CTS_ep 182 Triangle
July 02, 2019 05:57 - 1 hour - 124 MBEpisode 182 takes you on a lovely sailing trip with some strangers into the Bermuda Triangle. Or maybe the boat is just named “The Triangle”. Well this 2009 movie is named that and it’s set off the coast of Florida, so we’ll just pretend. So, Will chose this one because the “Devil’s Triangle” was of great concern back in the 70’s, along with killer bees and Bigfoot. This movie covers none of the above. So, if you’re like, “Ooooh, a ghost ship”, you might end up being like, “Huh, time bananas”...
CTS_ep 181 The Dead Don't Die
June 18, 2019 06:04 - 1 hour - 104 MBEpisode 181 is about the new Jim Jarmusch zombie comedy, “The Dead Don’t Die” Thank you for listening!

CTS_ep 180 Tremors
June 11, 2019 06:03 - 1 hour - 156 MBEpisode 180 welcomes guest co-host Paul to the show! Will is on vacation and will return soon. Paul is the kind of guy who can tell you all kinds of things about prehistoric monsters and even draw them really well! He does incredibly well with “urban sketching” too, so you definitely want to hear about that. But what does all of this have to do with the 1990 Kevin Bacon movie, “Tremors”? Great question, and we’re glad you asked. The movie made an impression on a young Paul and he enjoys it fo...

CTS_ep 178 Shivers
May 28, 2019 06:17 - 1 hour - 114 MBEpisode 178 is about the 1975 David Cronenberg classic, “Shivers”. Made in part by taxpayer funds from the Canadian government, Cronenberg made his first feature-length film and blew some minds. It was the 70’s, after all! Sure, everything was brown and plaid and hairy and sweaty, but not usually drenched in blood from parasites! What do your hosts think? Is Will ready to go on another Cronenberg binge? Listen and find out! Find us on Instagram, where we are @chewingthescenery or easily find...
CTS_ep 177 Scream
May 21, 2019 05:57 - 1 hour - 126 MBEpisode 177 finds your hosts welcoming back Ziggy for an in-depth discussion of one of her favorites, “Scream”. Yes, you’ve gotten the young person’s perspective previously for some "Friday the 13th” movies, but this one is different. “Scream” is where she discovered horror was her thing. Do your old hosts get a similar charge out of it? Did Wes Craven really shake up the genre and all the tropes that go with it? Listen and find out. Oh, and….we’ll be right back! Find us on Instagram, where w...
CTS_ep 176 Gorgo
May 14, 2019 06:02 - 1 hour - 102 MBEpisode 176 is a trip back in time and across an entire ocean. “Gorgo” (1961) is a British-American film about a giant monster who may or may not remind you of Godzilla. Of course, that’s not a bad thing! This was a childhood favorite for Jolyon and not exactly on the radar of your other two hosts. How did this giant monster movie land, considering the passage of time and advances in technology? Listen and find out! Now it’s time to relax and enjoy the episode that’s not just a behemoth, it’s...
CTS_ep 175 Castle Freak
May 08, 2019 00:36 - 59 minutes - 82.1 MBEpisode 175 couldn’t be avoided. Well, to be honest, it just wasn’t avoided. Your hosts went ahead and did it - they watched “Castle Freak” (1995). Why? Whose idea was this? That isn’t exactly clear, but that doesn’t matter. What matters is that Stuart Gordon and company stuck to the Barnes Limit™ and brought in in under 90 minutes. Will postulates that there are no main characters, even considering that Barbara Crampton and Jeffrey Combs star in this thing. Your hosts all agree that the Cast...
CTS_ep 174 Basket Case
April 30, 2019 06:37 - 1 hour - 94.1 MBEpisode 174 is about one of those cult movies that earned it’s place in the Midnight Movie rotation. That’s right, "Basket Case", the 1982 Frank Henenlotter film, set in grimy 80’s New York and shot on 16mm film! This is the story of what happens when a bumpkin from upstate New York brings his no-longer-conjoined twin to the big city. Why does the twin kill? Is he jealous of his brother’s glorious, floofy hair? What are some good names for new weed strains? Listen to find out! Find us on Ins...
CTS_ep 173 Three More Friday the 13ths!
April 23, 2019 06:27 - 1 hour - 149 MBEpisode 173 is the best installment of your hosts being joined by a young person to discuss some old "Friday the 13th” movies. You may wonder why, but if you think about it, don’t we all get on this ride with Jason Voorhees starting around age 16? So, Ziggy gets into the Friday franchise with your other hosts and really has some fun with it! Does she have previous context for a Holodeck? Nope. Does that matter? Also nope. Is Kool-Aid a good hair dye? Just take a wild guess! So, get your 90’s ...
CTS_ep 172 Toxic Avenger
April 16, 2019 06:12 - 1 hour - 142 MBEpisode 172 was eventually going to happen one way or another. Your hosts were going to watch a Troma movie and maybe even watch it live to clock their reactions. So, why not do that thing we just said and have it be the 1984 classic, “The Toxic Avenger”. You are welcome to get the movie all set up and follow along, or just listen to the audio here in the episode! Find us on Instagram, where we are @chewingthescenery or easily find us on Facebook. Chewing the Scenery can be found on Soundclo...
CTS_ep 171 Us
April 09, 2019 06:39 - 1 hour - 113 MBEpisode 171 is about the Jordan Peele film, “Us” (2019). If you have not seen it, you must get to a theater while it’s still playing and see it on the big screen. This one is not just a home invasion horror, but one with doppelgängers and massive movements of scary individuals. Just don’t get caught up in the details of how such a thing could happen! Find us on Instagram, where we are @chewingthescenery or easily find us on Facebook. Chewing the Scenery can be found on Soundcloud, iTunes and...
CTS_ep 170 Sugar Hill
April 03, 2019 05:27 - 37 minutes - 51.2 MBEpisode 170 is about a blaxploitation zombie revenge film. “Oh, really- which one?” you might ask. Well, “Sugar Hill” (1974), of course! That’s right, just when you thought it was safe to murder a nightclub owner in order to leverage the purchase of his club, you find out it’s not so easy. His girlfriend, Sugar Hill makes a plan to resurrect zombies and exact revenge on the well-dressed (for 1974) bad guys! This one is a must-see for horror and blaxploitation fans alike! be found on Soundcl...
CTS_ep 169 Nostalgia Critic and Jim!
March 27, 2019 05:54 - 8 minutes - 12.4 MBEpisode 169 comes from the road. This episode isn't epic in length, but the content is a lot of fun. Richard was at Chicago's comicon, C2E2 and got a mini interview with Channel Awesome's "The Nostalgia Critic" and Jim. These two guys are great to hang with, but what's more is that they're really funny! "But but where's the horror?" you might ask. Well, the horrible movies that are covered on Channel Awesome certainly fit the bill! Find us on Instagram, where we are @chewingthescenery or eas...
CTS_ep 168 Tales From the Hood
March 12, 2019 07:09 - 1 hour - 85.5 MBEpisode 168 takes you to the Hood. Your hosts discuss the 1995 horror movie “Tales from the Hood” (1995), directed by Rusty Cundieff. There may be a different sound to the show, but that’s only because there’s awhile new studio with nothing on the walls. Don’t worry, that’ll all be sorted out soon. But this movie has been remastered and looks great! Find us on Instagram, where we are @chewingthescenery or easily find us on Facebook. Chewing the Scenery can be found on Soundcloud, iTunes and...
CTS_ep 167 Personal Shopper
February 26, 2019 07:14 - 1 hour - 103 MBEpisode 167 is about the supernatural suspenseful film “Personal Shopper” (2016) starring Kristen Stewart, Lars Eidinger and Sigrid Bouaziz. A single viewing may not be enough for something like this complex and sometimes misleading film. Find us on Instagram, where we are @chewingthescenery or easily find us on Facebook.

CTS_ep 166 Dracula's Daughter
February 19, 2019 07:22 - 1 hour - 88.7 MBCTS_ep 166 Dracula's Daughter by Chewing the Scenery
CTS_ep 165 Suspiria (2018)
February 12, 2019 07:12 - 1 hour - 114 MBEpisode 165 takes you back to school. A ballet school. Run by witches. Okay, that may be a spoiler if you live under a rock, but “Suspiria” (2018) took on the task of re-imagining the story of Dario Argento’s 1977 masterpiece of the same name (and similar premise). By the way, February is “Women in Horror Month” and Eujenia returns for a guest spot with your kind hosts. “Suspiria” (2018) is a movie with a mostly female cast, so it’s off to a good start! Is the recent interest in the occult be...
CTS_ep 164 Nosferatu Times Two!
January 29, 2019 07:49 - 1 hour - 88.6 MBEpisode 164 reaches as far back as most horror fans will willingly go…1922. That’s right, F.W. Murnau’s “Nosferatu”! But why stop there? Why not also dig into the 1979 Werner Herzog production, “Nosferatu the Vampyre”? There are many similarities, but it's the differences that make the comparison so rewarding. Does bloodsucking cross a line professionally? Do the cats playing with books and apples make up for the rats who get dead when dyed? What does Nosferatu’s name mean anyway? The answers...
CTS_ep 163 The Addiction
January 22, 2019 07:00 - 59 minutes - 81.5 MBEpisode 163 is from the Golden Age of Stuff Like That. You know, the mid-90's! And what could be more itself than "The Addiction" (1995)? You've got a great director with some first-hand experience, an outstanding cast, beautiful black & white film and a city setting that lends itself well to the doings of vampires! Before getting into all of that, Will asks what kind of lousy rock star doesn't drink and do drugs? And is Tilda Swinton an actual vampire? And is that movie "Kids" a vampire film...
CTS_ep 162 More Friday the 13ths
January 15, 2019 07:15 - 1 hour - 128 MBEpisode 162 Takes you back to the lake. Crystal lake. With Jason. And Ziggy. “What? is that the final girl from one of them Friday the 13th movies?” you might ask. Well, no. Ziggy is a friend of the show who lends a young person’s perspective to the Friday the 13th franchise. Do young people all refer to “Star Wars” as “A New Hope”?. As we find out, not all do. What did Will do while working at the liquor store? Not always work, that’s for sure! As you dear hosts go on to analyze four of the ...
CTS_ep 161 Ginger Snaps
January 08, 2019 07:12 - 56 minutes - 77.9 MBEpisode 160 is one for the werewolf movie completionist. You want to watch every werewolf movie ever made? Well, then you’re gonna want to watch this one! Unless you don’t like dead dogs in your movies, fake or otherwise. All kidding aside, this Canadian flick has some fun dialogue, cool style choices and gore galore! Ginger Snaps (2000) is one you might want to visit or re-visit, considering how long it’s been kicking around. So, get your monkshood distillate ready, stay out of stranger’s va...
CTS_ep 160 Terrified (2017)
January 01, 2019 07:01 - 1 hour - 82.7 MBEpisode 160 won’t have an eloquent or verbose description. Your dear hosts have to ring in the new year like everybody else, ya know! So, let’s just say we watched an excellent movie and talked about it! Never you mind that there were subtitles involved! This one will creep you out while restoring your faith in the horror genre up-and-comers! Happy New Year, dear listeners! Find us on Instagram, where we are @chewingthescenery or easily find us on Facebook. Chewing the Scenery can be found o...
CTS_ep 159 A Christmas Horror Story
December 25, 2018 07:18 - 1 hour - 100 MBEpisode 159 is the last episode of the year. That’s okay though, because it’s the annual CTS Christmas Extravaganza! Your hosts will chat a little about the upcoming con season, the possible origins of the expression “saved by the bell” and what sort of demands William Shatner puts into his rider for a movie like “A Christmas Horror Story” (2015). “Whaaaa?” you might say, “William Shatner is in this thing?” you might say. Why yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Clause movie with Captain Kirk in ...
CTS_ep 158 Wintry Three!
December 18, 2018 07:03 - 1 hour - 117 MBEpisode 158 is a Winter tradition here at Chewing The Scenery. Yes, that’s right, your trio of hosts watch a trio (or so) of “Wintry” horror movies, then gather to discuss them. These wintry flicks may not scare you. Or make you laugh. They may not even entertain you….but let’s not get into that! Your hosts do their best to talk about the strengths and weaknesses of the wintry selections. Now it’s time to look closely to see if the Carpet of Horror matches the Drapes of Horror. After th...
CTS_ep 157 Re-watch Redemption!
December 11, 2018 13:59 - 1 hour - 92.2 MBEpisode 157 is about that risk you take when you re-watch a beloved movie after a few years. Or the world of possibilities when you reconsider a movie you didn’t like. That’s right, your hosts risk ruining a few old favorites or redeeming something previously disliked. What could possibly go wrong? Will reveals that you actually can wear out a DVD. Jolyon practices his understanding of Japanese language by turning off the subtitles. Richard talks about that time he took a chance on “Highlan...
CTS_ep 156 Are We Not Cats?
December 04, 2018 13:03 - 1 hour - 88.5 MBEpisode 156 takes you on a trip upstate. To deliver an engine during winter. It’s a day trip for a couple hundred bucks… aw hell, this is just where we live now, so let’s get used to it! This may be oversimplifying the plot of “Are We Not Cats?”a bit, but the details may astound you. You know what else may astound you? Turkish superhero movies. Especially when green Spiderman starts running a counterfeiting operation! When your hosts are done discussing the actual purpose of capes, it’ll be...
CTS_ep 155 Cage Match!
November 27, 2018 07:00 - 1 hour - 112 MBEpisode 155 is something you may have never imagined. Picture your kind hosts welcoming an aficionado and expert on the national treasure himself, Nicolas Cage. Then, imagine some of his greatest works of cinematic drama being compared, discussed and praised. When you bring all of this into a confined space, what else do you call it but a “Cage Match”? Jolyon, Will and Richard are joined by film enthusiast, Jackie, who is happy to talk about some of Mr. Cage’s 89 or so films. Yes, she has s...
CTS_ep 154 Bride of Re-Animator
November 21, 2018 02:19 - 1 hour - 110 MBEpisode 154 finds two of your three hosts catching up with some recently watched movies and TV. Sounds soothing….not as soothing as old-timey Horehound hard candies, but what is? The CTS gang feels the love from across the pond when John from Timperley, UK checks in. Jolyon and Richard discuss the pacing of Westerns and a new one in particular from the Coen Brothers. Jolyon shares a story about the time a movie crew member made a sandwich from garbage and fed it to a star. Richard specul...
CTS_ep 153 Day of the Dead (1985)
November 06, 2018 07:17 - 1 hour - 86.9 MBEpisode 153 is about the George Romero classic, “Day of the Dead” (1985). Of course, you’ll have to sit through a bit of your kind hosts talking about Halloween night and recently watched movies, but it could be worse! For one thing, you’re not in an underground installment with a bunch of crazy militants and other agitated individuals. So, get your chopper fueled up and get ready for a jaw-droppingly fun episode!Find us on Instagram, where we are @chewingthescenery or easily find us on Fa...
CTS_ep 152 Hereditary
October 30, 2018 05:10 - 1 hour - 116 MBEpisode 152 drops just before Halloween, but talks about a successful little film called “Hereditary” (2018). Considering the interesting story, great directing, seasoned cast and other talented people involved, it should come as no surprise that this one did well at the box office. That is, unless you subscribe to the idea that horror as a genre doesn’t involve good storytelling, film making or acting. Of course, we’d never hang with anyone who thinks that way! So, don’t just hover there,...
CTS_ep 151 Halloween (2018)
October 23, 2018 06:08 - 1 hour - 149 MBEpisode 151 invites you to get in the transport bus and join a pack of lumbering lunatics. That’s right- we’re talking about “Halloween” (2018). Before getting into the featured attraction, you’ll meet a guest host, Jonny and learn that he took the challenge of the CTS hosts’ “Batshit Crazy Trifecta” of movies. Richard wonders where our "Hotstuff" movie is. Will suggests the Deviled Ham guy could step up. Then there’s “Halloween” (2018). Is it a bunch of fan service moments strung toget...
CTS_ep 150 Food-Related Horror
October 16, 2018 06:25 - 1 hour - 101 MBEpisode 150 is about what’s eating you. Or what you’re eating. Sometimes it’s hard to tell which is which. That’s right, your hosts are talking about food-related horror! Jolyon had considered a couple of possibilities, then chose “The Food of the Gods” (1976). Hoo boy- this one has one major flaw if you don’t support animal cruelty! HG Wells probably didn’t imagine his original material being interpreted this way, but it isn’t the worst of the lot. Then, it so happens that Will and Ri...
CTS_ep 149 Guilty Pleasures
October 09, 2018 06:02 - 1 hour - 98 MBEpisode 149 isn’t quite an episode 150, but we’re getting there. It’s October and your fair hosts are watching more horror movies than usual. That means, of course, that some movies will be a little, how shall we say… hard to understand for some people. Some horror movie fans might even harbor a bit of guilt for liking what they like. This (mostly) isn’t the case with your hosts, but they will cop to liking what they like and telling you about those little gems. So, get down, get dirty an...
CTS_ep 148 The Bride (1985)
October 02, 2018 06:01 - 1 hour - 84.5 MBEpisode 148 is arguably NOT about a horror movie. There- we said it. Although “The Bride” (1985) IS a Frankenstein, it lacks the menace and body count you might expect in such a monster movie. Hell, they even gave the monster a name. We think it was “Mr. Whiskers” or something like that. House cats do seem like monsters when we forget to teach our wards about them. One lesson that was not skipped, however, was the one about how to do an 80’s hairstyle in a period piece! But enough abou...
CTS_ep 147 Dead of Night and Ghost Stories
September 25, 2018 06:25 - 1 hour - 91.3 MBEpisode 147 gives you more to watch and more to think about. This is due in part to a small misunderstanding with your hosts, but it all works out in the end. The spoilers are kept pretty mild on “Ghost Stories” (2017) so that you might enjoy it more. Will and Richard go ahead and spoil “Dead of Night” (1977) since it’s a made-for-TV movie and um, well, from 1977. Some of it just feels like a mild “Twilight Zone” episode, but Richard uncovers a reference to a small town in Illinois that i...
CTS_ep 146 Mandy
September 18, 2018 06:06 - 1 hour - 106 MBEpisode 146 comes with some rules. First, you aren’t allowed to discuss “Mandy” (2018) by merely saying “it’s so batshit crazy that you just have to see it”. Although that is absolutely true, it’s worth more time and effort than that. Another rule is that if you have a band, you get five years or five albums. Deal with it. That’ll give your “farewell tour” some actual meaning! And, though “Mandy” breaks this rule, you gotta bring that movie in under 90 minutes. There are exceptions, an...
CTS_ep 145 Horror Blind Spots
September 11, 2018 07:01 - 1 hour - 108 MBEpisode 145 pulls back the curtain. As much as you might think your kind hosts have seen it all, there are actually horror movies that lurk in their “horror blind spots”. So- Will, Jolyon and Richard each chose to step up and watch one of those movies that should have been on the long list of “seen it”, but somehow were not. The reasons may include “dumb poster/box art" These include “Happy Birthday to Me”, “Pan’s Labyrinth”, and “Final Destination”. You might have guessed that if Will we...
CTS_ep 144 Lifeforce
September 04, 2018 06:00 - 1 hour - 104 MBEpisode 144 is a cautionary tale about what happens when a whole bunch of dudes and just one woman board a derelict space craft traveling in the tail of a comet and find giant bats and naked people and make the decision to bring all of that back to Earth with them. You know, that old yarn. You probably recognized that as “Lifeforce” (1985). This one had Tobe Hooper directing and was rolling with a deep budget. The cast was good, the story was unique and it all got crazy even beyond the nu...
CTS_ep 143 Only Lovers Left Alive
August 21, 2018 06:25 - 1 hour - 89 MBEpisode 143 could have been about something terrible, but Will saved the day! Instead of a bad sequel, your hosts will instead be talking about “Only Lovers Left Alive”. This is a 2013 film by Jim Jarmusch, a favorite director of all three of your hosts! If nothing else, this film will help you pass the time until the new Nic Cage horror film, “Mandy” comes out. The featured attraction is wandering and dark, cool and disaffected, and you might say that “nothing happens”. You might also s...
CTS_142 Annihilation
August 14, 2018 13:24 - 1 hour - 94.8 MBEpisode 142 is a trip into the Shimmer. This is a rift, an event, a dimensional disruption, something like that. After some discussion of what they've recently watched, your hosts talk about “Annihilation” (2018). Will had really hoped Jolyon was talking about a movie called “Combat Shark”, but it was actually the far less exciting “Combat Shock”. Sorry, but feel free to make that one if you have a camera and a shark. When did Nolan’s Batman remind Will of the San Diego Chicken? Did “Anni...
CTS_ep 141 A Quiet Place
July 31, 2018 06:14 - 1 hour - 96.8 MBEpisode 141 marks the triumphant return of Will, your missing co-host! But please don’t shout about it, the naked bat creatures (or praying mantis monsters, whatevs) might get you! Yes, after a little catching up, your hosts talk about “A Quiet Place” (2018). Even though Will watched almost nothing while in New Mexico, he has managed to get back into the swing with “Snowbeast”, which is actually just a “Jaws” ripoff. If you’ve already watched our featured attraction, you’ll probably unders...
CTS_ep 140 Friday the 13th Parts 1-3
July 24, 2018 06:48 - 1 hour - 132 MBEpisode 140 answers the question “What do young people think of those 80’s slasher movies?”. Well, you might be wondering HOW that question gets answered and it’s pretty simple. An actual young person, Ziggy (yes, that’s her real name) joins Jolyon and Richard right after watching the first three “Friday the 13th” movies for the first time. No kidding, and she kinda binged them too! What did she think of the conspicuous absence of the hockey mask for all of the first two and part of the th...
CTS_ep 139 Deathgasm
July 10, 2018 04:00 - 1 hour - 94.9 MBEpisode 139 takes you on a trip to New Zealand. Yes, you get to hear about the comedic horror movie, “Deathgasm” (2015). Jolyon and Richard are joined by Mike C, who you might remember from the “Rare Exports” episode. Mike is a fan of and an expert on Black Metal, so you can trust his word on such a film as this. Your usual hosts are no slouches either, having been metalheads to some extent or another for decades. Yeah, you might hear a story or two. Now get out your axe and be ready to...
CTS_ep 138 The Blob vs The Blob
July 03, 2018 06:04 - 1 hour - 100 MBEpisode 138 - this is what it’s like when Blobs collide. Yes, you guessed it, your kind hosts are talking about “the Blob” (1958) and “the Blob” (1988). You could say this episode is an “Original vs Remake”, but the films each do certain things pretty well, so let’s not get all riled up! Something you may not remember is that the great Steve McQueen starred in the 1958 original. That Teen McQueen was actually 28 when they made the film, but nobody seemed to mind. One thing Steve probably...
CTS_ep 137 The Strangers- Prey at Night
June 26, 2018 06:31 - 1 hour - 83.7 MBEpisode 137 may upset some and it may find other listeners in agreement. “The Strangers: Prey at Night” (2018) had Jolyon doing the ironing by 40 minutes in. He advised Will to watch “literally anything else”. Richard had already seen it, but Will ended up watching “The Boy” (2016), which was all right. The predictable nature of the film’s style and the fact that it borrowed from plenty of other films made it hard to get behind. One thing it has going for it is that it’s no “The Curse of...
CTS_ep136 Vampire Comedies
June 19, 2018 06:30 - 1 hour - 88.4 MBEpisode 136 explores a bit of a blind spot for some horror fans- the vampire comedy. Should you say that phrase with “air quotes” around it? Perhaps, since sometimes these aren’t so funny. Your hosts give it the old college try and watch a few anyway, with mixed results. Richard shares his experiences with “Rockula” and the Mel Brooks production, “Dracula, Dead and Loving It”. Jolyon talks about “Midnight Mess” as well as one that somehow has James Corden in it. Will manages to find som...
CTS_ep 135 Night School (1981)
June 12, 2018 06:17 - 1 hour - 92.1 MBEpisode 135 is about a 1981 slasher (?) called “Night School”. Whether you enjoy this movie or not, one thing it accomplishes is introducing Rachel Ward as a feature film star. And, while this movie is more giallo than slasher, you might find it to be more of an unflavored giallo. In getting to the featured attraction, your hosts will talk a little about how vendor life at conventions depends a lot on the hustle. Not as much about knitting or staring into your phone. There is also specula...
