DEADGIRL (2008)
On this episode, I dig into one of the most uncomfortable horror movies of the 2000s with Deadgirl — a bleak mix of zombie horror, obsession, isolation, and moral collapse set against the backdrop of awkward high school outcasts and an abandoned mental hospital.Trailer Park reactions to Chum and Evil Dead Burn, and RIP shoutouts to Jonathan Tiersten from Sleepaway Camp and Beau Starr from Halloween 4 and Goodfellas.

57
JASON X (2001)
Me and Jim stay in space as discuss well aged scifi-horror slasher flick Jason X. Ki ki ki ma ma ma. Trailer park features Hokum, Killer Whale, and Hive.

LEPRECHAUN 4: IN SPACE (1997)
Happy St Paddy's Day!Me and Jim head to space with Leprechaun 4: In Space. We break down the blatant alien ripoffs, the bizarre bloodless kills, and all the rest of the direct to video insanity. From Mittenspider to a giant Leprechaun, this movie is as dumb as it is entertaining.Trailer Park: Faces Of Death (2026)Scary Movie 6In A Violent Nature 2

SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT 5: THE TOY MAKER (1991)
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone! Hopefully no one gets an android that dry humps you because it wants you to be his mother. That would be awkward.
-
54
THANKSGIVING (2023)
Happy belated turkey day! Listen to me recount and review Eli Roth's holiday horror slasher Thanksgiving. Not as good as the Hostel films but still a fun time! Trailer Park: Housemaid and Primate

FRIDAY THE 13TH (2009)
Happy Halloween week! I’m diving into the underrated — yet still flawed — Friday the 13th remake. I also rant about Walmart’s ridiculous plan to destroy the Monroeville Mall (Dawn of the Dead), talk a bit about the Return to Silent Hill update, and check out the trailer for the upcoming Silent Night, Deadly Night remake. Enjoy!Intro music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio

-
51
RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD (1985) (SORTA-PART 1)
Part 1 is packed. Tutor is back and we discuss the George A. Romero "Of The Dead" films (always a hot topic amongst the 2 of us), cover some horror news, and in "Trailer Park" we watch the upcoming Mortal Kombat 2 movie trailer and Hellraiser: Revival video game. We also share our thoughts on Jurassic World: Rebirth. Enjoy and stick around for Part 2 where we go all in on Return of the Living Dead.

JAWS (1975)
In this special 4th of July episode, we celebrate 50 years of Jaws! I’m joined by my friends Ross and Kait—die hard Jaws fans—who sat down with me for a full scene-by-scene breakdown before heading to Martha’s Vineyard for the film’s 50th anniversary celebration. We dive into behind-the-scenes trivia, character dynamics, and why this movie still defines summer (and shark-related trauma) decades later.Plus, I run through the latest in horror news — including Terrifier 4 and the upcoming Sleepaway Camp II & III 4K releases. And in this week’s Trailer Park segment, I react to the new trailers for The Toxic Avenger (2025) and The Black Phone 2 — both look wild in very different ways.
-
49
THE BURNING (1981)
This episode I break down The Burning-the summer camp slasher with the sharpest garden shears in cinema. I talk raft massacres, pervy weirdos who somehow survive, and why Cropsey has beef with everyone except the ones who actually burned him. Plus: a killer whale movie is on the way, a new Event Horizon prequel comic, and some trailers that might actually be good.
-
48
CRITTERS 2: THE MAIN COURSE (1988)
I'm putting a new episode in everyone's Easter basket with the goofy Easter horror Critters 2! Nestled right next to a March 1979 issue of Playboy, this episode covers killer furballs, bounty hunters, and small town chaos. Quick heads up-during the "Trailer Park" segment, the first two trailers are a bit loud, so be sure to turn the volume down a notch. Lesson learned for next time.
-
47
CRITTERS (1986)
Where do they come up with this stuff?! Kicking off the new format with the creature feature Critters. Along with discussing the movie, I'll be covering a few pieces of horror news, watching some trailers in Trailer Park, crowning the scream queen of the episode, giving my review (rated in useless bounty hunters), and suggesting the perfect movie pairing. Get ready for a fresh take on horror talk. Lets kill Crites.Intro music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio

SANTAS SLAY (2005)
Jim and I sit by the burning yule log, feast on Christmas cookies, and discuss the movie Santa's Slay, as well as talk about pro wrestling from time to time—and what a movie it is! It's actually not as bad as a lot of 'shitty' movies.
-
44
TROLL 2 (1990)
My good friend Ryan and I sit down while sipping on some Sour Monkeys and discuss the critically acclaimed film Troll 2. This movie's greatness might surpass other world-renowned films such as The Godfather I and II and Citizen Kane.
-
43
FREDDY VS JASON (2003)
Happy Halloween! Jim and I sit down to discuss the plot hole filled classic Freddy vs Jason. Why does it seem like Crystal Lake is only one town away from Springwood?
-
42
Signs (2002)
Listen to me and Britt discuss M Night Shyamalons Signs from the summer of 2002. We dive into plotholes, how the movie is oddly charming despite its rough edges, and why it holds that nostalgic appeal for millennials like us. Grab your tinfoil hats and give it a listen!

Welcome to a special mini episode of my “Aquatic Creatures That Will Kill You” series. Today, I am presenting a double feature: Black Water (2007), a thrilling and intense survival story, and Tentacles (1977), which didn’t quite deliver the same impact (quite the understatement). Let’s dive in (pun?) and compare these two aquatic horrors!

Happy 4th of July, everyone! Today, I won’t be presenting the almighty, one-and-only Jaws, but rather its inferior sequel. Join me as I go through the movie and explain how it doesn’t quite measure up to the OG, yet still has some decent and chilling scenes.

Valentine (2001)

X (when shooting a porno goes wrong)
*warning light spoilers* I saw X today 4/3/22 and thought I would share my thoughts. I went in so blind I wouldn’t have ever guessed it was about a geriatric killer. And no she’s not like Leatherface or Michael Myers.
