We’re so sorry, Uncle Robert…
This week’s film is really something. We’re joined this week by Dan and Brian from The Goods (www.thegoodsfilmpodcast.com), and we discuss a very unique piece of Amazon Prime low budget horror fare: Robert (2015). This may actually be the worst film we’ve ever reviewed on the podcast, but we manage to have a lot of fun with it. And wouldn’t you know it, there’s also a whole rabbit hole of sequels to explore. Robert giveth, and Robert taketh away. Come explore the Robert Cinematic Universe with us!

You know we had to do it to em. If last week’s episode was king size, this one is bite size. A quick bite, that is. That’s right, we’re talking about Quibi this week: all of our favorite shows as well as some non-favorites, as well as our thoughts on the shortcomings of the format. We also talk about our quest to watch as many horror movies as we can during October, and about the extended Night of the Living Dead universe. Come, have a quick bite with us!

We are back for another king size Halloween movie episode. This week we’re talking two very different kinds of horror: Sam Raimi’s bloody and gooey Drag Me to Hell and the almost too real cult found footage film The Poughkeepsie Tapes. Join us as we wax nostalgic about the internet and horror in the mid 2000s, fall further down the Saw and Dr. Pepper rabbit hole, and get ready for another spooky Halloween season!

We thought we were done with Saw but it turns out Saw wasn’t done with us. On this very special 50th episode, we attempt what was hitherto thought impossible: watching all eight Saw movies in one massive marathon. You’re along for the ride as we give our reactions to each movie, as well as recap our ever declining mental state as we struggle to make it through. There will be crying, there will be singing, and oh yes, there will be blood.

We’re back with a vengeance! This week we delve further into Rock of Ages (2012), and what makes it such a magical object of obsession. We also encounter a demon who lives in your phone with Countdown, and a reluctant half-vampire who is also the world’s most boring teenager in Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant. For once, we’re not the only freaks around. Come get freaky with us!

We finish off our deep dive into Neveldine/Taylor territory this week with a discussion of the pair’s final film, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. There’s lots of fire, decay, demons, and Nicolas Cage insanity here, as well as the classic Neveldine/Taylor visual style. Throttle up, grab a glass of jelly beans, and join us for a wild ride!

This week we delve further into the Neveldine/Taylor filmography with 2009’s Gamer. This is a strange film with exceptional amounts of sex and violence that nonetheless has a lot to say about society, and seems to have aged surprisingly well. We also cover Matt’s gradual descent into insanity as the film Rock of Ages (2012) consumes his very soul. Don’t get played, check out this week’s Buzzed on Movies!

We’re back, and this week we’re talking about something new that isn’t horror! This week kicks off our new series on the highly idiosyncratic directing duo Neveldine/Taylor, beginning with their best known films: Crank (2006) and Crank 2: High Voltage (2009). Get ready for high octane action, ridiculous stunts, ludicrous characters, and some of the strangest action scenes ever set to film. In other words, get ready to Crank it!

And so it comes down to this: our final Halloween episode. This week we’re covering Rob Zombie’s contributions to the franchise, Halloween (2007) and Halloween 2 (2009). Both follow the basic story of the franchise while adding a whole lot of that trademark Rob Zombie flair. Get ready for crazy characters, filthy dialogue, and a whole lot of redneck rock-n-roll carnival weirdness!

We’re still on Halloween this week, this time discussing Halloween H20: 20 Years Later and Halloween: Resurrection. These are two very different movies, the former marking a return to the tone and characters that made the original so effective, while the latter is just pure zaniness. We have a lot of fun with both in their own way, and we hope you will too!

About Us
We're a couple of former projectionists who still enjoy practically living at the movie theater even though we don't work there anymore. We believe that movies are about the communal experience, sharing what you love and not getting too hung up on what you don't. We also believe there's no better way to share our love of movies than over a couple drinks, and we hope you'll come along for the ride!
