Friday the 13th Part 7: The New Blood (1988) feat. Greg Mucci Mar 10, 2021

Show notes

Happy Friday the...12th! We're giving you a reason to ki ki ki, ma ma ma anyways with our discussion of all things Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th Part 7: The New Blood (1988). Joining us is super fan Greg Mucci, who has controversial franchise opinions, as well as helpful sexual dietary advice (you want spunk talk? Well, we're giving it to you!)

Join us as we complain about the million characters, the missing gore and the lack of closure between Tina and Dr. Crews. Plus: the indestructible Kane Hodder, justice for Maddy and Eddie, hating Robin and Melissa and why Trace finds the ending so damn unsatisfying.

Scary Movie 2 (2001) feat. Ivotres Littles Mar 03, 2021

Show notes

Get your strong hands out because we're discussing our first full-blown parody with Keenen Ivory Wayans' 2001 crude spoof Scary Movie 2! Joining us for the discussion is "The Oprah of Horror" (and Horror Movies and Beyond host) Ivotres Littles!

Join us as we look at this wackadoodle time capsule into the types of comedies we were getting in the early aughts, note the differences between parody and satire, and try (TRY) to figure out which jokes work and which works don't. But hey, all humor is subjective, right?

Plus: why Scary Movie 2 couldn't be made today, how the film and its humor have aged, its incredibly rushed production timeline and (of course) all the praise for Anna Faris and Regina Hall.

Freeway (1996) Feb 24, 2021

Show notes

This week, in honor of trick baby Trace's birthday, we're delving into Matthew Bright's Freeway (1996), a "white trash" exploitation/rape revenge/little red riding hood genre mash-up starring a very foul mouthed Reese Witherspoon and predatory perv Kiefer Sutherland. Content warning: pedophilia, sexual assault, suicide and racism.

We discuss the stacked cast, the line between satire, parody and offensive humor, and the film's surprisingly smart class critique. Plus: Trace's favorite lines, Joe's difficulty divorcing the film from recent events and Brooke Shields' earrings! This is basically "genre whiplash, the movie" - it's A LOT and it's amazing.

The Taking of Deborah Logan (2014) Feb 17, 2021

Show notes

On this week's episode, we're digging up queer writer/director Adam Robitel's found footage shocker The Taking of Deborah Logan!

After discussing the tropes of the found footage sub-genre, we'll discuss Robitel's ties to the Paranormal Activity franchise, and how this film does and doesn't stand out from its peers.

We'll also try to answer the most common questions brought up in discussions of the film: is the conflation of mental illness with possession offensive? Should the film have steered away from using First Nations/Indigenous practices as a plot point? (Why can't it just be a white person murder ritual, Karen?) and should more be made about Sarah's sexuality?

Plus: old lady possession vs hot young girl possession (paging Jennifer Carpenter!), snake wrangler sex jokes, concerns about the number of attics in a single house and, of course, lezzing out over Sarah and Sheriff Tweedy.

And of course: our thoughts on that money shot scene.

My Bloody Valentine (1981) Feb 10, 2021

Show notes

Just in time for Singles Awareness Day, we're losing our hearts to the 1981 Canadian slasher, My Bloody Valentine...or at least Joe is. Trace is more lukewarm on the George Mihalka film, which suffers from an uninspired villain reveal and too many characters.

We discuss the size (and deliciousness?) of hearts, why TJ's narrative is important for small town Nova Scotians, the cost of dirtying up a mine and Joe's strange personal connection to one of the film's actors.

Plus: love triangles, the film's censorship woes, Scream Factory gore and Scooby Doo antics. Happy Valentine's Day, everybody!
