Show notes

David Gordon Green has taken on yet another horror franchise with his “The Exorcist” legacy sequel — 50 years after the original was released. And to commemorate this milestone, we invited Scott & Pete (co-hosts of Movies That Made Us Gay podcast) to discuss it with us. Tune in to hear us break down “The Exorcist: Believer” — from its new characters, to how they handled the return of Chris MacNeil, and where they could possibly take this story for 2 more movies.

Ep 174: Back to the Slasher Oct 22, 2023

Show notes

Ahhhh, the 80s. Such simpler times. Just not for the main character in “Totally Killer,” who time travels back to this decade to try and prevent a masked killer from murdering her mom’s friends. Tune in to hear us break down this horror comedy — from the lines that had us laughing out loud, to the gruesome murders that weren’t so humorous, and of course, all the 80s sh*t that would never fly today.

Bonus Episode: “Halloween” — The One, The Only, The Classic Oct 19, 2023

Show notes

We decided to release this month’s bonus episode on our main feed, as we discussed a film that’s just too iconic not to share with all our listeners.
“Halloween” (1978) is credited with launching the golden era of slasher films, the career of Jamie Lee Curtis, and must have made life suck for anyone named Michael Myers. Tune in to hear us break down every scene, every character, every kill, every moment of heavy breathing, and why it’s Matt’s favorite film of all time. 🎃

Ep 171: Saw X Marks the Spot Oct 09, 2023

Show notes

John Kramer, aka Jigsaw, is back in the 10th installment of the “Saw” series… but if we’re being sticklers for chronology, it’s more like “Saw 1.5.” Tune in to hear us break down all the new characters, all those gory traps, the more emotional approach this film took, and the biggest question of all — who we were supposed to root for.
