Send a text Eric and Neil head back to the land of the holiday themed slasher movie. We talk about, My Bloody Valentine from 1981. It's a fun early 80's romp, with a small town Canadian feel. 1981 was truly the slasher heyday. Grab a Moosehead beer and join us!
Send us a text Eric and Neil tackle a musical for the first time on the podcast. We talk about the 1986 classic, Little Shop of Horrors. Neil isn't a big fan of movie musicals, but Eric is. We talk about the amazing Career of Frank Oz and out love of comic books. Grab some laughing gas and join us!
Send us a text Eric and Neil talk about the awful Superman 3 from 1983. The series really hits a wall here. Christopher Reeve can't save us from rampant slapstick and Richard Pryor hamming it up. Bring your synthetic kryptonite and join us!
Send us a text Eric and Neil discuss one of the greatest comedies of all time. It's an amazing movie that created the "mockumentary" genre. Grab your bass guitar and join us!
Send us a text Eric and Neil march back into the early days of the MCU, when they were still trying to figure it out. We talk about the first Captain America movie, its a great origin story and period piece. Take your super soldier serum and join us!
Send us a text Eric and Neil are back for our first episode of the new year. We talk about the cult classic from 1986, Highlander. Hard to believe we haven't done this one already. It's a fun slice of 80's action/cheese. Grab your katana and join us!
Send us a text Eric and Neil are back from an unexpected 2 week break. We head back to the early days of Marvel movies with Iron Man 2. Lots of other topics to discuss as well. Grab your pet bird and join us!

Send us a text Our mini "Worst of Stephen King" series continues with the 1992 oddity, Sleepwalkers. Eric, Neil and David are all here for a less then enthusiastic ride. We also discuss side gig options for David during the government shut down. Grab your closest kitty and join us!
Send us a text Eric and Neil brave the awfulness of the only movie that Stephen King ever directed. The explosions and stunts are fun, but the plot is terrible and suspense and scares are severely lacking. Grab your rocket launcher and join us!
Send us a text Eric, Neil and David keep the horror fest going beyond the holiday. We talk about the sequel to the "reboot", Halloween Kills. A movie that lives up to it's title. While it might not be the most intelligent of the series, it is one of the most fun and gory of them all. Evil Dies tonight! Join Us!
Send us a text Eric and Neil talk about the franchise reboot, Halloween from 2018. It has pretty much everything thing you want from a Michael Myers movie. Grab a candy bag and join us!
Send us a text Eric, Neil and David are bored out of their gourds talking about the Stan Winston directed movie from 1988, Pumpkinhead. The effects are great, but the story is simple and the deep fried south setting is awful. Come down to the bayou and join us!
Send us a text Eric and Neil continue the horror movie madness with the 2013 Reboot of the Evil Dead. Possibly the "juiciest" movie ever made. We talk about amazing practical effects and the unflinching nature of the movie. We actually talk about the movie a lot in this episode! Grab your barf bag and join us!
Send us a text Eric and Neil talk about the 1979 cult classic, Tourist Trap. Filled with a creepy vibe and even creepier mannequins. Lots of people were traumatized by the repeat viewings on local channels during the early 80's. Grab a dummy head and join us!
Send us a text Eric and Neil take a break from the normal format and talk about the beloved horror sub genre, the slasher movie. We talk about the heyday of the genre in the last 70's and early 80's as well as the tropes we love and hate. Grab a kitchen knife and join us!
Send us a text Our journey into the slasher films of 1981 continues with the cult classic, The Prowler. It's a run of the mill slasher movie with one difference, Tom Savini doing the effects. Join Eric, Neil and David as we talk about the ups and downs of the movie. Grab your pitchfork and join us!
Send us a text David returns and joins Eric and Neil to talk about this slasher movie from 1981. We talk about the majority of the movie is just walking around in the dark. We also talk about the career of Linda Blair. Grab your really tiny radio and join us!
Send us a text It's time! Time for horror movies! Eric and Neil talk about the 1981 movie, The Funhouse. Directed by Tobe Hooper. Its a nice time capsule for the early 80's with lax Boomer parenting and sleazy atmosphere. Jump on the bumper cars and join us!
Send us a text It's our 250th episode! Today Eric and Neil finally talk about the elephant in the room of action cinema, Steven Segal. We talk about what might be his peak performance in, Marked For Death. We spend a lot of time talking about the myth of Steven Segal and why what looked cool back then, is laughable now.
