The Uninvited (1944)

LISTENER CHALLENGE: Did Shaggy actually watch this movie? Or is he bullshitting his way through this whole episode? Also: Is this 1944's most lesbian movie? An LGBT icon way before the Babadook was fashionable? Listen and find out!

Gremlins

Can anything ever be as good again as it was in 1984? It's tough sometimes to revisit something from your childhood and realize that maybe something was off about it that you could never place at the time. Sometimes a cute fuzzy little creature turns ugly when you spend too much time with it. Anyway as a special Christmas treat we're watching Gremlins! Special music is "Christmas Steps" by Mogwai because Chris just couldn't resist tbh.

Hush

This week we explore the senseless (literally!) violence of 2016's "Hush" written and directed by the same folks who brought you Netflix's Hill House and Bly Manor. This one has significantly more lingering butt shots in it than either of those, however.

The Butterfly Effect

This week we have a very reasoned and thorough discussion of one of the most heavily marketed movies of 2004: The Butterfly Effect!

Love at First Bite

This is bar none the worst movie we've seen so far. Like by a lot. Boomers aren't allowed to make movies anymore.

Prom Night

Can Jamie Lee Curtis re-create the magic of Halloween using almost the same formula but with a much less talented director and maybe adding in the guy from Police Squad? This movie sucks but this episode is great!

Friday the 13th

This week is another Very Special Episode for a Very Special Friday the 13th 2020! Things can't get any worse, right? We dive into one of the most iconic slasher flicks of all time, and almost certainly Kevin Bacon's sexiest role.

The Invitation

You ever been to a party, maybe with an old friend you hadn't seen in a long time, and they have new friends now and you try to have a nice time but things just seem kinda... off? We've been to that party, and now we're inviting you along too. Come on! Don't be glib. Just relax and enjoy. There's nothing unnatural about it, we promise.

Halloween

On this week's Very Special Episode, it's the 1978 classic Halloween! Let's all compare the size of our knives and gloat that we can last longer than teenagers in the sack! It's a weird one! I guess they're all weird.

Alien

In our 2nd pandemic-era episode, we learn all about the dire consequences of breaking quarantine. There are probably some other important topics ripe for discussion, such as the importance of listening to competent women, or the intricate class dynamics of a long-haul space ship crew, but we'll probably spend lots of time talking about Sigourney Weaver's improbably small panties instead. Also, editor's note: We're still figuring out remote recording, so please be patient with the sound quality! ...

Wait Until Dark

Remember back when we all started sheltering from the global pandemic of 2020? No one knew what the hell was going on in the world and it was pretty much booze o'clock 24/7? That's about how long this episode has been in the can. This was our first attempt at remote recording and in keeping with those times, there was a lot of booze flowing at the newly socially distant Fright Pub. However despite the chaos of the world we manage a pretty fun discussion of 1967's Wait Until Dark, starring Audrey...

An American Werewolf in London

This week we explore the prototype for the modern werewolf movie: An American Werewolf In London. We got takes so spicy they'll give you heartburn!

Scream

In the first real episode a bunch of kids from the 90s discuss the biggest horror film of the same decade, Scream. Is it a classic or a dud? Who hit whom with what phone and are they a dick for doing it? Find out!
