Adventures in Movies!

Unsurprisingly, Mike Flanagan’s Carrie has been doing fantastic since its release. And as such, it has been renewed for a second season. We have more news regarding Flanagan. And it has nothing to do with his Exorcist movie or his upcoming adaptation of The Mist. It is his plans for a huge undertaking of fan favorite.

Nudity was synonymous with horror in the 1980s. So much so that it led to the movies being referred to has having nothing more than bloods, boobs, and beasts. Roughly 99% was unnecessary. If there is any franchise that should always fe...

There was a time when we could not wait to see the first 28 Years Later movie. Both of us were disappointed. One of us did see the DLC for it, but these movies have lost any goodwill created by the originals. We talk about the latest news regarding the next part and whether it is enough to bring us back.

It has been an unspoken truth for decades that awards shows want nothing to do with horror. In recent years, the amount of quality horror has made it impossible to be ignored, but it is clear that...

Another month, another Stephen King adaptation. But this is a good one. Easily one of the best of this century. But Mike Flanagan is not stopping with just one season of Carrie. We talk about what he has planned and whether that is a good thing.

Scream has been though a lot of the decades. It destroyed slashers while also breathing new life into them. Ghostface became an icon. And the series became on of the most dependable ever seen in horror. Even after taking a few years break, it came back just as strong as before...

Unless you were alive during the time, it is hard to explain how big of a cultural impact the original Gremlins movie made. There was no way the sequel could live up to the first one and the franchise has gone surprisingly dormant ever since. We do have the latest news on the third installment.

We were not fans of the most recent Hell House LLC movie. Which is a shame since the first movie is so good. For its ten year anniversary, the original will be screening in theaters for the first time. If you have...

No matter how it turned out, Zach Cregger's Resident Evil was going to be interesting. There was so much discussion around source material and original ideas that even Cregger felt he had to go out and talk about it. Now, that the it has turned out to be another success, we talk about the future for the director.

It is nice to see that AMC had more in store for the Crypt Keeper than putting it on Shudder then forgetting about it. While it certainly is surprising to see what is up next, we are looking forward...

We do not talk too much television on our humble little podcast. But there is one show that we have namedropped a few times the past few months. And for good reason. Widow's Bay is one of the best shows to come along in a long time. Apparently, we are not the only ones to think so. We talk about Zack's Cregger's recent apology tour and the importance of hygiene when going to the movie theater.

We loved the original M3GAN. It came out of nowhere and surprised us with just how good it ended up...

A few months back we covered the bad news concerning Bruce Campbell’s health. We knew things would get worse; we just were not aware of how quickly it would be. We also have more news about Zack Creggers and his role in Gladys. And we thought our interest in the prequel could not get any lower.

The Raid is easily one of the top three best action movies of this century. Nothing has even come close to the action and mayhem it gave audiences fifteen years ago. And it looked like nothing ever would. Until The Fu...

It is nice to see a long running franchise try something different. The new Evil Dead movies are an excellent example. So when we heard that a new director was interested in directing A Nightmare on Elm Street, we were interested. Until we found out who that director was.

We spent a few weeks last year talking about Welcome to Derry. You can listen to just about every episode we had in November and December to hear all our thoughts about the show. The cliff notes version is we did not like it. So what do we...

We hate to start the show with sad news. But the older we get, the more it seems to happen. Two icons from our childhood suddenly passed away and we talk about their accomplishments and the legacy they left behind.

Despite not actually reviewing it for our show, we have talked a lot about Obsession. The little horror film has caught the public imagination like no other movie this year. We talk about the success of Obsession and what it means to indie horror in general.

We do not shy away from movies that make...

One of horror’s most dependable constants are Stephen King adaptations. The latest one takes a book that mixes one of the author’s greatest strengths. King is great at mixing grounded scares with supernatural horror. Which is why the team announced to work on Desperation is interesting. Plus, another clever marketing stunt from Neon.

We have not discussed the Paramount-WB merger. And for good reason. We do not know enough about it and we kinda don’t give a shit. But there is some interesting news to come out of it. Apparently with the rights for A Nigh...

Following last’s week review, Ice Cream Man became a huge talking point on the internet. At the time of recording, the use of AI had not been revealed. And though we thought the movie should be avoided in theaters, we also thought it was worth streaming. Our opinions have not changed, but we do follow it to discuss Eli Roth’s latest release.

This leads into a discussion about Touch Grass. The upcoming movie is an AI-generated horror movie. Unsurprisingly, this has upset a good amount of people But how does it tie into the next V/H...

It is surprising how little people talk about Robocop. When it first came out it was amazing. The character was awesome, the movie was great, and the action was second to none. As is usually the case, the sequels worsened and the recent remake was not so great. Still, it is surprising to see how the property has all but disappeared.

The days of telling a singular story in one movie seem to be gone. Weapons was one of our favorite movies from last year. That being said, we really were not clamoring for more. Unsurprisingly, we...

It has been a long time since we have talked about the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But this week we have a lot to talk about. And it is more than just the Doomsday trailer and the upcoming Spider-Man movie. On the plus side, it seems like the MCU may be closer to the darker Marvel that people have dreamed about for years. That being said, we also heard that with the last Doctor Strange movie and The New Mutants. Only time will tell, but we are interested in what is happening.

We have nothing against toilet humor...

It is impossible to have a horror podcast and not talk about ‘Friday the 13th’ and ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’. And most of our time has been spent wondering how there has not been a new entry in either of the fan favorite franchises for decades. We finally have a little bit of news on both of them.

We also talk about the surprising success of Widow’s Bay. If you take a 10,000 foot view of Rubberhead: The Life and Monsters of Steve Johnson, you will think you know exactly what it is about. And you would not...

SPOILER ALERT!!! THE EPISODE CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS FOR ‘EVIL DEAD BURN’

The ‘Evil Dead’ franchise means a lot to us. It has touched us on a personal level, it has earned its place in horror history, and it is one of the few franchises in Hollywood to never release a bad installment. We talk about whether ‘Evil Dead Burn’ continues the trend and why it will probably always be the most polarizing entry in the series.

A few weeks back we talked about how ‘Evil Dead Burn’ had to be trimmed in order to get an ‘R’ rating. W...

We have spent years talking about how important The Blair Witch Project is. We discuss the pros and cons of the latest reimagining of the iconic found footage classic. And we are definitely interested. Plus, the latest internet horror fad that Hollywood wants to adapt into a movie. And while it does seem a little silly to us, they do have a strong director attached to it.

The Asylum has been putting out grade-A quality B movies for a long time. Sharknado may be their most well-known, but their specialty are mockbusters like Tomb Invader and Top...

It has been a bad week for people who enjoy physical media. 'GTA VI' is not getting a physical release, Playstation games are not getting physical releases after next year, and Sony deleted over 550 movies from user libraries. We also talk about the awesome summer box office.

Sometimes it seems like the days of good old fashioned extreme horror are gone. It was fun to look for movies that everyone talked about but few people had actually seen. In today's world, it is easy to find any movie that you have heard about. And the worst offenders...

The Evil Dead franchise holds a special place in our hearts. It is a part of our youth and brings back lots of pleasant memories. There has also never been anything like it. We talk about how the new Evil Dead movies are continuing to live up to the awesome legacy. We also spend some time discussing how two horror icons have finally come together.

There have been a ton of sharksploitation movies over the decades since Jaws invented the sub-genre. On this show alone, we have gone to Venice, Mexico, and Malta in search of great...

Time moves more quickly now than it ever has. It was not that long ago that we were talking about a new show executive produced by the Duffer brothers. About a month later, it is one and done. As someone once reminded us, we are just two guys who watch movies. Production budgets and domestic grosses are only a passing interest to us. Still, there are some things that catch our attention. Were we right to say that Michael would get to $1 billion? And what does the future hold for Obsession?

There was a major change to...

Aside from Art the Clown, what has Damian Leone contributed to horror? We also come dangerously close to gatekeeping while we discuss what extreme horror is. Plus a discussion on the 28 Years franchise somehow leads to a talk about The Bride.

We spend a good amount of time talking about Find Your Friends. About 98% of it is spent on the film’s writing. It does not take long to realize this is not a good thing. There have been plenty of movies that have led to a discussion about the writing. There has been nothing like this on...

Horror has always managed to do well at the box office. The way of thinking has always been since the movies are so cheap to make, it is easy to profit of of them. This year has been especially good, with indie horror doing a lot of the heavy lifting. It is clear there is a lesson to learn from this, but will Hollywood learn the right one. (Spoiler alert: no.)

Zack Snyder is one of the most polarizing directors around today. That takes in a lot of territory since pretty much everything fits that description nowadays...

Over the years, we have seen and discussed how horror has become more acceptable in the mainstream. This week we talk about two of the most striking examples of this. One is interesting while the other is just straight up weird. But both have us interested.

The idea of a nun who has lost her faith is not strange for an exorcism movie. Having the first introduction of said nun has her completely nude and coked up after a threesome is a little different. After showing off this incredibly buff nun, the awesomely titled Speed Demon takes...

Obsession has become one of the biggest and most talked about movies in America. So much so that it has actually been the number one movie at the box office during the week. Obviously, this will change over the holiday weekend, but it is still nice to see it doing so well. We also talk about what the future holds for it.

It seems like we have been talking about Crystal Lake for years. And every once in a while, we have a little bit more information to discuss. This time we actually have a release date...

We like Sophie Thatcher and have enjoyed the works of Jennifer Kent. The idea of the two of them teaming up has us excited. Especially when it is set in a dystopian world. And it is based on a short story written for the pulp magazines of yesteryear. By a woman posing as a man.

Good Boy was one of our favorite movies from last year. There is no arguing the hype surrounding it was based on its gimmick, however. Director Ben Leonberg’s next movie is also very gimmicky. (No Indy, unfortunately.) We also talk about th...

A few weeks back we wondered how well Michael would fare at the box office. There is so much to his legacy that we truly had no idea. Two weeks later, we have a good idea. It also leads to a discussion about how the media, especially movie critics, really suck.

It took one of us a second viewing to truly appreciate it, but we both loved Longlegs. It is moody, well acted, and just all around frightening. Unsurprisingly, we are very excited to see the sequel. Surprisingly, that is going to be longer than expected.

We really enjoyed Longlegs, so the news of a sequel reuniting Osgood Perkins and Nicolas Cage has us excited. We also cannot wait to see what the next chapter of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre will be like. Maybe this will be the return to prominence the iconic franchise deserves.

There was a lot of horror news to come out of CinemaCon. Two, Evil Dead movies, Clayface, Werewulf, Final Destination 7, and so much more. We discuss as much of it as possible, but one thing is clear. Horror fans have a lot to look forward to.

...

Tale From the Crypt is one of the best anthology horror shows of all time. One of the things that made it so special is that so much has been left to our memories. It has not been available for literally decades. We are excited to hear that the full series is coming to Shudder, but we also wonder how well it will hold up.

One of the most important parts of starting any new job is the onboarding process. It is during this time that you learn all the rules and regulations that will govern your...

With all the reboots and remakes going around, you figured Hollywood was going to have to get to Bloodsport eventually. But how do you cast it? And is a mid-major company known for horror and artsy-fartsy fare the way to go? We also have more complaints about the latest take on It and lament about what it means for Stephen King.

We love vampire stories. As Sinners recently proved, you can tell a great one with strong acting and a top notch story. It seems like Night Patrol is going to go this route. The acting is...

There is no doubting Scream’s place in horror history. Still, it is somewhat surprising what the latest installment has done. Part of the success of the sequels is due to Jenna Ortega. There was a time when she was white hot and seemed poised to take over Hollywood. Has that window already closed?

Horror heads of a certain age will remember Faces of Death. These memories go beyond just seeing the mondo “documentary”. They extend to the first time they heard about it, the stories surrounding, and how they felt watching it. Each new month brings us ano...

There are always upcoming sequels to talk about. Tubi has been kicking ass and taking names. But for all the awesome older content on the channel, people tend to forget that it does have original programming. Last year’s R.L. Stine’s Pumpkinhead was successful enough to have warranted a sequel. Did Tubi stumble on a Halloween franchise?

Jennifer’s Body is one of the most interesting movies of the 21st century. Released during the height of Megan Fox’s popularity, the marketing centered around her and a possible lebsian plotline. Naturally, this did not attract a female...

The 1980s were the best decade for larger than life action heroes. There were so many characters and moments to come out of the decade. We talk about the sudden passing of one of the greatest. Chuck Norris became a meme after the birth of the internet, but he never stopped being a bad ass. Plus, it seems like they are finally going through with a Conan sequel with possibly the biggest action star of them all. We throw around what direction it may decide to go.

Another trademark of the 1980s was pumping out content. The...

Growing up, we were fans of The X-Files. Reboots have been a mixed bag, however. That does not stop us from being excited about Ryan Coogler’s upcoming take on the series. As we speculated last week, The Last Drive-In aired its final episode. According to those in the know, there will be more to come.

The first movie this show throws a lot at the wall. It is a supernatural horror movie with a haunted house, ghosts, and cursed objects. Plus, there are twins, a blind medium, and a monster. Oddity makes it work thanks to pa...

The horror community continues to be rocked with sad news. Bruce Campbell’s announcement is one of the most painful. The latest installment of the Scream franchise has polarized audiences, but has not stopped it from being a success. Will the Maniac Cop reboot do as well?

There is no doubt that Corey Feldman was one of the biggest stars of the 1980s. What has been lost in all the nonsense that has plagued his life since then is what an amazing actor he was. We jumped at the chance to review Corey Feldman vs the World.

We have more Mike Flanagan news this week. With the release date of his Carrie series we discuss what we would like to see from the show. Predator: Badlands recently released on Hulu and did record numbers. We talk about what this means for the franchise.

We have been lucky to cover some fantastic true crime documentaries on our humble little podcast. We have also seen some great folk horror. We never thought the two would come together. The Last Sacrifice does just that in a surprising documentary.

There have been plenty of movies that...

The genesis of our show can be found in the Alamo Drafthouse. We may not go to it as often as we used to, but we did not want to see it close its doors in El Paso. We have not had too many good things to say about The Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise recently. Maybe the latest update will have us singing a different tune. Plus, a lot of Mike Flannagan news.

Unsurprisingly, we love Halloween. The costumes, the movies, the parties, we enjoy it all. Still, a Halloween movie at the beginning of the year...

It was an interesting weekend at the box office. The big discourse was all around Melania, but we don’t really care about that. What was interesting to us was the battle for the top spot between an old favorite and a YouTuber. We also talk about an exorcism movie in the White House and an upcoming movie we reviewed years ago.

Teacher’s Pet sounds like it is an erotic thriller. The story centers around a new high school teacher who notices and wants to help a student in his class. Naturally, things are not what they...

Before we get to our first review, what may possibly be the strangest reboot of the year. As cool as that news is to us, the latest from The Conjuring universe has us more confused than excited. Of course, we talk about the Oscars and a new movie that is taking its cues from one of the greatest Frankenstein adaptations ever.

A few weeks back we discussed how divisive Jaws is. Specifically, we talked about how some people do not think it is a horror movie. This discussion has been going on since it was first released...

It is hard to believe how much happened in 2025. We saw close to one hundred movies, and even the ones we saw in the past couple of months seem like a long time ago. So going back a few twelve months seems like an epic journey. And we do go back to the very beginning of the year.

There are some movies that we said at the time that we would be talking about in our year end review. The major releases that caught everyone’s attention. The twisted take on Cinderella that is head and shoulders ab...

We love horror and genre. It has been the focus of our show for years. And it is because we like these types of films so much that we notice the ones that are really bad. Of course, when you cover close to one hundred movies a year, there are going to be some bad ones. But this year was particularly rough.

Was it the worst year ever? Not on our end. We brought the same passion and dedication we do to every show. There were some long ugly stretches of reviews. This is true every year...

The last show of the year is upon us. We are doing something we have never done before. We have covered limited series before. To end the year we also have the return of one of our most asked about guest hosts. It is all killer, no filler this episode as we end things on a strong note.

A few weeks back we started following Welcome to Derry. The first two episodes were horrible. Thankfully, the third one improved to just merely bad. We figured that was a good time to take a break from the show...
