Horror Movie Weekly

Anyway, as we were saying six months ago, we're back again and we have revised our Feature Review selection parameters of our pool of Horror movies to this special span: 2005 to 2015. The time span in Horror is important to your intrepid hosts because it overlaps with the era of films discussed in their formative years of Horror podcasting. Therefore, here in Episode 180 of Horror Movie Weekly, Jay of the Dead and Mister Watson bri...

OK! Put your hands together, everybody. Let's have fun! It's time for Episode 175 of Horror Movie Weekly, One Badass Horror Podcast! This week, it was Mister Watson's turn to choose, and he did not let us down, as usual.

The film at hand is Freaks (201...

This is Episode 169, where we review Mister Watson's pick for this week, Brightwood (2023) — not "Brightburn," the evil Superman boy movie. No, this week we're looking at another shape of Horror, the infinite circle. A loop. The redundant lap. Lap dance. $5 per patron. Anyway...

"Butcher Baker Nightmare Maker." That's a terrible title. But is "Exposition" a derogatory term? That is the question. Along with: Where the HELL has this podcast been for the past four months?

During Episode 168 of Horror Movie Weekly, Jay of the Dead and Mister Watson bring you an extended episode that includes a F...
