  • THE WAVES OF MADNESS
    May 8 2025

    Once the most derided type of film adaptation, video game movies have been seeing a renaissance as of late. So what better time to borrow the conventions of a once-derided medium to tell a story all your own? In this Mini-BOP, Mike and Jamie gush about the new film by genre filmmaker Jason Trost, The Waves of Madness, the world’s first side-scrolling motion picture. With a premise that could have outstayed its welcome in minutes, Waves draws you in with its loving pastiche of PS1-era survival horror, and keeps you with a sincere Lovecraftian mystery at sea, with the best monster design we’ve seen all year. You’ll never look at load screen monologues the same way again!

  • NOSFERATU (2024)
    Jan 11 2025

    Now that Father Time has allowed one more year to pass, and Santa has been banished to his ice prison until next solstice, it's time to visit our favorite memory from this holiday season: Nosferatu, AKK Robert Eggers Presents "This Ain't Dracula: A XXX Symphony of Horror." Stalk the stone paths of turn-of-the-century Germany alongside The BOP Suitors as Lilly Rose-Depp's star-making performance ties together an all-star cast, including Bill Skarsgaard at his most uncanny, Willem Dafoe at his most grave, Nicolas Hoult at his most dandy, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson at his most obsessed with his wife. Along their stroll they'll discuss the appeal of the Nosferatu iteration of familiar vampire lore and how Eggers plays with those expectations, rank the stars of Dracula Cinema by their fashion and sex appeal, and scour forgotten lore to determine how exactly Orlok traveled by boat to a landlocked country.

  • BEG (2011) Commentary Track (A Big-Ass Pumpkin Day Extravaganza)
    Oct 14 2024

    Scoop out the guts, carve out the eyes, scoop out the guts... oh, hello there! Dont mind me, just preparing the family's plus-sized gourd for Big-Ass Pumpkin Day, the only remaining holiday Hallmark hasn't gotten its grubby fingers on! This year's attraction is a slasher movie so you better believe we found it on Tubi, 2011's Beg. Its the provocative story of a small-town cop and his favorite clone batch tracking down a serial killer with a pumpkin on his head, murder on his mind, and... a shifting ethnicity? What? Join the crew for a commentary as murky as the woods this was filmed in, where Tony Todd finds himself entangled in middle-American domestic drama and also a stab man, they spend a bold amount of time discussing sexual awakenings via the Slenderverse, and Cody once again makes an ungodly mess on his desk in the name of spookiness.

    BUY A ROUND FOR DET. SHOTGUN CIGAR.

  • DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE
    Aug 3 2024

    It is 2006. I am watching Hugh Jackman's last appearance as Wolverine. It is 2017. I am watching Hugh Jackman's last appearance as Wolverine. It is 2024. I am writing a description of the BOP crew's episode on Deadpool & Wolverine, the former's introduction to the MCU, and the latter's last dance with a beloved actor... who are we kidding, he's doing this till he's 90. Does Ryan Reynolds still bring the Van Wilder charm as Marvel's new golden boy, or is it too late for the Multiverse Saga: Now With Less Kang? How does a character often defined by an inferiority complex work as a mouthpiece for a dying era of film? And just how hard did those credits make us cry? Wade wouldn't give you answers, so neither are we.

    Hey... remember when Deadpool's caption boxes ended up being Madcap? Wild times!

  • HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS
    Jul 14 2024

    With studios less sure how to reach audiences by the day, only one film has the answer to what people truly want: HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS. In the newest movie from Mike Cheslik and the team behind Lake Michigan Monster bring us a new descent into whimsy and madness in a film so ridiculous, we're convinced it stars Cody. Join Mike and Jamie as they talk about this delirious swirl of live action cartoon, silent(ish) movie, harrowing survival tale, XXX-ed jugs ,and 16-bit farming sim (not kidding), HUB might be the most creative movie of the year, the funniest movie were seen in ages, and without a doubt the best movie ever made on the subject of man's battle against mascot suits.

  • THE EXORCISM
    Jul 13 2024

    What an excellent day for filming an exorcism. THE Exorcism, in fact! And that's the closest thing to a joke you're getting, because the duo behind The Final Girls is back with another deeply personal-- and far much colder-- look at a young woman connecting with a parent in showbiz. Joshua Miller and M.A. Fortin team up with Russell Crowe and a seemingly endless list of character actors to tell the story of a newly-sober man trying to get himself on the right track by taking what could be the role of his career, the priest in a remake of a famous exorcism movie, no matter what demons from his past it may awaken. Unable to win respect at home or on set, dodging a well-intentioned holy man, a director more interested in getting a rise out of him than his acting, and an alleged "curse" that's already claimed one actor, it's the perfect environment for a man to lose himself... or be found.

  • Millennial Nasties + TERRIFIER 1&2 with Ariel Powers-Schaub
    Jun 1 2024

    They're on the screens! They're in your home! They SHOULD be on your mind! Extreme cinema, exploitation, video nasties, whatever you call them, they take theaters by storm once every generation, and tonight we're wringing this moral panic for all it's worth! With the help of returning guest Ariel Powers-Schaub, the BOP Crew charts how the films detailed in her new book Millennial Nasties took inspiration from the gross-out cinema of the eighties to define the torture porn of the 2000's, before a chat about how those boundary-pushing themes are alive in the current king of modern nasties, Terrifier 2. Tangents along the way include Film Theory: Art The Clown Edition, a brief meeting of the May Canady Appreciation Society, and the secret origin of The Sham Wow Guy.

    Millennial Nasties can be pre-ordered directly from Encyclopocalypse in eBook and Print at www.encyclopocalypse.com (BuyHorrorBooks.com) On on September 17th, 2024 it will also be available from your favorite bookseller. The audiobook version will be available exclusively from Audible or Apple Books.

  • SPEEDardy!
    May 5 2024
    Surprise test, hothead! Just when the BOP crew thought they could enjoy some much-needed R&R, they're pulled away from their vacation to stop a madman threatening to destroy everything we hold dear: their co-host! Welcome to SPEEDARDY, the game show where the velocity is made up and the pedestrians don't matter, organized by Quizmaster Cody to test the limits of his friends' knowledge of the Jan de Bont crowd-pleaser... if only they had actually watched the movie beforehand. Will Mike get the girl, or will it be Jamie who discovers how few relationships based on intense experiences ever work out? Will we learn why Willem Dafoe needs a bathtub of leeches to fight off his Computer Sickness? Will ANY of this actually circle back to the 1994 blockbuster Speed?! Probably not.
