December 13, 2019 07:19 - 1 hour - 67 MBJason returns this week in our review of Friday the 13th Part III!

December 06, 2019 16:07 - 1 hour - 73.2 MBDisney gets dark in this week's review of The Hunchback of Notre Dame! With stunning music, a wretched human villain, and incredible visuals, Hunchback might have been too much for kids in 1996. Most of the Media Ghouls were kids at the time and they're here to share their personal journeys with the film, and how it might have taken a little maturity to fully appreciate it. The film's themes of religion, genocide, and human rights make this one worthy of discussion...at least until somebody b...

November 29, 2019 05:23 - 46 minutes - 41.4 MBIt's been six years since Disney's Frozen became an international phenomenon. At long last, Frozen 2 has been released...and Disney nerds have a new reason to argue. Join the Ghouls as they take a look at the newest Walt Disney Animated Studios feature. With middling songs, a bizarre plot, and incredible animation, it's no surprise that Ian and Justin were lukewarm, but their opinions seem to matter very little when they accept that they aren't the target demographic. Does that make their opi...
Media Ghouls Episode 151- Pocahontas
November 22, 2019 07:43 - 1 hour - 61.9 MBDisney has been at the head of its share of controversies over the course of the company's long history.

Justin points out how the story has more in common with the superhero genre than horror.

October 25, 2019 23:20 - 58 minutes - 52.6 MBThe Universal horror cycle sees it's last hurrah this week with our review of Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. After a string of monster crossover films offering little more than diminishing returns, Universal shelved Frankenstein until two very successful comedians came along. Bud Abbott and Lou Costello's first monster mash turns out to be one of the best "Frankenstein" films of the classic era. However, it's actually Bela Lugosi's return to Dracula and Lon Chaney Jr's Wolf Man that m...

Not everything is tied up nicely in this very long finale, but there is plenty to like. Ian wastes no time though decrying the film's weak script, misuse of cg, and tonal dissonance. The broader subject of studio meddling is discussed in addition to their collective confusion on some of the movie's bizarre story choices. Trigger Warning: The 52:00 - 59:00 minute mark...
Media Ghouls Episode 141 - IT Miniseries
September 17, 2019 06:49 - 1 hour - 58.2 MBIt's a blast from the past on the Media Ghouls Horror Marathon as Ian and Justin attempt to remember their first experience with IT while reviewing the original 1990 adaptation of the novel. This tv miniseries has some interesting history surrounding it, but have the recent pair of remakes rendered this original movie obsolete? Not quite. There's actually quite a few major differences between this and the newer films, and no amount of lackluster acting could make a horror fan forget Tim Curry...

September 13, 2019 06:20 - 51 minutes - 46.1 MBThe Media Ghouls Months of Horror continue this Freaky Friday with Friday the 13th Part 2! Ian struggles to find much of value in this rushed sequel despite Justin's pleas as a fan of the series.

Media Ghouls Episode 138 - Hellraiser
August 23, 2019 07:06 - 55 minutes - 51.2 MBThe Media Ghouls Horror Marathon continues this week with Hellraiser! This was a very unique horror film when released in 1987 and retains that reputation today! From the mind of Clive Barker comes a domestic horror film about a family whose ties to one another are strained by abuse, infidelity, and lies. With one of the creepiest uncles ever portrayed in film and the introduction of the instantly iconic Cenobites, Hellraiser is worthy of a watch, but when Justin starts revealing his own dark...
