At the intersection of feminism and cryptozoology, you'll find many a shattered and sympathetic character, along with more than your typical number of meta-physical portals to other realities and men trying to keep you from realizing your inner power. There's also an abundance of white, murky slime and confusingly sensual canals. Learn the deepest secrets of womanhood while listening to two overweight bearded men sigh and wheeze on...
It's gory, it's slimy, it's nasty, it's transgressive, it's not E.T., not Alien, not The Brood, but also not a lot of movies that came after it. What is it? It's Xtro and the latest episode of Loathsome Things: The Worst Podcast about Horror Movies!
For our next creative writing exercise, we're going to explore a social occasion you're familiar with. Think of a time you spent with other people where you made yourself or were made emotionally vulnerable, then launch away from the factuality of that occasion, and instead pilot it towards the style of storytelling you've been most interested in lately and stretch the truth you remember with the truth you're trying to achieve. It'...
This time-a-rooski, we reviewed the first film to be shot in Raymond Spottiswoode's "Depth Dimension" 3-D. It's a nutty little Canadian flick about that new-fangled "psychiatry" my loved ones won't stop going on about, and boy does this movie display a firm grasp over what that is! What we have here is a visual effects buffet sandwiched between long bouts of really crap 1961 people having terrible movie scenes together. This one is...
We kept up our annual tradition of visiting a Frankenlotter... Frank Hookenl... Frank Henenlotter folm, film. A Frank Henenlotter film. This time, it's Frankenhanker... Frankenhooker. Dear God, what's wreng woth me on the newest episode of Loathsome Things: A Great Horror Movie Podcast to Listen To While You Sleep

It's a new episode of Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast not fit for human consumption, bringing you a filthy, degenerate pile of frothy, unhygienic movie slime that makes us giggle while we squirm. Splatter all ye who enter Flatbush to watch Street Trash!
A rare entry to our dislustrious "DO NOT WATCH" list, this penultimate Hammer film has a cool demon puppet, great Christopher Lee face stuff, a top-notch crucifix, and some stuff I won't type because that's not the type of searches we want to be a result for. It's bad. Do yourself a favor by just listening to us and not watching the movie!
You can't get much more Loathsome than The Thing, itself. You've got action, comedy, explosions, the greatest practical monster effects showcase, and the very most good boy in movie history. Go watch the movie again, it's totally worth it!
Join us for our grand 100th episode, wherein we cover the folk horror of all folk horrors, The Wicker Man!!
Sorry about the previous audio version. How's this?
A Stephen King novel adapted for the screen, directed by David Cronenberg, and with Christopher Walken playing the main character. Surely this is a recipe for an out-of-this-world amazing horror cinema experience... right? Johnny Walken Black wakes up with low-grade molestation powers and angles his career toward spending alone time with children while folks at the highest levels of society disregard his scams, or maybe he can see...
A Shaw Brothers kung-fu giallo from the unsung king of Hong Kong cult films. Let the bodies coat with worms! It's Loathsome Things: A podcast about the horror movies your mom wouldn't be happy to find you watching!
Charmingly outdated-by-1981-standards practical effects, wild borrowings from the best of recent and distant masterpieces of influence, and maybe a pinch of the ol' booger sugar informed this revered Italian director's take on the supernatural something set in 1980 New Orleans for reasons not fathomable, but from a fathomableness of The Beyond! That's right, the year was 2024, the medium was a podcast, and the rss feed was Loathsom...
Welcome to the Neo-French Extremity? New French Post-Extremity? Who can say? It's a really rad zombie movie about youthful, drug-fueled sex and paranoia, poor parenting, and a very strange relationship with authority... or is it? Enter one of the top 5 greatest zombie movies of all time. Possibly THE greatest? I don't know. It's Loathsome Things: a high production value storytelling podcast known to cause constipation and diarrhea ...
Not actually about Brian De Palma's female siblings, this film is instead about Brian De Palma weird, hazy, perhaps deeply subconscious feelings about white women, their role in society, their capabilities as functional humans, and the role that black men play in his feelings. Also, it's a Hitchcockian something-or-other in a decidedly pre-masterpiece phase of Brian's directorial development. Call it De Palchcockian. Anyway, it's a...
Is it folk horror? Is it Babadookie? Is it sci-fi? We're not really sure from whence this sub-step monster was spawned, but we know we mostly liked it with a few quabbles. How long can we spend discussing the quabbles you ask? Well, you're in luck, because you're about to find out while listening to this thoughtful and un-biased think piece about the 2024 horror film Daddy's Head nowhere else but here on Loathsome Things: the best ...
New? Not so much. French? Absolue! Extremity? Not for long. Join us as we explore the surprising twists and turns of this horror masterpiece directed by a real piece of work. That's right, it's Pascal Laugier's 2008 masterpiece: Martyrs. Are we all victims, monsters, or dancers? You be the judge, then witness your own guilt... or something. Bourgeoisie!
