We’re so sorry, Uncle Robert… This week’s film is really something. We’re joined this week by Dan and Brian from The Goods ( www.thegoodsfilmpodcast.com ), and we discuss a very unique piece of Amazon Prime low budget horror fare: Robert (2015). This may actually be the worst film we’ve ever reviewed on the podcast, but we manage to have a lot of fun with it. And wouldn’t you know it, there’s also a whole rabbit hole of sequels to explore. Robert giveth, and Robert taketh away. Come explore the ...

You know we had to do it to em. If last week’s episode was king size, this one is bite size. A quick bite, that is.

We also talk about our quest to watch as many horror movies as we can during October, and about the extended Night of the Living Dead universe. Come, have a quick bite with us! Follow us on Twitter!

This week we’re talking two very different kinds of horror: Sam Raimi’s bloody and gooey Drag Me to Hell and the almost too real cult found footage film The Poughkeepsie Tapes.

We thought we were done with Saw but it turns out Saw wasn’t done with us.

We’re back with a vengeance! This week we delve further into Rock of Ages (2012), and what makes it such a magical object of obsession.

This week we delve further into the Neveldine/Taylor filmography with 2009’s Gamer. This is a strange film with exceptional amounts of sex and violence that nonetheless has a lot to say about society, and seems to have aged surprisingly well.
