    350) X (2022)
    Feb 28 2026
    1979: A youthful group of pornographers shooting a "farmer's many daughters" adult film on an isolated farm are besieged by the passing of time in the form of a reclusive, exceptionally-horny septuagenarian who can't get hers unless they get theirs first! We discuss director Ti West's accidental start to a trilogy, the rousing bloodletting, the genial cast of characters, and of course: father time (with blood spatter) - and much, much more! We are joined on this excursion into murderous smut by listener/viewer Lee Taylor of Buzzy Film Productions. Link: / @buzzyfilmproductions

    349) GIALLO (2009)
    Feb 22 2026
    Adrien Brody puts his nose to the grindstone as a detective out to stop a yellow-skinned, mad killer who is abducting females by way of his taxi in Dario Argento's Giallo from 2009, featuring Brody in a dual role and... Not much else according to at least three of us. We discuss the film's lack of signature Argento-isms, whether or not it is a giallo, Adrien Brody's court case against the producers, and much more! Also, the ghost of Skype has infiltrated our new recording digs, making completion of the episode about as difficult as sitting through this movie!

    348) HOMICIDAL (1961)
    Jan 31 2026
    William Castle channels his inner Hitchcock with this sordid tale of selfish relatives (re: inheritance plot) and gender bending minutiae; it's 1961's Homicidal, featuring a lead pulling double duty, bad teeth, and a gimmicky fright break. It's also our 15th birthday, so we've collectively surpassed Erik's mental age by a couple of spins around the sun. We discuss the obvious (though unintentional?) riffs on Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960), the labyrinthine murder plot, decapitated mutes, fright break theater experiences, and much, much more!

    347) RETURN TO SLEEPAWAY CAMP (2008)
    Jan 24 2026
    Robert Hiltzik returns to camp (literally?) with his legacy sequel to the OG Sleepaway Camp (1983) with 2008's (shot in 2003) Return To Sleepaway Camp, featuring a handful of returning characters mixing it up with a new generation of snotty campers in a tale of bullies - and the bullied - getting offed at summer camp by a mysterious (ha) psychopath. We discuss the human manifestation of sewage, Alan (the film's inexplicable lead character), what type of film Hiltzik was trying to make, the film's slew of over the top murders, and of course the film's best kept secret: the identity of the killer, so spoilers aplenty!

    346) IT'S A WONDERFUL KNIFE (2023)
    Jan 2 2026
    Twas a few days after Christmas, and all through the house, nary a Justin was stirring, that sick little louse. We're again Justinless but are joined by friend of the show and Supporting Characters host Bill Ackerman to discuss alternate (and murderous) holiday realities in It's A Wonderful Knife (2023). We discuss the film's take on an old formula, where it sits in the recent spate of hybrid slashers, the surprising amount of character warmth, and much more!

    345) MARDI GRAS MASSACRE (1978)
    Nov 27 2025
    One of our shortest shows ever, and we're working at 75% capacity and doing a bit of time travel recording for 1978's Big Sleazy slasher, Mardi Gras Massacre, with a killer sacrificing "evil" women to an Aztec God. If you've ever wanted to see a movie where Chinese food sets the wheels of would-be justice in motion, this is your flick. We discuss the film's overlong (and inept structure), its curious cast of characters, its status as a victim of the infamous video nasties, and much, much more!

    344) MURDER IN LAW (1989)
    Nov 30 2025
    We discuss familial intricacies and Three Stooges-esque pie fight gags in this episode centered around a mother from hell in a film that feels like it was written in hell, 1989's Murder In Law, a From Hell/Slasher hybrid that sees Joe Estevez get a visit from his long, terminally lost mother, who immediately takes a disliking to his family. We discuss the film's strange - many, many strange - narrative choices, Joe Estevez' mid-film disappearing act, we wait on breaking news from Bluesky as it relates to one cast member while also discussing this character in depth, and much, much more!

    343) THE POOL (2001)
    Nov 23 2025
    Put on your swim trunks, we're taking a dip in The Pool (2001), the post-Scream tale of students at a prestigious Prague high school who decide to get nice and wet for their graduation party, soon finding themselves in the deep end with a machete-toting maniac in a skull mask. We discuss the film's slick death scenes, its Euro sensibilities, the storied (but all too real) sequel that never got a release (do you wanna know a secret? it does exist!), and much, much more!
