We're back with special guest Joel Edmiston to cover the much maligned 1997 sequel to our beloved AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON, fittingly titled AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN PARIS. Not to spoil the episode too much but this movie sucks! The carefully balanced horror-comedy tone of the first film has been replaced by pure goofball Looney Tunes silliness, and not in a fun way! We also talk about some other films we'e been watching, such as: NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, GET OUT, BRING HER BACK, THE PER...
We're back! So sorry for the delay, we missed last week due to Ben being stricken with shingles. A late October witch's pox no doubt. But now we're back with another spooky duology so just pretend it's still Halloween for a few more days. Friend of the show, past and future guest, and comedian extraordinaire Joel Edmiston joins us to talk about one of, if not the best horror comedy ever AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON! We talk about John Landis (prison) we talk about Joel's hatred for Howie Ma...
The Vampire Lestat has been asleep for many many years... until he finally hears something that excites him out of his slumber: nü metal! In the very 2002-core film QUEEN OF THE DAMNED we follow Lestat (almost-Aragorn Stuart Townsend) on his journey to become the world's most beloved vampire rock star.

We talk Tom, we talk luscious production design, we talk (and mock) Mr. Bradley Pitts, and of course we go on many, many tangents! We also celebrate several important birthdays! Some other movies discussed on this episode are ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, THE MASTER, MAGNOLIA, HIGHEST 2 LOWEST, BAMBOOZLED, RED ...
We're back and we're going down down down down, way down in the direct-to-dvd hole with THE DESCENT: PART DEUX. More caves, more crawlers, more throat-ripping! But first, we share out timely coverage of the 50th Toronto International Film Festival, surely the best one yet! Did we see much? No, not really. But what we saw was pure gold, right? Well no, mostly slop. But amongst the slop there are always gems. Every bowl of slop has a gem, as the saying goes. We're talking FUCK MY SON!, THE FENC...
