The Head, The Tail, The Whole Damn Thing

Hey Whole Damn Family! (edit) This episode turned our own mother against us...she did not like how we portrayed Vin Diesel, titan of the industry. The turn of the Millennium brought us a fun sci-fi monster movie called Pitch Black (2000) and Vin Diesel, without which we would not have such strong Family values, and we wouldn't have the Fast and the Furious movies either, so thank you, universe, for supplying us with those. We paired this one with Dan Trachtenberg's box office success, Predator Badlands (2025). You may not think it, but these movies are both about family. So give it a listen and call your folks to check in. In Pitch Black, we learn some fun behind-the-scenes bits, and in Predator Badlands, we learn there's lots of digital.

Hey, Whole Damn Family. We recorded this one out of order so we could squeeze in our Thanksgiving episode. On this one, we get physical with Brian Yuzna's crazy movie Society (1992). Nothing to see here, nothing strange going on, just keep your hands and feet inside the cart until we pass the shunting lest you be dragged in. We also discuss what we like in our tea...or rather what a character is asked about tea. Don't worry we don't kink shame here! But wow, is this full of Booty Calls. After the shunting, we move onto the enabling co-dependent millennial piece Together (2025) from director Michael Shanks where we learn what not to do in a relationship. Lots of behind-the-scenes tidbits for both these films, so enjoy! Join the family! We talked about guesting on I Wanna Be in the Sequel too. It's out here, that link. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i-wanna-be-in-the-sequel/id1820686294 Larry Van Duynhoven and friends did Together here's their insta.

Hey, whole Damn Family, it's our Thanksgiving Turkey Special episode! Once again, we had our faithful announcer, Tyler, with us in the studio.

We also tell some set stories in the beginning and some dirty bathroom stories too, it's a joyous laugh-filled holiday feast of crap! Speaking of crap.

We finished up Spooky Season with a special show of classics. It's a John Carpenter double feature...kinda! We start it off with Halloween 2 (1981) more of the night he came home. There are lots of behind-the-scenes bits here and stories. We also discover who the real creepy villain of this movie is. You'll be shocked when you find out. Then we follow it up with a classic ghost story, John Carpenter's The Fog from (1980) Lots of good stories and Radio promo play in this one. A little special Tyler story at the end. We promote our upcoming show with the Slash U guys on their Thanksgiving special. We also talk about being on, I Wanna Be in the Sequel with Britnee and Caitlin. If you haven't heard that one yet, it's pretty great.  For the lovely ladies of I Wanna Be in the Sequel https://www.instagram.com/iwannabeinthesequelpodcast?igsh=NmptNGUxdHJ4MDZx Were coming up soon on an episode of Slash U go here to keep up on them. https://www.instagram.com/slashu_podcast?igsh=emFza3V4eGJ6Ym12 Want to support and buy some show swag!!

Hey, Whole Damn Family, It's our 31st episode! Just in time for Halloween week! Its our longest title yet! Too many words in these movie titles! But regardless of the wordy names, it's a double helping of director Eli Craig. First, his (2010) feature debut, Tucker and Dale vs Evil, which, let's be honest, is a horror comedy classic. If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and seek this one out. We follow up with a little promo for two upcoming shows. We're hooking up with the fellas from Slash U and the lovely ladies of I Wanna Be In The Sequel Podcasts. Follow their Instas below so you know when we drop in. Then we start talking about the new "based on a YA book" horror movie Clown in a Cornfield (2025), what could be more Halloweeny than that. The makeup FX in that one were handled by Doug Morrow over at Character Illusions in Winnipeg. We talk a bit about the budget restraints and why movies cost so much anyway. Also in this episode we also invent a new ride share service. Don't steal our idea we time stamped it! To see more of Doug's work check his insta. https://www.instagram.com/character_illusions_inc?igsh=MXhodTBzZ2FveGgxNg== To catch the fellas at Slash U go here. https://www.instagram.com/slashu_podcast?igsh=emFza3V4eGJ6Ym12 For the lovely ladies of I Wanna Be in the Sequel https://www.instagram.com/iwannabeinthesequelpodcast?igsh=NmptNGUxdHJ4MDZx Want to support and buy some show swag!!

Hey whole Damn Family. It's time we conjure up a double dose of the Warrens. Everyone's favorite paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine. This is true stuff! No one could make this up. It's not Hollywood fakery; this is real life, true things that happened to real people and were documented truthfully, and also it's true that it's true. It's like super realistic truth. We start with the true story of The Conjuring (2013) and the Perron family, and finish with the case that was so true it made them stop fighting for the truth. Yes, that's right. The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) is about the Smurl family. As I write this, I can't believe we didn't make a Family Feud joke. At any rate, here for your Shocktober enjoyment is some true horror.

What we have here is a supersized version of witchery, just in time for the Halloween season. We start off with a classic, Dario Argento's (1977) Suspiria. It's obvious from the fake Italian accent enthusiasm that the boys enjoy this one! There's lots to unpack in this arthouse horror gem, including some interesting behind the scenes tech about the film and the soundtrack. We follow that up with the brand new Zach Cregger film Weapons (2025) which Mike happened to work on. So there are lots of behind the scenes tidbits and discussions on the makeup fx. There's so much in this episode we left it long and still cut stuff out that will come to Patreon later. So grab your ingredients and heat up your cauldrons, it's time to get into this witch.

Hello Whole Damn Family! On this one, we sail out and find two films that may be under your radar. Dead Calm (1989), which is one of Billy Zane and Nicole Kidman's first-ever roles. It's a tight thriller where we get to conjure the ghost of Orson Welles for our opener (kinda). Aren't you curious why? Then we deep dive into this summer's new serial killer shark movie from down under by Sean Byrne, Dangerous Animals (2025), Starring Jai Courtney (this one just dropped on Shudder). Sir David Attenborough visits us (not really) to tell us about the dangers of Australia. We also talk about the sexy tones of Creedence Clearwater Revival and bite into the sensuous side of corn. Oh you didn't know there was one? You've got a lot to learn in this episode! As usual feeding the algorithm helps more than you know, so share us with a friend!

It's our one-year anniversary! So let's unplug it all and plug it back in with these two beauties. In 1986, Wes Craven tried to introduce the world to his Deadly Friend...but audiences were more interested in his nightmares, so the studio stuck their greasy fingers into his mechanical pie. Spoiler Alert…It didn't go over too well, but this one has a good origin story. Twenty-six years later, the world was introduced to M3GAN and now M3GAN 2.0, so we paired Wes' long lost and rarely talked about friend with the latter. Lucky for you! In this episode, we talk robot love, destructive AI’s, evil stepfathers, Steven Segal, and Family; in fact, “it’s all about family!” So put on your headphones and reboot with some laughs.

This one should be fun! A whole episode on grief! How adorable! The boys cover Stephen King's classic Pet Sematary (1989), a film undoubtedly about the cons of the trucking industry and the pros of fencing off your yard! Mike gives a few behind-the-scenes tidbits he learned from John Blake about working on the show with David Anderson and his father, Lance. https://www.instagram.com/afxstudio/ We paired it with the much talked about, highly popular, Bring Her Back (2025) from the immensely talented Philippou brothers. This ones a banga! There's some good little behind the scenes tidbits of things Mike learned from Larry Van Duynhoven who helmed the makeup with his team at Scarecrew https://www.instagram.com/scarecrew_studios/ You can check his insta for some good Bring Her Back bits as well as some of the other things he and his Scarecrew are doing. We also joke about taking the kindergarten teacher to the basement, and Tyler is live from Morocco. All this and more on this supersized episode!

It's our 25th episode, but it's all about the magic of the number 28. We are deeply engrossed in all things Danny Boyle, Alex Garland, and Sandra Bullock. We start with the original 28 Days Later and break it down. We have a Quiz! We begin with a spoiler-free portion of the new 28 Years Later, and we conclude it all with a bit of WTF did we just witness when we talk about the end everyone's chirping about?

Hey Everyone! This time it's! The Amityville Horror (1979) more like Scammityville Borer...spoiler alert! And the more recent choice is the Spanish film Don't Listen (2020), also known as Voces in Europe. Don't Listen comes to us from one of our own Patreon supporters who continually suggested it until we gave in. Persistence is key kids! We're glad we finally listened! These two movies pair well together, and we think this is a fun episode! For some BTS pics from Don't Listen, check out the makeup FX team's Instagram, OXUM FX .

They're here! This one's got a fantastic classic Poltergeist from the summer of (1982) and a new one, Presence (2025) that lots of folks have been talking about. Just wait till you hear James, Steven Soderbergh impersonation. It's spot on! Some good behind-the-scenes content about Poltergeist (I wish Craig Reardon had an Instagram account!). There's a bit about the "curse" of Poltergeist, and as usual, a lot of laughs were had.

This one's Looong. That's okay, we think most of you like that...In anticipation of our live show in Crystal Lake, Illinois, on Friday June 13th, we have pre-reviewed the movie we will be screening there. Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) and a movie it pairs damn well with Finn Wolfhard's horror comedy, A Hell of a Summer (2025) This is a good way to kick off the summer for us here with some campy camp counselor slashing.

Too much Monkey Bizness! It's another milestone! 20 episodes! Well, look at us go monkeying around! This is another one that comes from the hearts and minds of our Patreon supporters on the Discord. We wanted to review Osgood Perkins' latest, The Monkey (2025) based on the Stephen King short story, and they chose George Romero's dare we say...classic? Monkey Shines (1988) to walk down the movie aisle with it. Thank you for reminding us this movie was around! We had quite a few laughs, and we even started to rewrite a Misfits song for it.

It's our 19th episode and our 3rd guest! With the new movie Final Destination Bloodlines (2025) coming out, we wanted to talk to Producer and friend of the show Craig Perry, who was involved in all of those films. Craig was also one of the main producers on the American Pie series, and so much more over the years. He's got a fantastic, fun energy and a lot to say. If you are a fan of the Final Destination movies, we cover all of them in this episode. He gives us a lot of behind-the-scenes stories, and even answers some questions our supporters wanted to know. It's a really terrific interview. Plus, Mike introduces him using the voice of Casey Kasem (yeah, most of you won't get that), and there's a mishap at the drive-in in the lobby break.

This episode, Mike and James explore two titles with a little international flair. Both of these movies need a superintendent who's not a jerk to help the cast escape the horrors of their run-down apartment buildings. One has an issue with zombies and the other is infested with spiders... "What Nooo!!" Yes, that's right, Mark Wahlberg. On this episode, we get continental and discuss the now "classic" found footage Spanish film Rec (2007), which has gone on to spawn many sequels since it came out. As well as 2024's French, creepy spider movie Infested (titled Vermine in France). And since they are both in their respective home languages, we felt this was a great pairing suggestion by our Patreon supporters on Discord. So tune up on your French and Spanish classes, kick back and have a listen.

Thanks for being here with us! In this episode we cover companionship. It’s a beautiful thing that shouldn’t be abused, or mixed with Voodoo apparently. Both of these films show how companionship can go terribly and amazingly wrong. We get deep into the original Childs Play (1988) where Chucky became the horror icon he is today. We talk a lot about the behind the scenes geniuses for Chucky. In a world before digital FX these guys, Kevin Yahger and crew, were rock stars. Our companion film (see what I did there) is Companion (2025) the first feature film from writer and TV director Drew Hancock. Starring Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quaid. For a look at Kevin Yahger, who designed and built Chucky, and what else he has been involved in check his insta. https://www.instagram.com/yagherfx/ Again Jeremy Selenfriend and his talented crew did a lot of Companion gore see this link. https://www.instagram.com/jselenfriend/p/DHYdkG2O0om/?img_index=1 Legacy Effects did the robot arm….I mean look at what they do! https://www.instagram.com/legacyeffects/ As usual, send any fan or hate mail to thewholedamnthing13@gmail.com For dumb-related memes and pics or short clips of things we mention, or behind the scens footage be sure to follow our Instagram.

This week, we are wolf-positive and leapin' n hoppin' on a moon shadow. It's The Howling from 1981. Which is one of the reasons Mike wanted to do makeup FX in the first place. The boys have a good time with this one discussing things like the maturing of young men who saw Marsha for the first time and what's in Dick Miller's bookstore. In our second feature, we discuss Leigh Whannel's new Blumhouse film Wolf Man (2025) There's a lot of behind-the-scenes discussion of the practical FX of both of these films. For more info on Arjen Tuiten who did the FX on the new Wolf Man film check out his insta. https://www.instagram.com/p/DHZ5o4avsZM/ As usual, send any fan or hate mail to thewholedamnthing13@gmail.com Tell us if we got it wrong this time, we want to hear what you think!
