Woah! Ross & Matty are back with a whacky one this week PolterPals™ After YOU PEOPLE angered THE N E T W O R K, they took away your right to vote and chose the movie for us this ep, just like old times.

After avoiding near catastrophe when yet another tie almost took place on the @PolterguysPOD Twitter poll, the guys sit down this Ep to review 2004's The Grudge, a movie you may remember enjoying, but you're probably dead wrong about that. Ross & Matty also get to the bottom of their friendship issues as of late, as they come to terms with the fact that Ross has his "demons", and Matty may have some living alien relatives after all.... Make sure to listen all the way to the end PolterPals!

Episode 81: Unfriended 2

November 02, 2019 07:04 - 1 hour - 151 MB

We're back PolterPals! But honestly....it's sort of your fault we went anywhere in the first place...After the very first 3 WAY TIE in Polterguys Polls history, THE N E T W O R K took it out on us, by not only shapeshifting the Lodge and separating us for weeks, but then forcing us to watch the ONLY LOSING OPTION in the whole poll...Unfriended 2

Episode 80: The Fog (2005)

October 12, 2019 05:08 - 2 hours - 183 MB

It's mail day in The Black Lodge and while Matty tries to read some *important* mail sent to him with his possible 23&Me results, Ross cuts him off so they can talk about this week's movie, the 2005 remake of The Fog. In one of the most redundant endings to any movie they've covered, you'll wanna listen through all of this one Polterpals!

October 05, 2019 06:55 - 1 hour - 158 MB

September 03, 2019 06:33 - 1 hour - 157 MB

After taking a week to attempt going on a strike against The Network, Ross & Matty decide their pleas for the TV remote to be returned to them are going unheard, and decide to review the highly requested (and voted for) Goosebumps movie!

July 21, 2019 06:25 - 1 hour - 163 MB

Episode 73 of the Polterguys Podcast packs a bunch of stuff into one thing, much like the movie the boys review this week, "Thirteen Ghosts", or, more properly known as "Thir Thirteen Een Ghosts".

July 04, 2019 07:09 - 1 hour - 117 MB

As voted by YOU, the loyal listeners, AKA the PolterPals™, this week Ross & Matty review relatively unknown horror flick "Dead House". It's a classic home invasion gone wrong story, where the dialogue is worse than anything that's actually going on, plus zombies! The guys also dig into the fact that they may be running OUT of movies to talk about...so could their time in The Black Lodge be coming to an END?

Episode 67: Creature From the Black Lagoon (Ft. Matty's Brother)

May 24, 2019 05:27 - 1 hour - 139 MB

It's a family affair this week on Polterguys, as the higher powers decide to bring Matty's very own human and/or alien BROTHER into The Black Lodge in a whacky turn of events. Luckily, he watched the same exact movie that Ross & Matty were forced to watch this week, the very classic horror movie, Creature From the Black Lagoon.

Episode 65: The Green Inferno

May 11, 2019 07:06 - 1 hour - 144 MB

And we're back! After being visited by a guest in the last episode, things got hectic for Ross & Matty for a couple weeks, but really Matty just spent a lot of time learning more about human culture. But now the boys are back with a fresh new ep to take a bite of, specifically if you're a cannibal, cause this week, gore-filled cannibal flick "The Green Inferno" was voted as the movie to watch. It's a fun-filled ep, including a for sure guest appearance by Director Eli Roth! Sponsored by: ...

April 23, 2019 00:10 - 1 hour - 121 MB

Episode 63: The Forest

April 05, 2019 06:35 - 1 hour - 117 MB

This week Ross & Matty were voted into the spookiest of forests according to movies, THE Forest. Demons, twins, twine, cheezits and ghosts, make up this terrible take on the real-life "Aokigahara" AKA "Suicide Forest" in Japan. Count along with how many times "the forest" is said! @PolterguysPOD #itsatwinthing

Episode 62: The Haunting (1999)

March 24, 2019 04:19 - 1 hour - 138 MB

After a surprising demonic return caused some chaos at the end of last week's Holiday Ep Spesh, Ross & Matty try to put it behind them and push forward for another episode this week...but there's a lot more in Matty's bowels that need pushing. Anyway, this week, the guys cover 1999's "The Haunting" in a twisting and confusing family tale, that doesn't live up to the now-famed Hill House name.... Join us! @PolterguysPOD

Episode 61: Leprechaun Returns

March 15, 2019 06:55 - 1 hour - 136 MB

The Polter-Pals™ voted yet again, and it's another luck-less week for Ross & Matty, as their plans to celebrate this year's St. Paddy's Day (demon-free) are halted by having to watch the brand new "Leprechaun Returns" instead. As they drudge through this mistake of a sequel, Ross seems to be a little TOO into the Irish folklore and at the end of this episode, the boys are visited by an old friend....

Episode 60: The Titan

March 08, 2019 20:12 - 1 hour - 145 MB

AND WE'RE BACK! After a 2 week hiatus, Matty found Ross tucked away in a dark corner of The Black Lodge definitely NOT crying over the recent passing of that Mars Rover or whatever, and helped him collect himself as they watched this week's movie, as CHOSEN again, by the PolterPals. It's quite possibly the worst Netflix Original ever, the 2018 sci-fi movie, The Titan.

Episode 59: Stay Alive

February 14, 2019 21:37 - 1 hour - 157 MB

Another week, another episode chosen by YOU the PolterPals™!

Ross & Matty crack open some jars of Matty's BH Sauce™ and review this very-mid-2000's video game horror flick. Follow us on Twitter to never miss your chance to vote for an episode! @PolterguysPOD

Episode 58: Spy Kids 3: Game Over

January 31, 2019 08:27 - 1 hour - 108 MB

It’s GAME OVER this week for Ross & Matty as The Black Lodge reaches a torturous level never before felt. In a whacky turn of events, The Lodge spirits gained access to the @PolterguysPOD Twitter, allowing the first ever FAN VOTED episode, and with a little paranormal persuasion, the atrocious “sci-fi” flick ‘Spy Kids 3’ won the voting poll. Listen as Ross & Matty dig through this mess of a movie, while continuing to deal with the powers of The Black Lodge, all while Grandpa Cortez’ ball...

Episode 57: Children of the Corn

January 17, 2019 19:57 - 1 hour - 145 MB

This week Ross & Matty jump to 1984 for a corn-filled classic horror tale from their boy Stevey Ting.

Episode 54: Jack Frost

December 27, 2018 06:36 - 1 hour - 132 MB

This week Ross & Matty keep up the Holiday spirit (thankfully not literally for Ross) and review the Wintery tale of 1997's "Jack Frost", not to be confused with that one Michael Keaton was in a year later...

October 11, 2018 04:00 - 1 hour - 128 MB

Previously on Polterguys: In preparation to celebrate 1 full year of the pod, Matty once again angered the deities within Ross. The evil forces then caused the entire Black Lodge to cave in on the beloved Polterguys.
