Cryptz (with Xero Gravity)

CRYPTZ follows an aspiring rap group into the world's grossest looking club, where they must fight against sexy stripper vampires in a film that is in no way like FROM DUSK TILL DAWN!

It's long overdue, but for this episode we're taking a step back and just enjoying a chill hang, talking about our lives and our various obsessions and the weird road that took us to the world of Full Moon.

The Baby Oopsie Trilogy (with Kelly of Taboo Terrors)

Feb 07 2025 66 mins  
It's a trio of films that seems specifically designed to torture one of your intrepid co-hosts, but William Butler's BABY OOPSIE trilogy has a few surprises in store. The singularly irritating Demonic Toy takes center stage this week for BABY OOPSIE, MURDERDOLLS, and BURN BABY BURN, three films adapted from a two-season web series. The titular Kelly of Kelly's Taboo Terrors joins u

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
