The Descent (2005) Review
#8
03/10/2024

Monster Movie March Madness is hereeeeee! And we’re starting off with an absolute banger from 2005, The Descent. A powerful movie about womanhood (Happy  International Women’s day) and friendship and loyalty and… there was something else I swear… Oh yeah! Cave creatures!! Even without the creepy crawlers, this would be a tense and terrifying movie that leaves you holding your breath. But this is a month to celebrate awesome monsters and we can’t overstate how iconic they are. 

Did anyone see the sequel? Did you hate it? Love it? Didn’t seem like it needed a sequel. Espe...


Triangle (2009) Review Bonus Episode
03/10/2024

What the fuck… is this movie?

Okay y’all, full disclosure, this was not supposed to be a bonus episode but we had no idea how to talk about this time-fucky movie so it only ended up being a half hour. Whoops. Casey’s bad! We (Casey at least) had a lot of fun watching Triangle from 2009 and we definitely suggest watching the movie before listening to this episode. We barely make sense even if you know what’s happening in this movie. A movie like this just doesn’t have the best structure for a recap/review dis...


Hostel (2005) Review
#7
02/25/2024

Coming at you with a horror staple this week, the OG gore p*rn, Eli Roth’s breakout movie: Hostel. The effects in this movie hold up beautifully of course. The dialogue? Not so much… I’m not sure if we’re supposed to like the protagonists but I guess it makes it more fun to watch the torture scenes? At least Olie is fun to watch. Also, do you know how hard it is to splice in clips of a movie that's 90% boobs and gore? (youtube’s 2 most hated things).  Are there any parts of this movie or the sequel...


It Follows (2014) Review
#6
02/15/2024

Welcome back listeners! We got really deep this week talking about It Follows from 2014! This eerie movie with an amazing  synth-y score is an atmospheric nightmare with awesome acting and a weird premise. If you watched it before this episode, how would you deal with the monster, would you just pass it on to someone else? How would you try to “beat” it? And who else is excited (and a little scared?) for the sequel??

Stay spooky!

Saw X (2023) Review
#5
02/11/2024

We’d like to play a game… called “why are we the way that we are?” (Spoiler: No one wins) Saw X (2023) was such a fun time to watch and talk about. Are we nerds for liking this stupid franchise so much? Yes. Does Casey still get pumped every time Costas Mandylor comes on screen (or is mentioned)? Also yes. Do Tobin Bell and Shawnee Smith both look incredible? ABSOLUTELY. Lets all thank the creators for not using deaging CGI. And for that stinger scene of course. 

What are your all time favorite saw traps?? Any news favs from...


Deadstream (2022) Review
#4
11/30/2023

Found footage fall is still rolling and this movie is amazing! Yes, winter is coming. We don’t care. We’re holding on to fall as long as we can.

Would you stay in a haunted house for money like Shawn? Did you find him annoying? And did the FREAKING BELIAL ASS MFER FREAK YOU OUT? Because it kinda freaked me out. Go watch Deadstream on Shudder. It's so worth it.

Dashcam (2022) Review

11/16/2023

Found Footage Fall is hereeeee! Yes it should have been here last week but we tried to record an episode over Zoom while I was on vacation (I do that a lot) and it's just… gone. I’m not sure what happened but I’m not the best with technology. We'll either re-record or maybe release the little bits we have one day. IDK yet. But this is honestly such a good start because Jes is finally about to GET HIGH and talk about horror movies! (and you can tell…) Hey guys, so what is this movie about? (We don’t kn...


The Visit (2017)
#2
11/16/2023

We’re baaaack! Sorry we’ve been gone for so long, but we are so happy to be back! It was a crazy few weeks for both of us but we should be going back to about an episode a week. This week, of course, we’re over the river and through the woods but like, nana and pop pop are acting weird.

This is probably my favorite Shyamalan movie but even if it's not, this is such a fun time. The acting is amazing, the shots are so unique, and that TWIST! Blew our minds the first...

The Midnight Meat Train (2008) Review
#1
09/24/2023

Okay be honest, how many of you had actually heard of this movie before you saw the title of this video? No seriously, where did this come from and who should I thank for its existence? With our wonderful guest Katy, we try so hard to understand and come to terms with how we start this movie following photographer Bardley Cooper to… well the end of this. Watch the movie first if you haven’t already, it's worth it I promise. Ps. Someone check to see if Clive Barker is okay because this story is… interesting. Thanks again to Katy!https...
