Description
Fearless Films Podcast is a weekly show where we walk through horror movies, breaking down the beats, discussing the lore and interesting trivia of all the best (and worst) in the horror movie genre. The show started as Pete, the horror buff, explaining the plots of horror movies to Kevin, the scaredy cat, who hates being scared but is intrigued by these modern mythologies.
Kevin eventually retired from the podcast, but the show goes on! Pete is now joined by Sarah, who also loves horror movies, and they continue the tradition of explaining the scariest stories to all the scaredy cats out there, so they don't have to watch the movies.

Send us a text It's the final week in October and we ran out of Jaws sequels. So you get the next best thing - the greatest Jaws ripoff of all time, Orca!! This week's movie follows a Richard Harris as a horrible ship captain that murders an Orca, which then spurs its grieving mate to declare war on him and the entire fishing community where he resides. That's not hyperbole, the sea animal goes full John Rambo and uses guerilla tactics to methodically destroy the property and economy of an en...
Send us a text Long before Halloween made it the hottest trend and Scream was spoofing the idea, Jaws was the master of the requel. This week, Pete takes us through Jaws: The Revenge, a film that completely ignores the events of the third entry and bills itself as the "actual" end of the trilogy. Lorrain Gary returns from retirement to portray Ellen Brody, widow and grieving mother after the death of her youngest son. Her oldest, Michael, takes her away to the Bahamas where he works as a mari...
Send us a text Sooner or later, every 80's franchise fell victim to the most dangerous beast - 3D gimmicks! This week, Pete takes us through the latest Jaws sequel, Jaws 3-D. This entry finds Michael Brody, all grown up and played by Dennis Quaid, working as an engineer at Seaworld. As soon as the park opens a new underwater attraction, a big-ass shark shows up and begins eating the guests! What follows is a mess of blood, terror, and cheap 3-D bits that really don't hold up. Join us as we di...
Send us a text Just when you thought October was safe again... it's another franchise!! This year, Pete is hunting for the sequels to one of the greatest movies of all time, Jaws! Somehow, this cinema classic got not only one, but three sequels. And one of them is even a requel, starting well before Halloween made that its defining feature. Jaws 2, from 1978, is a mix of the classic Jaws formula and the then-budding slasher genre. This one features a ton of teenagers stranded in a remote loca...
Send us a text What happens when you decide to make a movie about breaking all the rules of a a supernatural horror movie? You get The Possession Experiment! This week, Sarah walks us through a 2016 film where a guy decides to prove the existence of the afterlife by ALLOWING himself to be possessed, and filming the whole thing. Things go horribly wrong, as everyone expected. Join us as we discuss possession makeup, wasting big name actors on one scene, and the dangers of having sex with demon...
Send us a text The Warren's are back, and badder than ever! This week, Sarah walks us through part 3 of the Conjuring saga. We see the Warren's helping the defense of a young man accused of murder, who just may have been possessed by an evil force at the time (spoiler for the real life events: that evil force was alcohol). They race against time to uncover the mysterious entity that is causing chaos across New England! Join us as we discuss why you can't just go around touching dead bodies, w...
Send us a text When the students of an athletic academy begin disappearing in bloody ways, their Olympic dreams will become... an Olympic Nightmare!! ...wait a second, the name of this movie is Fatal Games. Or is it The Killing Touch? No matter which of its many titles you pick, Pete's choice this week is a bad 80's slasher movie that suffers from being overly tropey, horribly offensive on multiple fronts, and just a general sense of poor filmmaking. Join us as we discuss how impractical a ja...
Send us a text Ed and Lorraine are back, and this time they are taking Great Britain by storm! This week, Sarah takes us through The Conjuring 2, based on the real life Enfield Haunting. A British family is tormented by an evil spirit that is forcing the children to see and do horrible things. Ed and Lorraine show up to help prove that evil spirits real, and to uncover the demonic mastermind behind the happenings.

Send us a text What happens when road rage goes too far? You get the debut of one of the greatest directors of all time!

Or will he be crushed under tons of murderous steel? Join us as we discuss rude Samaritans, the importance of car maint...
Send us a text This week, we are talking about a spinoff from a franchise that was so spun, it doesn't even count anymore! It's The Curse of La Llorona! Sarah breaks down this Conjuring branch that the producers claim was snapped off the tree, despite the direct connections. When the angry spirit of a woman comes looking for her children, Linda Cardellini's are offered up instead, and she must do everything she can to save them. Join us as we discuss doing social work with ghosts, why not to ...
Send us a text Happy Fourth of July, Fearless Fans!! It's time for another holiday slasher!! This week, Pete breaks down Uncle Sam, a cheap slasher about an undead soldier that punishes the unpatriotic... but also just any random person that's around. It's poorly made, often boring, and completely nonsensical. We're sure you'll love it! Join us as we discuss peeping toms, corrupt politicians, and a town where chaos reigns and there is no sense of danger. And as always: don't get too scared!
Send us a text The doll is back (again) in what may be the worst titled entry in the franchise - Annabelle Comes Home! Sarah breaks down the third and (hopefully) final Annabelle film, which tells the story of a night of babysitting gone wrong. The Warren's daughter's babysitter accidentally lets loose the killer doll from the MUSEUM OF CURSED OBJECTS. Predictably, things go very wrong. Join us as we discuss proper cursed item storage conditions, how to deal with stray hell hounds, and what t...
Send us a text This week, to celebrate the month of his birth, Pete picked another movie from his childhood that he definitely should not have been watching so young - John Carpenter's Vampires! This late 90's western tells the story of a church-backed group of cowboys who hunt vampires across the United States. James Woods and one of the lesser Baldwin brothers must stop the bad guy from Karate Kid 3 before he unlocks a dark magic that will allow vampires to walk around in the day time. Bada...
Send us a text Annabelle is back, and this time, she doesn't need any fancy subtitles! This week, Sarah breaks down the one that started us on this crazy doll train, the original Annabelle! This entry finds the titular terror invading the home of a happy couple and their newborn babe. She gets up to her old antics and tries to steal and soul she can get her tiny wooden hands on. Join us as we discuss magical old black ladies (and why they need to stop being a thing), forced suspension of disb...
Send us a text What was the best werewolf movie of 1981? Well, it was American Werewolf in London, which we already talked about. So this week, we're talking about the second best werewolf movie of 1981 - The Howling! Pete talks us through this crazy film, which doesn't even feature any werewolf stuff until the half way point. So much is going on in this flick: a traumatized reporter, serial killers, occult book stores, health resorts, nymphomania, conspiracies, vegans, adultery, and more! Jo...
Send us a text Killer dolls aren't born... they're made! Wait a second, that's obvious, not scary... This week, Sarah continues the long chronological trek across the Conjuring franchise and brings us Annabelle Creation! Witness the terrifying origin of the spooky doll that really should have just been a Raggedy Ann. The film follows a group of young girl orphans being taken into a the home of an older couple who suffered a horrible tragedy in their past (get your Trope Checklists ready for t...
Send us a text We've seen what the common man has done to survive the zombie apocalypse. But what was the government and the military doing while the world went to hell? If you guessed wasting resources and turning on each other, you would be correct! This week, Pete talks us through the thrilling third part of George A. Romero's original zombie trilogy, Day of the Dead! It follows a group of soldiers and scientists living in an underground bunker, desperately searching for either a cure, or ...
Send us a text Another example of the most tense genre of horror - socially awkward horror! And just in time for April Fool's Day!! This week, Sarah walks us through "I'm Just F*cking With You", which is part of Hulu's Into the Dark film series. A man traveling to a family wedding stops at a small motel for the night, and encounters that kind of jerk who keeps teasing and making jokes, but waves away his a-hole behavior with a "take it easy" mentality. Things take a dark turn when the man's ...
Send us a text It's that time of year again. Time to celebrate St. Patrick's day with the best/worst tradition ever: a Leprechaun movie!! Last year, Leprechaun went to the hood, and the studio liked it so much, they went back a second time! This week, Pete is discussing Leprechaun Back 2 The Hood, the follow-up that lacks any of the charm, humor, or self-awareness of its predecessor. This entry was so bad it put the franchise into hibernation for over a decade and had to be followed by a com...
Send us a text Found Footage. Ancient Pyramids. Bad CGI. It's time for 2014's The Pyramid! Sarah breaks down this 2014 film about a group of archaeologists who enter a newly discovered pyramid and find something waiting for them within. Follow along as they get picked off one by one, all while absolutely mangling Egyptian mythology. Join us as we discuss breaking the rules of found footage, why Sphinx cats are awesome, and how not to save someone from a spike trap. And as always, don't get...
