188 - Halloween Bonus: Shudder's Ghoul Log Oct 31, 2023

Show notes

Jen and Tim do a deep dive into the canned pumpkin pie filling that is Shudder's Ghoul Log! Are we serious with this shit? You tell us! However, all of the usual outlets appear to trick-or-treat it with the same gravitas afforded to, say, the latest Terrifier installment. To wit:

Comicbook.com anticipates the Night of the Ghoul Log:

"While some fans might be disappointed that this year hasn't embraced a specific horror property, it still marks a great way to capture the atmosphere of Halloween night." - Patrick Cavanaugh

All Hallows Geek covers Tippett Studios's Mad God edition of the Ghoul Log

SlashFilm on the Trick 'r Treat-themed edition:

"It's charming, but it's also a bit distracting. If you want the Ghoul Log to serve as background filler – as I do – this isn't the way to go, as the constant interruptions will pull you away from whatever it is you're doing." - Chris Evangelista

Comicbook.com dutifully announces the 2023 edition (the kitty appears at approximately 4:30, for Shudder subscribers who value their time)

187 - The Guardian Oct 22, 2023

Show notes

Tim and Jen bring back one of horror’s heaviest (lol) hitters to talk about a movie William Friedkin couldn’t be bothered to mention after he made it, The Guardian!

Tim’s quip about Q’s on Wilshire refers to a 2000 incident in which screenwriter and director Eric Red plowed his Jeep into a crowded bar following a fender bender, killing two people, then attempted to slit his own throat with a piece of glass. The linked LA Weekly article draws some tenuous conclusions between Red’s work and the bloody mess at Q’s, but as of 2023 he appears to have stayed out of trouble and written several novels.

KCRW memorializes Deirdre O’ Donaghue’s incredibly influential playlists with its Bent By Nature podcast.

The ballerina clown of Venice remains in situ, where it has been since 1989. Presumably, it makes the CVS underneath it easy to find for out-of-towners.

Do you love Tim and Bitter Karella, but have had enough of Jen? Hear the former two discuss a beloved childhood favorite in our Ernest Goes to Camp episode!

186 - Ghost Stories Oct 16, 2023

Show notes

Jen is pleasantly surprised when Tim suggests a horror movie that's actually pretty good: the eerie anthology with a twist, Ghost Stories. Also, Tim gives an impromptu lecture on the deeper meaning of American zombie movies.

Read an interview with Ghost Stories co-writer Derren Brown about his new stage show. He also confesses that he used to be a cape guy ("a bit intense, and a bit socially maladroit," according to the article. No surprise there! He also has a YouTube channel if you would like to see him hypnotize people into giving him their wallets.

185 - The Frighteners Oct 11, 2023

Show notes

Tim and Jen look at Peter Jackson’s transition from splatter king to mainstream whizbang effects filmmaker, The Frighteners.

Check out part one of The Frighteners blooper reel! Part two may be viewed here. Damn, that’s a lot of blooperin’!

In 2018, Germain Lussier wrote a positive reappraisal of the film for Gizmodo.

Lussier does not appear to be alone in liking the film, since a recent post from MSN claims that Universal intends to remake The Frighteners. Maybe we’ll get that franchise after all!

184 - Clifford Sep 25, 2023

Show notes

Jen and Tim come to a tenuous agreement about a once universally loathed Martin Short comedy, Clifford. Also, Tim punches down ruthlessly on a twenty pound miniature pinscher.

The Slate article about Martin Short that riled everyone up may be found here, but if you want to skip right to the synchronized swimming sketch from SNL, you can watch it on Vimeo.

The Vulture oral history of the making, the release, and the eventual cult fandom around Clifford is as exhaustive a history of the film as one may be expected to tolerate.

DNA specialists identified the Boy in the Box as Joseph Augustus Zarelli, 65 years after his death (be careful if you search for info on the case; the police distributed postmortem photos shortly after he was found in an attempt to generate leads).

183 - Perversions of Science Sep 19, 2023

Show notes

Tim and Jen head back to the pre-prestige-TV cable well with a failed spinoff of Tales From the Crypt called Perversions of Science. Throughout, you can really tell that your hosts would rather be watching a certain Canadian/German co-production.

Jen was slightly off when she said that HBO has existed since “the mid-to-late 70s”—it launched in 1972.

Mic mentions the Dan Quayle/Murphy Brown kerfuffle in this article about depictions of abortion on American television. And then there’s Maude!

In 1992, Vanity Fair covered the speculation around the circumstances of the death of Hitler’s niece. (Jen thinks he did it.)

If you love Skinemax Farscape as much as we do, listen to our Lexx episode!

182 - Goat Story: The Old Prague Legends Sep 10, 2023

Show notes

Jen enlists show stalwart Bitter Karella to help offend nearly every single person in the Czech Republic by providing an honest review of Goat Story: The Old Prague Legends.

See the intro for the show Jen and Karella saw in Switzerland, Kommissar Rex. That's what I call a good friend!

If you would like to see the "Roy Orbison in clingfilm" stories for yourself, you can do so here, but keep in mind that the site owner has "ceased answering mail" because of "weirdos." However, the film and television rights to his long-awaited Roy Orbison in clingfilm novel are still up for grabs!

Hear our Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure episode, also featuring Bitter Karella!

181 - Shakes the Clown Sep 03, 2023

Show notes

Jen and Tim quibble over Bobcat Goldthwait’s directorial debut, the seedy comic tale of Shakes the Clown. Also, Jen drops some hard truths about Robin Williams.

Patton Oswalt tells his story about the world’s worst party clown to Conan O’Brien.

Are you new to Have You Seen This? Have you yet to hear the good news about Pervy the Clown? Tune your Roku to B-Movie TV every Friday at midnight!…if you dare.

Or, if you’re subscribed to our Patreon at $5 and up, direct your Pervy-related questions to your hosts in the show Discord!

Apropos of nothing, apparently the children’s show Little Clowns of Happytown was developed by Chuck Lorre, the guy who went on to runaway success with a bunch of sitcoms that Jen hates with every fiber of her being.

Can’t get enough clownin’? Listen to our episode about the Terrifier franchise!

**180 - Kinjite: Forbidden Subjects** Aug 20, 2023
Show notes

Tim and Jen look at the creepiest Charles Bronson film not directed by Michael Winner, Kinjite: Forbidden Subjects.
Regarding Jill Ireland leaving then-husband David McCallum for Bronson, longtime rumor says that Bronson reportedly told McCallum to his face, “I’m going to marry your wife.” However, McCallum disputes this, and apparently didn’t hold a grudge:

“‘I never hated him, Charlie was always a good friend,’ he says. ‘I find that when problems come along, worrying about them and getting anxious and negative is quite unnecessary. You can solve them, usually amicably. That’s what happened.’”
-McCallum to the Daily Mirror, 2016

Whatta guy!

*Lateral move, really*

CBR has the rundown on Cannon’s ersatz entry in the Macross/Robotech saga, the optimistically titled Robotech: The Movie. This archived Robotech fansite goes into even further detail on what went wrong. Please direct any further questions to our Robotech expert, Tim.

For more Cannon/Bronson (and J. Lee Thompson!), listen to our episode about 10 to Midnight, the movie with a nude serial killer.

**179 - The Terrifier Franchise** Aug 14, 2023
Show notes

Jen and Tim get mad enough to talk about All Hallow’s Eve and Terrifier (the first one) for almost two hours!

Jen really punted when she said that scary clowns go back to John Wayne Gacy— according to Smithsonian Magazine, clowns have been creepy (and annoying) for centuries!

This Bloom County strip from the story arc Jen mentioned illustrates the one-time societal loathing directed at mimes pretty well.
For that previous mime discussion, listen to our Eat and Run episode with special guest Bitter Karella!
