  • Episode 116 | The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
    Aug 13 2024

    🦴 There's no better time than the middle of August to rewatch original rural horror nightmare, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Having already done a previous episode where we covered the franchise, we figured the first movie's 50th anniversary year would be prime time to give it some individual care and attention. There's lots of new things to talk about here, and if you stick around til the end, we'll also nominate which characters we think were most deserving of death.

  • Episode 115 | StageFright (1987)
    Aug 6 2024

    🦉 We love 80s slashers, especially strange Italian ones that pretend to be set in the United States with fun thematic elements to them. In StageFright (or Aquarius, or Deliria, or Bloody Bird) an owl masked maniac goes on a murder rampage amidst a theatre production where the cast and crew have locked themselves inside a soundstage for the night. There's lots of fun to be had with this one, and if you stick around til the end, we'll also nominate which characters we think were most deserving of death.

  • Episode 111 | Raising Cain (1992)
    Jun 18 2024

    🛝 Raising Cain is an often forgotten and overlooked early 90s thriller from director Brian de Palma (Carrie, 1976). The film has gone on to amass its own small cult following over the decades, but we decided to cover it this week and were surprised to learn that de Palma had actually second guessed himself during post production, and assembled the film in a completely different order. Having watched two different cuts of the film, there's a lot to talk about with this one and the power of editing. Join us for a lively conversation, and stick around til the end where we'll also nominate which characters we think were most deserving of death.
