  • Combobox - S1E14 - Haunted #Wrestling Gimmicks (#WWE/#WCW/#AEW/Indy)
    Dec 18 2020

    Note: This episode was recorded prior to the passing of Pat Patterson.

    In this new episode of the Combobox, Brannyk and Payne talk old school, new school, underground school of spooky wrastlin’. Payne teaches the filthy casual about some badass dudes and ladies who pushed the boundaries of professional wrestling, while Brannyk is inspired by edgy music and believes more in wrestler teleportation than Santa.

    Welcome to a no holds barred, powerbombing, chairshotting, wheelin’ dealin’ son of a podcast!

    Although we cut our discussion of Pat Patterson out since it was a teaser into a follow up that is no longer happening, we do highly recommend Pat’s book. If you buy it from this link, we do get a bit of $ but the point is the history behind the man.

  • Combobox - S1E12 - Halloween Erotica Jam Session (Explicit)
    Oct 22 2020

    Hey everyone, Jimbo here -- this session gets pretty raunchy so if you are offended by rats pleasuring themselves or people with hook hands pleasuring themselves or just pleasuring themselves in general, this is NOT your episode. If you think any of the above might be fun to hear (it was fun to hear and this is probably the gang's best work together with some Awesomesauce editing/score work by Brannyk) then sit on back and get your ears and grey cells prepared for the ass-salt (yeup, that pun is the pretest). OH! And if you like this -- drop us a line. We really might publish the 'half finished' book...

    Wowie wow, what a treat for the Halloween season! Brannyk, Voodoo Priestess, and Audrey III spice things up with an halloween erotica Write Off sesh.

    Chosen at random, our writers will get things steamy for this Halloween season, or perhaps some of our favorite monsters might find love! With unlikely pairings, star-crossed lovers, and all the teenage drama, how can you go wrong with this amazing podcast.

    So, sit back, light some candles, sacrifice a virgin, and prepare to be abducted by the super duper hot and sultry words of some of your favorite writers at Haunted MTL.

  • ComboBox - S1E10 - Childhood Fears, revisited
    Sep 13 2020

    Welcome to this completely not-dated ComboBox, with J.M. Brannyk and Dave Davis, author of The Dead Life and online comic creator! In this episode, they go back, waaaay back, into their earliest childhood memories and find their darkest fears. Or weirdest childhood fears.

     

    Marvel at Brannyk's baby neuroticism!. Gasp in wonder as Dave explains the magic words to stop any tickling hand! Clap your hands to the beat of their 90's Stranger Danger totally-real-and-not-clickbait rap duet!

     

    Come slip back into the subconscious of your very own deep, long-forgotten nightmares of monsters under the bed, in the closet, and on the smooth jazz station.

     

    Also, Neil Diamond!!!

     

    Not with us in the podcast, but, like, with us in spirit and in song.

  • The ComboBox - S1E9 - Shed, Torturer Shudder, Ferris Bueller has a bad day
    Aug 30 2020
    The Shed and the Torturer

     

    In this special ComboBox el Jefe himself, Jim Phoenix, joins up with JM Brannyk to discuss to screeners that fell into their laps. First from Little Sparks Films, we get into short film The Torturer then, after a very small break, Brannyk and Phoenix launch into another spoiler-free preview Frank Sabatella's The Shed as shown on Shudder.

     

    There is a deep dive into the psychology of torture for the short film and our hapless heroes discover the real inspiration behind the Shed is none other than...Ferris Bueller.

     

    The Shed (streaming on Shudder) and 'The Torturer'. We discuss this SPOILER-FREE, please come and congratulate us for this. Payne hijacks the system for his craptastic input. Jim calls for more chunk in physical horror, while Brannyk would like to see more of the rat in 'The Torturer' and Ike the dog in 'The Shed'. They discuss how gross they would be if tortured (very). And also manage to kick around LGBTQ inclusion within horror, especially coming-of-age. You won't want to miss this special edition, complete with teenage angst, delicious practical effects, and spilling the tea about our co-workers.
