Enemy Territory (with Eric Walkuski)

Jan 31 2025 62 mins  
ENEMY TERRITORY is the first film bold enough to ask: what if the guy who sang the GHOSTBUSTERS theme was in ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13? Turns out the answer is a pretty rad underground action flick. Returning guest Eric Walkuski joins us as we talk about this wild piece of late-80s urban paranoia, as a milquetoast insurance salesman and a cable repairman try to survive a night in a te

Remote (with Logan from Video Villa Entertainment)

Jan 24 2025 60 mins  
In the early 90s, "HOME ALONE rip-off" was a legit genre, and there's no way Charles Band was going to let a zeitgeist go unexploited. This week we're talking about the 1993 Moonbeam romp REMOTE, where a resourceful young kid and his remote control toys take on a trio of bumbling burglars. We're joined this week by one half of Video Villa Entertainment, Logan, who helps us explore

Deadly Weapon, with Michael Cucinotta

Jan 17 2025 64 mins  
LASER BLAST gets an unofficial remake in the surprisingly dark and upsetting DEADLY WEAPON. Starring NIGHTMARE 3's Rodney Eastman as a bullied teen who acquires an ultra-powerful ray gun, this nearly-lost cult movie goes to some heavy places, both for better and for worse. Michael Cucinotta joins us to weigh in on this Empire-era weirdo. Hosted by Jarrod Hornbeck and Steve Guntli

Attack of the 50-ft. Cam Girl / Giantess Battle Attack (with Cayley)

Jan 10 2025 59 mins  
Hollywood: land of big dreams, big stars, and big... cam girls. It's time for ATTACK OF THE 50-FT. CAM GIRL and GIANTESS BATTLE ATTACK, a pair of ultra-trashy T&A comedies from schlockmeister Jim Wynorski. We're joined by the iconic Cayley of "Once-Over With Cayley" (@OnceOverwithCayley on YouTube), who talks us through all the radioactive nonsense of this gleefully sleazy pair

Transmutations (aka Underworld), with Marc Gottlieb and Amber Kloss

Jan 03 2025 70 mins  
We're back in the twisted world of Clive Barker for UNDERWORLD, released stateside as TRANSMUTATIONS! This 1985 fantasy neo-noir is Barker's first screenplay and his first collaboration with RAWHEAD REX director George Pavlou, but it bears a lot of his cinematic hallmarks, albeit in a very early form. We're delighted to be joined on this weird little concoction by multi-hyphenates

The Primevals (with Max Evry)

Dec 27 2024 74 mins  
An event nearly 60 years in the making, THE PRIMEVALS has one of the wildest production stories in Hollywood history. Luckily, we're joined by a special guest who is no stranger to troubled productions: Max Evry, the author of "A Masterpiece in Disarray: David Lynch's Dune - An Oral History!" Max joins us to dissect Dave Allen's long-gestating passion project, a movie that he was d

12 Slays of Christmas / Demonic Toys: Jack-Attack (with Chris Antista)

Dec 20 2024 73 mins  
Tis the season to... buy merch? This week we're talking about Full Moon's only Christmas "film," THE 12 SLAYS OF CHRISTMAS, a compilation of old Full Moon flicks that just so happens to also function as an ad for the Tiny Terrors toy line. We're joined by Mr. Christmas himself, Chris Antista, who lends his expertise into holiday specials to see where this flick lands in the canon.

Killjoy 2: Deliverance From Evil / Killjoy 3 (with Stevie Webb)

Dec 13 2024 68 mins  
The original KILLJOY was a surprise hit when it debuted in the early 2000s, so it seemed a foregone conclusion that the killer clown would be a new staple in the Full Moon repertoire. But as we see this week, the franchise almost died after the second entry, and was only able to return after a complete reimagining in the early 2010s. We're discussing the next two entries in the KIL

Horrorvision (with Kolleen Carney-Hoepfner)

Dec 06 2024 63 mins  
Writer Kolleen Carney-Hoepfner joins us this week for HORRORVISION, an underrated entry in one of our favorite sub-subgenres: early internet thrillers. This early Tempe-era thriller is much smarter than you expect, as an evil website starts to tempt and capture LA-area goths.

Backlash: Oblivion 2 (with Dylan James Quarles)

Nov 29 2024 59 mins  
Author Dylan James Quarles returns this week as we rustle up a sequel to 1994's OBLIVION, Sam Irvin's BACKLASH: OBLIVION 2! Shot simultaneously with the original but released more than 2 years later, this follow up maintains the fun, goofy tone of the original and allows supporting characters, like Julie Newmar's Miss Kitty, to really shine. Hosted by Jarrod Hornbeck and Steve Gun
