After the highs of the Nic Cage Jeopardy episode...Mark, Kitty, Pete and Bryan simply couldn't stop talking about various elements of modern pop culture. Star Wars, Star Trek, Avatar, Stranger Things, Lord of the Rings...nothing is spared their inane chatter. In an effort to keep the Nicolas Cage birthday celebration down to a reasonable length...all that nonsense is collected here...in this bonus episode. What a bonus.
It's that time of year again...a very special birthday boy is turning 62. To celebrate Nic Cage's birthday the Scare Value Boys bring Kitty and Mark back to the show for a full game of Nic Cage Jeopardy. Will Pete's Nic Cage knowledge drive him to victory? Will Kitty having to listen to him talk about Nic Cage all the time lead her to an upset? Will Mark's pop culture knowledge include enough Cage to win the day? One of these ...
Celebrate New Year's Eve with the least definitive top ten list around...the Scare Value Top Ten Horror Movies of 2025. Pet's seen four of them...but it isn't (totally) his fault this time. We've got some wild indies, fun theatrical releases and a couple of standout movie that feel like both.

Mark returns to the podcast to talk about the 2015 movie The Final Girls. At least for as long as they can manage before Pete and Bryan pull the discussion off the rails again. How will Pete deal with the emotional complexity of the story? Did they really make a movie where Kate Winslet falls in love with Jack Black? Is Ellis from Die Hard the true hero of that movie? All this and more in this week's Scare Value Podcast.
The Scare Value Boys celebrate Godzilla week with a look back at one of the best kaiju battle movies ever made...Godzilla vs. Destoroyah from 1995. It's the end of an era for the King of the Monsters...and a first-time watch for Pete. Will he agree with Bryan's assessment that this is top tier Godzilla? Or is Bryan just blinded by this movie's love for his favorite character Dr. Daisuke Serizawa? Join Godzilla, Junior, Destoroy...
Pete and Kitty detail their recent trip through Universal Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights. Just in time for the event to be over and leave you unable to attend.

The Scare Value Boys try something new! This week Pete and Bryan sit down to talk about all things Halloween. The movie franchise...not the holiday. They endeavor to find a definitive ranking of the long running series. 13 movies...some of the great...some of them fine...some of them so bad they're good...some of them directed by Rob Zombie...one of them starring Busta Rhymes. How will the ranking shake out? Click play to fin...
The Scare Value Boys return to Indonesia (really not really this time) to watch the sequel to Satan's Slaves. It's a first time watch for one of them...you can probably guess which one. He also can't remember anything about it despite watching it very recently. Now you definitely know which one. What will they think of Joko Anwar's continuing Satan's Slave story? Come for the answer...stay for the roleplay segment between pedo...
It's that time of year again...time to try and convince Pete that The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a masterpiece. This year we watch it side by side with Pete's preferred entry in the series...The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. It's a dual screen watch-along! Will this finally convince Pete that Tobe Hooper's original is great? Or will he get swept up in the comedic moments of Hooper's 12 years later sequel...forcing them to try som...
The Scare Value Boys are back with something special...a look at the 1990 masterpiece Frankenhooker. As usual...it's a first-time watch for one of them. Will he love this beautiful piece of B-movie madness as much as his co-host? There are exploding prostitutes. Of course he will. Will they wander off track to discuss Stone Temple Pilots concerts and the 1996 Keanu Reeves movie Chain Reaction? Of course they will.
We're back with our annual Spooky Season Spectacular! Kitty joins Pete and Bryan to look at all the big horror releases coming out between now and Halloween.

With this year's Spooky Season Spectacular postponed for a week the Scare Value boys discuss two 80s horror comedies. Pete picked this week's movies...and Bryan is left dumfounded after watching his picks. If you remember watching House and House II: The Second Story as a kid...what better way to revisit them then by listening to two middle aged men argue about what in the world was happening in front of and behind their cameras.
...The Scare Value Podcast returns to the Bates Motel to check in on our old friend Norman. That's right...we're doing Psycho II this week. The sequel no one wanted that holds up far better than it has any right to. Instead of taking the easy road and producing a cheap slasher to fit the movies of the time...Psycho II delivers a deep character study...posing the question "Will society ever let someone like Norman Bates be sane?" S...
