It's an orifice bursting time... just the way H.R....

Welcome to Night...Owls?!

This week, Matt and Cody tune in and tune back for one of the buzziest titles to hit late night and the Horror zeitgeist all year! The boys talk David Dastmalchian's turn around a leading role, split story-telling techniques, and the hallmarks of dressing women from the 70's. Not to mention: powerful talk show sidekicks, healthy psychic skepticism, and who really is the devil around here...

Life at last!

This week, Cody and Matt lay down some tasty jams and sizzling riffs in the second half of their De Palma De Double De Feature! They discuss tantalizing toe-tappers, superb cinematography, and that pretty wild Paul Williams.

Then, Matt is joined by...

These are Godless times, Mrs. Snell...

It's their annual Mother's Day episode so this week, Matt and Cody finally chat about one of the films they reference most on this show and their second Stephen King adaptation of the year.  The boys talk iconic actors, diabolical mothers, and telekinetic super powers.

They're  always looking for an excuse to sing.

This week, Cody and Matt take a stroll down one of London's most infamous streets looking for a shave... but find one of their most chaotic episodes yet!

There's also plenty of hilarious hats, nonsensical Nans, and mouth-w...

Are they being paid by the word?

This week, Matt and Cody are once again joined by playwright and educator Emily McClain to talk about more animatronic killers and sadly less Nicolas Cage.

Not to mention: influencers infringing upon Hollywood's dayp...

Something's rotten!

This week, Cody and Matt visit one of 2023's most shocking horror films. They discuss expert world-building, the marvels of a well crafted mystery, and the top notch gore that goes into turning your child into a popcorn bucket. If that wasn't gruesome enough for you, they also discuss the ill-fated grandma, the foul smelling neighbor, and the broadway-bound musical!

Call the clea...

It's Bud Time!

This week, Matt and Cody hot-wire a car, a few in fact, in continuation of their look back at 2023, and just in time for this year's Harvest. The boys talk novel inspiration, 50's perspiration, and Misfits appropriation. They have a "Hay"day with the lure and a Field day with the acting choices. Not to mention: fuzzy cornfields, drunken parental units, lengthy hallways, what exactly ...

She's lean. She's mean. She's an incredibly entertaining machine.

This week, Cody and Matt begin their look back at 2023 with the little robot girl that could.

Take a hike!

This week, Matt and Cody board a VW's rusted out bottom and take the path of least resistance towards one of their mutual favorite cult classics of the 2010's.

Not to mention: unexpected creature comforts, punching the elderly, who they would ...

This show is really going down... under!

This week, Cody and Matt decide to take a dip into the world of mockumentary horror with this certified cult classic.

Don't worry, even with these massive themes of grief and family to chew over.....

And Then There Were 3 Women and 4 Men!

This week, Matt and Cody board a dinghy to the isle of classic Murder Mysteries with one of the undisputed greats of the genre. They would send you an  invite to listen to a record of their demise, but why should this week be any different? The boys chat tropes and trends of the classic mystery while also hacking their way through the style, Veteran Character Actors (including perhaps...

The buzz... is BACK!

This week, Cody and Matt find themselves on different sides of the county line as they go head-to-head over this divisive sequel.

Don't we lose it all every seven days...well...WELL...

This week, Matt and Cody are unkind (as usual) and rewind back to the 90's for one of the most influential Japanese Horror movies of all time.

True... True... TRUE!

This week, Cody and Matt descend into the dark abyss that is Edgar Allan Poe's horrific tale of pits, pendulums, and incredibly thick cobwebs. They discuss the creative liberties one might take while adapting the classics, the ghoulish glory of the set decorator, and the legacy of director/producer/icon Roger Corman. They also fawn over the immortal Vincent Price and devilishly talented Barbara S...

It's Only a Pod...It's Only a Pod...It's Only a Pod...

This week, Matt and Cody missed a turn somewhere back there, took a right, then a left, followed a road, and ended up in this Wes Craven and Sean Cunningham cult classic. The boys have a hay day with direction puns, kazoo musical stings, and diabolical parental revenge. Not to mention: the legacy of these horror masters, cops that won't stop, multi-...

We all knew that love hurts... but this is ridiculous!

This week, Cody and Matt celebrate Valentine's Day and take a bite out of this cult classic.

What will you give us for a basket full of nonsense?

This week, Matt and Cody take the Rhoda less traveled back to the fifties to cover one of the most prominent stage-to-screen adaptations in Horror.

Not to mention: psychology and societal expectations, other a...

Be our victim...
