Daddy’s home! That’s right, we’re back once again and we’re hitting comfortably familiar territory, this time exploring early 2000s horror oddity Urban Legends: Final Cut. What horror movie set at a film school would be complete without a mine themed dark ride? How about a slasher scene set on an airplane? We’ve got all that, plus discussions of current film Top Gun: Maverick, Lightyear, and our favorite seating locations for theaters. So hop in the mine car with us and let’s barrel through the ...

We’ve been seeing a lot in theaters recently, so there’s lots to catch up on.

And yes, we do enter the Wadlowverse again, but only briefly this time. Follow us on Twitter! (...

Episode 69 - Nice (Venom 2, Dear Evan Hansen, Cafe Flesh)

To celebrate our 69th episode, this week we will be reviewing a film that is, in the words of the Supreme Court, “of prurient interest.” This film is 1982’s Cafe Flesh, a very strange product of a bygone era.

So many horror movies coming out, it must be Spooky Season! On this episode we delve into a wide variety of recent horror releases, including what is probably one of the most batshit insane films we’ve ever seen, Malignant. We’re also probably going to be haunted by the ending to The Night House forever, but that’s fine. We hope you’re having a spooky week, and enjoy our seasonal discussion!

Time keeps on slippin’, and I’m getting older too. It’s been awhile in the making, but we’re finally ready to release our thoughts on the latest M Night Shyamalan film, Old.

Episode 63 - Forget It Zeke, It's Jigsawtown (Spiral From the Book of Saw)

A huge mea culpa on the delay on this episode. Jigsaw had nothing to do with it this time, but equipment failures and moral failures did. At long last, the film we (and hopefully many of you) have been waiting for - Spiral: From the Book of Saw! There’s puppets, shards of glass, and maybe even one of the key drops we love so much. This film is a blessing for us Saw diehards who have been waiting so long, so crack open a Dr. Pepper, put on your pig mask, and get ready to spin like a Spiral! Follo...

It’s our last episode before the Oscars ceremony, and we still have so far to go! At least one of us will basically be living Oscars movies for the last week. In this episode we discuss Trial of the Chicago 7, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, One Night in Miami, Sound of Metal, Over the Moon, Greyhound, and all of the documentary features.

Episode 60 - Matt's Murder Plan (Oscars Pt 2)

We sure had a lot on our plates this week! We continue to plow through the Oscars movies, as we touch on several of this year’s contenders. This includes Hillbilly Elegy, Nomadland, Mank, Shaun the Sheep: Farmageddon, Eurovision Song Contest, and Onward. We also discuss the Saw franchise (of course), the possibility of podcasting out of the back of a hearse, and our ever expanding alcohol collections.

Episode 59 - Release the Oscar Cut (Oscars Pt 1)

Despite the advice of our doctors, we’re doing it again: it’s time to kick off the Oscars Death Race. We will be attempting to watch all nominees in all categories, and giving you our thoughts on what we watch as we go along. This week we’re talking about Wolfwalkers and Promising Young Woman, as well as anticipating which films we think may give us some trouble.

This week we’re rewinding all the way back to the year 2012, to the heyday of the mumblecore movement, to discuss anthology/found footage horror film V/H/S. If there’s anything we love more than found footage horror, it’s found footage horror that’s also an exploration of one of our favorite physical media formats. It’s a gritty, grainy, gory good time!

Episode 57 - Not Another Truss Bridge Movie (Drive Angry)

So last week got us so pumped up for late 2000s 3D cinema and the works of Patrick Lussier and Todd Farmer that we just had to follow up with 2011’s Drive Angry. Of course this film boasts the incomparable talents of Nicolas Cage, but there’s a lot else to like: a no-nonsense demon, violent 3D dismemberments, huge explosions, a combination gunfight/sex scene, and pod favorite Tom Atkins. And Todd even gets naked again. What more could you ask for? Hop in the car with us, and let’s Drive Angry! F...

Episode 56 - I Hope They Serve Moosehead in This Remote Mining Town (My Bloody Valentine)

We’re back on the horror beat this week, this time reviewing both the original 1981 My Bloody Valentine and the 2009 3D remake. There’s much discussion of the merits of the RealD era of 3D film and 2000s horror remakes, as well as more unexpected subjects like the Miner 49er from Scooby Doo. We also ultimately decide that there’s no place we’d rather be than hanging out in the small mining town from My Bloody Valentine (1981), chugging Moosehead beer and grilling food on a car engine, so go figu...

Episode 54 - Enter the Hudgensverse (The Knight Before Christmas & The Princess Switch)

It wouldn’t be the holiday season without some insane Christmas romcoms, and this week we have quite the pair. Vanessa Hudgens is rapidly growing her own cinematic universe of this kind of holiday fare over at Netflix, so we decided to choose The Knight Before Christmas and The Princess Switch to get us in the holiday spirit. And by holiday spirit we certainly don’t mean that creepy old man who hangs around the Christmas market in Belgravia. These films have hot cocoa, baking, binge-watching, an...
