The gang splits the Adam this week as they review the first horror movie to win an academy award, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931). Dr. Henry Jekyll (Gee-Kull) is a man who can do no wrong, but his obsession with dividing man into his darker animalistic side and the "good" side that he constantly fronts, leads him to concoct a potion that physically does just that. Held captive in his own body while his dark mind runs wild ...

The gang calls in the big guns this week as they (Pete) reviews our first entry for Pre-Code November, the OG Scarface starring Paul Muni. Joining Pete on his journey is crowd favorite, Aunt Linda, to drop some knowledge on the class about the short era between the inception of talkies, and the Hays Code being enacted. It's a fascinating time in film history, and Scarface is a fascinating movie to go along with it.

The gang pays with sex this week as they review the movie that gave Jane Fonda the Sex Kitten moniker, Barbarella (1968). Released on the heels of The Summer of Love, this is a true B Movie spectacle complete with bad writing, bad acting, rushed production, and plenty of sex and violence. The Patreon pick that is closing out B-Movie September may not be Kino masterpiece, but it is required viewing for and student of cinema.

The gang take a tour of Tromaville this week as they review the cult classic anti-super hero movie, The Toxic Avenger. Spawning 2 sequels and a 2025 remake starring Elijah Wood and Peter Dinklage, the zero to hero story seems to capture the hearts of those who can see past the gross-out antics in the film. With explicit body gore and indiscriminate violence, many audiences pass on Toxie, but to those who appreciate those things, it...

The gang makes magic with $25k this week, as they review the cult classic creature feature, The Deadly Spawn. Our 2nd entree into B-movie September, and we're starting to feel more in the B horror spirit. The Deadly Spawn is clearly a passion project that should not be as good as it is based on the inexperienced crew, lack of funding, and plot that has been done a million times before. Thank God that wasn't the case, beca...

The gang summons a blind demon this week, as they review the New Zealand indie comedy horror, Deathgasm. Kick off our B-movie September with a movie that is arguably not even a B movie, but is loads of fun, with buckets of blood. The story behind how the movie was made is almost as fun as the movie itself, and keep your eyes peeled for the sequel set to release this year. Watch Deathgasm on your streaming service of choice then wei...

The gang dies of cringe but returns for love this week, as they review the ill-fated remake of the cult goth classic... The Crow (2024). Starring Billy Skars and SKA Twigs, this upcycled emo sad-boy tragedy wrapped in a Hot Topic leather duster seemed to be doomed from the start. Maybe that's why the gang decided to subject themselves to it as a punishment movie for the bonus week of Erotic Thriller August. Stream The Crow on ...

With an original by Blondie, and a wardrobe from a then-not so hot Giorgio Armani, this movie takes the audience into the mysterious life of Julian... the best cocksman in the game. But double crosses, and murder is in store for anyone that gets too close. Watch in the Criterion c...
