Show notes

Every now and then a movie is set in Wisconsin, created by a man on a majestic cocktail of drugs, and somehow manages to simultaneously grapple with gender and atomic horror.

Show notes

It's Ash's yearly birthday pick and, as always, it was a coin toss between goofy b-movie mayhem and experimental weirdness. We got lucky and they chose both!

306 - The Lost Halloween Jordan Peele Trilogy Review Preview Jan 23, 2024

Show notes

Last Halloween, your ghosts, I mean hosts, recorded a 3 hour Jordan Peele trilogy review which was nearly lost. However, archivists studying the Crypt's microbiomes stumbled upon The Lost Hard-drive containing this very episode! The flow of time itself is convoluted, with episodes centuries old phasing in and out.

304 - The Abominable Dr. Phibes (Saw and its Precursors) Jan 16, 2024

Show notes

Dr. Phibes is one of Vincent Price's most visually iconic characters, but what does that mean for an actor whose popular presence is bound up with his roles? Is that an organ in your body or are you just happy to become libidinally annihilationist? AND WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH JOHN KRAMER AND THE SAW MOVIES JUST WHEN WE THINK WE'VE DONE THEM ALL HISTORY REALIGNS AND NEW PATTERNS BECOME EVIDENT IN THE ETERNAL TAPESTRY OF ART? We've gone too long without a Vincent Price movie.
