Xtra Butta

This week on Xtra Butta, Cam & Dylan throw on their skin masks (metaphorically… we hope) and head deep into the grimy, bone-filled backroads of horror history with the OG slasher: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974). We're talkin' about Leatherface before he was an icon, a dinner scene straight out of your worst fever dream, and the real MVP Sally's lungs (those screams could shatter windows). From meat hooks to malfunctioning chainsaws, this low-budget nightmare changed the horror game forever all with almost zero blood. Yeah, you thought you saw gore... but Tobe Hooper fooled ya. Along the way, we cover: The world's worst hitchhiker experience BBQ that might be... people? Leatherface's interpretive chainsaw dance Franklin being a full-time vibe killer Why this movie smells bad through the screen So grab your nearest meat hook, turn up the fan (you'll feel sweaty just listening), and join us for a breakdown of this gritty horror classic.

This week, Cam & Dylan dive into The Innocents (1961) — the gothic ghost story that proves kids are always the scariest part of any horror movie. Directed by Jack Clayton and based on Henry James's novella The Turn of the Screw, this black-and-white creepfest is so atmospheric it'll make you check your windows for Victorian orphans. We'll talk about Deborah Kerr playing a governess who really should've swiped left on this job, how the film's use of shadows and silence still feels scarier than half the jump-scare factory movies today, and why this was considered “too intense” for 1961 audiences (spoiler: it still holds up). As always, expect Cam & Dylan to lace in jokes, 90s kid references, and probably an argument over which is creepier: a possessed child… or a Furby. So grab your popcorn, dim the lights, and let's get extra with The Innocents. Wanna ask us something?!?

Grab your snorkels and avoid questionable swamp water, because this week Cam & Dylan are diving deep (literally) into the 1954 Universal monster classic, Creature from the Black Lagoon. We'll break down how a rubber-suited Gill-man managed to terrify audiences in glorious black and white, while also making half of Hollywood scream, “Wait… do I kinda ship the Creature and Julie Adams?” (Spoiler: you're not alone). Expect facts like: The Creature suit weighed so much it was basically a portable sauna. Ben Chapman played the Creature on land, but Ricou Browning handled the underwater stunts—making him Hollywood's first aquatic stunt king. Universal was so hype about 3D at the time, they basically handed out migraines with your ticket. And of course, we'll be laughing at all the 1950s science bros who went to the Amazon in button-ups and khakis like it was casual Friday, only to be absolutely useless against a fish-man with abs. So tune in as Cam & Dylan butter up this monster flick with jokes, nostalgia, and more Gill-man thirst than anyone asked for. Wanna ask us something?!?

This week on Xtra Butta, we grab our popcorn (and maybe some sage) to break down Weapons—the horror-thriller from Zach Cregger that asks the question: What if your favorite teacher, your town's nicest principal, a shady cop, and a random junkie all got sucked into a supernatural mess involving missing kids and one seriously evil great-aunt? Seventeen third graders vanish without a trace. A teacher becomes the town scapegoat. A grieving dad starts channeling Liam Neeson. Meanwhile, a heroin addict accidentally stumbles into the worst Airbnb basement of all time. And at the center of it all? Gladys—the great-aunt with vibes so creepy she makes the Wicked Witch of the West look like a life coach. We're talking POV storytelling, small-town paranoia, dark magic, talismans, addiction metaphors, and how Weapons somehow makes you question both witches AND the school system. Oh, and of course, we'll debate the big question: Would YOU survive in Maybrook, PA, or would you end up a magical battery in Gladys's basement? Grab your headphones, pour some extra butter on that popcorn, and join us as we dig into every spooky, twisty, WTF moment of Weapons. This one's going to get weird in the best possible way.
