Life at last!This week, Cody and Matt lay down some tasty jams and sizzling riffs in the second half of their De Palma De Double De Feature! They discuss tantalizing toe-tappers, superb cinematography, and that pretty wild Paul Williams. They also dive deep into the spooky resonance of theatrical superstitions while having real-time realizations of why Swan has a camera fixated on his bed.Then, Matt is joined by the Grand Ghoul himself: The Phantom of Isaac Rother & The Phantoms! He's sto...
These are Godless times, Mrs. Snell...It's their annual Mother's Day episode so this week, Matt and Cody finally chat about one of the films they reference most on this show and their second Stephen King adaptation of the year. The boys talk iconic actors, diabolical mothers, and telekinetic super powers. Not to mention: difficult oral predicaments, the awkwardness of the high school locker room, subpar graffiti, what constituted texting in the 70's, and even their own prom experie...
They're always looking for an excuse to sing.This week, Cody and Matt take a stroll down one of London's most infamous streets looking for a shave... but find one of their most chaotic episodes yet! They discuss the villainous star-power of Tod Slaughter, the timelessness of the original tale, and the hilarity of a clueless romantic lead. There's also plenty of hilarious hats, nonsensical Nans, and mouth-watering meat pies to keep your bellies full. Thank Todd for all these beautiful th...
Are they being paid by the word? This week, Matt and Cody are once again joined by playwright and educator Emily McClain to talk about more animatronic killers and sadly less Nicolas Cage. The gang discusses major differences between the game source material and how this version matches up against it's own copycats...or maybe cupcakes in this instance. Not to mention: influencers infringing upon Hollywood's dayplayers, what time period we think the film may be set in, the Blumhouse of it all,...
Something's rotten!This week, Cody and Matt visit one of 2023's most shocking horror films. They discuss expert world-building, the marvels of a well crafted mystery, and the top notch gore that goes into turning your child into a popcorn bucket. If that wasn't gruesome enough for you, they also discuss the ill-fated grandma, the foul smelling neighbor, and the broadway-bound musical!Call the cleaner and hide the axes, something wicked this way... lurks.Thanks for listening!Socials: https://l...
It's Bud Time!This week, Matt and Cody hot-wire a car, a few in fact, in continuation of their look back at 2023, and just in time for this year's Harvest. The boys talk novel inspiration, 50's perspiration, and Misfits appropriation. They have a "Hay"day with the lure and a Field day with the acting choices. Not to mention: fuzzy cornfields, drunken parental units, lengthy hallways, what exactly some of those boys were really doing on Hype Night, and which graveyard you could find them hidin...
She's lean. She's mean. She's an incredibly entertaining machine.This week, Cody and Matt begin their look back at 2023 with the little robot girl that could. The boys discuss Blumhouse's newfound aesthetic, the terror of technology, and the elements that make a slasher icon. Surprising absolutely nobody, they latch on to the seasoned character actress next door while finding any excuse to bust into song. It's a pretty run-of-the-mill routine at this point.Make sure your devices are charged a...
Take a hike!This week, Matt and Cody board a VW's rusted out bottom and take the path of least resistance towards one of their mutual favorite cult classics of the 2010's. The boys talk comparisons to Adam Nevill's source material, the power of simplistic folk horror, and which character's fate they would likely endure. Not to mention: unexpected creature comforts, punching the elderly, who they would call out to on the pike, the trouble with pitching tents, building shelves, and meeting up w...
This show is really going down... under! This week, Cody and Matt decide to take a dip into the world of mockumentary horror with this certified cult classic. The boys find out who actually is the ghost with the most when they discuss the eerie reality of Lake Mungo, the effectiveness of lo-fi scares, and the impact of not having a script. Don't worry, even with these massive themes of grief and family to chew over... they still find time to appreciate the hilarity of the name Bob Smeets.Ditc...
And Then There Were 3 Women and 4 Men!This week, Matt and Cody board a dinghy to the isle of classic Murder Mysteries with one of the undisputed greats of the genre. They would send you an invite to listen to a record of their demise, but why should this week be any different? The boys chat tropes and trends of the classic mystery while also hacking their way through the style, Veteran Character Actors (including perhaps Bob Hope), and even how to make a twist ending sting. Then, Cody h...
The buzz... is BACK!This week, Cody and Matt find themselves on different sides of the county line as they go head-to-head over this divisive sequel. They discuss franchise expectations, Tobe Hooper's artistic vision, and the long shadow of the original film. They also go non-stop on Chop Top, Leapin' Leatherfaces, and silly chili patrons but manage to find common ground on horror icon Caroline Williams.Pull up a chair, make yourself a french fry house, and watch out for those... ahem... "pep...
Don't we lose it all every seven days...well...WELL...This week, Matt and Cody are unkind (as usual) and rewind back to the 90's for one of the most influential Japanese Horror movies of all time. The boys pair off two at a time and cross the stormy seas to an inevitable eruption of names they can't remember, familial lineage they can't get straight, and veteran character actors they never want to forget. Not to mention: what really was on that tape in the manager's office, phone chats with b...
True... True... TRUE!This week, Cody and Matt descend into the dark abyss that is Edgar Allan Poe's horrific tale of pits, pendulums, and incredibly thick cobwebs. They discuss the creative liberties one might take while adapting the classics, the ghoulish glory of the set decorator, and the legacy of director/producer/icon Roger Corman. They also fawn over the immortal Vincent Price and devilishly talented Barbara Steele while trying to figure out exactly why their basement was so incredibly...
It's Only a Pod...It's Only a Pod...It's Only a Pod...This week, Matt and Cody missed a turn somewhere back there, took a right, then a left, followed a road, and ended up in this Wes Craven and Sean Cunningham cult classic. The boys have a hay day with direction puns, kazoo musical stings, and diabolical parental revenge. Not to mention: the legacy of these horror masters, cops that won't stop, multi-purpose hair pieces, the real intention behind getting those criminals to the lake, words th...
We all knew that love hurts... but this is ridiculous!This week, Cody and Matt celebrate Valentine's Day and take a bite out of this cult classic. They discuss awkward teen love, high school in the 00's, and how effective a funny wig on JK Simmons can really be. After sorting out who are the "cool guys" and the "hoes", the boys dive into the importance of a specific tone, confusing marketing, and the powerhouse that is a Fox/Seyfried team-up.The year is flying by faster than an Amy Sedaris ca...
What will you give us for a basket full of nonsense?This week, Matt and Cody take the Rhoda less traveled back to the fifties to cover one of the most prominent stage-to-screen adaptations in Horror. The boys, or is it "Le Boys", tap-tap-tap their way around stagy thrillers, creepy squeegees, and how far they are willing to go for a school assignment. Not to mention: psychology and societal expectations, other actors who fought for the roles, how this movie paved the way for some modern award...
Be our victim...Well, if you're listening, you already kind of are. This week, Cody and Matt celebrate the 100th episode (and 106th film, but don't get them going) with one of the most iconic horror movie characters of all time. The boys discuss seductive filmmaking techniques, captivating lead performances, and the delicate balance between narrative and theme. They also decide to put a hat on a hat (or a hook on a hook) by diving deep into the importance of slasher fashion, origin stories th...
Heeeeeeere's Night Howls!This week, Matt and Cody kick off Year 3 with their favorite family of 3, The Torrances and one of the most highly regarded Horror films of all time. The boys whip their big wheel around their usual nonsense while getting lost in a maze of theories and readings that will have them shining for help in no time. They talk comparisons to the source material, why Stephen King hated this adaptation so much, and what sorts of historical perspectives Kubrick may have been rea...
