’s ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’, is exactly what you’d expect from a 90’s teen slasher, and the behind-the-scenes-at-Miramax grossness is also about what you’d expect. I guess the killer dressing in the vein of fishi…

If you thought that ‘Mandy’ moved too fast for you, the boys cover another Panos Cosmatos film that might be more your speed.

For something old, not to be confused with Robert Downey Jr.’s star turning vehicle, 1989’s Tetsuo The Iron Man gives those early David Lynch vibes with a dash of metal fetishry.
