Happy holidays to everyone! We hope everyone is having a safe and happy time! Thank you for sticking with our humble little podcast for yet another year. We appreciate everyone’s support and feedback and cannot wait to bring you more content in 2026. We have a lot planned for next year. But first...

‘Tis the season and we are in the holiday mood. As you open your Christmas presents this year, some will be better than others. But if you didn’t peek, all of them should be a surprise. This week we get into the spirit and talk about some of the most surprising movies we have ever covered.

After our Thanksgiving break an another unexpected hiatus we are back. And we are returning with something special. As with all special editions, we have a lot to say and do not hold back anything. This week’s show has cover one of our favorite directions in a genre that we love.

Before we continue our twisting journey through Derry, Maine, we discuss an overlooked Southern gothic story from a few years back. Religion, family, love, and music all come together in a powerful tale. When we do head up north, we finally have some positive things to say - sorta.

It is no secret that we are long time Stephen King fans. We have talked about his movies, books, and television shows. We even reviewed a documentary that included him as a talking head. So, it is not surprising that we would cover the new HBO series adapted from one of his works. But we never thought we would cover something by his son in the same episode.

We are big fans of lore. It is great when a movie will fill you in on history. Even when it is not necessary to forward the plot, the added flavor can give a story that extra oomph that puts it over the top. Stephen King’s It is an excellent example. The Hell House LLC franchise is how not to do it. We talk about both in this week’s show.

Few things are more associated with Halloween that witches. This week we are not only reviewing a witch movie, we are dealing the most infamous witch trials in American history. We then have a deep cut that is perfect for 31 Days of Halloween consumption. An Italian exploitation master delivers one of the best cheesy horror movies of the 1980s.

We are halfway through the spookiest month of the year and have a lot to talk about. We have covered some great indie and horror movies on our humble little podcast. Which is why our first movie this week really disappointed us. And our feature presentation was just confusing. Not bad, but very confusing.

We have more from Shudder this week as we talk about one of the most visually impressive movies of the year. Just one look at the trailer will have you asking, is it just style over substance? A similar question can be asked about our feature presentation. Many will wonder if it is more than just its cute gimmick.

October is finally upon us and we have the perfect movie to talk about. As a bonus, it combines two of our favorite sub-genres in horror. And it is a taste of what may have been. But before we get to the Halloween fun, we head out to the lake and get horny. A fun sized episode filled with treats, kills, and sex.

For those who thought last week’s werewolf/women in prison hybrid was as strange as our humble little podcast would get, we would like to present our latest episode: fishing horror. Not sharksploitation, not a creature feature. Actual fishing. We also talk about a new film from Shudder that starts strong before fading away.

Sometimes the name of the movie tells you everything that you need to know. Other times, you have no idea what you are in for. This week we have a movie whose name says it all, and a new release that does not reveal anything with its title. Can you guess which is the one that we preferred? The answer will shock you.

If horror movies have taught us anything, it is that groups of friends should not go on vacation together. At least, not when you really do not like each other. This week, we talk about two movies with very similar setups: vacationing friends getting caught up in something they are not equipped to handle.

We are back and we are feeling nostalgic. We dipped into our childhoods to find two re-imaginings of 1980s movies. One of them is seen as utter dreck. The other is one of the most beloved cult classics to come out of the decade. That means there is a lot of baggage for both of our reviews. (Yes, it was a coincidence.)

Horror has had a great year. From the box office success of Sinners to the critical acclaim of Companion, there has been a lot for genre fans to enjoy. Still, it was hard not to be a little worried for Weapons. An original horror IP released during the summer is a huge risk. We talk about how the movie prevailed, why, and what it means for the future.

The past few weeks we have had a blast covering the Fantasia Film Festival. This week is our last review from the fest as we cover a movie that takes on a very serious issue in today’s society. From there, we travel to the south of France to watch a film about modern day bull fighting and gender roles.

This week we have a double feature from Fantasia. On top of that, both of them are World Premieres! We are always down for any sort of erotic story. But what will happen when Alex Phillips - the demented mind that brought us one of the wildest movies we have ever covered - is given the reins? Our second world premiere has a lot going on under the hood, and we did not know what to expect.

This week, we begin our coverage from Fantasia. And what a pair of movies we have for you! Before we get to one of the fest’s newer movies, we take things back a few decades. In 1977, the Shaw Brothers released a movie meant to capitalize on the worldwide success of Star Wars. Terrestrial is a world premiere from Fantasia that has some strong names attached to it. Unfortunately, there are also some strange writing decisions.

It is one of our favorite times of year as Fantasia is upon us. This week we give audiences a taste of what is to come. But before we go full blown film fest, we have a pair of witch movies that snuck up on us. One is an artsy exploitation flick that is incredibly hard to describe. The other may be the perfect film for budding kino lovers.

We are back with a special edition! This week we talk about the sequel to one of our favorite movies of 2022. Usually, when we do these shows it is a fairly quick turnaround. There is about a week of box office and discourse and that is it. However, we had a little bit more for our talk about M3GAN 2.0.
