-
Crackcoon
Just when you thought we were gone forever, we have returned! Kinda like every slasher villian ever. Or herpes. The point is you can't get rid of us that easily. Anyways, sorry for the long absence. It's hard for Andrew to edit episodes while having a mental breakdown. But we finally got him out…

Smile 2
Normally this is where I'd make some dick and fart jokes about the episode but the technical difficulties gremlin got us again, hence the long absence. Our microphone decided to be evil and the sound quality of this episode was really loud, buzzy, and bad. I've done my best to fix it but can only...
-
Speak No Evil
We're back! Today's movie is possibly the weirdest origin story for Professor X we've ever seen. Or at least thats what Andrew thinks due to a combination of head injuries and ADD. He thinks all James Macavoy movies are prequels to X Men. Anyways... Today we speak a whole lot about Speak No Evil.

Freaky

The Dark and the Wicked
Another episode already? Yup. What did you do to deserve this? Oh, you know full well what you did. And we're not mad, just disappointed. As punishment you have to listen to us talk about today's movie The Dark and the Wicked. Maybe next time you'll think twice. SMH.

The Blackening
Well, here it is folks. The episode that will undoubtedly get us canceled. Or at least it would if more people actually listened to us. Languishing in obscurity for the win! Anyway, today we talk about The Blackening.
-
Housebound
It's been a while (beenawhiiile), but we're back! Sorry, we were on house arrest. But in our defense, the sign specified shirt and shoes were required. It said nothing about pants! Anyhoo... coincidentally enough today's movie is about the horrors of house arrest. Housebound!
-
Gravy
We're finally back! Ever wonder what it would be like if the dude from Psych wrote and directed a movie that was a combination of Waiting, The Strangers, and a bit of Texas Chainsaw 2? Yeah, me either. But thats what we got with today's movie, Gravy!
-
Hell Trip
We're going a little trip today, peoples! A Hell Trip as a matter of fact. All the way to Africa for this one. Im not sure, but Africa may be owed an apology after this flick. Stay tuned after the show if you've ever been curious about what kind of auditory jackassery usually gets cut from the…

-
Cooties
We're back and we got Cooties! No, not the kind you get from spring break in Tijuana. The movie about zombie grade schoolers written by a team up of the guy who wrote Saw and one of the writers from Glee. Yes really. It's our most kid killingest movie yet!
-
Scare Me
We're back peoples! Today's movie is what happens when an anthology movie and an improv class get a little too frisky and forget to use a rubber. Today we talk about the Shudder original, Sacre Me.
-
Natty Knocks
We're back and today we talk about a movie that is definitely a film we watched. Yup. It sure was. We watched the ridiculously titled Natty Knocks aka Bill Moseley needed a paycheck. In the movie "lore" Natty may knock only nine times but we certainly knock this movie way more than that.

-
Llamageddon
Hoo boy peoples. This one is a doozy. I know some of you may watch this movie because of this episode, and I sincerely apologize. What can I even say here about Llamageddon without the benefit of poop emojis and a dumpster fire gif? But we did have some fun tearing this movie apart, much like my...

-
Dead Snow
We're back and in the words of Staind "Its been a while". Today we talk about a movie where some people find some cursed gold and have to fend off the undead horde that is out to reclaim it. No, not the Johnny Depp pirate movie. This one has nazi zombies, not ghost pirates. And it's Norwegian.…
more -
Choose or Die
Hey peoples! Today we talk about that movie where an evil video game alters reality in horrible ways for the person playing it. No, not Brainsacan. Or Stay Alive. Or that crappy Hellraiser sequel. Or... wow, they've really run this trope into the ground haven't they? No, today's movie is…
more -
Barbarian
We're back peoples! Episodes may be sporadic as we head into summer and new work schedules, but rest assured, we will continue to semi regularly put out the content you all have come to know and tolerate indifferently. Anyway, today we talk about Barbarian (SPOILERS). Which, despite what you may...

-
Lullaby
Hey peoples! It's time to tuck you in for the night, and Dead Is Better will sing you a lullaby. Well, maybe not so much sing you a lullaby. More like rip on a movie called Lullaby. But that's close enough, right? I thought so.

Demons
We're back, peoples! I know this episode is a bit late, but you know what they say: better late than pregnant. Anyways, today's special is a large Italian 80s splatter fest with extra cheese. We're talking about the 1985 Lamberto Bava film, Demons! It doesn't get much more 80s than this one!
