Send us a text We are very glad to do this episode so that we never have to see or talk about this movie again. From 2018, it's The Son of Devil. Gora finds a book of black magic that he uses to slaughter men who wronged him at a job interview. This movie is about 3 hours long, and so many of the scenes are dragged out too far. There is dialogue, but you get music over those scenes instead. You don't even find out until halfway through why he's killing people. It's a mess, and not in a good way....

Send us a text With this episode, we finish our coverage of Duke Mitchell movies with the other movie he wrote, directed, and starred in, 1974's Massacre Mafia Style. Mimi (Duke Mitchell,) a Mafia kingpin's son, tries to take over Los Angeles by killing everyone in his way. Yes, this movie is a rough watch. There is bad acting, very racist dialogue, and lots of murders (with a body count around 30.) Duke Mitchell uses Mafia stories he'd heard for some of those scenes, so they are bloody, but bel...

Send us a text For this episode, we cover the worst Thor movie we've ever seen. With a 1.7 on IMDb, starring Richard Grieco as Loki and Kevin Nash as Odin, we give you Almighty Thor. Thor battles Loki for the Hammer of Invincibility and the survival of Earth. Greg really hated this movie, especially after looking into all the mythology they got horribly wrong. Thor is whining and crying through most of it. Plus, Thor uses swords and guns. GUNS! No seriously, Thor uses guns! It's awful. Will you ...

Send us a text Upon learning about the passing of Wings Hauser, it took us about 2 seconds to decide we needed to do an episode in his honor. We have been in awe of him since before starting the podcast, which is why he was our first episode, and every season premiere since. We discuss all the work we've seen him in, when he made us laugh, when he gave us comfort, and when he was just Wings being Wings. This is a somber episode, as we are sad, but we do have some laughs about the memories. RIP M...

Send us a text We have a guest! This month, we are joined by Greg's fiance, Erica, to discuss the 1987 afterschool special, What If I'm Gay?, starring Evan Handler, Gabrielle Carteris, and Ed Marinaro. A popular high school student comes to terms with his sexuality. Despite the many uses of the cigarette word, the special handles the subject fairly well, and in under an hour! It even keeps you guessing who is gay until the reveal about halfway through. Even though it is progressively discussed, ...

Send us a text Nothing says we covered a Mark Polonia movie like glitches during the recording that we decided not to remedy. Ignore them and just listen to us discuss our joyful viewing of 2020's Shark Encounters of the Third Kind. Aliens come to earth to take over using sharks, as well as to eliminate previous test subjects. Mark Polonia says, "Continuity is limiting." That philosophy is widely apparent in this movie. The water shots are all over the place. There's a head that looks like no on...

Send us a text Welcome to the premiere of season 4! This year we begin with a very rare piece from Wings Hauser, a short-lived TV show from 1986 called The Last Precinct. The cast also includes Adam West, Keenan Wynn, Ernie Hudson, James Cromwell, and Rick Ducommun. Precinct 56 is the last precinct for these eccentric officers who are always butting heads with their superiors to keep from getting disbanded. Since this show has 8 episodes, we couldn't cover everything like we usually do. There ar...

Send us a text Welcome to our season 3 finale! Thank you everyone for 600 downloads! For this month's episode, we talk about a dummy and his senior thesis. Oh, and there's a life-sized wooden guy, too. A group of college seniors go to a cottage for fear therapy, and discover a wooden sculpture named Morty as they face their fears. Everyone in this has serious boundary issues. Troy and Leslie's backstory is extra gross. The soundtrack is awful and much too loud. Morty is probably the best charact...

Send us a text In episode 3 of last season, we covered a movie starring Duke Mitchell. If you heard it, you know we were not kind. For this month's episode, we apologize for some of that as we talk about a movie he wrote, directed, and starred in called Gone with the Pope. Paul (Duke Mitchell) is hired to do a hit, and uses the money to fund his own plan to kidnap the Pope for ransom. This movie has its issues. It gets weird and has some racist dialogue. But it was filmed in the mid-70s, so that...

Of all the Bloodfists, we chose this one for all the things that irritate Greg. From the rabbits, to the gun use inside, to the ineptitude of the military, to the obvious copying of Die Hard, there's a lot to discuss. The tin garbage can deserves an acting credit. Will you stay clean, or will you soak in this Corpse Tub...

And we have another announcement we reveal as well! In this episode, we talk about the 1980 movie The Children, and disclaimer, we mention quite often our feelings about children in general. A radioactive leak turns kids into atomic zombies. These children are much too happy while they burn their parents alive. Sheriff Billy is ou...

Send us a text Welcome to our second "live" episode! You can tell by the sounds of the birds and puppies throughout the episode. It doesn't hinder us as we discuss 2022's "Night of the Zodiac", a movie that was filmed in Detroit. A man is contacted by the Zodiac to be his protege. We actually like this movie. It's bloody, funny, gross, and ridiculous. It's SOV, so it looks old, even though it isn't. It's a true homage, including cameos by Mark Polonia and Tim Ritter. It's a rare Corpse Tub exper...

Send us a text For this month's episode, we are discussing a movie we swore we'd never watch again. It's 2020's Human Zoo, or The Human Zoo, according to the movie itself. Robert Carradine plays the Producer. No one else is significant. Contestants compete for one million dollars by living in 8x8 cells on a 24/7 livestream reality show called Solitary Confinement. Our sole purpose for this episode is to keep people far away from this movie. Seriously. It's boring. It's pointless. At the end of i...

Send us a text This month we celebrate 5 years of "experiences" together! To commemorate, we go back to almost our very beginning, the second movie we ever watched together, 2015's American Poltergeist. Five college kids move into a house with a sinister history. This movie tries to convince us Lizzie Borden was six feet tall with red hair, and that her house is now a mansion with a pool, jacuzzi, 2 saunas, and a guest house. It also tries to be scary. It fails on all accounts. Will you stay cle...

None of those facts help this movie. A theater group goes to an island to stay the night and raise the dead. Seriously, who signs on with a theater group who plans to raise the dead? That's the burning question through all of this, from the bl...

Send us a text For this episode, we talk about what is probably the grossest movie we've ever seen, 1987's The Nest. Meat eating roaches attack a small fishing village. How gross is this movie? So much so that we say 'gross' approximately 33 times. You could make it a drinking game! We audibly squirm as we talk about roaches in a toilet tank, invading a diner, eating a chef, and appearing everywhere else possible. Roach Cat and Roach Dad are the only slight relief. Will you stay clean, or will y...

From 1974, it's Let Sleeping Corpses Lie, or The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue, or Breakfast at the Manchester Morgue, depending where you find it. A couple is accused of a rash of murders by a sergeant who refuses to believe it's actually being committed by zombies. This movie has really spooky sound effects and a lot of gore. That's not the best part. It's the zombies...

Maybe you've heard us talk highly about our appreciation of Polonia Brothers movies, but with this episode, we get to fully gush about Mark and John Polonia's first movie, Church of the Damned! A satanic cult goes on a killing spree, and two cops try to stop them. It's Mark! It's John! It's Todd Michael Smith! It's Matthew Satterly! These teenagers got a camera and made a movie! It's gory, it's amateur, and it's poorly m...

A woman gets out of a mental hospital, kills her daughter, and then many other people who were lucky enough to stay at this deteriorated motel. Somehow Evelyn, the elderly killer, is stealthy and moves heavy bodies with ease. We wish for more scenes of the Rev and Melvin, and much less of the surviving "hero," Al. Also, how does Vern...

That's us doing the applause this time, and Mari's a little drunk, which helps as we discuss the horrendously bad Terror at Bigfoot Pond. A group of friends go camping and are attacked by a Bigfoot.

Then they succeed. Sure, that sounds interesting, but it really isn't. Of all the things that bug us in this movie, it's the music and the shirtless Costello that stands out the most. Don't worry, though, because we mention plenty more reasons for this movie to be avoided. Will you stay clean, or will you...

Director Shin Sang-ok and his wife, Son Hui Chang, who plays Ami, were kidnapped by Kim Jong-Il in the late 70s to make propaganda films. They escaped in 1986, shortly before this movie was finished.
