  • Swimfan (2002)
    Nov 5 2025

    "Tell me you love me. You don't have to mean it, but just say it"


    On today's episode, we're heading into November by revisiting a teen thriller remake of Fatal Attraction from the early 00s. Let's jump in the pool and try to stay out of the deep end, while we visit the movie, Swimfan (2002).


    This movie isn't exactly great, but I do my best to break down these characters and plot, and try to wrap my brain around whether or not if this movie succeeds in what it's trying to do. Ultimately, it's a soapy teen thriller, and not a whole lot more.

  • Hellbent (2004) with special guest Dave White
    Oct 29 2025

    "I wanted to see you shoot"


    On today's episode, we're closing out the Halloween season by pulling up and covering one of the only gay-themed slasher films there is, and we're heading out to the West Hollywood Halloween Parade as we cover Hellbent (2004). Joining me for this episode is fellow horror lover and podcaster, Dave White, from Bring Me The Axe! Podcast.


    We go all over the place with this episode, and talk about how this movie is both a relic of the time and not the best film, but also, that it was a cool way to see some sort of overt gay characters being hacked up in a horror movie.

  • Hell House LLC with special guest Travis McMaster
    Oct 22 2025

    "I'm in a better place"


    On today's episode, we're heading down to the new local haunt and trying to keep ourselves alive in the meantime, while we revisit the found footage classic Hell House LLC (2015). Joining me on today's episode is previous guest Travis McMaster.


    We talk about this fun, little found footage movie and how it has a fun Pennsylvania connection and talk about the fun that comes with local legends that we pass around oratorically. This is a fun episode right before Halloween, so grab some candy and join us as we talk about this fun little film :)

  • Halloweentown (1998)
    Oct 15 2025

    "Being normal is vastly overrated!"


    On today's episode, we're putting on our best costumes and boarding the mysterious flying bus filled with ghouls and goblins, as we revisit one of the most beloved Disney Channel Original Movies, Halloweentown (1998)


    The movie kind of speaks for itself and is beloved by many folks, so I chop it up about my own experience with this film, some of the things the movie is trying to teach the youngs who've seen it, and just how wacky these special effects are.

    "You keep it... for good luck"


    On today's episode, we're coming back to Earth as a fashionable ghost, causing some 90s mischief, and trying to help our family all at the same time, as we cover one of the penultimate Disney Channel Premiere Movies, Susie Q, starring the original US Pink Ranger herself, Amy Jo Johnson!!!


    Joining me for my episode today is long time listener and first-time guest, Venus O'Hara. We chop it up about this fun, little film, and go all over the place, but we had a good discussion and I hope you enjoy it for yourself!

  • The Midnight Meat Train (2008) with special guest Joseph Anthony Ruiz
    Oct 1 2025

    "She gave you three minutes. People whose work she doesn't like, she usually gives one."


    On today's episode, we're heading into the gritty subway system of New York City and doing some slicing and dicing while we cover an underseen splatter film from 2008, The Midnight Meat Train!! Joining me today is a new buddy of mine, Joseph, where we talk about defunct horror cable channels, what it's like in "the big city", and just how CGI bloody this movie really is!! You won't want to miss it.
