Kill By Kill: Talking Horror Characters One Death At A Time

Latest Episodes:

Fade To Black (w/ Sam Zimmerman) Oct 02, 2020

Show notes

It’s October and that means it’s time to take our love of scary movies too far, starting with the recently resurrected thriller FADE TO BLACK! Here to help us examine every detail is someone who knows a thing or two about horror, the Head of Programming for Shudder - Sam Zimmerman!! Along the way, we talk bad back rubs, we wonder why Eric dons a cartoon cat's zoot suit, wonder what people do with Ritz crackers in bed, and consider if Aunt Mom is secretly part of the Fast & Furious universe. All that, plus we play a classic game of Choose Your Own Deathventure, and Patrick proposes several dynamic death scenarios that could be great marketing Shudder! Settle in for a great conversation about a true cult classic.

Dish By Dish S1 Ep6 Entrée (w/ Clint Worthington) Sep 25, 2020

Show notes

The time has come to have an old friend for dinner! That’s right, EIC of The Spool, cohost of Travolta/Cage and Returning Champion Clint Worthington, joins Dish By Dish to help us dig into Hannibal episode 7, Entrée! Along the way, we talk Tattlecrimes web design issues, what it takes to get the cover of Psychiatrists Weekly, ask what grapes are hiding and how will it harm us, and we wonder why we don’t judge more serial killers by their looks. Plus, we have a location-based Choose Your Own Deathventure to debate, and Patrick decides to change the focus of the podcast at the very end of the episode to snake movies. Also, he’s bad at it… my mis-snake.

Interview with Director Jeremy Kasten Sep 22, 2020

Show notes

It's a mid-week b-b-bonus episode, people! Patrick catches up with his old friend and Returning Champion, Jeremy Kasten! (The Attic Expeditions, The Thirst, The Theater Bizarre, The Wizard of Gore) Along the way, we get into his new film, The Dead Ones (available Sept. 29th from Kino Lorber Home Video), we talk about how sleaze and art in Baltimore shaped his tastes, which hip hop legend he helped with their first acid trip, how he navigated the indie movie scene in Los Angeles, and how he ended up on a farm in Maine. It's two pals talking horror, the movie industry, and worshipping Jeffery Combs. Check it out, and look for Jeremy's films on Blu-ray soon!

Mikey (w/ Becky Wilson) Sep 18, 2020

Show notes

Murder? Mikey likes it!! Our trilogy of killer kids reaches its apex with 1992’s MIKEY - a film that exists! Here to help us understand young, villainous minds is Returning Champion, Becky Wilson! We admit it - we don’t have much of a plot breakdown here. What we do have is LOTS of questions, like: What is a Raccoon Yamaka? Is a full body stocking too risqué for the hot tub? Why did we see so much of Freddy Krueger’s torso on film? Is Ashley Lawerence taking Heather Langenkamp’s hair volume crown? How many adults with terrible instincts were involved in Brian Bonsall’s lead performance? Finally, a new edition of Choose Your Own Death-venture emerges from the shadows and we also wonder aloud if this movie part of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise? The answers will frighten you in a way this movie WILL NOT!

Dish By Dish S1 Ep5 "Coquilles" Sep 11, 2020

Show notes

Bringing new meaning to the phrase “Ripped From The Headlines,” in Episode 5, Coquilles takes flight on wings of… skin. Wings of backfat? We dunno... It’s gross and great in equal measure! Patrick & Gena hoist themselves into this new episode to discuss Hannibal finally visiting New Jersey, Will’s dire sleepwear collection, the horror of motel sheets, and person-sniffing etiquette. Then we learn all about weird and delicious foods and why saying yes isn't always the best move, and then we decide where we want to get "blood eagle'd" so it's a real normal one!

Damien: The Omen 2 (w/ Wynter Mitchell) Sep 04, 2020

Show notes

Thank Satan it's Friday! It's time for some Antichrist-sploitation on Kill By Kill as we talk 1978's Damien: The Omen 2 with the help of writer & podcaster Wynter Mitchell (Waiting To X-hale podcast). Along the way, we debate why the Thorn family thinks it's a good idea to have more kid's birthday parties considering their record, enjoy some Obvious Dummy Deaths, debate the business strategy of famine for profit, and yearn for some 70s sex on fur coats. We also cut deep into a new edition of Choose Your Own Death-venture and decide which way out is more "Nordbergian." You won't want to miss it, so download it like it's an old man driving down to the port for lunch!

Dish By Dish S1 Ep4 "Oeuf" Aug 28, 2020

Show notes

The saying, “You can pick your friends, but you can’t choose your family,” is put to a very dire test in this week’s episode of DISH BY DISH: A Hannibal Rewatch project. Gena & Patrick are pushed to the brink by an episode that tears apart the fabric of what it means to be a family, and they are left reeling as a result. Every question leads to a more depressing answer - and it’s so compelling that you simply can’t turn away! We do try to find moments of levity along the way as we discuss our reactions to Hannibal’s constant “mystery meat” offerings, consider dropping ’shrooms with a therapist, and debate what Dr. Lecter’s novelty t-shirt collection might contain. It’s either laugh or cry time, people.

Wolf (w/ Patrick H. Willems) Aug 21, 2020

Show notes

Okay everybody - it’s time to class up this joint! Let’s talk CINEMA. Let’s discuss the least likely Mike Nichols film of all time, 1994’s WOLF with Jack Nicolson & Michelle “White Gold” Pfeiffer. And just to ensure we take it seriously, we’re joined by filmmaker & premiere YouTube video essayist Patrick H. Willems!! Secure your monocles cause they’re about to pop out of your eye!! Along the way, we ask if James Spader's character satisfies his lovers, consider what Richard Jenkins was like as a baby, evaluate what it must be like for two of the biggest movie stars in the world to eat PB&Js on camera, and wonder if becoming a wolf is a solid anti-depressant. Plus, we surprise Patrick Willems with an extended discussion of Edward James Olmos’ wang! Also, we have a very urbane edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure, and we pitch Sydney Pollack’s Invisible Man!

Dish By Dish S1 Ep3 "Potage" Aug 14, 2020

Show notes

Never has "meat and veg" cooked together to form a thick, hot mush been so appetizing as it is in episode 3 of DISH BY DISH - A Hannibal Rewatch Project! This week, it’s flirting by the spoonful as Gena reveals the actual pronunciation of Mads, we imagine the Looney Tunes version of Hannibal’s hunger is like, and we confront the show’s Freddie Lounds problem - her comments section. Plus, we ask if the FBI actually operates in the state of Minnesota, and we try to gauge our enthusiasm for the new CBS prime time series, Clarice. Let’s stir the pot together!!
