Happy Thanksgiving! It's Turkey Day, dammit, and you're listening to Jay of the Dead's New Horror Movies, The Wild Turkey of Horror Movie Podcasts! Here in Episode 172, your hosts Jay of the Dead and Mister Watson endeavor to elicit an environment of the last Thursday in November in America! That's right! Upon listening to this decadent yet delectable detritus, drizzled with down-home, delightful domestication, you will be whisked away (not folded nor mixed), but whisked away into an audio podcast that blends 2025 New Horror Movie reviews, some faint comedy, and a dinner party vibe with A New Horror Movies Thanksgiving — With Jay of the Dead and Mister Watson.

Now then, if you choose to join us for this audiophile's feast, then you will hear reviews of the following, 2025 New Horror Movies. And please note: We are most careful NOT to reveal any spoilers; so even if you have not seen these films yet, you are in good, safe hands with Mister Watson and Jay of the Dead! The films we review during this episode are A Desert (2025), HIM (2025), Marshmallow (2025), The Strangers: Chapter 2 (2025), Vicious (2025), Bone Lake (2025), MONSTER ISLAND (2025), Good Boy (2025), The Ugly Stepsister (2025), The Long Walk (2025), and for The Final Cut segment, we bring you a must-see Horror flick from last year, Pater Noster and the Mission of Light (2024).

And in addition to these reviews, you will hear Jay of the Dead explain exactly what he means when referring to a film as a "cinematic oddity," making a distinction between intentionally bizarre films versus movies that just wind up being bonkers and "out there." Mister Watson and Jay have an in-depth discussion about the appropriate approach for dealing with others who break social norms. And over dinner, Watson regales us with a tale from 2015 when Jay of the Dead used his podcaster's siren song to lead Dustin astray with a mermaid on date night! Also, Jay tries to persuade Watson to stop feeding his "good, little, chonky boys" (raccoons) before one of them eats his face off. And in a rare and special treat, Mister Watson tells us the remarkable true story of Hachiko the dog. Plus, we have some very special segments pertaining to Thanksgiving-related trivia, Thanksgiving Cooking With Cousin Kellie and Jay's Necro-MOM-icon in West Virginia, and the next chapters in the Dave Becker baler saga! Come get a taste! We think you'll like it!
