KBK Bite Size vol 4 Cat's Eye Jul 14, 2023

Show notes

This week on Kill By Kill Bite Size, we hail to the King, baby! Stephen King that is - as we steal away inside 1985’s CAT’S EYE to steal the breath away from the classic cat v. Troll epic, “General.” Along the way, we delve into Candy Clark’s unique mom-core fits, explore standard troll operating procedures, consider which serial killers can climb stairs, track children’s bedrooms with fireplaces, revisit skeleton hugs, and Patrick complains about the Boy Scout Jamboree again. All this, plus we delve into the unlikely connections between Stephen King’s General, Sleepwalkers, and Doctor Sleep, and Dino DeLaurentis stops by the show to describe what Moms are like in the mid-80s!! Let this funny and charming episode steal your breath away today!!

A Nightmare On Elm Street vol 1 (w/ Halle Kiefer) Jul 07, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to Primetime... again! Kill By Kill’s journey into the dark heart of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (1984) restarts here with the help of the one and only Halle Kiefer (of Ruined! with Allison & Halle) to help us claw our way through the first 30 minutes! Along the way, we discuss flooded boiler rooms, delve into how much of Freddy is actually made of goo, debate whether or not Freddy wears sweatpants, and ponder why America has a near-endless love for cartoon cats. All this, plus we play a game of Choose Your Own WOUNDventure, wonder what happened to all the iron lungs, and meet our first few "Terrible Parents of Elm Street!!" If you hoped we would talk about Freddy Krueger again - your dream just came true!!

NOTE: This is a replacement for our original ANOES vol. 1 - only it's funnier and has a much cooler guest. ENJOY!

KBK Bite Size vol 3 Night Train To Terror Jun 30, 2023

Show notes

Remember when we went gaga over Mary Lou? Or maybe a little tyke named Mikey? Well, get ready for us to become the internet’s biggest fans of the most incomprehensible horror anthology ever - 1985’s NIGHT TRAIN TO TERROR - and “The Case of Claire Hansen!!” Strap in as we try to make sense out of the truly senseless!! Witness breakdancing train angels!! An extended riff on Paula Abdul and MC Skat Kat’s undeniable sexual attraction!!Marvel at Richard Moll’s unearthly hairpiece!! Loose what’s left of your mind when you see a stop-motion Spider-man pile drive a mad monk into hell!! Does this sound bonkers?! You don’t know the half of it!! All this, plus a maddening Choose Your Own Deathventure, and we meet a whole new Son of Satan who’s evil enough to hang with the Third Reich but willing to scare a woman to death by nearly taking off his sock!! No, I’m not lying about that last part. You have to see this “motion picture” to believe it!!

SE7EN (7th Anniversary Special) Jun 23, 2023

Show notes

What better way to celebrate our seventh year of podcast excellence than to discuss David Fincher’s feel-good hit of 1995, SE7EN!! I can’t think of one, and it’s not for a lack of trying. Along the way, we explore the film’s ties to grime-core classics like SAW, consider stacking hot babies, debate if John Doe will get his security deposit money back, weigh just how bad of a cop Mills is, and wax rhapsodic at just how good David Fincher really is at making movies!! All this, plus we play a filthy and difficult edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure, and we yearn for the days when R. Lee Ermey would just yell at us for 45 minutes straight!! If there's an eighth deadly sin, it's missing this special anniversary... special. I've been writing these for nearly three-quarters of a decade now; they can't all be gold.

This episode of the Kill By Kill podcast is brought to you by the heart-pounding action thriller THE BLACK DEMON, starring Josh Lucas - now streaming on Redbox On Demand! An idyllic family vacation turns into a fight for survival when they encounter a ferocious megalodon shark that will stop at nothing to protect its territory. Stream THE BLACK DEMON instantly on Redbox today for the ultimate battle between humans and nature. Rated R. From Paramount Pictures. Please email us at killbykillpod@gmail.com with THE BLACK DEMON in the subject line for your chance to win a free digital rental!

KBK Bite Size vol 2 Creepshow 2 Jun 02, 2023

Show notes

That’s right - we’re back in the Creepshow business! Only this time, we’re talking about the best story of the bunch as we float along with The Raft from CREEPSHOW 2!! Along the way, we try to stay afloat of the film’s many production problems, track the oil blob’s burps and farts, pick apart the differences between Stephen King’s original short story and movie, waterproof joint transportation, blob consent, bad swimmers, human blood balloons, skeleton hugs, and a brief but gooey Choose Your Own Deathventure!! Come down to the lake with us and stay for a while, won't you?

Slaughter High (1986) May 26, 2023

Show notes

It’s April Fool’s Day in June… until 12 pm? Listen, the 1986 Euro-slasher SLAUGHTER HIGH has a lot of rules, and it likes to switch ‘em up as it goes, but Kill By Kill is up to the test. Along the way, we openly regret our Stockard Channing slander, struggle to remember which character is who, enjoy a solid skeleton scream, sleep it off in a brown velvet spaceship bed, celebrate an automotive #GetBunked, and take a real hot high school bath!! All this, plus an AP course-level edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure, and we declare one cast member a “Secret Mario!” It’s a reunion to dismember - so join us, won’t you?

This episode of the Kill By Kill podcast is brought to you in part by the new Quiver Distribution film, THE WRATH OF BECKY! That’s right - two years after escaping a savage attack on her family, Becky is attempting to rebuild her life. But when a brutish group called the Noble Men breaks into her new home and snatches her beloved dog Diego, she returns to her old ways to protect herself and get revenge. The Austin Chronicle declares it’s “Literally a bloody good time!” The Wrath of Becky, starring Lulu Wilson and Seann William Scott is available to stream now wherever you buy/rent movies!!

KBK Bite Size vol 1 Trilogy of Terror (1972) May 19, 2023

Show notes

Terrifying things come in small packages! Welcome one and all to our new off-week format, where we make a meal out of one story from a horror anthology - we call it Kill By Kill: Bite Size! This week, we bring home the standout segment from 1972’s TRILOGY OF TERROR entitled Amelia - but you know it better for its antagonist, the Zuni Fetish Doll!! Along the way, we talk about creating distance between yourself and a clingy Mom, Richard Matheson: Man of Many Ideas, explore all the insane wallpaper choices, consider Karen Black’s subtle acting choices, test market depression figurines, connect the dots between this segment and other 70s and 80s horror classics, and delve into the activities of this apartment’s many mice!!

Runaway (w/ Jordan Morris) May 12, 2023

Show notes

Are you ready to fight the horror of robots programmed to kill? Well, how about robots who can shoot guns but don’t possess a trigger finger? 1983's RUNAWAY is an acid-filled mechanical nightmare, and here to help us crack the code is writer (Bubble, Pop's Chock-lit Shoppe of Horrors) and beloved podcast host (Jordan Jessie GO) Jordan Morris!! Along the way, we attempt to decipher the film’s Store Brand location, comb through all the voluminous hair choices, compare toilet shenanigans, wag our tongues over Gene Simmons, introduce psychics into the robot war, and debate how heat-seeking bullets can be defeated with a candle! All this, plus we play a predictably robotic edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure and examine the explosive nature of bullet-surgery sex scenes!! It’s more fun than a mustache ride this week on Kill By Kill!!
