Let’s wave a quick and much-needed goodbye to Proto-Slasher month by ranking the four films we watched and playing a quick round of Six Degrees of Brooke Shields!
For the final week of proto-slasher month, we head back to 1979 for a little vacation in TOURIST TRAP! Join us as we review the film, discuss what makes the perfect Thanksgiving movie, and discuss the mystical de-sexifying power of the bucket hat.
We’re three-quarters through proto-slasher month and things are finally getting interesting with 1976’s ALICE, SWEET ALICE! Join us as we review the film, figure out why Brooke Shields is famous, and plead for listener Tristian to actually explain what the hell is going on.
For the second week of Proto-Slasher month, we fail to redeem ourselves very much with 1976’s THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN! Join us as we review the film, fail at more American history, and learn the legend of Sparkplug!
For the first week of Proto-Slashers month, we explore the much ballyhooed WHEN A STRANGER CALLS, from 1979. Babysitters, beware! Join us as we review the film, discuss ringtones and remakes, and realize that the part everybody remembers is only the first twenty minutes.
It’s time for month 3, y’all! This time, we’re headed back in time to witness the formation of one of Brennan’s favorite genres by exploring the proto-slashers of the 70’s! Thanks to listener Tristian for the idea! Also, again, sorry for the audio malfunction. This is the last of the episodes recorded on that infamous night.
Happy Halloween, everybody! For this special holiday episode, we explore a secret bonus First Film, Rick Rosenthal’s directorial debut, 1981’s HALLOWEEN II. This is the second year, so it’s time for the second installment of John Carpenter’s slasher opus! Join us as we review the film with special guest Patrick Hamilton of the Kill by Kill podcast! It’s a fascinating discussion that touches upon classic slashers of yore, Halloween urban legends, and a discussion of how we would most like Michael Myers to kill us!
It’s time to say farewell to First Films Month, but first let’s recap what we’ve learned over the past 30 days! Also, we get to hear about YOUR favorite scary movies and have a super special secret chat with the good folks from Reply All. Also, apologies for the audio quality once again. This was recorded on the same night as the previous episode, when our equipment went on strike.
In this very special episode of First Films month, we explore five short films that either were expanded into horror features or earned their directors enough creed to get their own movie: “Panic Attack” Fede Alvarez “Mamá” Andrés Muschietti “Lights Out” David F. Sandberg “Saw” James Wan “The Monster” Jennifer Kent Apologies for the audio being swimmy this episode (and in the outro to follow). We had technical difficulties. Thanks for bearing with us for this super fun episode!
This week we take to the movie theater aisles once more for OUIJA: ORIGIN OF EVIL! Join us as we review the film and find out if our planchettes point to “YES” or “NO” for Mike Flanagan’s latest outing. But don’t touch it in the living room.
This week, our First Film comes from the back catalogues of superstar director/box office devourer James Cameron circa 1981: PIRANHA II: THE SPAWNING. Join us as we review the film, assess its place in Cameron’s filmography (spoiler alert: it’s low), and learn more misinformation about American history! Apologies for the sound quality on the dialogue clips. Finding a good quality copy of this movie is like trying to find the most perfectly shaped turd. Some might be better, but they’re all still turds.
Our second first film of the month belongs to James Gunn, auteur of the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. In this episode we explore his 2006 directorial debut SLITHER! Join us as we review the film, learn about worms, hear Brennan’s rant about method acting, and teach Sergio about movies he’s already seen but apparently forgot every detail of!
For this super special bonus episode, we discuss the 2016 remake of GHOSTBUSTERS, which is now available on Blu-Ray and DVD. Join us as we discuss the movie’s undeserved controversy, try to imagine a better future for ourselves, learn about the secret life of Charles Lindbergh, and - oh yeah - review the movie.
It’s the first week of First Films month and we’re starting with the big guns. Did you know filmmaking giant Steven Spielberg cut his teeth on a TV movie thriller in 1971? That’s right, in this episode we’re hitting the road and watching DUEL. Join us as we review the film, discuss our vague memories of American history, and talk roadside safety and/or proper sandwich ordering.
Who’s ready to be smashed in the face with a heavy cudgel of political satire? Our election is enough of a joke as it stands, but first we have THE PURGE: ELECTION YEAR! Join Sergio and Brennan as they review the film in honor of its Blu-Ray/DVD release, discuss its place among the franchise as a whole, and take on the Sisyphean task of attempting to decide which line of dialogue is most racist.
It’s our second month of season 2, but it’s also October so we’re going with a special theme this month: First Films. That’s right, we’ll be exploring famous directors whose first time behind the camera was at the helm of a horror movie. Things are gonna get wet and wild. Join Sergio and Brennan as they discuss surprising skeletons in directors’ closets, Halloween costumes, and what they’re looking forward to this month!
So, it’s the end of the first month of Scream 101 season 2. Fall has sprung, the leaves are turning brown in other parts of the world that aren’t Southern California, and Count Dracula is thanking his unlucky stars for the shorter, less sunny days. In this episode, we review our month of vampire film-watchin’, find out what we learned, and play a little game to test our bloodsucking knowledge. Be sure to join us next month for a special October extravaganza!
