Hack The Movies

Fall was a modest hit in 2022 but has since blown up on Netflix. So much so that it now has 2 sequels in development. Crystal joins me as we revisit this film to see why people love it.

There is a new Lanterns show coming out and another Green Lantern showed up in the latest Superman movie. It seems like the Green Lantern is coming back in a big way. In the '00s the Green Lantern comics were some of the best things DC was putting out. It only made sense they would give him is own movie. It is considered to be one of the worst and most mocked superhero films of all time. Frank joins me again to review this film which may or may not have gotten worse with time!

Did you know Wes Craven directed a wild DC Comics movie back in 1982? And did you know the same producers behind this swampy cult classic were also deeply involved in making Tim Burton's Batman '89 possible? If you didn't, you're gonna love my deep dive with Tim into Swamp Thing!

The first Peter Medak movie I reviewed before Species II was The Changeling. Here is the Movie Dumpster episode I did where we all talked about this classic ghost story.

The first Species movie was our 400th episode. I thought it was time to team up with Lauren again to talk about Species II. The movie brought back some of the characters, had even crazier effects, and tells the story from a man's point of view. It is even directed by Peter Medak who did the Changeling which is one of my favorite ghost movies. What could go wrong? Turns out mostly everything!

Here is an older throwback episode I did with Movie Dumpster. This time it is for Of Unknown Origin starring Peter Weller. This was the origin of the "Kind of a big rat" running gag I've had with Movie Dumpster. Enjoy!

The Bride! is the the latest Frankenstein adaptation to hit the big screen. It has huge stars, a big budget, and Maggie Gyllenhaal directing. It also flopped hard and got terrible reviews. How bad was it really? Cayley joins more for this live episode where we will try to figure out the answer to that question!

You demanded it! I did a poll asking if you all wanted me to redo the Leprechaun reviews I did on Rental Reviews but over here in my format and you all said yes in a landslide. So I got the great Mike Leavy to join me to cover this classic. Mike is the producer of Terrifier 2 and 3, Screamboat, and the director of Stream. He also did the short fan film Leprechaun Revenge.

Manny Muskets joins me in studio to talk about of this classic slasher from the 90s. The original Candyman. Based on a short story by Clive Barker it stars Virginia Madsen and the late Tony Todd in a role that made him a horror icon. Manny had never seen it before so I thought it was perfect for Black History Month.

Here is an episode of The Beautiful Dead Podcast I was on where we talked about Decadant Evil 1 & 2. These are unofficial spin-offs of the Subspecies franchise. They are absolutely terrible. Enjoy!

It is finally time to talk about my favorite Christopher Walken movie! Joey C stops by to help me revisit this "theological thriller" from 1995. The movie is about a rogue angel name Gabriel looking for a soul to help him create a new heaven. He has to fight other angels, humans, and the literal devil himself. It's awesome!

Tony and Sara return to talk about another Re-Animator movie. This time it's for Bride of Re-animator. A movie crazier and possibly better than the first.

Cillian Murphy returned to horror at the end of the latest 28 Years Later, Rachel McAdams teamed up with another horror director in a movie about a plane, and we are getting a 6th sequel to Wes Craven's Scream. It seems like now is a good time to revisit Wes Craven's Red Eye which is exactly what me a Prison Mike Did!

I decided I need more cat people in my life and revisited Stephen King's Sleepwalkers. Funny enough it's NOT based on a book he wrote. Its got crazy effects, wacky humor, and cameos from some of the biggest horror directors of all time! It seems to have faded into obscurity so it's up to Lena and I to bring it back by reviewing this hidden gem!

Cats is one of the most famous plays of all time and dominated Broadway in the 80s and 90s. It has timeless music by Andrew Lloyd Webber inspired by poems written by T.S. Eliot. They also made a movie in 2019 directed but Tom Hopper and featuring an all-star cast and it might be one of the most horrifying things ever released by a major studio. Royce and Mersh from  @RevengeOfTheCis  join me to cover this catastrophe.
