Episode 138: Urban Legend

2024-03-1801:23:35

This week we jumped back to 1998 to cover one that most of us grew up on. There's a killer stalking Pendleton College killing students according to all kind of old Urban Legends. Natalie and her friends realize the pattern, but the killer seems to be targeting them. Can Natalie stay one step ahead of the killings to figure out who it is and why they're doing it? Plus we get to see all kinds of stars from other things looking much younger and more adorable.Follow us on Instagram @SlashU_PodcastCheck out the Facebook page tooEmail us at SlashUPodcast@gmail.comSupport the show by going to SlashUPodcast.com and buying stuff using the Amazon links.thanks to ZapSplat.com for our Sound FX Hosted on Acast.

In this episode we tackled a very high brow concept movie. A documentary! You all know the stories of Jason Vorhees, Freddy Krueger, and Michael Myers. In this movie, we follow the documentary filming a new slasher legend as he rises to greatness; Leslie Vernon. It's an extremely interesting take on the genre and even comes with a twist!Follow us on Instagram @SlashU_PodcastCheck out the Facebook page tooEmail us as SlashUPodcast@gmail.comVisit www.SlashUPodcast.com to support the showThanks to ZapSplat.com for our Sound FX Hosted on Acast.

We had to cover the sequel. Laid to Rest came out of left field as a surprise to us for how great it fit the SlashU formula. So of course we had to watch Part 2. The action picks right up where we left off at the end of Laid to Rest. Believe it or not Chromeskull is alive and he's got Brian Austin Green helping him out. What fun! This time he's out to tie up loose ends from the first movie while continuing his reign of terror, all in a stylish, shiny chrome mask.Follow us on Instagram @SlashU_PodcastCheck out SlashUPodcast.com for moreGive us a follow on the Facebook page tooThanks to ZapSplat.com for our Sound FX Hosted on Acast.

Episode 135: Sightseers

Episode 135: Sightseers

2024-02-1201:14:06

We had to try and find a movie that would fit nicely with Valentine's Day happening this week. We went with Sightseers from 2012. It's the story of Chris and Tina who are in love and out on a road trip in their camper around the countryside of jolly old England. But Chris has a bit of a dark side. He doesn't take kindly to disrespect. And when a man who litters finds himself in Chris' crosshairs, it turns out Tina is probably ok with killing too. Who knows where this dysfunctional relationship could go? We do. Because we watched the movie. Twice.Follow us on Instagram @SlashU_PodcastCheck out the Facebook page tooGo to SlashUPodcast.com to support the showThanks to ZapSplat.com for our Sound FX Hosted on Acast.

Episode 134: Laid to Rest

Episode 134: Laid to Rest

2024-02-0501:28:18

It's the premier up Season 8 here at SlashU and we dive right in with a great one. From 2009, we go over "Laid to Rest." It's the story of the mysterious "The Girl" who wakes up in a casket with no memory of who she is or how she got there. She has to quickly get up and get moving because she's being stalked by a determined killer wearing a chrome skull mask on his face. This one is packed with some gruesome practical effects and we loved it.

Well we went all the way back to 1979 to end Season 7 of SlashU. What better way to welcome in 2024 than a guy running around killing people with a drill? The story centers around starving artist Reno while he tries to finish his masterpiece painting but also slowly loses his grip on reality (but not his grip on that drill).Follow us on Instagram @SlashU_PodcastCheck out the Facebook page tooSuppoort the show by going to SlashUpodcast.comemail us as SlashUPodcast@gmail.comThanks to ZapSplat.com for our Sound FX Hosted on Acast.

It's Christmas! The holiday season is all about tradition. And one solid tradition we're sticking to here at SlashU is making sure we watch a Silent Night, Deadly Night movie each year at Christmas time. We've made it all the way to Part 4: Initiation. This one completely abandons Billy and Ricky Caldwell and the killer Santa storyline we've "enjoyed" for the last 3 movies in the series. Instead we follow the story of Kim Levitt, a precocious magazine reporter out to solve a spontaneous combustion story. She ends up tangled up with a coven of witches bent on resurrecting a dead member of their scary club, or something. Plus there are a bunch of cockroaches. And Clint Howard is in it.Follow us on Instagram @SlashU_PodcastCheck out the Facebook page too.Visit www.SlashUPodcast.com to support the showemail us at SlashUPodcast@gmail.comThanks to ZapSplat.com for our Sound FX Hosted on Acast.

We continue the most wonderful time of the year, SlashU-letide with Bikini Bloodbath Christmas. It's the 3rd movie in the Bikini Bloodbath Trilogy. Amazing that someone had the budget for 3 of these movies but they did. Also amazing is that this 72 minute boob-fest needed two directors. Thin on plot but thicc everywhere else, this was an example of why we watch these for you here at SlashU.Follow us on Instagram @SlashU_PodcastCheck out the Facebook page too.Email us at SlashUpodcast@gmail.comVisit www.slashUpodcast.com to support the show.Thanks to ZapSplat.com for our Sound FX Hosted on Acast.

There are so many movies named "Silent Night." Don't get lost this holiday season. Instead listen to SlashU where we covered Silent Night from 2012.

This week we watched a really weird one. Have you ever wondered what else goes on in the house when someone's filming one of those close-up fire places that play on a loop at people's holiday parties? Well we wondered. And Adult Swim Yule Log delivers an answer. Complete with killers, ghosts and aliens, this one is not a disappointment.Follow us on Instagram @SlashU_Podcastcheck out the Facebook page tooEmail us at SlashUPodcast@gmail.comVisit www.SlashUPodcast.com to support the show.Thanks to ZapSplat.com for our Sound FX Hosted on Acast.

It's our freshest episode of SlashU ever! Even if it's posted a few days late, we still wanted to get out a Thanksgiving episode. This one is so fresh it's still in theaters (at the time of recording). We covered Thanksgiving from 2023. It's a brand new slasher flick by Eli Roth. Adapted from a mock movie trailer that showed up in 2007's Grindhouse, this one centers around the small town of Plymouth, MA the birthplace of Thanksgiving. A killer dressed as John Carver is out for revenge after the tragic events of last year's Black Friday shopping mob. Take a seat around the table and listen.Follow us on Instagram @SlashU_Podcastcheck out the Facebook page tooVisit SlashUpodcast.com for all our moviesEmail us as SlashUpodcast@gmail.comThanks to ZapSplat.com for our sound FX Hosted on Acast.

Episode 127: Bloody Moon

Episode 127: Bloody Moon

2023-11-2001:16:39

This week we stuck to the 1980s but covered one made in Spain. That's right, it's time for SlashU hilarious accents! We watched Bloody Moon. It's the story of a killer stalking women at a Spanish Language Boarding School. Once again, like so many other movies, the killer isn't who they try to get you to think it is; and it's kind of easy to guess. But that doesn't stop the fun! Join us for one where we live, laugh, love so much.Follow us on Instagram @SlashU_PodcastCheck out the Facebook page too.Visit SlashuPodcast.com for all our movies (updates coming)Email us at SlashUPodcast@gmail.comThanks to ZapSplat.com for our Sound FX Hosted on Acast.

Episode 126: Night School

2023-11-1301:05:58

This week we jumped back to the 80s, all the way to 1981 because this timer period in the Slasher movie genre is one of the best! We attended Night School (not the one starring Tiffany Haddish). It's the story of an all-women's school in Boston where they just can't seem to stop having beheadings. Yet somehow, classes continue, they don't shut down the school for an investigation or anything despite multiple murders occurring where the women attended the same class.Anyway, check it out!Follow us on Instagram @SlashU_Podcastcheck out the Facebook page tooEmails us at SlashUPodcast@gmail.comCheck out SlashUPodcast.com for all our movies.Thanks to ZapSplat.com for our Sound FX Hosted on Acast.

We had to just follow up last week's episode by covering that movie's sequel. Welcome to Hayride 2! The story picks up immediately after the events of Hayride. Steven, Amanda, and Corey try to catch their breath after the horrific events of last night's Halloween Hayride massacre. But old Pitchfork the crazy killer isn't gone. He's hot on their trail, and out for revenge. We'll discuss it all today.Follow us on Instagram @SlashU_PodcastCheck out the Facebook page too.Email us at SlashUPodcast@gmail.comAnd take a look at the website SlashUPodcast.com to support the show.Thanks to ZapSplat.com for our sound FX--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/slashu/support Hosted on Acast.

Episode 124; Hayride

2023-10-3001:10:35

It's the SlashU Halloween episode! We grabbed a low-key low budget one from 2012 called Hayride. It's the classic story of a boy bringing his best girl home to meet his family over the Halloween Holiday. They volunteer to help his Uncle run the local small-town Hayride attraction. But there's a killer on the loose and maybe not all the spooky stuff at the Hayride is part of the show.Follow us on Instagram @SlashU_PodcastCheck out the Facebook page tooBrowse SlashUPodcast.com for moreEmail us at SlashUPodcast@gmail.comThanks to ZapSplat.com for our Sound FX--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/slashu/support Hosted on Acast.

Episode 123: Totally Killer

2023-10-2301:16:18

It's our freshest movie yet! We decided to tackle one that just came out in 2023. It's Totally Killer! It's got the special effects of modern movies mixed with classic 80s slasher vibes all wrapped up with Time Travel. Join us to see if Jamie Hughes can go back in time to stop a killer that stalked her mom and mom's friends in high school.Follow us on Instagram @SlashU_Podcastcheck out www.SlashUPodcast.comEmail us at SlashUPodcast@gmail.comThanks to ZapSplat.com for our Sound FX--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/slashu/support Hosted on Acast.

What if all your favorite slasher/horror movie tropes and villains were actually all part of a big corporate business structure? What if all the killers had certain monthly quotas they had to fill, and rules they had to follow? That's what this week's movie tries to explore, but kind of falls flat in the process. We'll talk all about Hackley, a serial killer who's tired of the everyday office grind and just wants to get back to his axe-swinging roots. Join us as we discuss something that could have been very funny if only they made better jokes.Follow us on Instagram @SlashU_Podcastcheck out SlashUPodcast.comEmail us at SlashUPodcast@gmail.com and say hello.Thanks to ZapSplat.com for our sound FX--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/slashu/support Hosted on Acast.

Episode 121: Maniac (2012)

Well we covered the original, why not do the remake, right? This week we covered Maniac from 2012 starring Elijah Wood and his dreamy blue eyes.You don't have to watch the original to enjoy the remake, even though we do some compare/contrast in this episode. This one is enjoyable in its own ways.Follow us on Instagram @SlashU_PodacastCheck out the Facebook page tooSupport the show at SlashUPodcast.comEmail us at SlashUPodcast@gmail.comThanks to ZapSplat.com for our Sound FX--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/slashu/support Hosted on Acast.

Episode 120: Aquaslash

2023-10-0201:15:25

At long last, we're back. Just had to take a quick couple weeks off because life happens. But we're back better than ever with a 71 minute movie to go over. It's Aquaslash from 2019. This one has everything that SlashU loves in a cheesy, campy slasher. But it's a slow burn movie with most of the kills all happening at once near the end. Take a listen as we "dive" back into the mix.Follow us on Instagram @SlashU_Podcastcheck out the Facebook page tooVisit www.SlashUPodcast.com to support the showThanks to ZapSplat.com for our Sound FX--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/slashu/support Hosted on Acast.
