Final Girls in Horror

Welcome to a Slashers Smoke Break Women’s March episode with Doug and Coker discussing Final Girls. Who are their favorite Final Girls, who are their least favorite Final Girls, and what are some fun female killers? Doug discusses his favorite sequels for the Sleepaway Camp Franchise (parts 2 and 3) because Angela’s character evolves into a bad ass, campy killer. While Felissa Rose plays Angela in part 1, Bruce Springsteen’s sister, Pamela, plays an older version of the character in the next two...

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022)

While some fans of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre made their way over to Netflix for the new film, the ride or die fans sauntered over to Amazon Prime. Why? Because they have Night Court… featuring John Larroquette. That joke doesn’t really land, since he narrated this sequel too, but seriously, you should watch Night Court. This was originally meant to be an episode where the hosts simply talked about movies in their collections that they hated or at the very least disliked. Then Ade popped in to ...

Ali Larter in Horror

Join Mikey, Doug and Ade as they dive into the first episode of Women's March about the talented Ali Larter and her contribution to the horror community! You may have first seen Ali Larter in her titular whipped-cream bikini in Varsity Blues, but we realized that she's actually in a lot of horror and thrillers as well. We talk about her Final Destination films, Resident Evil Films, her remake of House on Haunted Hill, and we even throw in a quick discussion for some of our other favorites, that ...

Kolobos 1999 - Indie horror

Hey goons! Let's talk independent horror this week on Slashers Podcast, where Ade and Mikey use their "Call Your Ghoulfriends" card to discuss 1999's Kolobos! This one is available on Tubi so we both highly recommend the watch. I know that as an Indie horror, it probably has some cringey, eye rolling moments, but it's also worth every second!

Demon Seed (1977)

Happy Valentine's Day, all our Mutant Goons! Welcome to another episode of our (Fe)bruary killer robot month where your hosts cover 1977's Demon Seed based upon the Dean Koontz novel of the same name. The film is directed by Donald Cammell and stars Julie Christie, Fritz Weaver and Gerritt Graham, while Robert Vaughn voices the titular and evil Proteus. Don't let the decade for this film fool you, it will get under your skin and drag you along on a demented and cabin-fever-riddled ride, as it is...

Child's Play (2019)

Welcome to week 2 of our (Fe)Bruary Killer Robot horror month! This week, join Jake and Ade as they discuss the killer doll slash droid reimagining of Child's Play -- that's right, Child's Play 2019! While this was sacrilege, according to Ade, when it came out, we find that this actually a good, if not great, reimagining of Don Mancini's source material, and it does well with the gore and special effects. Directed by dreamy Lars Klevberg on a budge of $10 million, it grossed a whopping $45 milli...

Hey goons! We're trying something a little different this month wherein we are releasing a clip of our JanuScary Patreon Bonus episode to the public.

Two-Sentence Horror

In a break from the snowy theme for the month, Slashing Through the Snow, the hosts have decided to dive into Reddit for some Two-Sentence Horror. Jake sorted the subreddit by the highest upvoted submissions of all time, then he and Ade created movie pitches for each. Most include the film title, actors, and directors.

Winterbeast (1992) - A Slashers Smoke Break Special

Slashing through the Snow this month on Slashers Podcast means movies with SNOW. Unfortunately, snow is not present in Winterbeast, as Doug and Coker mention, however, it does deliver on camp and gore. Listen in and find out why this movie is compared with the likes of Evil Dead! Winterbeast was released in 1992 and has some interesting history behind it, and is about a small New England town being ravaged by possessed totem poles! It is a directed by Christopher Thies and stars Tim R. Morgan, M...

Stephen King's Misery (1990)

Welcome to Slashers Podcast's month of December, "Slashing through the Snow," where we discuss titles that take place in zero degree weather and mountains of fresh powder (snow, that is, not the other stuff). Considering that guys reside in California and Ade's all the way in Florida, it's not like any of us get to enjoy it unless we literally plan a vaca around it; so this is the next best thing! This week, Jake and Ade talk a Stephen King favorite, Misery, directed by All in the Family's Rob R...

Thanksgorging Week 5 - The Silence of the Lambs

Happy Cyber Monday, Goons!!! This last week of November, Jake and Ade go through The Silence of the Lambs, directed by Jonathan Demme and adapted from Thomas Harris' novel of the same name (screenplay by Ted Tally--who also adapted Red Dragon!). We chose this one for its gorging/cannibalism by Dr. Hannibal Lecter, but also because it is truly a cinematic masterpiece. From its score by Howard Shore (Scanners, Se7en, Videodrome, The Fly, Big, etc...), to the incredible acting chops of Anthony Hopk...

Thanksgorging Week 4 - La Grande Bouffe (The Big Feast 1973)

Firstly, we just want to wish all our amazing Mutant Goons From Beyond a happy and safe Thanksgiving!!! Since it's the week of feasting, what better way to close out this month than with Doug and Coker's episode on the 1973 French Film La Grande Bouffe , or The Big Feast . This one focuses on a group of men who travel to a home in the French countryside where they decide they will eat themselves to death. Of course, this wouldn't just go down as simply as that, as there is sex, hookers, and plen...

Thanksgorging Week 3 - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2 (1986)

This week for Thanksgorging, we feature a film with what is inarguably Jake's favorite horror movie poster of all time: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2! For those of you wonderying why we didn't review the first, the answer is twofold: 1) every podcast has done an episode on it; 2) we put it behind a damn paywall. #shamelessplugforourmiddlingpatreon This film, like the original, was directed by Tobe Hooper. It was written by someone named L. M. Kit Carson, who kinda just fell into obscurity t...

Thanksgorging Week 2 - The Stuff (1985)

Happy Week 2 of our Thanksgorging month here on Slashers Podcast. We’re continuing our theme of nasty gorging with Larry Cohen’s The Stuff (1985). You know Larry Cohen from movies like It’s Alive, Phone Booth and Cellular , amongst many others. The film stars Michael Moriarty as Mo, because he always wants “Mo” money, as well as Paul Sorvino, Danny Aiello--of all people-- Andrea Marcovicci and Scott Bloom. The best character of the film, as all of us agree on, is Chocolate Chip Charlie played by...

Thanksgorging Week 1 - Near Dark

Welcome Mutant Goons to our first week of Thanksgorging here on Slashers Podcast! This week Doug and Ade dive into Kathryn Bigelow's debut film Near Dark (1987). This film stars the amazing Bill Paxton, Lance Henrikson, and Jenette Goldstein, whom you may remember starred together in a little James Cameron film, Aliens. Cameron suggested that Bigelow throw in his actors for good measure, and boom, we have a vampire horror western which Doug finds reminiscent of Rob Zombie's The Devil's Rejects. ...

Defending the Lesser Halloween Films

Halloween is a series that spans 12 films, novels, comics, and saucy, saucy fan fiction... so saucy. But let's admit it, not all of the of them are good, right? In fact, some of them are pretty bad. Virtually no horror franchise is immune to weak installments, regardless how iconic. That is why Ade is acting as the public defender of sorts for the lesser Halloween films. In this last installment of Talktober, we feature each of the branching and divergent timelines. Curse of Thorn? We got you co...

Welcome to Talktober! That's right, and entire month of talking... on a podcast... wait wait wait, this theme kinda makes sense.

Is Student Bodies (1981) the Naked Gun of Horror?

The last week of Hack to School is upon us, and the class is body shop... as in... Student Bodies shop. Boom. We truly save the best punny title for last. This week we ponder, Is Student Bodies the Naked Gun of Horror? Never seen it?

Hack to School month continues with Idle Hands from our hosts' awkward adolescence, and yours too (probably). The film was directed by Rodman Flender, who had a tremendous amount of restraint in taking the chance to reshoot the entire ending to ensure that it was tonally accurate to the remainder of the film. Idle Hands was written by Terri Hughes and Ron Milbauer. The team started with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and have gone on to write and produce tons of content. We talk about all of the u...
