Wes Ross is a comedian/podcaster. Isabel Mathes is a singer/actor. In this episode, they join Justin to talk the Wes Craven classic that sliced the Slasher sub-genre wide open.

December 07, 2021 01:00 - 1 hour - 55 MB

Christmas time has come around, and once again we are talking holiday horror. Since our main course this week is only really half a movie we haven't already done, we threw in an appetizer. An early work from the director of Hobo with a Shotgun about murderous Christmas trees, and a sibling story about Santas that slaughter the innocent. What more could one want for Christmas?!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! In this special episode, the buddies finally make a trip to Haddonfield and have our first run-in with The Shape, Michael Myers.

Pop some popcorn, snuggle up to your balloon dog, and enjoy.

Monster Dog (1984)

October 11, 2021 15:00 - 51 minutes - 35.2 MB

In this episode, we dig up the bones of an obscure 80's oddity starring Alice Cooper. It's a wild, head-scratching ride of a movie that's bookended by the same music video played twice. Wild beyond reason, listeners can seek this one out and see if Monster Dog is man's best friend, or should be put down. Enjoy.

Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead (2006)

September 20, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 55.8 MB

The buddies make their first trip to Tromaville in this episode, and fair warning, it's probably the most insane, offensive, bucket of "what the cluck?"  that we've ever covered. Enjoy.

Zombie (1979)

September 07, 2021 20:00 - 57 minutes - 39.3 MB

Having survived the hurricane, the Buddies return with our first Fulci flick. The unforgettable, iconic zombie movie of many different names. Put this audio in your ears and a wood splinter in your eyes, it's ZOMBIE. 

Saw (2004)

August 11, 2021 02:00 - 46 minutes - 32.3 MB

After a long and depressing hiatus, the buddies are back...and we wanna play a game. This episode, we talk James Wan's breakout movie that introduced a new master of horror in the early 2000's and birthed a bevy of box office offspring. Let's go back to the bathroom at the beginning. Warning - Trent is drunk as fuck.  This episode includes a tribute to the recently passed Hollise Murphy. Our thoughts go out to his friends and family, and the entire New Orleans music scene that he was and al...

May 21, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 53.8 MB

In our first episode post Trent's move to South Korea, we tackle the killer korean thriller, I SAW THE DEVIL. It's not one for the faint of heart, but if you can stomach the extreme themes, it's a masterpiece of macabre. Enjoy. TRIGGER WARNING: This film and the discussion within this episode contain scenes of sexual assault.

The Mortuary Collection (2019)

May 08, 2021 21:00 - 53 minutes - 37 MB

We've reached episode 50! And how fitting that with Trent moving to South Korea, this will be the last episode the Buddies record in the same room. Today, we dive into the debut film from Ryan Spindell. It's a crowd pleasing anthology that takes you across everything we love about the horror genre. With a creepy killer performance by Clancy Brown as the mortician, Montgomery Dark, it's an instant classic in the anthology sub-genre. Enjoy.

Riki Oh: The Story of Riki (1991)

April 18, 2021 20:00 - 1 hour - 45.1 MB

This week, we take a trip to the far east in one of the craziest movies we've ever done. It's part kung fu action film and part Troma inspired splatter fest.

In A Glass Cage (1986) Feat. Jeff Burk

March 19, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 51.2 MB

Today, the buddies are joined by bizzaro/horror author Jeff Burk. We take our first dive into the "Extreme" subgenre with a spanish thriller that is sure to be stomach-churning and mind-bending.  TRIGGER WARNING: This episode's movie deals heavily with themes of sexual assault/r*pe/pedophilia/ and the holocaust. Although this film is a complete work of fiction, the bloody buddies understand if some of our listeners cannot handle hearing about these themes in detail.  With that said, enjoy ...

Queen of the Damned - Feat. Abigail Nolan & Michelle Poole

March 01, 2021 01:00 - 52 minutes - 36.2 MB

Our first Zoom pod was a learning experience, but to make up for the quality, we have two guests instead of just one. Both ladies in the New Orleans comedy scene, and hosts of their very own baking/sex podcast, "There's Some S'mores in this House", Abigail and Michelle rip into the mid 2000's sappy emo vampire love story that is...Queen of the Damned.

Get Out (2017) Feat. O'mar Finley

February 22, 2021 19:00 - 1 hour - 46.3 MB

After some covid related delays, we are back for another episode.  Keeping with the Black History Month theme, today we are tackling Jordan Peele's oscar winning thriller, Get Out.

Join us in the sunken place as we stay scared and stay woke.

My Bloody Valentine (1981)

February 15, 2021 00:00 - 55 minutes - 38.3 MB

Love is in the air...or maybe it's just the coal you've been breathing in if you live in Valentine Bluffs. Today we talk a slasher that's near and dear to our hearts. With some classic kills, a memorable maniac, and an eerie ending, it stands above most 80's slashers as a gem in the rubble. Enjoy.

Blade (1998) Feat. Sam Williams

February 07, 2021 06:00 - 1 hour - 49.4 MB

Justin and special guest, Sam Williams dive into the late 90's horror action classic with more edge than an anti-theft katana. Part 1 of 4 BHM Specials for February. Enjoy.

Baby Blood (1990)

January 31, 2021 16:00 - 1 hour - 42.4 MB

In this episode, we explore the joys of motherhood, which sometimes involves big cats in a circus, multiple murders, hijacking a blood bus, and giving birth to the destroyer of the human race. All that and more in this maternal macabre movie from France. 

Dead-Alive (1992)

January 22, 2021 15:00 - 1 hour - 52.6 MB

Following up on last episode's punk splatter vibe, this week we tackle the kiwi classic that inspired every modern splatter horror comedy. Part of Peter Jackson's trilogy of cult classics, and with one of the greatest final acts of any zombie movie, it's not one to watch on a full stomach. Enjoy.

Uncle Peckerhead (2020)

January 12, 2021 11:00 - 59 minutes - 40.9 MB

As you can tell by the title of this week's episode, Trent got to pick some titles this month. I'm not even mad though, because this is a hilarious and heartfelt punk rock splatter flick that leaves a lasting impression. Take a shot every time Trent points out a band shirt he recognized in the movie. Enjoy.

Jack Frost (1997)

December 30, 2020 16:00 - 1 hour - 49.5 MB

The last episode of December is a CHILLING and thrilling little cult classic. Truly a one of a kind slasher (besides the sequel), this is one that goes all in on it's concept. Trigger warning to our sexual assault survivor listeners for this one.

Gremlins (1984)

December 22, 2020 23:00 - 1 hour - 45.4 MB

With just a few short days until Christmas, we unwrap the tiny terror that spawned a million imitators. It's a Joe Dante classic with that "Amblin Feel". A movie that really tugs at your heartstrings, but with enough gross-outs and scares to satisfy a couple degenerates like your hosts. Enjoy.

Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984)

December 12, 2020 22:00 - 59 minutes - 40.6 MB

1 week closer to Christmas, and today we tackle another holiday horror. It's a story of mental trauma and proves that nuns are just the worst. Leave out the milk and cookies, tie little Billy to the bed, and go let the cat inside for Silent Night, Deadly Night.

It's December, so the buddies are getting into the holiday spirit. This week we take a look at this Gremlins inspired, (mostly) family friendly fright flick.

Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)

October 29, 2020 16:00 - 48 minutes - 33.4 MB

In today's episode, we look at an underrated, and wrongfully misunderstood movie. Originally the butt of many Michael Myers jokes, when judged on it's own, this is a very fun movie. Starring the sexual tyrannosaurus, Tom Atkins, this is a staple of October viewing.  2 more days til Halloween Halloween Halloween 2 more days til Halloween Silver Shamrock! 

Spookies (1986)

October 28, 2020 06:00 - 38 minutes - 26.7 MB

Wow. There's not a whole lot I can say about today's movie. The buddies dive into a movie that is so off the wall crazy, that most people think it's two different movies cut together. The characters are paper thin, there's no explanation for anything, but damn is it fun. Like dipping french fries in your frostie, this movie seems strange and unnecessary, but it pays off in a really fun experience.

We're on the final lap of the 31 days of Halloween, and today, the buddies crack open the first of the Tales from the Crypt feature length films and the movie that made Ernest Dickerson a master of horror. It's a perfectly crafted pulp story with a stellar ensemble cast including Billy Zane's show-stealing performance as The Collector. With other legends such as William Sadler and Dick Miller, it's not one you should miss. So cozy up to the closest corpse, and enjoy a fright-filled flick of ...

October 26, 2020 14:00 - 40 minutes - 28.1 MB

October 25, 2020 20:00 - 56 minutes - 38.6 MB

Today, the buddies take a look at the New Zealand made metal demon movie called DEATHGASM. (Lower case is for pussies). It's a great party movie with some really lovable characters, heavily influenced by Evil Dead II and Dead-Alive. If you don't like it, you're probably a poser. Enjoy.

October 22, 2020 14:00 - 1 hour - 44.8 MB

Today, we take a look at Clive Baker's awesome monster mash movie, Nightbreed. It's a movie that the buddies love to death and you should too. Part slasher, part creature feature, part romance, all awesome. Careful editing was required to remove the names of some assholes in government we talk about. I guess if we get sued, we'll go looking for Mideon to start a new life. Enjoy.

Them! (1954)

October 21, 2020 05:00 - 25 minutes - 17.8 MB

Following up on yesterday's insect movie, the creepy crawlers in today's movie are far larger in size. It's the atomic age, B-Movie not about bees, but about ants. It's a warning against nuclear energy, the A-Bomb, and it's pretty fun. Enjoy.

With an amazing performance by Brad Douriff, and boasting the greatest jump scare of all time, it's a movie that more people should appreciate. During the recording of this episode, we experienced some very strange noises in the audio and technical difficulties. Were these simply coincidence, or did someone or something disapprove of us talking about this movie? You as the listen...
