Welcome to Murders With Mertens! Each episode I sit down with a guest and discuss one of their favorite scary films so we can gush about everything that makes it just so damned cool! This is for those Best Friends, Ghoulish Knights, and Horror Fam at large who want to listen to their podcasts but if you'd like to WATCH my dumb face talk with my amazing guests then search for @MurdersWithMertens on YouTube! I'll start things off with a massive content dump of audio versions of the first 23 episodes and then I'll update whenever there's something new. Enjoy! Hosted...

10/31/2023

Just in time for the close of Spooky Season (Mariah’s coming like the force of nature she is to Christmas us all to death), Matthew Hidalgo returns to the pod for a blessedly glitch-free recording of an absolute all-timer: John Carpenter’s Halloween! Why is this film one of the best and such an inspiration for decades to come? Tune in to find out!

Saw

10/20/2023

Kate returns to the pod to talk about one of her favorite mid-'00s films, James Wan's Saw! The film spawned 9 sequels and you could use them as a calendar... after all, if it's Halloween it must be Saw! Do we get a little sloppy with cocktails and podcasting? Watch to the end to find out!

Don't Look Now

09/14/2023

Jose Ruckus and I break down the classic English thriller (and not quite giallo) Don't Look Now! I'm saying this a lot about this film but it just gets better every time I see it. It's even better when you get to discuss it at length with a friend! If you've made it this far with Murders With Mertens please consider liking, sharing, and subscribing if you are so inclined!

The Ring

My long time friend Kate Matlen-Remer joins the show to talk about a mutual favorite, Gore Verbinski’s 2002 remake of The Ring! Is this the best American remake of the Asian horror boom? We sure think so, and a classic in its own right! Leave a like and a comment if you have fun with this one and be sure to come by for the next episode in… seven days! 👻
