Bloodbath and Beyond

The boys are back, and this time they're covering the much ballyhooed horror smash of the year. Is "It" as good as they say? Also, a bonus review for The Guest and Casey shares his thoughts on the Scream TV series.

After going through so much mediocrity in slasher sequels, the boys get to talk about one of their favorites from the glorious 1970's. 

Here it is boys and girls, the grand finale to the epic retrospective of cannibals and gardening tools. 

Who will survive and what will become of this series' credibility?

The boys hash over the history and the brand spankin' new movie about the heroic team you never knew.

Burt crushes on Stretch the DJ, and Casey just wants a movie more worthy of the name.

Part 1 of the four-movie retrospective. Does this one live up to the hype?

In this spectacular 25th episode, the boys talk up a pair of actioners. One just might be the most violent film ever made.

In 1981, genre cinema was hitting an all-time high...For 33 years, it has garnered a cult fanbase any genre film would be proud to have.It gets reviewed by two nerds in 2014...NOW

The fellas go on about one of their favorite actioners out of Hong Kong.

You knew it was coming. It was only a matter of time.... Another one of your favorites has been remade, but is this one worth your time?

This week we mow 'em down.

We kick off the RoboCop retrospective, and it's as good as it gets!

Back in the deep, dark 1990s came a rip-snorting vampire action film. It was full of gore and nudity, and it had a sick sense of humor. We wouldn't have it any other way!

Back from our extended podcasting break, we're proud to bring to the masses our take on one of the crowning achievements in 80's cheese. Face punches galore!

Casey and I count down our personal picks for the best horror the past 14 years had to offer.

It's been an interesting fourteen years. Action packed as they were we're here to count down our personal favorites from 2000 to the year 2013.

Sick of the typical Christmas season movies? Finland has produced something to cure what ails ya. We also get into the finer points of European Yuletide creatures along with what we enjoy watching around this time of year. Merry Christmas!

A humorous take on Norwegian myths meet the trendy movie style of found footage!

Tomahawks to face-splitting action is set against the French and Indian War and romance. We discuss the style of Michael Mann, the writing of Cooper, and Native American portrayals. 

From the bowels of 80s horror comes a movie so unremarkable we have to tell you all about it.

Pure, distilled, campy fun. We have a theme song now, too!

Our heroes are back to dispense cinematic justice. Is the movie guilty for being indulgent? There will be surprise witnesses, each one more surprising than the last. Is there enough to admire to at least guarantee leniency? Listen and find out! 

To finish off October, we're talkin' all about that spooky classic.

As required by action podcast law, we talk all about the new Arnold and Sly picture, Escape Plan!

Rise and shine, dead heads. It's time for our Re-Animator episode. We delve into one of the best Lovecraft movie adaptations from the fine low budget horror wizards Stuart Gordon and Brian Yuzna. Top notch gore effects, a snappy script, and a dynamic cast keep this movie feeling as fresh as a recently deceased Dr. Hill. Burt conquered the twelve minute barrier and actually edited an episode for under an hour. Huzzah!

It's the most wonderful time of the year. 'Tis the season for changing leaves, pumpkin ale, and HORROR movies. In the realm of 1980s horror remakes, there was The Thing, The Fly, and here in 1988 we have the (at the time) state of the art gruesome shocker, The Blob. This movie is more sinister, more hard core, and more fun than the original! Although clearly contextualized by 1980s cold war cynicism, excellent blob effects and some intense scares enhance a solid script for a fun night of terror. Here we talk about how The Blob is a truly terrifying monster, and how it finely represents cosmic horror and H.P. Lovecraft. A few words are given about the new Godzilla teaser, and the monster fanboy Treehouse of Horror opening as directed by Guillermo Del Toro.

Casey and Burt are back to deliver kung fu vengeance with their fists. It's one of the greatest kung fu pictures ever, Fist of Legend, and the guys are more than happy to tell you why.

When I was seventeen, it was a very good year. It was a very good year for small town flicks and soft summer schlock.

Demons! Movie theater!

OBEY.

Smashing first episode!
