The Net (1998) feat. Jack Druce
April 11, 2024 02:02 - 56 minutes - 37.6 MBMore freaky internet stuff abounds as me and Jack Druce watch "Lunatic Fringe", S1/E16 of The Net (1998)- yes, a TV adaptation of the Sandra Bullock movie about evil internet goons and wide-ranging lofty conspiracies- sound familiar?? We're talkin' cults, JFK, fun crimes and whether Jack should legally be allowed to use a pen.

Freakylinks (Tom Lang)
March 13, 2024 22:45 - 1 hour - 43.4 MBSurf's up! Surfing the WEB, THAT IS!!! We're in the land of strange early 2000s internet with S1 E10 (or 11?) of Freakylinks (2001), a y2k X-Files starring more cast members of Can't Hardly Wait than you'd expect. Tune in for Comedy Jeff and me and Tom Lang being ANCIENT. Follow the podcast: Twitter: @reanimatespod Instagram: @reanimatespod YouTube: @re-animatespodcast Tumblr: /reanimatespodcast

March 02, 2024 02:43 - 48 minutes - 34.9 MBNotice me, Senpai, notice me! This week we're fresh outta the Jeff Mines with a 2023 release, Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Souls. Ready your amulets as Martin Dunlop and I enter a world of ghouls, spells, deeply irritating personal quirks and awesome puppets. WARNING: contains discussions of rock and roll power ballads.

Beyond Re-Animator (Tim Clark)
February 15, 2024 05:23 - 1 hour - 65.2 MBI guess the podcast has been....re-animated?? Everyone's favourite Jeffrey Combs podcast returns for the long-awaited (what I am calling) Season Two! And with a bang- me and comedian Tim Clark cover the third film in the Re-Animator trilogy, 2003's Beyond Re-Animator! Come for the bisecting, stay for the bad Irish accents and Tim's frankly haunting Oscars knowledge.
Brutal (Martin Dunlop)
August 03, 2022 03:59 - 53 minutes - 35.3 MBWhat could have been an interesting 80s slasher is actually a pretty tedious 2000s GrimGore™ slog, as me and Martin Dunlop look at 2007's Brutal. Deeply strange music choices, a very convoluted deux ex machina and a town in Nowhere, USA- Brutal has it all for your early-oughts horror needs. And Jeff has a new hat!
Would You Rather (Jeremy Herbert)
July 12, 2022 00:55 - 1 hour - 47 MBOne of the more divisive episodes, evidently! Me and writer Jeremy Herbert have quite different opinions about this episode's movie, 2012's Would You Rather, featuring Jeff in 'dapper, refined sadist' mode. But hey, we all love a bit of healthy debate here at Camp Re-Animates. We also dig into a special After Dark version of that IMDB game I still don't have a name for- Re-Animates gets blue!
Jake and the Fatman (Alex Malone and David Shaw)
May 10, 2022 05:22 - 59 minutes - 41 MBRe-Animates 2: Back in the Habit! The Jeffpod returns with more of what we all want: lols, factoids and incomprehesible tangents into nowhere. This week I'm joined by my Punwatch and Failure to Launch co-conspirators, Alex Malone and David Shaw, for "What Is This Thing Called Love", the S1/E16 episode of "Jake the Fatman" (1988). No, I don't know why the episode is called that, either. Surely "A Close Shave" would've made more sense? Listen to the ep to find out why!
Castle Freak (Timothy Clark)
March 09, 2022 10:15 - 1 hour - 52.9 MBThis week, me and Timothy Clark answer some FAQ about Castle Freak (1995), like: Is it more of family drama with a creepy dungeon dude dropped in? How do you escape an Italian jail? Did The Duchess win Best Costume Design at the 2008 Oscars? (Yes; Easily; Tim's A Nerd So Yes). Come run around Le Castle Del Reilly with us! Molto bene!
House on Haunted Hill (Rob and Lucy Caruana)
February 15, 2022 03:15 - 1 hour - 41 MBJoin me and Rob and Lucy Caruana for a look at the Haunted Hill House...House on the Hill...Haunted House on the Haunted Hill...a movie, anyway. A movie with scarcely any Jeff but enough Chris Kattan and killer 90s lines for anyone. Also: zoetropes.
The Wizard of Gore (Martin Dunlop & Harry Brimage)
January 26, 2022 05:02 - 1 hour - 51.9 MBDo you feel...anything? You're bound to, as Martin Dunlop and Harry Brimage join me to tackle The Wizard of Gore (2007), in all its bloody, leechy, very 2000s glory. Come for the cavalcade of character actors, stay for body horror and Lana Del Ray.
Sharkman (Josh and Christian, Welcome to Patchwork)
January 14, 2022 02:19 - 1 hour - 68.3 MBKicking off 2022 with an absolutely corker- I mean, the film [Sharkman / Hammerhead: Shark Frenzy (2005)] is rubbish but a great time was had on the pod by me and my guests Josh and Christian from the Welcome to Patchwork podcast! Jeff is in classic Mad Scientist mode and we discuss sock etiquette, good shark names and what to do when something explodes.
Ultraman: "A Quartet of Creatures" (Nick Mason)
December 22, 2021 01:18 - 34 minutes - 29.4 MBIt's a Creature Feature! Me and Nick Mason (The Weekly Planet) check out "A Quartet of Creatures", S1/E3 of Ultraman- a show that is NOT Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. There's a lot of bad costumes and fight scenes but more importantly there's a lot of Jeff! We also look at the monster mid-life crisis, gross trivia games and why on Earth this show exists in the first place.
Snide and Prejudice (Ben Volchok)
December 13, 2021 03:58 - 55 minutes - 37.6 MBIt's Springtime for Hitler, as me and Ben Volchok dig into Snide and Prejudice (1997), a film about a man who think he is the Fuhrer. It's not as grim a time as you think but it's no knee-slapper, either. It's a weird one! Plus: some IMPECCABLE Matthew McConaughey impressions (sorry) and lots of singing (not sorry).
Felony (Cara)
November 25, 2021 01:32 - 1 hour - 45 MBLeap through your nearest plate-glass window and listen to me and Cara (Cruisin' for a Reviewsin' podcast) chat about fun action-comedy Felony (1994)! Jeff teams up with some old mates, does a lot of cool stunts and even has a romance! We talk about bugs, Nic Cage and the greatest podcast crossover of all.
From Beyond (Ben Nichols)
November 17, 2021 04:06 - 1 hour - 48.4 MBBen Nichols joins me for the gooey, sexy, monstery but very pretty From Beyond (1986)! One of Jeff's classic roles, it seems him team up with heaps of familiar friends from Re-Animator to make the moist and mind-bending masterpiece. Also: Beetlejuice goes Hawaiian, sensual pleasures and a million-dollar KFC idea.
Parasomnia (Emily Intravia)
November 10, 2021 06:07 - 1 hour - 47.5 MBEmily Intravia (The Feminine Critique podcast) joins me for the spooky, sleepy, slightly icky Parasomnia (2008). The film sees Jeff team up with old mate, writer/director William Malone and chewing a whole lotta gum. Plus: toilet robots, bro horror and Comb Juice comes full circle. Also, enjoy a lot of nice but unplanned bird sounds.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - "The Magnificent Ferengi" (Andy Webb)
October 28, 2021 02:15 - 55 minutes - 38.1 MBWriter/Trekker Andy Webb joins me to ~liquidate~ "The Magnificent Ferengi", Season 6/Episode 10 of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and one of Jeffrey Combs' most beloved Trek characters- Brunt!

October 20, 2021 05:46 - 1 hour - 45.8 MBTom McLean (Not Good Enough podcast) joins me for the very gooey and very 90s The Guyver (1991)!

Stan Against Evil (Alasdair Tremblay-Birchall)
October 06, 2021 02:02 - 43 minutes - 20.1 MBNot to be hyperbolic, but this podcast is the healing light of the world. Join me and Alasdair Tremblay-Birchall (Two in the Think Tank) as we traverse the juicy universe of season 2/episode 4 of Stan Against Evil, with Jeff as a magical IMPISH MAN. He's impish! Plus: gravy, prisms and yet more Horse Chat. Yeah, look, it's a weird one.
Trancers II (Trav Nash)
September 29, 2021 09:38 - 39 minutes - 18.1 MBCome for the time-hopping sci-fi, stay for Horse Chat! Artist and comedian Trav Nash joins me to chat Trancers II (1991), a silly movie with a silly (aka small) amount of Jeff. It's a Full Moon movie, so...you know what you're in for.
The Twilight Zone: "The Placebo Effect" (Tom Lang)
September 22, 2021 01:09 - 47 minutes - 21.8 MBFunny guy/science communicator Tom Lang joins me to discuss 'The Placebo Effect', S1/E34 of the 2002 Twilight Zone reboot. Jeff has lumps, Tom predicts the End Times and we learn about the Ice Age. Tune in to see if a throwaway joke becomes more and more annoying as the episode goes on! My bet's on "hmmm maybe"

Urgency (Roland Hoffman and Murphy McLachlan)
September 09, 2021 02:26 - 53 minutes - 24.5 MBThis week, Roland Hoffman and Murphy McLachlan join me with a sense of Urgency (2010)- geddit?- getting into this low-budget, odd thriller where Jeff has a lot of Divorced Guy Energy. We also talk a lot about Titanic and I'm not sorry about it.
