Fall is finally here!!!
Little weird that we decided to do a movie that is VERY SPECIFICALLY BASED IN THE SPRING, I guess...but whaddya gonna do, this movie sure FEELS like Halloween!
We set aside our collective disdain for the DISGUSTING, VILE, PUTRID WASTE OF SPACE that director Victor Salva is this week to talk about his movie that somehow exists post-prison sentence...JEEPERS CREEPERS (2001).
All discussions of character and moral...
Damn you, 2026! RIP Sam, this one's for you!
Welp, we lost another legend in the great Sam Neill this year...and somehow, amazingly, Paul W. S. Anderson's Event Horizon (1997) was already next in our lineup. Almost as if it were written...in the stars? (Get it? Cuz space?)
All jokes aside, we sat down for a fun discussion on a very underrated sci-fi horror flick in this one. Maybe not the best graphics in certain spots, maybe it had ...
HI, KIDS! Do you like violence? Do you wanna see a family burned inside of their ride like rye chips? Watch a bunch of mystery murders in a bunch of fly clips? Well, look no further, I can guarantee you're gonna like this...
These kids parents is dead weight...I'm trying to get my head straight...just watched a bunch Sinister shit in a bunch of snuff tapes...
And Professor Jonas said, "Ellis, you are way dead." ("Nuh-uh"). Then why i...
Man, where's Miracle Max when ya need him, huh?
You asked for it, and we delivered! We had to jump on the bandwagon before it rolls out of the station to talk about Curry Barker's MASTERPIECE that's taken the country by storm...OBSESSION (2026)!
You may be surprised to find that we initially had WILDLY different takes on this...ok, maybe it's not THAT surprising, but damn it, we still managed to kick out one HELL of a conversation on...
Welcome to the neighborhood!
Do you ever have problems with your weird neighbors? Rude paperboys that knock your coffee out of your hand? High strung tenants firing guns all over the place? Dogs pooping in your yard? What happens when the neighborhood busybody.....is YOU?!
We decided to cleanse our paletes this week after getting them all grimed up from Terrifier 2, so we went to the COMPLETE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE SPECTRUM by covering...
Y'all ready to be Terrified?
Join us this week for another thrilling (and completely disgusting) jaunt into the realm of Art the Clown! With a whole new cast of characters, and a much more FLESHED OUT script (yes, pun intended), Damien Leone's sophomore effort outdoes the original in every way! More blood, more gore, more silly slapstick humor...and the final result is a RIPPING good time you don't want to miss!
Break out your comfie...
Nis...nis tutarim everybody, it's time to party down with the Deadites!
For this week's episode, we decided to kick it old school again with one of the most beloved cult classic films of all time...Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead (1981)!
Do you have a love of card games, "Friendsgiving" dinners, road trips to remote cabins, and/or dismembering your loved ones to save yourself and their soul? Well, this might just be your movie!
This episode...
Who's ready for a good ol' fashioned Alabama Ass-Kickin'??
The Firefly Family is back as we cover the second installment in Rob Zombie's "Hellbilly"trilogy, The Devil's Rejects (2005), featuring your favorites (and ours), Baby, Otis, and good ol' Captain Spaulding! Could things GET more messed up than House of 1,000 Corpses? OF COURSE! There's always room for an extra body or two. Houses ARE bigger in Texas, I hear.
Grab some sunbloc...
Rise and shine, campers! Grab your sleeping bags and your ponchos, because it's about to get bloody...
With summer in full swing, we thought what better movie to cover than one that kicked off a franchise that's literally synonymous with the season...Friday the 13th (1980)!
Just close your eyes and imagine...crickets chirping across a still, dark lake...the crackling sounds of a campfire and the smell of marshmallows roasting...the s...
Welcome to Santa Cru-uh, Carla! The Mur-uh, vamp-uh...comic and VHS tape capital of the world! Definitely no murder or vampires here, just forget I said that...
We're keeping those summer vibes going this week with Joel Schumacher's fresh, sexy vampire romp from 1987, The Lost Boys! Do you like dogs, boardwalks and prank-playing grandpas? How about motorcycles, garlic and a little train bridge hangin'? Well look no further, because ...
Greetings from Halsingland! Are you ready for the festivities to begin??
Now that the weather has FINALLY turned and the sun is back, we decided to sit down to talk about Ari Aster's second feature film, MIDSOMMAR (2019), and it sure is a beautiful movie! So brightly lit, so warm, so refreshing. So many pretty colors like the flowers in Dani's May Queen gown, the yellow of the sacred temple, the blush of Christian's special COCKtail...
Hey kids, who's ready for a pool party???
We've got Freddy manning the grill this week as we dig into part 2 of the Nightmare on Elm Street Franchise!
Deemed one of the "gayest films ever" (rude), we think for as much hate as this movie gets, it's STILL near the top end of installments in this series, with great body horror, hilarious moments (intentional or otherwise), and sure, some very gay subtext, but screw you 80's, what's wron...
Well, hey there, gorgeous! We sure do love a movie with substance here at The Cinebytes, don't you?
Get ready to get gross (physically and emotionally) in this VERY feminist-minded film from a couple years ago that people are still talking about today - The Substance (2024)!
We had both seen this previously, and we STILL weren't prepared to dive into all this movie has to offer. Emotional turbulence, diminished self-worth, and all th...

...wait, what was that last part?
You guessed it folks, we sat down to talk about the legendary George A. Romero's second installment in the "of the dead...
Well, kiss me Blarney stones, it looks like it's that time of the year again!
The chill is starting to leave the air, replaced with the sounds of a lilting pan flute, and what's this...a space marine is giving wein birth to a full-grown gold goblin. How magical, indeed.
We really must apologize in advance for the shit show you're about to experience, as we inexplicably chose part FOUR of this...promising, but ultimately horrendous fr...
"Are you watching?..."
We hope you did, because if you didn't, you missed out on a HELL of a good time!
We sat down this week to talk about Zach Cregger's sophomer effort, WEAPONS (2025), and it did NOT disappoint.
Who would you suspect if an entire flock of children from one town went missing at once...but...separately?
How much vodka would you need to cope with the whole town breathing down your neck?
Just how much soup can one boy ca...
Hello, Sid-nebytes! What's YOUR favorite Scary Movie?
With Scream 7 just around the corner, we HAD to revisit this CLASSIC franchise. And revisit we did, turning in another fun episode in the process! A heapin' helpin' of your favorites from the OG are BACK to be terrorized by the one and only...two and only?...Ghostface killah'(s). We loved coming back to the universe of Woodsboro CA...even if this one DOES take place in Ohio...may...
Happy Valentimes, Cinebyters! Here's hoping you all have someone to have Heart Eyes for this year!
As for us, we've got Heart Eyes for this movie! This week, we wanted to chat about this fun holiday hit that's equal parts Rom-Com and Bloody Slasher, and fun from start to finish!
With a cool, original baddie(s?)...and an all-star cast full of baddies...this is a great addition to the relatively small stable of options for occasion-app...
Hey, all you cockadoody listeners! Welcome to Stephen King month! Are you ready for MORE wintertime fun? Then look no further, as we've got yet ANOTHER adaptation for your listening pleasure.
We decided to give the legendary Rob Reiner a nice send-off (RIP), covering his only horror movie, written by the legendary Stephen King, and featuring the legendary Kathy Bates in an Oscar-winning performance! It's gonna be legendary...
So grab...

DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
