Episode 129 - Cujo

The tales of Stephen King continue with the most famous of killer dogs, Cujo! Kevin can't believe that such a good boy of a St. Bernard could ever be so bad. Pete wonders if its not too late to learn how to fix his own car. Join us for another terrifying King tale, and remember, don't get too scared...

Episode 128 - The Mist

What happens when a bunch of Mainers get trapped in a super market and creepy tentacle monsters are lurking outside? Kevin has a bad time! Join us as Pete pulls Kevin kicking and screaming through another Stephen King tale about monsters eating humans, humans turning on other humans, and Thomas Jane having another bad day in a King story.

Episode 127 - Friday the 13th The Series

Kevin's notes just say LIES LIES LIES in all caps... Pete's notes, on the other hand, say we have a very special treat this week. In the late 80's, the producers of the Friday the 13th films decided they wanted more, so they made a TV series based around their slasher property. Except it wasn't a slasher, it was a "mystery of the week" horror show. And Jason wasn't in it. And it didn't take place at Crystal Lake. And it was about two cousins trying to retrieve cursed antiques so innocent ...

Episode 126 - The Babysitter: Killer Queen

The Babysitter is back.... kind of. Samara Weaving returns as the deadly babysitter Bee, but only for about 8 minutes, because she got super famous between movies. The rest of the first movie's cast returns as well, mostly to fill the gap from the stars' absence. Will the young boy Cole be able to fight off the forces of evil again?? Yes. He will.

Episode 125 - The Babysitter

It is so hard to find good help these days. Babysitter's can be expensive, or inexperienced, or servants of the Dark Lord who want to sacrifice your children to Hell. Damn inflation. Join us as Pete talks Kevin through the Netflix horror-comedy, The Babysitter, and see in real-time as Kevin loses all faith in ever leaving his children in the care of others again.

Episode 124 - Freaky

Episode 123 - Tucker and Dale vs. Evil

Two lovable idiots, through a series of chaotic mishaps, manage to get framed for being slasher villains hunting teenagers in the woods. No, we don't mean Kevin and Pete. Join us as we talk about this horror comedy starring Alan Tudyk and Tyler Labine. Learn how not to maintain your home, the importance of expressing your feelings, and what's more dangerous - a hive of angry bees or a chainsaw.

Episode 122 - Malignant

Episode 121 - Last Night in Soho

Episode 120 - X

PORN!  It's... what's for dinner?  no, that one was wrong. Sorry.  How about ... Porn is where the heart is? Sounds gross. Scratch that.  A porn in the hand is.. worth... two in the bush? I mean, there's a bush joke in there that works, but that's about it.  Anyways, Kevin and Pete are talking about porn this week! I think they misunderstood the 'sex sells' mantra for marketing.  Listen along as Pete tries to explain to Kevin that he didn't turn into a weird creep recommending this movi...

Episode 119 - April Fool’s Day

Pete is ready to embark on a wild story about a group of unwitting college students getting murdered by a surprise killer!  Kevin can't get over that the movie is called 'April Fools Day.' They both have valid points. 

Episode 118 - Leprechaun 3

THIS one is NOT my fault! KEVIN went away on vacation for a WEEK and gave us the WRONG audio before he left and THAT is why you are listening to our St Paddy's Day episode at the END of the month!  Its ok, Pete's broken spirit and Kevin's constant frustration about this movie is worth listening to any time of the month or year! Explore the... lauded? Appreciated? Tolerated? Film Leprechaun 3 with Pete and Kevin as they learn the true meaning of... St Patrick's Day.  I think it's something ...

Episode 117 - Wishmaster

A dreamy-eyed child staring into night On a journey to storyteller's mind Whispers a wish speaks with the stars the words are silent in him Distant sigh from a lonely heart "I'll be with you soon, my Shalafi" Grey Havens my destiny Master! Apprentice! Heartborne, 7th Seeker Warrior! Disciple! In me the Wishmaster

Episode 116 - Underwater

We've seen her face home invaders, vampires, werewolves, and evil queens, but can Kristen Stewart survive the crushing depths of the ocean (and a bare-bones script)!? Kevin and Pete are talking about Underwater (2020), a film that wastes no time getting to the scares. It doesn't bother doing silly things like introducing characters or setting up the location. We gotta get to the running and screaming! Join us as we take a dip in the ocean and maybe run into some flesh-eating monsters along...

Episode 115 - Interview with the Vampire

What happens when you just throw a smorgasbord of the hottest young male actors on screen and tell them to be mysterious and emotional together?? You get underlying gay tones!  Join Pete as he takes Kevin on a ride through HIS version of the most romantic horror movie he could think of for this Valentine's day episode - Interview with the vampire. Not your typical romance, but were you really expecting it on THIS podcast?

Episode 114 - Scream 5

Who says you can't teach an old franchise new tricks? Scream is back, baby!! And it is just called "Scream" again... but that's okay, because it's making fun of movies that do that... by doing the same thing. Teaching audiences not only the new rules of horror, but the new rules of moviemaking itself, Scream takes us on a bloody, funny, and heavily meta ride. New and old characters fight for their lives and try to figure out who the killer is before its too late. They also have to contend w...

Episode 113 - Scream 4

Our throats are sore, because we've been screaming again! That's right, it is time for Scream 4! This was the entry in the franchise that took a crack at "long awaited sequels/reboots", pointing out how the rules have changed, expectations are updated, and everyone is using the latest technology. Join us to see if Pete is right and this is a worthy sequel to the original. Also, see if Kevin can stand talking about another entry in this franchise, or if he will betray Pete to be the sole su...

Episode 112- Fearless Films Holiday Special!

Episode 110 - Scream 2

Kevin and Pete were SO sick of long winded franchises the never seem to end after finishing the Nightmare on Elm st franchise that they... *checks notes* Yep. They started doing ANOTHER franchise.  Join Kevin and Pete as they traverse their way through the meta-filled universe of Scream 2 where things are apparently bigger, more scary and more... dreamy?  Am I reading this right? Why is Kevin saying this movie is more dreamy? Pete has nothing in his notes about dreams. I would ask Kevin bu...

Episode 109 - Freddy V Jason

Ok This week's notes are a mess.  Kevin's actually got the more coherent one- Today's episode is apparently about how robot boxing matches are WAY cooler than anything else but is also about how Jason and Freddy go toe-to-long arms in a fun but apparently terrible franchise blending blast.  Listen to Kevin complain about how Freddy's arms are always getting in the way, and Pete get angry about Jason and water as they talk about the 2003 movie Freddy V Jason.  By the way- Pete's notes are ...

Episode 108.5 An announcement! and Some Fun

Ok so for reasons explained in this podcast this episode is different- take a listen to our special announcement about Fearless Films and enjoy some fun bloopers we threw in there as well!  K.  Bye. 

Episode 108 - A Nightmare on Elm St (and more!)

I just read the title and so I went back and copied the write up from Episode 49, it's 3AM and I'm tired. I have to work tomorrow because Kevin and Pete don't pay me enough: On this week's episode of Fearless Films, the guys dream up a scare with the essential 80's slasher, A Nightmare on Elm Street. This game-changer from Wes Craven is about a group of teens being stalked in their dreams by a burnt, blade wielding serial killer who can kill you in real life if you die in the dream. Pete e...

Episode 108 - Freddy's Dead

OH SHIT I FORGOT TO WRITE THE THING.  I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE TELLING PEOPLE HERE THAT THIS IS PART OF A SERIES.  Ok. Shit. I SUGGESTED WE DO THIS. Pete and Kevin didn't even realize it was important and I FORGOT.  SO- this is the THIRD episode in a FOUR PART series about the Nightmare on Elm st Franchise.  IF YOU ARE JUST SHOWING UP TO THIS PODCAST YOU PROBABLY DONT WANT TO START HERE.  The first episode for this franchise is Episode #106.  Every month of October Pete and Kevin choose a ...

Episode 106 - NoES: Dream Trilogy

On today's episode the boys are... wow. the boys are talking about THREE movies? well, they've done it before.  Pete and Kevin wind their way through movies 3,4 and 5 of the Nightmare on Elm St Franchise in what Pete is calling "the Dream Warrior Trilogy." I don't know why because I haven't listened to the episode.  Join us as the boys try to navigate through the weird and wild dreamworld that Freddy keeps showing up in! 

Episode 105 - A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2

ITS OCTOBER! Spoooooky time! Also the time where Pete drags Kevin through and ENTIRE franchise so they can explore every detail of the long winded money grabbing bullshit that is the majority of horror franchises! Editor’s note: raise your hand if you can tell when Kevin writes the copy.

Episode 104 - Candyman (2021)

You know the saying 'The Candyman can?' Well apparently the Candyman CAN'T stop Pete and Kevin making fun of the naming of this film, the stupidity of the characters in it, and everything else about this critically successful 2021 horror movie.  It's definitely a sequel apparently. 

Episode 103 - OLD

M. Night is back, baby! Well, maybe. We find out today when the guys discuss his latest directorial effort, Old! A strange beach that makes you age really fast. A group of strangers that have an unknown link. Hey, at least no one has to saw their own leg off in this one.

Episode 101 - Escape room

All Pete's notes for this one is "HORAAY A GOOD ONE!"  Join Pete and Kevin as they wind their way through deadly room after deadly room in a breakdown of Escape Room, which is apparently a better film then the last few they've talked about, according to Pete anyway. 

100th Episode Movie Recap Extravaganza!

I'm pretty sure Pete organized this episode to get back at Kevin.  In this 100th episode movie recap extravaganza! (they make me write out the whole thing each time) Kevin and Pete are joined by TWO SPECIAL GUESTS as Pete tests Kevin's knowledge out on ten movies they talked about over the last 99 episodes.  Come see how much YOU remember and how much Kevin remembers of all these horrors movies Pete watched and broke down for everyone listening. Also come here for the expert input from the...

Episode 99 - The Apparition

What happens when Draco Malfoy, The Winter Soldier, and Alice from Twilight team up to face down a paranormal threat with deadly intentions?? Spoiler alert: they all die. Some college kids summon a ghostly entity, it gets kill-happy, they try to stop it, and things don't go well. Pete may have lost what was left of his sanity on this one. Kevin continues to mock him.

Episode 98 - The House of The Dead

Ok so THIS is a first. Usually I get two sets of notes: a well put together selection of notes with beats, genre feels and a general breakdown from Pete, Aaaand an incoherent mess of jibberish scrawled on the back of a receipt from Total Wine written in crayon from Kevin.  This episode is completely backward! PETE's notes are just a lot of red marker scrawled over what look like stick figures of girls?? i think. The words 'SHOOTY BANG' and 'ZOMBIE BOOM' are scrawled across the top, and it ...

Episode 97- FeardotCom

Hey everyone! did you listen to last weeks episode and go "man that was a good episode, i just wish the movie they talked about was dumber."  WELL. have we got a TREAT for YOU! 

Episode 96 - One Missed Call

Kevin has decided that him being coerced into listening to movies he doesn't like wasn't enough, he's now decided to make Pete watch movies that NO ONE likes.  In the first of our month long mistak-er plan of talking about the LOWEST rated horror movies on Rotten Tomatoes, Pete and Kevin struggle through the "horror" "movie" One Missed Call.  This is probably gonna lose us listeners. 

Episode 95 - I STILL know what you did last summer

If you are ever being hunted by a serial killer, make sure to get in the path of one that has a bad memory. This late 90's sequel sees the return of J-Love and Freddie Prinze Jr. as the evil Fisherman continues his crusade against them. Except this time they go tropical!! (But really they don't, because it rains the whole time and they didn't even film in the Bahamas).

Episode 94 - I Know What You Did Last Summer

You'd think that the homicidal maniac would learn after being bested by two hot teens on a boat. But no, the killer fisherman with a great memory is back for round two, and this time they are going tropical!! Pete and Kev may have found the proto-early 2000's slasher in this late 90's sequel. We've got tropey characters, constant bickering, idiotic decisions, and a killer whose just a jerk and murdering people who have nothing to do with his agenda.

Episode 93 - House of Wax

For this episode we're going to use the marketing that the actual movie did:  Paris Hilton is in this! She Dies!  ... That's it. That's the marketing. That's all you get. 

Episode 92 - Family Friendly Extravaganza!

For a special 4th of July Pete let Kevin talk about family movies! ...  In which he discussed the most horrific moments on family movies that scarred children everywhere for the rest of their live.  Kevin was not amused.  Come see the boys talk about horrific events in classic family movies like The wizard of OZ series, The Polar express and of course- Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. What a ghastly man. 

Episode 92 - Family Friendly Extravaganza!

For a special 4th of July Pete let Kevin talk about family movies! ...  In which he discussed the most horrific moments on family movies that scarred children everywhere for the rest of their live.  Kevin was not amused.  Come see the boys talk about horrific events in classic family movies like The wizard of OZ series, The Polar express and of course- Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.

Episode 91 - Event Horizon

In space no one can hear you scream... because apparently they're all too busy screaming to listen. So basically no one can hear you scream because they're all self centered narcissists. So in space... its just like earth?  Come listen to people scream - or don't listen if that's your thing - as Pete and Kevin discuss the 1991 Sci-fi  Horror movie Event Horizon. 

Episode 90 - Puppet Master

You've seen a killer doll possessed by a voodoo practicing serial killer. But have you seen killer dolls brought to life by Egyptian magic, fighting nazis, duping psychics, and living a life of luxury at a seaside luxury hotel!? If not, then get ready for the 1989 straight-to-video classic, Puppet Master! A film that explores immortality, casual psychic powers that many people seemed to possess in the 80's, and the deadliness of foot-tall wooden puppets.

Episode 89 - Psycho

Fearless Films presents... PSYCHO! Arguably the film that kicked off the modern horror era, Psycho is the closest Hitchcock gets to a slasher. While Pete praises its artistic choices and historical relevance, Kevin can't stop laughing at the thought of a murderous old lady and how scandalous it was that a woman and a divorced man were sleeping together. Also, we have a new contender for best name we have ever heard in a movie: Inspector Arbogast!

Episode 88 - Jennifer's Body

What happens when a film is marketed as a sexy, slasher, slice-em-up, but its actually a tale of growing up and the bonds of female friendship? You get Jennifer's Body!

Episode 87 - The Fly Remake

An insect had a dream that he was a man, and it was beautiful. But now the dream is over. Kevin had a dream that he didn't have to hear about a gross, body-horror film. But that dream is now a nightmare. Pete had a dream that he was late for class, even though he hasn't been in school for over a decade.

Episode 86 - Evil Dead Remake

Once again Pete has given me a decent breakdown of the movie- Evil dead the remake- so I can write this blurb:  "It's a well done remake of the classic Bruce Campbell Evil Dead that takes things a little more seriously while still staying true to the original" THESE are Kevin's notes: "Tongue cutty! The trees are alive and NOT with the sound of music! TRIGGER WARNING they killed a dog those sick fuckos!"  Sooo yeah- listen to Kevin and Pete as they talk through the Evil Dead remake, a mo...

Episode 85 - Night of the Living Dead Remake!

Today we learn about Science!  The science of gas tanks exploding The science of the undead The science of tombstones The science of powerwalking away from your problems.  Science! or lack thereof, abounds in this episode of Fealrless films as Pete and Kevin talk about Night of the Living Dead Remake!

Episode 84- Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Welcome to May! The beautiful month of rebirth, regrow and rehashed old worndown film plots!  Kevin and Pete take us through a deja-vu inducing breakdown of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.  But wait! you cry, monocle falling into your cup of bergamot tea,  I say you've done this one before!  Yes oddly refined listener of ours, we HAVE talked about this exact movie before, but that didn't stop hollywood from remaking this exact movie, calling it the exact same thing, and expecting to reap the...
