The Woman In The Room Commentary (First Time Watch)
January 06, 2024 09:03 - 42 minutes - 77.2 MBBig shout out to Danny Donnelly, Nick Peetros and Aimee Theresa for letting me get a peek at this prior to their release... In a world where there's sooo many Stephen King adaptations on the small and big screens, I never thought a short would catch my attention like this. And it still leaves a lot to the imagination. Enjoy, people.
The First Omen Trailer Reaction/Thoughts/Rant
January 03, 2024 22:29 - 23 minutes - 43.7 MBYes, it says "Rant" in the episode title... It pissed me off that much. Not my best rant by far, but what I said was WELL deserved here. This is nonsense. Enjoy, folks.
Everything Everywhere All At Once Commentary (First Time Watch)
January 03, 2024 00:13 - 2 hours - 285 MBLong overdue, well deserved... Enjoy, people.
It's A Wonderful Knife Commentary (First Time Watch/Merry Madness Edition Pt.3)
December 19, 2023 21:54 - 1 hour - 179 MBHappy Death Day, Freaky, Totally Killer... All these movies kind of ride the same wavelength as this one here. I'm hoping this is much better than the last one mentioned, especially considering it's got a holiday theme at it's fingertips. Enjoy, people.
Halo Season 2 Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
December 07, 2023 12:09 - 20 minutes - 36.8 MBJust cue the theme song... Enjoy, people.
Black Christmas 1974 Commentary (Merry Madness Edition Pt.2)
December 07, 2023 01:04 - 1 hour - 212 MBBefore Freddy, before Jason, before Michael... There was Billy here. And while even Freddy can make for some of the most morbid convo, Billy is a serious talker behind the telephone. He may not always show up on screen when I need him to, but he will most definitely give a call or two or three in his downtime. Enjoy, people.
Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
December 05, 2023 18:08 - 32 minutes - 58.7 MBNo long caption needed... Enjoy, people.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
December 05, 2023 12:16 - 26 minutes - 48.9 MBIf it's a full on action flick in a post apocalyptic setting, you can usually count me in... While I'm not too seasoned with the source material, it looks like they're kind of starting from scratch with this prequel. Enjoy, y'all.
Christmas With The Kranks Commentary (First Time Watch/Merry Madness Edition Pt.1)
December 05, 2023 01:00 - 1 hour - 203 MBWho said that the Halloween season is the only season that Jamie Lee Curtis is known for?... The only problem with her being apart of another crazed holiday is the fact that she seems equally terrified in some moments here. And Tim Allen doesn't help matters much with his comedic antics, so these two are in for a long few days. Enjoy, folks.
Night Swim Trailer 2 Reaction/Thoughts
November 30, 2023 14:46 - 23 minutes - 43.2 MBIf it plays on my fear of drowning or large bodies of water in general, then there's a possibility it can win me over in some ways... Blumhouse, don't fail me now. Enjoy, people.
Thanksgiving Spoiler Talk
November 29, 2023 17:59 - 1 hour - 137 MBYes, there will be leftovers... And it took much longer than expected. My apologies. Enjoy, folks.
The Book Of Clarence Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
November 28, 2023 18:37 - 30 minutes - 55.3 MBThere's a valid reason I almost chose not to do this... Allow me to explain, or try to explain the moment this kicks into gear. Enjoy, people.
Soul Food Commentary (Cornucopia Of Craze Edition Pt.8)
November 27, 2023 19:55 - 2 hours - 235 MBThis was always one that resonates on a different level... In a world full of black cinema classics, this is one that is somehow filled with drama yet brings so much warmth where need be. The balancing act here is one for the books. Enjoy, y'all.
The Oath Commentary (First Time Watch/Cornucopia Of Craze Edition Pt.7)
November 26, 2023 13:05 - 1 hour - 189 MBJust a disclaimer here... Please try to ignore how I start to ramble on and lose track of my initial thoughts by the time I'm done rating this one. For some reason, I think I talk more about consumerism and Black Friday more than I should. It's been a long month, but I'll probably take an oath my damn self to pull it together here. Minus the blood and the beatings these folks endured. Enjoy, folks.
Black Friday Commentary (First Time Watch/Cornucopia Of Craze Edition Pt.6)
November 26, 2023 01:12 - 1 hour - 174 MBBetter late than never, but this month has been more of a scramble than what these folks in this toy store have to deal with here... I'm still not sure whether these are zombies, mutants or what, but they are nasty and a bit hungry. Enjoy, people.
Good Burger 2 Commentary (First Time Watch/Cornucopia Of Craze Edition Pt.5)
November 23, 2023 18:43 - 1 hour - 182 MBThere's the side of me that sticks to my thoughts about this being a terrible and unnecessary sequel... Then the other side of me has that optimism that I may regret. All I'm saying is that Good Burger is back by a bit of an unpopular demand. Let's see if the food tastes as special as it did back in the 90s. Enjoy, folks.
My Thoughts On Melissa Barrera Being Fired From Scream 7
November 22, 2023 15:47 - 39 minutes - 72.1 MBWhat a mess... Enjoy, y'all.
Imaginary Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
November 17, 2023 13:37 - 28 minutes - 53 MBBlumhouse, man... Sometimes I wonder why they do these things. I really do. Enjoy, y'all.
Rebel Moon- Part One: A Child Of Fire Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
November 16, 2023 17:30 - 31 minutes - 57 MBSomebody get George Lucas on the horn and tell him that Zack Snyder would like to talk to him about joining "forces", pun intended... If this is Snyder's official Star Wars audition, then I'm here for it. I just hope the amazing looks of the film aren't the only saving grace, because that happens a lot with big sci-fi movies for me. Enjoy, folks.
Garfield 2024 Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
November 14, 2023 13:38 - 28 minutes - 51.3 MBThis caught me off guard yesterday, but I was just telling myself that I need to do more animated reactions and reviews... I guess the world's favorite feline heard me at some point, because here he is again. Enjoy, people.
Day Of The Dead 1985 Commentary (Cornucopia Of Craze Edition Pt.4)
November 13, 2023 23:07 - 1 hour - 217 MBThere may be a terrible remake, an even worse remake after that remake, a prequel that is an abomination to all zombie movies, and a cash grab SyFy series... But there can only be one Day, and it's still one of the darkest days ever on screen. This was zombie moments at their peak. Enjoy, y'all.
The Walking Dead S5 Ep.3 Commentary (Cornucopia Of Craze Edition Pt.3)
November 10, 2023 19:31 - 1 hour - 110 MBRevisiting this particular episode brought me back to the fact that the zombies were the least of Rick Grimes and his crew's worries... It's not the undead cannibals that just may wipe humans out. It's the live ones that share the same dietary plan. Enjoy, folks.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
November 09, 2023 12:21 - 32 minutes - 60.1 MBSo Afterlife was such a huge surprise for me when it came out and since it delivered more than expected, I wasn't sure why a follow up was even needed... Sometimes things can run dry and I'm learning now more than ever that you can quit while you're ahead. But to do a sequel to Afterlife is a ballsy move, so color me curious. Enjoy, people.
The Green Inferno Commentary (Cornucopia Of Craze Edition Pt.2)
November 08, 2023 23:43 - 1 hour - 211 MBThis was Eli Roth reminding folks... Reminding them that he's a force to he reckoned with in the horror genre, and that he can turn a rainforest into the most brutal and hellish adventure ever. Enjoy, y'all.
The Green Inferno Commentary
November 08, 2023 23:43 - 1 hour - 211 MBThis was Eli Roth reminding folks... Reminding them that he's a force to he reckoned with in the horror genre, and that he can turn a rainforest into the most brutal and hellish adventure ever. Enjoy, y'all.
Tales From The Crypt: What's Cookin' Commentary (Cornucopia Of Craze Edition Pt.1)
November 07, 2023 18:22 - 42 minutes - 77.5 MBWhile I'm still very unaware what to call the theme for this month's episodes, I can assure that it'll be consistent as far as comedy and cannibalism goes... So let's kick things off with a down on it's luck restaurant that gets lively once the menu is from folks who are no longer alive, literally. Enjoy, people.
Tales From The Crypt: What's Cookin' Commentary

So let's kick things off with a down on it's luck restaurant that gets lively once the menu is from folks who are no longer alive, literally. Enjoy, people.
Good Burger 2 Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
November 01, 2023 18:55 - 31 minutes - 58.5 MBIt's all in the episode... And I aired out a lot here. Enjoy, people.
Halloween III: Season Of The Witch Commentary (Spooky Season Edition Pt.13)
October 31, 2023 19:00 - 1 hour - 212 MBHappy Happy Halloween, Halloween, Halloween... Enjoy, folks.
Trick 'r Treat Commentary (Spooky Season Edition Pt.12)
October 30, 2023 20:11 - 1 hour - 179 MBTo put it simple and plain, this movie is a Halloween horror anthology classic... That is it, that is all. And also, let me add that Sam is one of the most interesting characters to ever grace an anthology. So kudos to him. Enjoy, y'all.
Five Nights At Freddy's IntoxiCommentary (First Time Watch/Spooky Season Edition Pt.11)
October 29, 2023 11:57 - 1 hour - 212 MBI had already seen Willy's Wonderland, so I felt no need whatsoever to even check this out... But we give the source material a chance around these parts, so I took a chance on these animatronics here. They should've been given an R-rating, but I understand the target audience. Enjoy, people.
Night Of The Demons 2 Commentary (Spooky Season Edition Pt.10)
October 26, 2023 19:56 - 1 hour - 203 MBBack to Hull House we go... Full of cobwebs, demonic infestation, and hallways for Angela and her new friends to creep around in. The first movie is a very tough act to follow, but this sequel I feel is very slept on as far as how entertaining it gets. Enjoy, people.
Graveyard Shift Commentary (Spooky Season Edition Pt.9)
October 25, 2023 19:27 - 1 hour - 185 MBStephen King adaptations had a hell of a run long before the remakes of IT, Firestarter, and Pet Sematary... Whether good or bad, there was no run like the 90s, and this is one that could've been one of the best for sure. While the nostalgia is heavy, the plot holes get wild but there's no denying my favorite (possibly the only) bat/rat on screen. Enjoy, folks.
Dawn Of The Dead 2004 Commentary (Spooky Season Edition Pt.8)
October 24, 2023 23:16 - 2 hours - 224 MBWho the hell just up and decides to remake one of the most classic zombie movies of all TIME?... The answer is the guy who would go on to become one of the industry's most visionary directors ever. Who also is one of the industry's most underappreciated creators overall, but folks will learn to appreciate his savvy soon enough. This does what a remake should, which is stand alone and do so while paying homage to the original. Tasteful and respectful undead carnage. Enjoy, y'all.
The Amityville Horror 2005 Commentary (Happy 47th Birthday Ryan Reynolds/Spooky Season Edition Pt.7)
October 23, 2023 20:37 - 1 hour - 184 MBSo to celebrate the birthday of the man who played Hannibal King, Deadpool, Green Lantern AND Deadpool again, I went back to one of his more serious roles... The horror the title implies is very much present, but I think this is one of those remakes I may like more than the original. The jury is still kind of out on that since I haven't seen the original in a while, but this was a good rewatch. A bit strobe light-like, but good nonetheless. Enjoy, folks.
Hocus Pocus Commentary (Spooky Season Edition Pt.6)
October 16, 2023 22:46 - 1 hour - 202 MBThere was a lot of hesitation with this one, and some are probably curious why... It started with me pretty much thinking I wasn't going to enjoy this since I was never that big on it. And it ended with me definitely remembering why this is hailed as a Halloween season classic. Enjoy, people.
Terrifier Commentary (Spooky Season Edition Pt. 5)
October 11, 2023 21:06 - 1 hour - 180 MBArt The Clown... That is all. Enjoy, folks.
Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark Commentary (Spooky Season Edition Pt.4)
October 09, 2023 22:52 - 2 hours - 221 MBIt slipped my mind that today is Guillermo del Toro's birthday, so this seems pretty appropriate... As a certified geek for these books, this was and dream come true to see come to life. Does the rating restrict it from some wild things tonally? Sure. But do they manage to create a great atmosphere overall and some memorable moments? Absolutely. Enjoy, people.
Pet Sematary: Bloodlines Commentary (First Time Watch/Spooky Season Edition Pt.3)
October 08, 2023 19:09 - 1 hour - 185 MBThere's no getting around what damn near everyone says about any of these movie outside of the original... "Sometimes Dead Is Better". I won't say whether that applies here overall or not, but I can say that they try to add context to Jud and the town of Ludlow. Enjoy, y'all.
The Fog 1980 Commentary (Spooky Season Edition Pt.2)
October 05, 2023 21:01 - 1 hour - 191 MBIn all honesty, I did more than my fair share of geeking out and praising this during the commentary... So no long caption needed. This movie deserves more love than it gets. Enjoy, people.
Thanksgiving Red Band Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
October 05, 2023 11:58 - 21 minutes - 39.9 MBThe way this trailer starts off is disturbing enough... That said, I'm very much looking forward to seeing Eli Roth establish himself as a holiday horror director. He deserves it. Enjoy, people.
Hell Night Commentary (Spooky Season Edition Pt.1)
October 03, 2023 00:31 - 1 hour - 206 MBNot many 80s slasher movies genuinely scared me back in the day, but this was always such a gem to me... From the backstory of the Garth family to the setting of Garth manor, there's so many pluses that fly here. There's also two monsters for the price of one, which complicates things for our victims in the mix. Enjoy, folks.
Lean On Me Commentary (Back To School Edition Pt.11)
September 29, 2023 22:22 - 2 hours - 226 MBRest In Peace to Joe "Crazy Joe" Clark, and I stand on when I said that today's kids and society overall could use the presence of someone so impactful... Obviously this movie is another classic but given the way things tend to go in today's school system, the relevance here is stronger than ever. Enjoy, people.
The Toxic Avenger 2023 Teaser Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
September 29, 2023 19:36 - 22 minutes - 41.2 MBIf there was ever a time in my life where I would fully invite toxicity into my podcast, it's right now... The fact that this actually happened and the fact that I've always low key wanted to see it play out, I was happy it came to life. R-rating and all, they've claimed to keep the spirit of the nasty and exploitation around, so that's a win. Whether it's good or not is still up in the air. Enjoy, people.
187 Commentary (Back To School Edition Pt.10)
September 27, 2023 21:33 - 2 hours - 231 MBEvery time I go back and revisit this one, I'm reminded of just how calmly terrifying Samuel L. Jackson can be on screen... In this movie, he's like the most modest, petty and easy going serial killer to ever touch a grade book. Enjoy, y'all.
Back To The Future Commentary (Back To School Edition Pt.9)
September 26, 2023 23:50 - 2 hours - 234 MBIt's traveling time!... There's no lengthy caption needed here. This film is nothing shy of historic. Enjoy, folks.
Teaching Mrs. Tingle Commentary (First Time Watch/Back To School Edition Pt.8)
September 25, 2023 23:41 - 1 hour - 193 MBI remember this being a pretty popular flick back in the day, but it's always gotten by me until now... And let me just say that Mrs. Tingle here has officially surpassed all of my teachers of terror I've encountered during my years of school. They ain't got nothing on her, and the dialogue that's given to her. Enjoy, people.
Sister Act 2: Back In The Habit Commentary (Back To School Edition Pt.7)
September 20, 2023 21:02 - 1 hour - 219 MBThis is easily as joyful as we're going to get with the theme this month, and I'm completely alright with that... I've said it before and I'll say it again, this movie is so amazingly epic that it's hard to even entertain the idea of a third film. The jury is still out on that, but my overall reactions are proof that this may be one of the best sing-a-long films ever. Enjoy, folks.
Urban Legend Commentary (Back To School Edition Pt.6)
September 18, 2023 23:01 - 1 hour - 203 MBHave y'all ever heard the one about the podcaster who was long overdue for his commentary for this underrated slasher?... It plays out pretty well actually, because there's a lot of praise to be had here since it seems Jamie Blanks still doesn't get his dues for this. It's almost a love letter to genre fans with some of it's casting and some moments. Enjoy, people.
The Roommate Commentary (First Time Watch/Back To School Edition Pt.5)
September 18, 2023 19:05 - 1 hour - 183 MBI'm not going to lie, this chick started off as one cool and interesting roommate... Very much into art, steers clear of clubs and bars, pretty much introverted, etc.... All was well until the whole murderous threat, stage five clinger, completely insane stuff came into the mix. That really derailed our chances to get along, but maybe she can share a strong bond with Sara here. Right? Enjoy, folks.
