Fearless Films

Fearless Films

Fearless Films Podcast is a weekly show where we walk through horror movies, breaking down the beats, discussing the lore and interesting trivia of all the best (and worst) in the horror movie genre. The show started as Pete, the horror buff, explaining the plots of horror movies to Kevin, the scaredy cat, who hates being scared but is intrigued by these modern mythologies. Kevin eventually retired from the podcast, but the show goes on! Pete is now joined by Sarah, who also loves horror movies, and they continue the tradition of explaining the scariest stories to all the scaredy cats out there, so they don't have to watch the movies.

Judd Nelson is back and he is still a monster in this week's entry, a Lifetime movie called The Girl in the Basement!

Sarah takes us through this domestic horror film that is sickeningly based on true events. A family man holds his daughter captive in his secret basement dungeon for many years and father's multiple children with her. This entire movie is basically a two hour trigger warning.

Long before Halloween made it the hottest trend and Scream was spoofing the idea, Jaws was the master of the requel.

This week, Pete takes us through Jaws: The Revenge, a film that completely ignores the events of the third entry and bills itself as the "actual" end of the trilogy.

Lorrain Gary returns from retirement to portray Ellen Brody, widow and grieving mother after the death of her youngest son. Her ol...

Just when you thought October was safe again... it's another franchise!!

This year, Pete is hunting for the sequels to one of the greatest movies of all time, Jaws! Somehow, this cinema classic got not only one, but three sequels. And one of them is even a requel, starting well before Halloween made that its defining feature.

Jaws 2, from 1978, is a mix of the classic Jaws formula and the then-budding slasher genre...

When the students of an athletic academy begin disappearing in bloody ways, their Olympic dreams will become... an Olympic Nightmare!!

...wait a second, the name of this movie is Fatal Games. Or is it The Killing Touch?

No matter which of its many titles you pick, Pete's choice this week is a bad 80's slasher movie that suffers from being overly tropey, horribly offensive on multiple fronts, and just a general...
