Ewoks, ET, Football and Phone Sex: 976-Evil (1988)
Monday Jan 22, 2024
Monday Jan 22, 2024
Robert Englund, Freddy Krueger himself, took the time to make this movie so it would be insane for us to not talk about it. So we do. Here it is.
If you want to hear pontification on Englund's childhood or his boob preference, this is the perfect episode for you.

Monday Jan 15, 2024
Monday Jan 15, 2024
Join us this week as we desperately try to navigate talking about the Takashi Miike classic, Audition, without saying anything inappropriate.
We almost make it.
We also discuss sex comedies, nazis, Promising Young Woman, and the Japanese breakthrough movies of the late-90s/early-2000s.
Audition was chosen by one of our Patreons - if you want to influence future picks and get access to loads of additional content, join us in The Wasteland Resort now.

Nee naw, nee naw, here comes the punk police and we're investigating Jeremy Saulnier's punks-in-a-bad-situation nightmare, Green Room.

Foetus in the moonlight: Pumpkinhead (1988)
Monday Jan 01, 2024
Monday Jan 01, 2024
This week, we go hard on the genius of Lance Henriksen, Stan Winston, and classic creature features of the 80s and beyond as we discuss the era-defining, underappreciated joy that is Pumpkinhead.
Along the ride, we also discuss Michale Graves-era Misfits, Insane Clown Posse, and somehow end up plotting out our alternative take on Home Alone 2.

Monday Dec 25, 2023
Monday Dec 25, 2023
It's Christmas so we're digging into a classic of the festive horror canon, Bob Clark's Black Christmas.
We get into it on holiday horror, phrogging, unreliable narrators and also Goonies.
If you ever wondered which classic 70s punk band represents Black Christmas - this episode is for you.

Giving sermons and laying pipe: The Devils (1971)
Monday Dec 18, 2023
Monday Dec 18, 2023
This week we're talking about Ken Russell's church and state fever dream The Devils. A very silly serious movie about real issues that straddles so many different lines. It's a fun one. We also talk about Elvis, Barbie, and Randy Quaid as Frankenstein.
Three questions we ask ourselves this week:
- Is it blasphemous because it's good or is it good because it's blasphemous?
- Can you make a case for this being a Christmas movie?
- Is there anything more decadent than a French king?

The brain equivalent of body horror: Bug (2006)
Monday Dec 11, 2023
Monday Dec 11, 2023
This week, we're getting truly weird in a tiny hotel room with Michael Shannon and Ashley Judd, as we talk Bug. Things get all kinds of nuts as we dig into people's theories about the subtext, Sam gives us a different read on Titanic, and we pose the question: what happens when you get between daddy and daddy?
Three kinds of people get ripped to shreds in this episode:
- People who are anti-sex scenes
- People who take this movie at face value
- Michael Buble

Up, up, up the depravity: Street Trash (1987)
Monday Dec 04, 2023
Monday Dec 04, 2023
Right folks, chug the last of that Tenafly Viper and let's get anarchic. We're talking Street Trash, a gooey, icky, melty, mucky slice of New York underground filmmaking.
Filled with iconic gore effects and dubious character choices, the big question is: is it any good? We'll tell you, slowly over the course of 90ish minutes.
Also, drinking stories.
