Season 6 is in the books folks! As we close out the season we’re revisiting some of our favorite (and least favorite) horror films released in 2024 so far, as well as anticipating what is up next before we take our hiatus. Joining us this week is Danny Gutierrez from Turning Tables Podcast and Hops and Notes!
We talk about our hiatus this year and what that means for Season 7 at the end of the episode! Thank you Danny for closing out the season with us!
See you for episode 269 (nice) in September! -
Season finale month continues with a LETHAL sequel that exchanges the literal jungle with a concrete version, along with a very absurd plot. That's right, we're talking PREDATOR 2 starring Danny Glover and Gary Busey.
Is this a guilty pleasure, relic of filmmaking's past, or absurd monsterfest? How about all three? Find out our opinion as we breakdown this 90s special effects driven madhouse. Enjoy! -

Yo that jacket is tight son! SO IS THIS EPISODE! We got full nostalgia bomb (and Webster's appreciation bomb) for our SEASON FINALE MONTH on SCARY MOVIE 2. Join us in the most quotable episode, filled with a play-by-play for the ages. 2 more eps to go, and SEASON 7 comes very, very soon. Enjoy our Anna Faris appreciation, along with the Wayans dynasty's ultimate accomplishment!

In our latest anatomy of an adaptation, we hilariously breakdown the THREE versions of OLDBOY, from the iconic 2003 Korean adaptation, its manga source material, and the American remake. We are only kind to one of these adaptations, but let's see how different they are?
We turn our play-by-play format on its head by cover three distinct versions of one story at the same time (weird, but it works), remake iconic American films BADLY (in honor of the 2013 version of the story), and dive deep into the darkest aspects of Korean cinema. It's a good one for a classic story! -
It's the wonder of nature, baby! We're back with another Alix Webster birthday pick with this 90's disaster classic: TWISTER. Strap in, watch out for flying cows, and follow emotional storm chasers Alix, Anthony and Phill as they revisit this 90's classic. On this episode, we go through plot breakdowns, recite our favorite one-liners and compare Twister to other 90's disaster flicks. Thanks for tuning in!

The gang's all back together this week as guest James Brizuela (Turning Tables Podcast, NPC Gaming Podcast) joins to discuss one of his personal favorites. We're covering Daybreakers from 2009. Somehow yes, 9/11 goes get shoed in and there's very impassioned talk about vampires across all media. We celebrate Alix's birthday mandate with a laid back relaxed episode with a simple plot breakdown, some funny reviews from our friends at Letterboxd, and a vampire tier list -- the results will not surprise you. Thanks for listening!

Danny Gutierrez from Hops & Notes and Turning Tables Podcast joins Alix this week as they discuss the recent horror film sensation, When Evil Lurks (2023) This Shudder exclusive gives us A LOT so we unpack so we coveras much as we can but we just don't know where to start. Alix spills a seltzer water and we discuss the most shocking moments from the film. Mostly spoiler free for the first 30 minutes or so! Thanks for listening!

We kick off MONSTER MAY with one of our most hilarious play-by-plays, a stacked A-list cast for a pure B-movie, and a snake tier list you won't want to miss (seriously, it's absurd) as we cover the 1997 cult classic ANACONDA.
Bad impressions are in abundance as we try to decipher Jon Voight's Paraguayan accent, Ice Cube's shameless music plugs, and do our best to not fawn over J-Lo (it doesn't work).
Seriously, this one is hilarious. CHECK IT OUT! -
What has WWE, Ninja Turtles, Breaking 2, and Mark Wahlberg references through a running time of just over an hour? Not this movie, but definitely this episode! This week Phill and Anthony take over and cover another sequel that set up a franchise for success: SAW 2!
We do a detailed plot breakdown, talk about some gnarly production details, and get nostalgic for 2005! Play a game with us in this week's episode! -
Our bi-annual tradition continues as and gets closer to is conclusion than ever... with a movie we got A LOT to say about. Myers' penultimate tale is here with David Gordon Green's HALLOWEEN KILLS!
We go through a very thorough play-by-play, discuss certain world-changing events that changed this movie's release, and provide our OWN version of the Myers/Strode showdown in the context of Wrestlemania 40... it makes sense, trust us! -
There are a lot of movies out this year so far, and we got takes! We're hard at work on our next big episode, but while you wait how about our thoughts on some of the more recent horror/sci-fi entries in cinemas right now? Not enough? Okay, what about what we're looking forward to? There ya go!
Our thoughts on:
Civil War
Last Night with the Devil
Stop Motion
Dune 2
Monkey Man
And some others we'll be seeing later this year! Enjoy! -
Alix has a story to finish so she's absent this week as Phill and Anthony tackle the dimly lit found footage sequel, Paranormal Activity 2. Was this the whitest found footage film ever made? Most likely. Phill and Anthony weren't the biggest fans, but you know what they are fans of? Quoting literally any other movie instead of talking about this one. It's short but fun, check it out!
-
Birthday month concludes with a look at one of Anthony's favorite creators and his most influential creation. Sci-Fi mixes with social commentary and completely changes the game in Rod Serling's THE TWILIGHT ZONE!
We cover the journey of Rod Serling and break down three fundamental episodes for this iconic series: Living Doll, The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street, and Dust! Liste, rate, and enjoy! -
We're traveling back to another nostalgia pick this month for Anthony's birthday month and it's MEN IN BLACK (1997). Anthony might be sick in this one but he's not too sick to enjoy one of the classics of the late 90s paired with a killer original song. It goes without saying but this movie is special to all three of us, listen to us praise this classic summer blockbuster!
**flashes nuralyzer** you want to give us a 5 star rating on itune and/or Spotify... oh and get an interior decorator in here quick cause... damn. -
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANTHONY! And as we continue with the birthday boy's picks for the month, we sharpen our Hattori Hanzo swords and step into the world of Kill Bill Volumes 1 & 2! Enjoy this 2 hour episode as Anthony, Alix and Phill reminisce this Quentin Tarantino classic from 2003 and 2004.
From the cast, the story, the influences and the music, we slice our way through this epic revenge tale starring Uma Thurman and an insane cast of killers! And while you're tuning in, perform the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique with a positive review! -
The first bday pick of Anthony's birth month mandate concludes with our darkest wrestling episode yet, seeing three influential wrestlers reach the top of the mountain and the darkest depths. Part two of our Defectors of WCW series is out and we're running through the Undisputed highs with Jericho, Eddie's redemption before the end, and the tragic deterioration of Benoit. It's a big one, we swear more fun stuff next week!
Enjoy! -
We're back with a deep dive into the dark world of sports entertainment! This week we're offering a two-part series on a trio of wrestlers who helped define the industry and the dark paths that followed.
We're taking a look at the true rebels of the industry: Chris Jericho, Eddie Guerrero, and Chris Benoit: The Defectors of WCW. This one is going to get DARK considering the lives of some of our subjects, so listener discretion is advised but if you're game, get ready for a ride through the highs and lows of wrestling's biggest era, and the stars that helped shape it. Enjoy! -
Trash month comes to a close, but it will live on forever in our hearts. We are covering Killer Piñata from 2015 this week and really... what is there to say that hasn't already been said about vaguely racist stereotypes and dramatic exposition in the form of a flash animation? Check it out! And special thanks again to James Brizuela for doing the programming this month!

Trash month continues full steam ahead with this public domain spectacular! Steamboat Willie, who!? Back in 2022 a very different figure entered the public domain and his name was WINNIE THE POOH (or plooh if you're Alix). The brits decided what better way to celebrate The 100 Acre Wood entering public domain than making possibly the worst rated film we've ever covered?! Plus, a game for this year's Trash Month Trivia Champion!
Hope ya'll like bits, because this episode is chock full of one liners to make you laugh to yourself wherever you listen! Check it out! Share with a friend! -
Welcome to EPISODE 250!!! And it lands in the middle of Trash Month! What better way to celebrate 250 episodes than to embark on a galactic crusade with PG: Psycho Goreman! So grab your latest issue of Hunky Boys Magazine and strap in as Alix, Anthony, Phill and James visit this bizarre sci-fi, horror, comedy featuring some brat little girl and a megalomaniacal alien warrior.
Thanks for tuning in to 250 of these things and here's to 250 more! We'd love you even more if you'd rate and leave a positive review wherever you listen to this podcast. And if you don't....you will be visited by The Arch-Duke of Nightmares. - Show more
