Eric and Neil bring out the sides dishes and talk about the holiday themed slasher, Thanksgiving from 2023. It follows the classic slasher formula, but is fun and gory in the best way. Grab the gravy and join us!
Eric, Neil and David end the November Stephen King Trifecta with the much maligned alien invasion movie, Dreamcatcher. It has too many ideas executed in a mundane way. We talk about the number of King tropes as well as defend his best works. Grab your psychic friend and join us!
Our mini "Worst of Stephen King" series continues with the 1992 oddity, Sleepwalkers. Eric, Neil and David are all here for a less then enthusiastic ride. We also discuss side gig options for David during the government shut down. Grab your closest kitty and join us!
Eric and Neil brave the awfulness of the only movie that Stephen King ever directed. The explosions and stunts are fun, but the plot is terrible and suspense and scares are severely lacking. Grab your rocket launcher and join us!
Eric, Neil and David keep the horror fest going beyond the holiday. We talk about the sequel to the "reboot", Halloween Kills. A movie that lives up to it's title. While it might not be the most intelligent of the series, it is one of the most fun and gory of them all. Evil Dies tonight! Join Us!
Eric and Neil talk about the franchise reboot, Halloween from 2018. It has pretty much everything thing you want from a Michael Myers movie. Grab a candy bag and join us!
Eric, Neil and David are bored out of their gourds talking about the Stan Winston directed movie from 1988, Pumpkinhead. The effects are great, but the story is simple and the deep fried south setting is awful. Come down to the bayou and join us!
Eric and Neil continue the horror movie madness with the 2013 Reboot of the Evil Dead. Possibly the "juiciest" movie ever made. We talk about amazing practical effects and the unflinching nature of the movie. We actually talk about the movie a lot in this episode! Grab your barf bag and join us!
Eric and Neil talk about the 1979 cult classic, Tourist Trap. Filled with a creepy vibe and even creepier mannequins. Lots of people were traumatized by the repeat viewings on local channels during the early 80's. Grab a dummy head and join us!
Eric and Neil take a break from the normal format and talk about the beloved horror sub genre, the slasher movie. We talk about the heyday of the genre in the last 70's and early 80's as well as the tropes we love and hate. Grab a kitchen knife and join us!
Our journey into the slasher films of 1981 continues with the cult classic, The Prowler. It's a run of the mill slasher movie with one difference, Tom Savini doing the effects. Join Eric, Neil and David as we talk about the ups and downs of the movie. Grab your pitchfork and join us!
David returns and joins Eric and Neil to talk about this slasher movie from 1981. We talk about the majority of the movie is just walking around in the dark. We also talk about the career of Linda Blair. Grab your really tiny radio and join us!
It's time! Time for horror movies! Eric and Neil talk about the 1981 movie, The Funhouse. Directed by Tobe Hooper. Its a nice time capsule for the early 80's with lax Boomer parenting and sleazy atmosphere. Jump on the bumper cars and join us!
It's our 250th episode! Today Eric and Neil finally talk about the elephant in the room of action cinema, Steven Segal. We talk about what might be his peak performance in, Marked For Death. We spend a lot of time talking about the myth of Steven Segal and why what looked cool back then, is laughable now. Grab your puffy satin jacket and pull your ponytail tight and join us!
Eric and Neil head back to Van Damme country with this extra cheesy slice of a movie called, Kickboxer. Its unintentionally hilarious and a must see for 1980's martial arts movie enthusiasts. Put on you loin cloth and Join us!
David is finally back this week as he joins Eric and Neil to talk about the apex of the Final Destination Series, Final Destination 3. Grab your tickets for the roller coaster and join us!
Eric and Neil return to the wet and squishy world of Clive Barker. Hellraiser 2 is a more gory and extreme sequel, but it doesn't have the surprises and horror of the original. Grab your puzzle box and join us!
Eric and Neil take a trip to Van Damme country with this thick slice of cheese. It's entertaining and of its time, but is it a good movie? Grab a bag of ice and join us!
Eric and Neil continue our voyage into the lesser sequels of amazing movies. This week we tackle Robocop 2, it's entertaining and mean spirited, but doesn't have the heart of the original. Amazing stop motion effects and some humor make it worth it. We also have a discussion about the new Superman movie. Put on your 5000 SPF sunscreen and join us!
