Animal in a Box (GRAVE ENCOUNTERS [2011])

May 6, 2025 • 87 mins
Our Christmas episode is still coming (albeit way, way after December), but we're taking a quick detour to the Collingwood Psychiatric Hospital. It's Episode 76, so it's the perfect time to have our resident 76ers fan Jacob choose a movie to review. And being our resident found-footage fan as well, for our latest episode Jacob has chosen GRAVE ENCOUNTERS (2011), written and directed by The Vicious Brothers. We also discuss the Kic...

Gotta Love Hope (THINGS WILL BE DIFFERENT [2024] feat. Michael Felker)

February 14, 2025 • 151 mins
The Rustic Signal has been lit! Although this episode is being released later than we'd hoped (although if we're reviewing a time travel movie, maybe our delays don't count this time around?), we're very excited for everyone to check out our discussion of the latest release from Rustic Films: THINGS WILL BE DIFFERENT (2024). And even better, we're so delighted to be joined by the movie's writer/director Michael Felker for a specia...

Give Me the Stones (WARLOCK: THE ARMAGEDDON [1993] feat. Duane Swierczynski)

November 27, 2024 • 144 mins
This one is something special. That statement doesn't just apply to the movie WARLOCK: THE ARMAGEDDON (1993) from director Anthony Hickox, which is the subject of this new episode. As much as the movie itself made for an entertaining discussion, what makes it special is that we're joined on this episode by returning guest Duane Swierczynski! We had a wonderful time chatting with Duane in our LORD OF ILLUSIONS episode a couple yea...

Something Beyond Comprehension (THE EXORCIST [1973])

October 27, 2024 • 119 mins
It's our 2024 Halloween special! The trailer for the subject of our new episode refers to "Something beyond comprehension," which also applies to our pod as one of our hosts has never seen this horror classic before. For our Halloween celebration this year, our host Jacob has chosen THE EXORCIST (1973) from director William Friedkin and writer William Peter Blatty! It's a bit daunting tackling a movie that casts a shadow as long a...

Some Few Remarks Upon a Pod Most Dire (WARLOCK [1989])

October 20, 2024 • 104 mins
It's our second Steve Miner movie in a row, as we're reviewing WARLOCK (1989) in our latest episode! We thought this would be an interesting movie to discuss after having so much fun talking about HOUSE (1985) in our previous episode, but we bumped it up the priority list after our host Eric watched its sequel WARLOCK: THE ARMAGEDDON (1993). A review of that sequel is coming up soon (with a very special guest!), but before then ...

Realistic Battle Damage (HOUSE [1985])

October 7, 2024 • 91 mins
Believe it or not, this episode's been a long time coming for us. We've talked about covering this movie since the beginning of the pod, but we finally sat down to review HOUSE (1985)! This film from director Steve Miner and writers Fred Dekker and Ethan Wiley has been a favorite of our host Nick for many, many years, and it was a delight to finally discuss it on the show. Although this review is not without its cost, as Nick has t...

Passionate Crime (SPELLCASTER [1988])

August 31, 2024 • 100 mins
Last year we accompanied our Doug Jones Day episode with a review of the cult classic SPOOKIES, featuring an ensemble of characters under siege from an evil sorcerer and his peculiar assortment of supernatural minions. This year we're following a similar pattern, but swapping out the Jay Estate in New York for Castello Di Giove in Italy, a locale that will be familiar to fans of the movies of Charles Band and Empire International P...

We're back! Yet again! Apologies for another long absence, and a sincere thank you to all of our listeners who reached out in the interim. We'll get into more details on where we've been in the next episode, but we weren't going to miss our annual Doug Jones Day celebration. This year it was Jacob's turn to pick the movie, and after picking LEGION a few years back, this year he chose another movie that features both Doug Jones and...

It's our very first comic book episode! Although we've reviewed several movie adaptations of comics in previous episodes (SWAMP THING, BLADE, CONSTANTINE, etc), we're delighted to review our first comic miniseries on the podcast: NIGHT OF THE GHOUL from writer Scott Snyder and artist Francesco Francavilla. We get into what prompted our first comic review during the review, but this was a delight to record and we're so excited to ...

Please join us in wishing a happy house-warming to our host Nick Leamy! Nick detailed some of the home-buying headaches he and his family were dealing with back in our SPOOKIES episode, but that's all been settled and everyone's settling into a lovely new home. To celebrate this, we asked Nick to pick a movie to celebrate and he chose the original THE AMITYVILLE HORROR (1979), from director Stuart Rosenberg and starring Margot Kid...

Happy Doug Jones Day everybody! It's our fourth year in a row celebrating our favorite horror holiday: the anniversary of the day Doug Jones worked on the set of Mike Flanagan's movie ABSENTIA. This year we're celebrating by watching THE DARKLING (2000), a USA original tv movie starring F Murray Abraham and Aidan Gillen (and of course Doug Jones, in the role of "Shadow Master").

Our not-quite-lost-but-certainly-long-delayed review of BEHIND THE MASK: THE RISE OF LESLIE VERNON (2006) is here! As mentioned in our SPOOKIES review, we recorded this episode back in January, but wanted to come back from hiatus with something else before this episode was released. Big thanks to everyone who voted for this movie in our Robert Englund poll, and apologies for the delay! Up next is our fourth annual "Doug Jones Day"...

The Nice Harvest (THE LEECH [2022])

December 30, 2022 • 87 mins
Happy (very-belated) Holidays everyone!! It has been a bit of a rough month for all three of us here at the pod (some of these reasons are mentioned in the episode), so we knew going into this recording there was a good chance it wouldn't be out before Christmas. Sadly that proved to be the case, but we're glad the episode was finished in time for the end of 2022. And we're even more delighted to be reviewing another feature starri...

One year to the day since we started our Elm Street restrospective, we're concluding it with our review of the Platinum Dunes remake of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (2010)! We've been teasing our opinions of this movie ever since we reviewed the first one, so we were very excited to finally record this discussion.

November 29, 2022 • 207 mins
As we shatter our record for "Longest Episode on a Single Movie" (the previous record-holder being Oculus), is it any surprise that it was prompted by a new release from Rustic Films? Probably not, if you've heard our previous episodes, and probably even less surprising if you've seen the subject of our new episode: SOMETHING IN THE DIRT (2022). We were lucky enough to catch the latest from directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhe...
