🔪 Halloween 25/8/366 Part 2 - Week 3 😱
Join our DFM crew as we delve into Damien Leone's first full length Art the Clown flick - a film that Jake & AJ don't particularly care for. Well, at least your hosts Carrie & Case acknowledge its status as a quintessential low-budget, mean-spirited & gleefully fun grindhouse slasher (if that’s your thing!) In this ep’s Creataburs segment, Carrie & Case explore the female characters across Leone's work not named Sienna Shaw, tracing their roles from his early short films to his anthology.

🏫 Welcome to Week 1 of Our Back to School Special! 📏 Power on your iMacs, ditch the pagers & join the DFM quartet as we wind back the clock ever so slightly to Robert Rodriguez’s quintessential 90s flick - where high school students face off against thirsty alien-infected teachers in a wildly fun (our 2¢) blend of sci-fi & horror.

🌊 🏖️ 🛥️Welcome to Week 4 of Beach Party Bonfires & Blood Month II 🦈⚓🩸!!
Book a flight & join us! We’re relaxing on this quiet Georgia island and digging up J.S. Cardone's 1982 seaside slasher that features light touches of Lovecraft. We enjoy the simple story telling & the atmosphere (Major shout out to Director of Photography Karen Grossman!). Jake & AJ? Yeah - not so much. No matter! This episode is all about spreading the horror gospel on lesser-known horror flicks.

[Spoiler chat starts at 14:25] Put down those back alley creeps & tune in ‘cuz we’ve got the entire DFM quartet on for this special bonus episode. We’ll discuss the neon-lit Hollywood underbelly-deets that is the final chapter of the Ti-West/Mia Goth X-trilogy. We all find 1985 to be well represented and agree on the greatness of some of the deaths, but do we agree on Ms. Minx’s character arc, the strength of the supporting characters and the way the trilogy ended? Plenty of Jake the Midnight Traveler and Annjanette aka Sinister Sister thoughts this go-round.
-
[Spoiler discussion begins at 18:40] Whether you’ve watched Longlegs or not (and whether you enjoyed it or not), there’s a little something for every take during this bonus ep. We think Nicolas Cage, Maika Monroe, Alicia Witt, Kiernan Shipka, & Blair Underwood all bring excellent performances to this 90s detective horror-period piece. There’s some unique elements to this flick not found in movies it has been compared to. We round out the ep discussing what movies we’d pair with Longlegs.
