We’re changing TGIF to Thank God It’s Urkel!! That’s right, we’re returning to the TV Terrors well for a second week and with a major guest: Director of Scare Me and Werewolves Within and the star of A Wounded Fawn, out now on Shudder, the one the only Josh Ruben! And what better use of his time than to watch and talk about an 8th-season episode of Family Matters entitled STEVIL? Along the way, we discuss the horror of ventriloquist dummies, bored deities, tailoring puppet clothing, the stage version of Lethal Weapon, secret bongs, and the etiquette of living with your stalker! All this, plus we measure a character’s strength on a scale from John Cena to Hulk With No Bulk, and play a sitcom-friendly version of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! Don’t touch that dial, people!!

TV Terrors vol 1. Baywatch Nights Dec 09, 2022

Show notes

Tune in and drop dead! That’s right, we’re flipping the channel on our off-week shows and programming a block of the weirdest TV TERRORS we can find. This week, run in slow motion with us as an attempt to rescue the Baywatch Nights episode “Space Spore!” This was season 2 of Baywatch Nights when they switched from a sexy detective show to a not-too-sexy X-Files rip-off. Along the way, we talk about Lou Rawls again, evaluate paranormal midriffs, consider the very valid science of decapitated rat paw collections, debate improv-based detective work, and one of the worst line readings ever recorded. All this plus Day-Glo juice burps, revelatory phone calls, and the single worst escape attempt of all time! Your nights will never be the same after this episode!!

Smile (2022) Dec 02, 2022

Show notes

Smile and the whole world screams with you! That’s right, we’re showing teeth and talking about the biggest horror hit of the fall, SMILE!! Along the way, we dig into how the film both explores and exploits mental health, why this just might be the most J-Horror film not filmed in Japan, and the relief you feel when you give up on something stupid and come clean about how the film triggered our own struggles. All this, plus a grizzly Choose Your Own Deathventure, and we wonder why the past crop of horror flicks brought audiences back to theaters! Grin and bear it with us today, won’t you?

CW: This episode, as does the movie, delves into the subject of both mental health and suicide.

Never fear - new episodes of Kill By Kill are made available every other Friday! Dish By Dish: A Hannibal Rewatch on the Fridays in-between.

Show notes

In Space, no one could hear my son flinch! That’s right - we’re returning to the Nostromo for a special episode of Kill By Kill, revisiting the 1979 sci-fi horror classic ALIEN! Along for this terrifying ride through deep space is Patrick’s son, Oliver, for his first watch. So, like any caring parent, Patrick has shoved a mic in front of his child’s face to ask him what he thinks about xenomorph biology, giving alcohol to your small children, cute dogs in costumes, bad milk robots, how cool “Arnold Shnottsinator” is, and the charming, bone-filled backstory of H.R. Giger!! It's entertaining AND educational!!

This episode of the Kill By Kill podcast is brought to you in part by PEARL!

Barbarian (2022) Nov 04, 2022

Show notes

Come on over and stay a while. A long while. That’s right - we’re talking about one of the fall’s horror phenoms, BARBARIAN, on Kill By Kill!! And don’t worry, we go spoiler-free to start before we get deep into this remarkable flick. Along the way, we talk about the ABRs, why using your expectations against you is the ultimate flex, compare and contrast cinemas' many bad listeners, the convenience of pre-fab murder basements, and celebrate the connection between comedy and horror. All this, plus a smashing edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure, and find the film’s truest allegory: dating in 2022. Come for the night, stay forever with us, won’t you?

Marshell’s pajama game. All this, plus we bug out on Choose Your Own Deathventure and end up deciding what body parts we’d collect in jars. Yep. That’s the kind of episode this is, people.

Creepshow vol 4 (w/ J. Blake Fichera) Oct 21, 2022

Show notes

There’s a whole lot to unpack on this week’s episode of Kill By Kill as we unlock vol. 4 of CREEPSHOW and discuss The Crate with Scored To Death author and documentarian J. Blake Fichera! Along the way, we consider the coding of Henry and Dexter’s relationship, expound upon the actual nature of boxed Yeti powers, pour ourselves some Booze Milk, then consider who qualifies as a “sack of wet,” and debate whether The Crate Creature is actually the second half of a Strangers On A Train-like murder swap! All this, plus a fantasy-infused edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure, and Billie introduces the world to the Pittsburg Laverne! "Open up and say AAHHH!!!" with us today!!
