Two genre movie fans join forces to create the only podcast bold enough to bring rom coms and horror movies together in one unholy union.
Part 2 of 2. Movie: Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde (1979). The necromancers finish up their road trip through the theme of drag with Bret's pick, Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde. Listen to find out how Bret stumbled upon this unusual cult film and then stick around the rom com remixes!
Part 1 of 2. Movie: Victor/Victoria (1982). The necromancers are back back back again to explore the theme of drag, baby. Paris is burning and the culprit is Julie Andrews in Shira's pick, Victor/Victoria. Listen to find out how she does it and then stick around for the gender bendy remixes.
Movie: Moonstruck (1987). The necromancers wish you a merry Christmas and a spooky New Year! Bret and Shira are joined by ghoulfriend Eric Samaniego to learn the answer to the age old question: why do men chase women? The unhinged, operatic rom com Moonstruck provides several options and more. Howl at la luna with the wolves and then stick around for Eric's horror remix of this classic film.
Part 2 of 2. Movie: Bubba Ho-Tep (2002). Maybe Bret and Shira didn't treat you quite as good as they should've but you were always on their minds. That is when they weren't thinking about Bret's Elvis pick, Bubba Ho-Tep. Will Shira sympathize with old Elvis and JFK's suspicious minds or wish there was a little less conversation, a little more action, please? Listen to find out and then stick around for some unchained rom com remixe...
Part 1 of 2. Movie: Viva Las Vegas (1964). Wise men say only fools rush in but Bret and Shira can't help falling in love with Elvis Presley, the star of Necromancer's latest theme.

Listen to find out and then stick around for the hunk, a hunk burning horror remixes.
Part 2 of 2. Movie: Gretel and Hansel (2020). The necromancers follow the breadcrumbs into the woods to finish up the theme of fairy tales. Up next is Bret's pick, Gretel and Hansel.

Movie: Creature (1985). Ghoulfriend Tony Wash answers the necromancers' distress signal and gets more than he bargained for when he disembarks on their ruined spaceship/podcast. Bret may have already put Shira through his own Space Horror program but will it save her from William Malone's Creature? Come for the alien shenanigans and stay for the battle of the pitches!
Movies: 10 Things I Hate About You (1999) and Halloween (1976). The necromancers have made it to 100 episodes and they're taking another pass at "Episode 0" to celebrate! But Bret and Shira hardly need the excuse to talk about their favorite movies within their respective favorite genres. Listen and then stick around for some delightfully unhinged movie remixes.
Part 2 of 2. Movie: [REC] (2007). The necromancers have one last stop to make in their journey through Spain. It's just a routine 911 call to an apartment building. What could go wrong? The answer is a whole lot in Bret's pick, REC. Tune in to find out what the fuss is about and then stick around for some spicy remixes.
Part 1 of 2. Movie: A Spanish Affair (2014). No one expects the Spanish Inquisition! Least of all the necromancers as they travel to Spain for their latest theme. Up first is Shira's pick, A Spanish Affair. Will the duo understand all the regional humor or simply lose themselves to the rhythm of acoustic guitars and castanets? Listen to find out and then stick around for the remixes!
Part 2 of 2. The necromancers are back and they've written their own vows for Bret's pick: Hatchet for the Honeymoon, a movie that proves men will do anything to get out of going to therapy. Do you take Bret and Shira's opinions about movies to have and hold until death do you part? Ok, maybe it's not forever but there will always be remixes.
Part 1 of 2. Wedding bells are ringing and the necromancers are speaking now before forever holding their peace. You guessed it. The theme is weddings and up first is Shira's pick, Marry Me. J Lo is well established as the queen of wedding rom coms but will Bret say "I do" to Marry Me's wacky premise. Listen to find out and then stick around for the remix reception.
Part 2 of 2. Bret and Shira finish up the story of a young girl's strange, sometimes erotic journey from Canada to Hollywood. It's about time the necromancer's talked about Shira's pick, About Time. What is it about time travelers that makes Rachel McAdams keep marrying them? Listen to find out and then stick around for some timely horror remixes.
Part 1 of 2. Bret and Shira have had enough of actors. Canceled. It's all about actresses now, specifically Rachel McAdams, the star of the latest theme. Up first is Bret's pick, Red Eye, a perfect nightmare woven by Wes Craven. Can Rachel hang with Nancy and Sidney or will she fall prey to the villain. Listen to find out and then stick around for some extra kissy remixes.
Part 2 of 2. Bret and Shira can't get enough of that himbo with a heart of gold: Brendan Fraser. And why do one movie about him romancing a woman named Eve[y], when they could do two? Plus a zombie. That's right. The Mummy (1999) is Bret's pick. Don't be on the wrong side of the river! Listen and then stick around for rom com remixes that'll raise the dead.
Part 1 of 2. Bret and Shira are back with another actor themed episode and Brendan Fraser, king of 1999, is the star. The necromancers kick off the celebration of Baby B with Shira's pick, Blast From Past. You'd think a movie about a man kept inside a bomb shelter for 30 years may sound like a horror but this hidden gem is a textbook rom com. Come for Brendan Fraser's easy smiles and then stick around for some horror remixes.
Part 2 of 2. Bret and Shira fight their way through the 36 chambers to finish the theme of Kung Fu. Up next is Shira's pick: Wing Chun. Lead actress Michelle Yeoh has always been a badass but has she mastered the art of rom coms? Listen to find out and then stick around for the horror remixes.
Part 1 of 2. Bret and Shira have mastered the Necromancer style of fighting/reviewing movies. Now, they bring their best moves to the latest theme: Kung Fu movies. Bret chooses his fighters first. Human Lanterns is 100% Kung Fu and 100% horror but just how literal are these human lanterns. Listen to find out and then stick around for the rom com remixes.
Part 2 of 2. Bret and Shira are so grateful for their experience with movies. They finish up movies they're thankful for with Bret's pick, Poltergeist.
