Sheebie Jeebies: Recent Episodes
EBD Sam Carlson
Hello out there, horror hounds! Welcome to Sheebie Jeebies. This is a horror podcast by fans, for fans, and about fans. Each week, we'll talk to someone about a movie they love, hate, or love to hate. So gather 'round weirdos and let's tell some stories.
Another old review that was lost in the vault! When I listened back to it, I forgot that I kind of liked this movie. And if you've ever listened to the show, I hate at least 63% of new horror. It's basically an Alien movie...underwater. It's a slow ass burn, but you get a decent pay off in the end. I did just buy this so I can go back to re-evaluate. There's so much Alice in Wonderland symbolism that even I, a diehard Jungian, couldn't figure it out.
We've got YouTube sign! We didn't put this review up when The Grudge (2020) came out because the volume was a bit off. Think I smoothed that out, so it's only fitting we end this shit year with a shit review. www.youtube.com/channel/UCfzt3U67-3EnWUM2hEWVwMANo vidya on the channel yet, but that's to come in 2021. If you like the show, please subscribe and check out some of our previous episodes on your podcatching app of choice. Special thanks to Producer Jay for all the hard work he does and my husband, Tall Chris, for putting up with all the bad movies I make him watch.

This is a very short review in terms of the time the IT universe deserves. Did I mention this movie is nearly THREE HOURS LONG? Oh yeah, this is getting a deep dive discussion. Directed by Andy Muschietti (IT: Chapter One, Mama), the adult Losers Club returns to Derry 27 years later when the murders start up again. We all go on side quests for jumpscares--err, tokens to complete the Ritual of C.H.U.D. Pennywise turns into a giant spider and fucks shit up, so the Losers Club literally bullies him to death. It's like WWE creative had to help out when Gary Dauberman couldn't think of an ending. This movie's dumb, but fun. 5 out of 7 Losers.
Because y'all know my posting has the consistency of a meth head, I'm dumping a bunch of old movie reviews this weekend! First up is Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark, directed by André Øvredal (Trollhunter, The Autopsy of Jane Doe).
Four kids find a cursed book of short stories that starts coming to life. Kind of like a family-friendly version of Wes Craven's New Nightmare, but we also have to solve a convoluted ghost story. Even though this movie is sorely lacking The Green Ribbon, it's a fun watch. The effects are decently stomach-turning for PG-13 and Scary Stories profits from the nostalgia bump. 2.75 out of 5 toes.
New guest alert! Elva, mother of Nori Ann from Twilight Zone: The Movie, schools me on classic cinema. And Carl Denham is most definitely trafficking women.
This episode is worth listening to just to hear me lose my shit over Tall Chris say "non-consentacles." Billy gets possessed by the Mindflayer, Eleven dumps your ass, and Nancy continues to be self-absorbed (shock).
Hey guys, we're doing something different this time around. Tall Chris and I are covering all of Stranger Things Season 3. I love this show, but holy shit I didn't remember anything from the last season! Luckily, Netflix knows their viewership and we're treated to a catch up episode with a big helping of character soup. Join us as we make fun of Chapter 1--Suzie, Do You Copy?
Matt Ortiz from our Krampus episode returns to talk about TERRIFIER and it was a blast! After a Halloween night of bar hopping, Tara (Jenna Kanell) and Dawn (Catherine Corcoran) run afoul of homicidal Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton). What follows is one of the most gruesome cat-and-mouse games with kills I've literally never seen in my 30+ years of watching horror movies.
Holy hell, this is our longest episode yet! One of my favorite people, Scott Mogey, joins us for the first time to talk all things Hannibal Lecter. He brings us a great Anthony Hopkins story and we have an excellent segue into the meanings of justice and what is right. It straight up turns into The Republic! Grab your chianti and your fava beans, it's podcast time!
New guest alert! Nori Ann joins me to talk Twilight Zone: The Movie from 1983. It's our first anthology pick with four segments, three of which are re-tellings of classic episodes. Even better, we get to see the directorial stylings of some of the most influential filmmakers of the time for each story.
It's our first J-horror episode! Veronica Li joins me to talk about the 100% fresh 2LDK from 2003. Lana and Nozomi are two actresses with opposite personalities vying for the same role and they'll do nothing to stop in their climb to the top. Find out what happens when people stop being Japanese and start getting homicidal!
Hey guys, we're doing a little something different this week! Returning guest Great Scott is known for not being much of a horror fan and we take a deep dive into why.
Stephen Murrell from our Event Horizon episode returns to talk about Jordan Peele's Us! Is it the greatest horror movie of all time? Well no, but it was good enough considering they stuffed a bunch of different subgenres into one movie.
Oh. Wow. This movie is both terrible and fantastic. Matt Laubach joins me to talk about the worst/best use of a mockumentary screenplay, Leprechaun 4: In Space! Real talk, I own this movie and now I love it.
GUYS! Tall Chris is back to help me rip apart Birdbox under the influence of much alcohol. This movie is bad and you're a bad person if you like it. Come at me, losers.
There's nothing worse than spending Christmas with your relatives--unless there's a mysterious black substance trapping you inside while the TV broadcasts very strange emergency messages. Austin Rogers joins me to talk about 2018's Await Further Instructions and how totally batshit it goes off the rails. Solid recommend from us.
Did someone ask for a thick and juicy double episode on "My Bloody Valentine" to wrap up #LoveHurts month? Too bad, you're getting one anyway! Austin Rogers returns to discuss the 1981 and 2009 versions, and I talk about walking the fine line of period farts and period sharts.
I sit down with famous "lost guest" Sergio Guerra to talk about 1992's Candyman! I can't say it's my drunkest episode yet because I keep setting the bar higher. We touch on the politics of urban legends and how it applies to today and how many "Fuckin' White People" moments there are in this thing.
What is this, a crossover episode? Actually yes! Vegan Chris from The Other Side of Living (another of the fine shows of Eternally Bored Productions) comes on to talk about the best worst movie ever made--TROLL 2. Surely, this will be a podcast that will live in infamy.
Let's do the time warp again! Wait, wrong movie. We've got a review of Happy Death Day 2U up this week with native Louisianan Tall Chris.
Kicking off our #LoveHurts month for February is 2013's The Conjuring! Joining me on this trip down memory lane is my old high school buddy, Mark Adams, who introduced me to the Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter books. And I'll never forgive him.
Get excited, we're doing one of the classics! Jesus Hernandez, super horror historian, joins us to talk about 1973's "The Exorcist" and also educates me on the story behind the Amityville Horror.
We're baaaaaaack! I've been fighting a cold and finishing moving, so here's something to tide you over until we start recording regularly again. Tall Chris joins me to review last year's The Nun, which isn't as bad as the Annabelle movies but not really great either.
As we bid adieu to December to Dismember, we end on the first holiday horror film--BLACK CHRISTMAS! Starring Olivia Hussey, Margot Kidder, and John Saxon, a maniac in the attic of a sorority house stalks the sisters one by one. Joining me on this foray into fright is actor Jacob Sides, who was less than thrilled with it.
As December to Dismember rolls on, we'd be remiss if we didn't talk about the hot garbage fire that is "Jack Frost." No, not the schmaltzy family movie where Michael Keaton turns into a snowman. The one where a serial killer melts in a pile of radioactive goo and becomes an evil snowman with bad jokes. Veronica Li from our first episode on "Ginger Snaps" returns, and we pontificate the nature of snowman cum. Don't say I didn't warn you.
December to Dismember continues with 1984's "Gremlins," directed by Joe Dante! Tall Chris joins us to talk Gramlin biology and what kind of Mogwai he'd be. Also, Billy's mom is a bad bitch.
This week, we're kicking off December to Dismember--a month of horror films with a Christmas twist! There's no better way to start than with 2015's "Krampus" starring Toni Collette and Adam Scott. Our co-host this week is Nightmare On Film Street's Matthew Ortiz, who's the first real fan of the podcast to be on (other than my current friends I strong arm into it). Merry Krampusnacht!
It's been a minute, huh? Today, we are BACK with a new episode for "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" from 1974. Our guest this week is George Ortiz, organizer of San Antonio's Horrific Film Festival! Besides Tobe Hooper's excellent use of implied violence, we also cover the use of disabilities in horror and I get to namedrop WWE's number announcer, Funaki!
A movie starring Michael Caine and directed by Oliver Stone about a killer hand? How could it miss? Unfortunately, the metaphors are a bit too nuanced for your average horror audience as itt relies heavily on symbolism (and I say this in all affection as a lover of Carl Jung) until the last ten minutes of the movie. Luckily, we have a very qualified guest to talk about it--local painter John DeLeon who found life really does imitate art sometimes.
Friend of the show, Tall Chris, is back to take a bite out of "The Meg"! And yes, I completely fucked up and mistook Li Bingbing for Fan Bingbing halfway through. No need for internet crucifixion. It's a fun enough summer movie, though it departs radically from the book (some of which is for the best). Also, is Steve Alten another member of the Hollywood Incels Club? We'll talk about it!
Joining us once again on the show is our taller-than-Slender-Man guest host, Chris Johnson! This is indeed a review of the 2018 movie starring "The Conjuring's" Joey King, who is absolutely wasted here. We watched it, so you don't have to. I'd warn that there are spoilers ahead, but I still don't know what the movie's about.
Come aboard the Nostromo as James Juarez and I wax poetically about the beautifully shot "Alien" from 1979! The whole movie is a work of art, with influences from Giger that extend even to the construction of the ship. Also, never take an orange cat into space. It's grey cats all the way, bebeh. this is definitely the most hungover show we've done. Luckily, I have a great producer to edit out most of the garbage.
Celebrating its recent 30th anniversary is the cult classic from the Chiodo brothers--"Killer Klowns From Outer Space"! My guest this week is my friend, Nick Chavez, and we get into ICP being the gateway drug to this movie. Is there a venn diagram for this or what? And who drank all the Faygo?
How can you possibly go through summer without watching Steven Spielberg's "Jaws" from 1975? It would be sacrilege! Join me and Austin Rogers (previous guest for "Carnosaur") as we mark out for the best big stupid fish movie out there and discuss the differences between it and Peter Benchley's novel.
Is evil genetic? Sit in on my conversation with previous guest host, Christopher Johnson, as we dissect "Hereditary"! It was touted as the scariest movie of the year, but what makes it so terrifying isn't the creepy cult or even the shocking early decapitation. It's the layers of buried family trauma that are all too relatable.
Not the first mockbuster, but definitely one of my favorites--it's 1993's "Carnosaur" with guest Austin Rogers! Diane Ladd plays a mad geneticist who creates a deadly infection via chicken products. The male host acts as a carrier, but the female incubates it...into a dinosaur. What could possibly go wrong?
On this week's show, we sit down with professional wrestler The Great Scott for a discussion about John Carpenter's "The Thing" from 1982! Does the whiskey theory hold up? Is the Thing the alien that crash lands, or is the alien infected itself? What happened to Wilford Brimley? This and more coming up!
In our inaugural episode, V and I discuss one of the better werewolf movies out there. This episode was supposed to be recorded on April 8th, but someone decided she had to give birth three days before (listen close and you can hear baby Zoe crying in the background). We hit on the tripartite theme of food, sex, and death, as well as Furry ex-boyfriends and the best way to get period blood out of clothes. Enjoy!
After getting past the initial sucking of Bruce Campbell’s dick by Stephen (#brucecampbellisoverrated), we get into one of our very favorite sci-fi horror movies. Is it literally Hellraiser in space, or is the movie’s concept of Hell more nuanced than audiences give it credit for? Plus, more movie recommendations than you can shake a naked Sam Neill at!
This week, we cover the first entry in the uber prolific Saw franchise and James Wan’s kinky puppet fetish. What’s Jigsaw doing with all those puzzle pieces he cuts out of his victims? Is his kill record really that good? Why does he hate insurance fraud so much? These questions and more go completely fucking unanswered as we lose track of the plot in the muddled non-linear storytelling.
Hello out there, horror hounds! Welcome to Sheebie Jeebies. This is a horror podcast by fans, for fans, and about fans. Each week, we'll talk to someone about a movie they love, hate, or love to hate. So gather 'round weirdos and let's tell some stories.
Our biggest guest yet! At 6'11", he towers over the tallest Jason, Ken Kirzinger. Chris comes on to talk Jason Lives, the sixth installment in the Friday the 13th series and which scenes he couldn't get out of his head watching it as a kid.
