Midnight Movie Gumbo Podcast

Did zombie extras really volunteer to eat slaughterhouse scraps? Ralph clears the air in this clip!

Growing up a child of the 80s, horror movies was the foundation of my childhood . And Dawn of the Dead was and still remains my all time favorite film. I knew getting into podcasting that I would eventually venture into interviewing cast members or at least hoping they would accept. Ive been Facebook friends with Ralph for several years , so I asked him if he would be down to be a guest. He accepted, and let me tell you this was so much fun . Nellie B and I are eternally grateful to have him on as our first official...

We decided to stay on point with child horror following last weeks episode on Monkeys Magic Merry Go Round , and follow up with Hulus Mr. Crocket. Two different films with one thing in common ……childhood trauma. Which ones of these films would choose as your favorite?

Possibly one of the darkest films we’ve witnessed in a long time, and hardly anyone is talking about it. I can’t recommend this one enough, but be advised it cuts deep. In anticipation of Buddy, be sure to experience this insane masterpiece!

Horror is on fire this year and we cannot wait to dive into these films. Join us on our latest episode!

One of the most underrated films that doesn’t get the love it deserves. We can’t recommend this one enough to action film lovers.

We recently checked out Backrooms at our local theatre , and of course we had to talk about it.

We’re sorry for the extended break, but life has been rough. We are happy to bring you our take on HBOs hit series Euphoria.

Nellie B and Steven Sane hit the town and caught Curry Barker’s theatrical debut, Obsession, starring Michael Johnston as the whiny, self-absorbed man child Bear, and Inde Navarrette as Nikki, the cool girl turned cursed, homicidal walking-meat-sack. This one is a roller coaster of a watch. Not much down time, so be prepared for lots of cringing, shrieking, and creepy bitches in the corner.

Check out Obsession in theaters now or catch their digital release June 2nd!

Thanks for listening!

We are entering the age of A-Scare-ius! 2026 is proving to be chock full of original, exciting horror films that have Nellie B and Steven Sane eager to spend the rest of this year rotting in a movie theater seat.

We talk about upcoming theatrical releases that have us in a chokehold, like Backrooms and Obsession, our recent connections with some local podcasters and horror enthusiasts, and even some upcoming film festivals in Louisiana we’re pumped to attend this year.

Could this be another horror renaissance that we’re experiencing?

What upcoming movies are...

Tonight, we are cooking with the locals! From Baton Rouge writer and director Kaleb Mixon and his company Grunch Road Media, we were blessed with these two punk rock, home-brewed Louisiana cryptic creature features that are definitely worth the watch.

The Rise of Parlangua, a bloody biography of a mutant alligator-human, and Scent of Skunkape, an 80s inspired battle of a swamp Sasquatch and the Cajunest man ever seen, had us wheezing. Or maybe that was the herbal enhancement. The Midnight Movie Gumbo duo was even lucky enough to talk to the director himself to hear firsthand...

Stacy Keach, Scott Wilson, and Jason Miller in William Peter Blattys directorial debut. The Ninth Configuration dives into questioning the existence of god . The all powerful all knowing foot. Check it out on Tubi !

Another ADHD driven episode where we chose Zombie Strippers as our film topic. Starring Jenna Jameson, and Robert Englund .

After a soldier is bitten and escapes, he lands in an underground strip club infecting a dancer which spreads throughout the club.

Tubi Tuesday is back with another film that came on late at night with the tv on as we slept. Woke up to the sounds of a travel documentary and decided to stay up and watch.

A saga that has spanned over 20 years has brought back a lot of feelings with Danny Boyle’s 28 Years Later. Steven Sane and Nellie B discuss the stunning performances of the film, while also noting on the trends of successful tropes in horror in relation to politics in American movies. Movies have a way of communicating a message, especially horror. What was 28 Years Later saying? Whatever its message, it has a badass delivery.

We are back with Season 2 of Gumbo! New house, new studio, new opportunities to piss off prudes. And what better way to ring in our new season than with our favorite guest, Melanie Mann, to discuss good old fashioned Christian propaganda films. Melanie grew up in a fundamentalist Christian household headed by Bob Jones and was homeschooled with their proprietary homeschool curriculum and provides an incredible insight into growing up in a fundamentalist household. Unusual Films and Bob Jones University created a series of “educational” movies with Christ-like life lessons, including today’s feature ‘Project Dinosaur’. Do I hear a new seri...

Welcome back sickos were here for a second attempt at this long awaited episode. After some tech malfunction with our first try, we found some luck with this one. A month or so ago Nellie was contacted via Facebook about an acting role. Needless to say we were a bit nervous about responding at first, but took a chance. Shot entirely on an iPhone with a crew of three people movie magic was made. I would best describe the film as drama/suspense shot in southeast louisiana . What these guys were able to do with an iPhone was pretty...

In the spirit of the current state of affairs, we dissect the implications of the religious exploitation genre and the evolution of Rapture movies. Despite its far fetched plot lines, one-dimensional storytelling, and often lack luster quality, they seem to be fairly successful. Where does the line lie between art and propaganda? Where will you be when Jesus comes back? We’re pretty sure we’ll still be here after this episode.

When the S-Town podcast aired it was downloaded millions of times in just a few days. It follows the story of John B Macklemore , a reclusive antique clock restorer who lived in the small town of Woodstock Alabama. He contacted the host of This American life podcast Brian Reid about a potential coverup of a supposed murder in his town. All which turned out to be false but someone would end up dying before the podcasts conclusion. Talks of a mini series are in place, but who knows what could happen.
