Dead Is Better: Recent Episodes
Dead Is Better
3 gentlemen review a wide selection of old and new horror movies in the Great White North of Minnesota. Come for the laughs, leave with the insanity.
M-O-O-N! That spells new episode! You ever wonder if Lutenant Dan, Patrick from SpongeBob and mime Rob Lowe could survive the 2020 pandemic? I know I have!And youre in luck because today we talk about the first half of The Stand. Only the first half because it's really frigging long (that's what she said)!
Another episode already? Yup. What did you do to deserve this? Oh, you know full well what you did. And we're not mad, just disappointed. As punishment you have to listen to us talk about today's movie The Dark and the Wicked. Maybe next time you'll think twice. SMH.
Attention passengers! We're back! Expect a bumpy road ahead as we talk about today's road trip from hell, The Passenger! It's a heartwarming tale of one poor sap's really REALLY bad day at work and the amateur traveling life coach who takes him under his wing to try to guide him to a better tomorrow. And murders. There's, like, some gruesome murders in there too. Fun!
Hey! We didn't get canceled! It's a miracle! Today's movie is about how it only takes one little prick to cause big problems. We talk about our pointiest creature feature yet, Splinter.
Well, here it is folks. The episode that will undoubtedly get us canceled. Or at least it would if more people actually listened to us. Languishing in obscurity for the win! Anyway, today we talk about The Blackening.
It's been a while (beenawhiiile), but we're back! Sorry, we were on house arrest. But in our defense, the sign specified shirt and shoes were required. It said nothing about pants! Anyhoo... coincidentally enough today's movie is about the horrors of house arrest. Housebound!
We're finally back! Ever wonder what it would be like if the dude from Psych wrote and directed a movie that was a combination of Waiting, The Strangers, and a bit of Texas Chainsaw 2? Yeah, me either. But thats what we got with today's movie, Gravy!
We're going a little trip today, peoples! A Hell Trip as a matter of fact. All the way to Africa for this one. Im not sure, but Africa may be owed an apology after this flick. Stay tuned after the show if you've ever been curious about what kind of auditory jackassery usually gets cut from the show for pacing or time, but this time I decided to throw some back in at the end for funsies.
We're back peoples! And we got another Argentinian treat for you from the same guys who brought you When Evil Lurks. Today we talk about Terrified, the movie that answers the question of "What would happen if you had 3 episodes of the X Files all happening in one neighborhood at the same time?" I can't be the only one who has wondered that, right?
Wow, we got ourselves a humdinger for you today, folks. Thanks to our favorite embalmer in the whole wide world, Shannon, today we're talking about the cinematic masterpiece that is Zombie Boobies... I mean STRIPPERS! Zombie Strippers! Not since Schindler's List has there been such a moving piece of cinema. And as a bonus, Tony goes off the rails for a bit with stories from his childhood that he should probably be telling to a therapist. But you, dear listeners, get to hear it instead! Hooray!
Happy Festivus, Merry Christmas and Merry Kissmyass! It's jingly bell times, and as a gift to all 5 of you loyal listeners, we watched the big kahuna of bad movies. We've been dancing around it for years, but for you, dear listeners, we suffered the glorious disasterpiece that is Troll 2! Listen to our sanity unravel as we talk about one of the best worst movies ever. Enjoy, and have a happy whatever you celebrate.
We got a doozy here all the way from Argentina. Today we find out what happens When Evil Lurks. And just wow. I honestly don't even know what to say here. We make our usual jokes and stuff because if we stopped joking, I think we'd die. Kinda like if a shark stops swimming. We're joke sharks. But seriously, no disrespect to this one. Spoiler: it's a banger. Listen in to find out why.
We're back and we got Cooties! No, not the kind you get from spring break in Tijuana. The movie about zombie grade schoolers written by a team up of the guy who wrote Saw and one of the writers from Glee. Yes really. It's our most kid killingest movie yet!
We're back peoples! Today's movie is what happens when an anthology movie and an improv class get a little too frisky and forget to use a rubber. Today we talk about the Shudder original, Sacre Me.
We're back and today we talk about a movie that is definitely a film we watched. Yup. It sure was. We watched the ridiculously titled Natty Knocks aka Bill Moseley needed a paycheck. In the movie "lore" Natty may knock only nine times but we certainly knock this movie way more than that.
We're back peoples! And so is uber hot goth demon Angela who just won't let the party die! Yup. We're doing Night of the Demons 2: 2 Demon 2 Furious. Does this movie party harder than Andrew W. K. on coke or is it lamer than my 14th birthday where no one showed up? Listen and find out!
Hey peoples! Tonight we're gonna party! When a super hot goth chick invites you to a party, you definitely go right? I mean, sure it's in an abandoned funeral home. And yeah, she sometimes sounds suspiciously like Dr Claw. And maybe there's an evil dragon skeleton ghost. But you heard me when I said hot goth chick right? Thought so. Anyway, today we review Night of the Demons. And as a bonus, superfan friend of the show and embalmer supreme Shannon stops by and tells us a story!
Hoo boy peoples. This one is a doozy. I know some of you may watch this movie because of this episode, and I sincerely apologize. What can I even say here about Llamageddon without the benefit of poop emojis and a dumpster fire gif? But we did have some fun tearing this movie apart, much like my will to live as I watched it so there's that. And we did develop the film theory of The Danzig Effect as a result. Listen in for the glorious details.
We're back peoples! Today we got another fan pick! I know right? We actually still have fans! Will wonders never cease. Anyways, our embalmer friend Shannon has picked the 2006 James Gunn 80s B movie homage Slither. This one's got zombies, rednecks, a rabid undead deer puppet, and more brain slugs than you can shake a Nathan Fillion at. What more could you ask for?
Hey! We're back again! And we have tales for you. No, not From the Crypt. Although that would be cool. Damn, now I wanna watch that. Anyway, today we got Tales of Halloween! This one's got everything. Slashers, aliens, neighbors from hell, and more horror cameos than you can shake a severed limb at. But is it any good? Listen and find out.
Well, it's been a while but we're back. Sorry for the sporadic activity, but personal life things are going on. We may not be posting as regularly as before for a bit but I assure you we aren't going anywhere. Anyhow, Dead Snow 2! Twice the dead and double the snow! If you see one Norwegian nazi zombie movie this year... well you should probably watch the original Dead Snow first... but then strongly consider watching the sequel. Join us as we dive in!
Well, here it is folks. Our 100th movie review. It's been a long strange trip to this point and we got a doozy for you today. Vampire cowboys, Devon Sawa, Eli Roth, Julian Sands, a brothel, and that hot goth chick from Blair Witch 2. Sounds like the ingredients for a great movie right? Well, now add cinematic disaster master Glenn Danzig to the mix. What do you get? You get the oh so pretentiously named Death Rider in the House of Vampires. Yeah. Buckle up for this one...
We're back and in the words of Staind "Its been a while". Today we talk about a movie where some people find some cursed gold and have to fend off the undead horde that is out to reclaim it. No, not the Johnny Depp pirate movie. This one has nazi zombies, not ghost pirates. And it's Norwegian. And it does gore and violence in a way Disney would never have the cajones to do. That's right. We're talking Dead Snow.
Hey peoples! Today we talk about that movie where an evil video game alters reality in horrible ways for the person playing it. No, not Brainsacan. Or Stay Alive. Or that crappy Hellraiser sequel. Or... wow, they've really run this trope into the ground haven't they? No, today's movie is Netflix's Choose or Die. Generic movie title, but the perfect thing to say to your wife when she won't tell you what she wants for dinner.
We're back peoples! Episodes may be sporadic as we head into summer and new work schedules, but rest assured, we will continue to semi regularly put out the content you all have come to know and tolerate indifferently. Anyway, today we talk about Barbarian (SPOILERS). Which, despite what you may believe, in NO WAY involves Conan the Barbarian. I know, I was shocked too. Also, Tony's cat may or may not need an exorcism. To quote today's movie, "Ba ba baba ba!"
Today a-haunting we will go! We're checking out the 2019 movie Haunt. This is why you never go into a haunted house attraction that makes you sign a waiver.
Today is a special occasion folks! We have a special guest in the studio! Andrew's nephew Chaz joins us today meaning that all 2 people who actually still listen to this show have made appearances as guests! And to celebrate we're taking a look at the giant middle finger to Disney that is Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey! Does this slasher satisfy the rumbly in our tumbly for gore and carnage? Listen and find out!
Hey peoples! It's time to tuck you in for the night, and Dead Is Better will sing you a lullaby. Well, maybe not so much sing you a lullaby. More like rip on a movie called Lullaby. But that's close enough, right? I thought so.
Hey kids! Have you ever wanted to see horrible things happen to that annoying youtuber that you can't stand? Well have we got a movie for you! Deadstream! What could be more fun than watching a web content creator get tormented by the supernatural, right? (Don't forget to like and subscribe to our podcast and enable notifications)
Well, today we're lost in a corn field being chased by killer scarecrows with the movie Husk. There is no appearance by He Who Walks Behind The Rows in this one. But, I can definitely say with all confidence that if Dorothy had met one of THESE scarecrows, The Wizard of Oz would have been a way cooler movie.
We're back! Today, we look at what happens when you get a bunch of psychics together at a hotel where their "friend" that they all hate killed himself. Oh, and despite the fact that they're psychic, they have no idea they're all going to be killed by puppets. Yup. We're taking a look at Puppet Master, a movie that completely dropped the ball on using one of Metallica's greatest songs as the theme song.
What do you do when your clearly mentally unstable ex-wife disappears for two years, only to come back with a new guy, some hippy dippy new beliefs, and invites you and your new girlfriend to a dinner party at your old home? Well, if you're Will from today's movie, The Invitation, you think there isn't anything even mildly suspicious about it, and it will make for a jolly good time. I, however, think that Will is clearly an idiot. Am I right? Listen and find out! Or I guess you could watch the movie and find out too. Fine. Be that way.
We're back, peoples! I know this episode is a bit late, but you know what they say: better late than pregnant. Anyways, today's special is a large Italian 80s splatter fest with extra cheese. We're talking about the 1985 Lamberto Bava film, Demons! It doesn't get much more 80s than this one!
Hey peoples! We had to go on a rona break but we're back! We got a doozy of a show for you today! We go all kinds of off the rails this time. There's much discussion, including how Netflix now sucks, horror drinking buddies, and the plethora of absurd Amityville movies that exist. Eventually, we get to today's movie Don't F*** In The Woods 2. Once again, solid advice right there.
Hey peoples! We got another package here for you! A Scare Package! That's right, today we're doing Scare Package II: Rad Chad's Revenge! That's right! They took Scare Package and added even more... umm... Package! Check it out!
Happy new year peoples! We have a package for you. A Scare Package! This is a horror anthology that has 7 times the story and 100% more Joe Bob Briggs than your average horror movie. So join us as we head on over to Rad Chad's Horror Emporium! By the way, can we borrow a couple bucks for our late fees?
Ho ho ho horror peoples! It's Christmas time, and we got a new episode to stuff right in your stocking! Today, we talk about the infamous Silent Night Deadly Night Part 2! It's actually 2 movies for the price of one! You know, since half this movie is scenes from the previous one. Anyway, join us as we review a movie that not only celebrates Christmas, but also excessive eyebrow movement and, of course, GARBAGE DAY!!!
We're back, peoples! Everyone was sick for a while, but now we're ready to turn those frowns upside down with the movie Smile! Definitely a movie that lives up to its name. Yup. There's smiles in that thar movie. There's other stuff, too, but based on the title, I'm pretty sure the focus is supposed to be smiles. It's the smileyest movie that ever smiled for sure.
Happy Thanksgiving peoples! Grab some turkey and gravy and we'll provide the Bruce Campbellberry sauce with today's movie, Black Friday! Yup, the yearly Thanksgiving shopping tradition that is basically already a horror movie is now actually a horror movie. Join us as we dig in! We even won't make you sit at the kids table!
Strap in peoples, we got a doozy for you today! Dead Is Better superfan, horror guru, and all around groovy human being Tim is back and he brought us John Carpenter's Body Bags! This one has something for everyone. Formaldehyde martinis, slashers, horror icons galore, gore, aliens, and even Mark Hamill's butt. Join us!
Today we answer some questions submitted by you, the listeners. All 5 of you. Also, we give our thoughts on the recent Hellraiser reboot. We have such sights to show you. You know, like the line from the movie. But, this is an audio podcast so... I guess it's more like we have such noises to show you. Mostly immature banter. Anyway, give it a listen won't you?
We're back today with Milfs vs Zombies (aka 4 Milfs vs Zombies if you're on Tubi). Boy howdy this one was a humdinger. Yup. Definitely a movie we watched with our eye holes. Really all you need to know about this one is right there in the title. So, yeah. Ummmm... New episode! Yay!
We're back! Today we have a movie that strives to answer one of life's greatest questions: is it easier to just go and build yourself a girlfriend? Answer: according to this movie, yes. Apparently Ikea women are a thing. Who knew? Anyhow, today we re-view Herbert West's re-turn in Bride Of Re-Animator!
We're back peoples! Today we join Jamie Foxx and Snoop Dogg slaying vampires on the Day Shift! This one's got it all folks! Violence, gore, jokes, kung fu, gun fu, fang fu, strangely hot contortionist vampire chicks, and Snoop as a vampire killing cowboy with a mini-gun! What more could you ask for?
Today we take a look at a movie where Martin Freeman goes on an epic journey across a far away land. No, not that one. We're talking about Cargo. This one has zombies instead of orcs. And a heart wrenching father/daughter story like a certain Korean zombie flick. But hey! At least we don't cry while talking about this one! Check it out!
Ah, the 2000s. A time of nü metal, movies looking like music videos, and adding "2000" to things to let you know they're super edgy. All those things have come together to give us today's movie, Dracula X-Treme Nitro 2000 presented by MTV and Surge! I mean... just Dracula 2000. Same difference. Yeah, it was a dark, stupid time for movies...
We're back today with a movie that has a very important message. Don't F*** In The Woods! Join us as we discuss this low budget horror that's full of boobs, boobs, more boobs, booty, boobs, booty, booty, boobs and... ummm... oh yeah, a monster that is the ultimate cock blocker.
Today we talk about possibly the most 90s movie ever. You know, the one where Edward Furlong plays a social misfit with an absent mother and ends up battling a technological monstrosity who is out to destroy his life. No, not T2. The other one. Brainscan. Boy, young Edward Furlong really didn't get along with technology did he?
We're back! And today we've got some cryptid combat! A mythical melee! A sasquatch slobberknocker! A beastial brawl! A... ummmm... monster... fight... or something. Today we talk Bigfoot vs wendigos in Dawn Of The Beast!
Hey peoples! Today we re-joice as Jade has re-turned as we re-view Re-Animator! Also we discuss music choices in the Upside Down, gripe about a particular trailer that has bummed us out, and Jade and Tony torture Andrew with references to one of the most horrible things in existence....shudder Creed
We're back! Well, some of us are back. Jade was out sick this episode (but we still at least called him up to bother him anyway). Today we talk about the Irish vampire flick Boys From County Hell! How do you deal with an Irish vampire you may ask? Well surprisingly the answer doesn't involve whiskey, potatoes, or even a shillelagh. Who knew? Anyhow, we also discuss personal slasher mask selection, truly idiotic video games, and Andrew finally finds an impression that sends Derrick over the edge.
Well, we're back peoples! Physically at least. Mentally we checked out long ago. We're all over the place with this one! We talk about our personal killing soundtracks, put questionable things on our browser histories, and have a bit of a disagreement over the movie Creep. SPOILER: Derrick is wrong.
We're back and today we're taking a look at another Italian film, Netflix's The Binding! Unfortunately I've already used up all my Italian jokes a couple episodes ago soooo.... ummm... yeah. Please listen? We're like funny and offensive and stuff.
It's episode 69 (giggity) and hoo boy do we got a humdinger today folks! We're continuing on our cinematic world tour, the most violent world tour since the 1940s. We're moving on to the COUNTRY of Taiwan (screw you John Cena) with today's movie, The Sadness! This one is pretty insane. It's like if a Slayer song and a Cannibal Corpse song had angry sex and the resulting offspring was a movie that was locked in a closet and raised on a steady diet of Red Bull, Cannibal Holocaust, and porn. Definitely not for the squeamish.
Stock up on pasta and garlic because today we got a film from the far off land of Italy! Today-a we talk-a about-a A Classic Horror Story! You no listen our podcast-a I break-a you face! Capiche? It's a spicy meat-a ball-a! Umm... other stereotypical Italian phrases! Forgetaboutit! Ok. I'm done. Just listen to the episode please.
We're back! We skipped a week again because Andrew was recovering from injuries sustained from a game of Guess Who that got out of hand, but all is well now. At least until the ensuing trial. Anyhowser... today we talk about the New Zealand grim fest, Coming Home In The Dark. This one was a doozy!
We're back peoples! There was a two week unplanned hiatus but thanks to weak extradition laws and a file baked into a birthday cake we managed to get free. Today we go over horror headlines, talk about overrated horror characters, and review the Irish horror comedy Extra Ordinary. We laughed. We cried. We vomited ectoplasm.
We all know air travel sucks. The security check, the bad food, the rude passengers, the vampires... it's just the worst! Today we talk about the Netflix original movie Blood Red Sky. In this movie there may be a vampire infestation and terrorists on the plane, but at least they aren't flying Spirit Airlines right?
Remember malls in the 80s? According to today's movie you could find literally everything there! Cigarettes in vending machines, boobs, highly explosive paint, more boobs, enough guns and ammo to impress Ted Nugent, and even malfunctioning killer robots! Yup, obviously we're talking about 1986's Chopping Mall this episode! Strap in because we go off the rails pretty quickly today. Adult beverages may have been involved...
Hey peoples! Sorry about the erratic publishing schedule as of late. A little annoying thing called "life" keeps happening and getting in the way. We will continue to put out new episodes as frequently as we can. With that bit of groveling out of the way, we're back with a look at Into The Dark's Good Boy! The movie that proves adopting a psychotic killer monster dog is still better than having kids. We also talk about movies that turned out better than our expectations and Derrick ruins Andrew's day by violating his soda. Fun times!
Hey peoples! It's the end of the world as we know it and we feel fine. Well... maybe not fine but at the very least indifferent. Today we look at the Norwegian post nuclear war (irony) thriller Cadaver. Or Kadaver as it's known in Norway where everything is spelled like the name of a death metal band. Also in this episode, Andrew must defend his horror trivia title against Tony, and we talk about movies that just didn't live up to thier own hype.
We got us a Texas sized doozy here today peoples! Put on your cowboy boots and your dead mama's face because we're reviewing The Texas Chainsaw Massacre! That's right, the much anticipated sequel to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre! (My head hurts trying to follow that logic...) Where do we line up on what seems to be this very divisive splatterfest? Even Tony's dog puts his two cents in! Listen and find out!
Strap on your bib, put on your stretchy pants, and load up on antacids, because today we're having a Feast! That's right! The Wes Craven/Matt Damon/Ben Affleck produced creature feature from the early 2000s dissected by us for your enjoyment! Also featuring our discussion on terrible movies that we love anyway as an appetizer. Bon appétit!
We got ourselves a doozy here folks! Not only do we talk about yet another Frank Henenlotter film, we have our first hostage... I mean GUEST of the podcast! That's right! Dead Is Better superfan Tim joins us this week to talk about Basket Case! Join us to find out "What's in the basket?" Spoiler: it's madness.
Today's episode is brought to you by the letters A, D, and D. And the number Alcohol. We kinda go off the rails on this one folks. We talk about Tony's obsession with non existent Stranger Things actor Wolf Finnhard, Andrew and Jade have a horror trivia rematch, and (eventually) we review the anthology movie Southbound. Join us as we try to figure out what the heck we just watched.
Happy new year peoples! We're back and we watched the oh so creatively titled The Stuff! We have so much stuff to say about The Stuff that we had trouble stuffing all the stuff into this overstuffed The Stuff episode! Also, Tony takes the reins as trivia master, Derrick reveals his obsession with green screen effects, and we pay tribute to the legendary Betty White (RIP).
Ho ho ho peoples! We're back for the holiday with a WHALE of an episode to stuff right in your stockings! That's right! Santa Jaws is coming to town! Listen as four CHUMS get together and DIVE into this HOHOHOrrifically ridiculous film. And... ummm... dammit I was going to fit more puns in... FINtastic... uhh... anyways. You get the picture. Also, Derrick sings Megadeth, Jade reminisces about an encounter with a religious fanatic, and we discuss how horrible it is that Kirk Cameron is a thing.
Hi everyone. This is a message letting you know that we will be on temporary hiatus. Tony's family got hit hard by covid and his wife and mother in law are in the hospital. Thoughts and prayers are appreciated and there is a gofundme for Tony's family if you would like to help. Details in the recording.
Remember that horrifying movie from the 90s about a genie? The one that gave an entire generation terrible nightmares? Yeah, me too. But enough about Kazaam starring Shaquille O'Neal. Today we're talking about the Wes Craven produced Wishmaster, which is only slightly less frightening than Shaq's acting.
Hey peoples! Today we tackle the directorial debut of special effects legend Stan Winston with 1988's Pumpkinhead! And speaking of vegetable anatomy themed creatures, we got Derrick joining us! That's right, Zucchinibrain is back for a full episode with his particular brand of nonsense! Hooray!
As the quote from Joker says, "We live in a society." Well, that sounds like it requires effort. So we decided it would be easier to just watch a movie CALLED Society. Close enough. Also, we had a shunting good conversation/trivia contest with a very special (in every sense of the word) guest from Dead Is Better's past. Who is it? Listen and find out!
Drugs are bad, m'kay? At least that's the very subtle theme to today's movie, Brain Damage! It's your classic story: boy meets girl. Boy ditches girl for talking phallic slug muppet. Slug muppet injects psychotropic fluid into boy's brain. Boy trips balls and people die. A tale as old as time really. Come join us!
Today you get a double dose of chin with a shot of moustache. That's right!! Maniac Cop! It's the clash of the chins! Bruce Campbell vs Robert Z'Dar! Who will come out on top? Find out! Also, Jade, very calmly, gives his opinions about the naming of subgenres.
What can be said about Glenn Danzig's directorial debut, Verotika? No, I'm actually asking. What can be said about it? What the hell did I just watch?! Was that a real movie? Was it a fever dream? Am I having a bad trip while watching a really awful high school play?! WHAT IN GOD'S NAME WAS IN THOSE BROWNIES?!?! goes fetal while gibbering uncontrollably
When vacationing in Norway, be sure to travel down the highway of death to the county of death, where you can find the township of death and drive to the forest of death where you'll stay in a lovely cabin of death on the shores of the Lake of Death. That's also the oh so creative title of today's movie. Join us as we review this Norwegian flick as well as discuss celebrity dongs and the finer points of getting banned from Chinese restaurants.
Wannabe rappers! OnlyFans! Naked pygmy serial killers! The reproductive implications of a female gremlin! We discuss these things and review the movie JeruZalem! Yes, that's how it's spelled because purposely misspelling things is so kewl! Listen in as we tackle this zombie/flying demon movie/google glasses tech demo.
Have you ever thought to yourself "that dude from Psych should totally make a horror movie with his friends inspired by international women's day and a treehouse needs to be tangentially involved"? No? Yeah not us either. But it happened anyway and today we're reviewing the results! Hulu and Into the Dark's Treehouse! The tree housiest movie we've reviewed to date! Come for the random tangents, stay for the review!
Ok, so this one is a bit late. Andrew was on vacation so, yeah. Anyways, we dive back in to Hulu's Into the Dark series with thier werewolf (I guess) flick, Blood Moon. We discuss this movie and the elements we feel make or break a werewolf flick. And boobies. Im pretty sure we talk about boobies too.
Almost a year ago, three middle aged guys got all teary eyed talking about a zombie movie. Yes, that happened. Those guys were us and that zombie movie was Train to Busan. Today we're taking a look at the sequel Train To Busan Presents: Peninsula. Does it hold up to the original? Will your hosts cry like little girls because emotions and stuff? And exactly how much better of a zombie heist movie is this than Army of the Dead? Find out!
What do you get when you cross Nicolas Cage, sepia tones, demon bikers, copious amounts of drugs, and macaroni and cheese vomit? Probably Tuesday night at Nicholas Cage's house. You also get today's movie, Mandy! So grab your bottle of bathroom vodka and your tighty whiteys and let's go back to the 80s!
Today's episode is brought to you by the letters A, D, and D. Because we are all over the place on this one, even going back into our childhood memories of near death. And speaking of death, among our ramblings we manage to talk about Deathgasm! Possibly the most metal of all metal themed horror movies! Metal! Chainsaws! Sex toys! What's not to love?
Zack Snyder has returned to the zombie genre after nearly 2 decades and 873 hours of superhero film! Is his return a success or does it suffer horribly under its own weight? And will we get an even longer cut of this 2 and a half hour movie? Who knows! We braved the epic run time and technical difficulties with recording to talk to you, the listener, about Army of the Dead.
Hey peoples! We're back and we've got a new movie to talk about! Today we discuss The Void! No, it's not a documentary about the space between Cardi B's ears (although anything involving her is definitely horrifying). It's a light hearted romp with murderous sex cults, Lovecraftian horrors, and so very many tentacles. Is it as good as I just made it sound? Listen and find out!
Hey fellow young people with your insta toks and twitterbooks! Today we talk about Host, which is a movie about a haunted zoom call. Yes really. Which is fitting since our recording session was also haunted. By the ghost of Technical Difficulties!! So, we apologize for the sound issues but just know that every time the microphones cut out, we were definitely saying some of the funniest things you could imagine.
Hey kids! You know how there's SO many horror movies based on April fools day right? Well, this is definitely one of them. I'm Just &%$#ing With You. Yes, that's really the name of the movie. Join us as we talk about a movie who's title will definitely prevent this episode from being recommended by algorithms. Also, we discuss the finer points of internet trolling and how Kirk Cameron needs to just go away forever.
How Troma can a movie be without actually being a Troma movie? Well today's movie sits comfortably with the likes of Class of Nuke Em High and Terror Firmer at the wierd kids table. Today we take a look at Dude Bro Party Massacre III. Also we discuss supernatural pets and the pros of Marshmello Man poop.
Can you believe its been 37 ****ing episodes? We can't either! We're back and Tony is still here! Yay! Also, we get to see some Nic Cage at his Nic Cagiest in Mom and Dad! Yay! This movie is bonkers on a level that only Nic Cage teamed with the dude who brought you the Crank movies can offer! For added fun, take a drink every time Jade and Tony horrify Andrew with a Limp Bizkit reference! Derrick may still be lost hunting leprechauns in the forest, but his legacy lives on...
We could've done an Easter episode but we figured, screw it! Let's get all the holidays out of the way in one shot so we have more time for Nicholas Cage movies! What could go wrong? Thats right, we're doing the horror anthology Holidays. Also, this is a super collector's edituon episode featuring the first on air appearance of F*ck Tony! He is the superfan the rest of you should aspire to be and you should all be ashamed for not trying harder.
Top o th' mornin' to ye peoples! Grab yer shillelagh and pour a pint of Guinness on yer Lucky Charms because today we're searching for the illusive Leprechaun in... North Dakota? Yup. You read that right. And thats one of the less ridiculous things about this movie. So strap in, you're in for a ride! Also we talk about our funeral wishes for when we die so... lighthearted fun! Note: at some point Jade and Andrew's audio got out of sync with eachother so it sounds like we were talking over eachother when we weren't and we couldn't fix it post recording. Sorry about the quality, we're still figuring out this new recording process. Also the two things Andrew was talking about at the beginning were tenebrificacrylics and Horrorscope magazine for those that couldn't understand the audio.
We're back! Well, two of us anyway. Join us as we soldier on and review 2001's From Hell. Can Captain Jack Sparrow and shaved Hagrid catch Jack the Ripper? Can Andrew figure out how to do technology well enough to edit and publish this podcast? Find out this episode!
