2024/10/18

Every Friday is FRIDAY NIGHT FIENDS during HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST and today we’re discussing the follow up to one of our favorite horror movies. Kirsty, Julia, Pinhead and the Lament Configuration are back and hotter than ever and we’re gonna be spending a lot of time down under under the gaze of Leviathan. We’re talking “HELLBOUND: HELLRAISER 2” from 1988 directed by Tony Randel and starring Claire Higgins, Ashley Laurence and Doug Bradley. The sultry Julia returns with the help of a sick doctor and

HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST means we stay spooky five days a week all October long and on “TRUE THREAT THURSDAYS” our scares are rooted in reality. For certain movies there is a level of skepticism and exploitation you can’t ignore but today’s discussion involves a film based on one of the most notorious unsolved serial killings in US history. The seemingly unending spiral that is the Zodiac Killer case can feel very lofty but David Fincher manages to adapt Robert Graysmith’s book on the killer in a way that

Paranoiac (1963)

It’s Wednesday during October so that means it’s HAMMER HORROR HUMPDAY and we’re on the last of our three Oliver Reed starring films and we saved one of his most scene chewing performances for today. This is also the show’s first discussion of a film starring the classic British Scream Queen Janette Scott. A family is in shambles. The mother and father are dead. A brother, Tony, gone from taking his own life. The surviving brother, Simon, is a psychotic alcoholic and the surviving sister thinks she

They Live (1988)

2024/10/15

Every Tuesday during HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST is JOHN CARPENTUESDAY and we’re catching up with some John Carpenter selections that we’ve been long overdue to see. Especially this one considering the pro wrestling appreciation of the hosts as well as the pretty significant cultural reverberations that this particular movie inspired. Critics were not high on it at the time and executives were confused by it, but John Carpenter’s 1988 film “THEY LIVE” is practically the dictionary definition of a beloved

Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)

2024/10/14

Every Monday is “Universal Monster Monday” all October for HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST and today we discuss probably the coolest looking one when you see a picture of all the monsters lined up. We’re talking about Gill-Man and he’s only defending his territory that humans have unfairly encroached on. You can’t just enter the Black Lagoon without presenting Gill-Man a gift of a human woman and if you’re not willing to come off it then he’s gonna maim your doctor and take her for himself.

The Howling (1981)

Every Friday during Halloween Humpfest is devoted to those Friday Night Fiends. Iconic creatures and monsters who give us the chills and today is the second of three werewolf flicks for the month. Dee Wallace plays “Karen” a TV news anchor who is being stalked by a predatory serial killer. She, quite bravely, attempts to entrap her stalker in the back of a porn store where police barely arrive in time to save her. She’s traumatized into amnesia and this dude is in her dreams, day and night, so her

The Town That Dreaded Sundown (1976)

The Projectors ·

2024/10/10

HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST continues and we’re discussing our second “True Threat Thursday” selection! Every Thursday this month is horror based on true events and we hit up an early slasher film by “Legend of Boggy Creek” director Charles B. Pierce. In 1946 a masked man killed 5 people in Texarkana and seized the mid-size town in fear. Maybe if you removed the cop comedy and the trombone scene then Charles Pierce’s 1976 true crime thriller “THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN” might hit a little better.

Night Creatures (1962)

2024/10/09

For HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST, our loaded celebration of horror, we will always make room for the thrills and chills of Hammer movies. Each Wednesday in October is “Hammer Horror Humpdays” and we’re tracking some Oliver Reed films. Today’s discussion is like a mystery/adventure/horror hybrid. Horror in a more classical sense as we go back to the late 18th century in the wake of the death of a notorious pirate. The township prospers but nobody goes to the marsh at night because it is haunted by skeletal

The Fog (1980)

Every weekday during HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST represents a different horror them and we’re happy to kick off the first of four JOHN CARPENTUESDAY selections. Every Tuesday we discuss a John Carpenter film that we’ve been long overdue to watch and today is his follow up to his and Debra Hill’s smash hit “Halloween” that sees the return of Jamie Lee Curtis and Nancy Loomis. We’re discussing the salty 1980 horror “THE FOG” also starring Adrienne Barbeau, Tom Atkins, Janet Leigh & Hal Holbrook. A legacy

The Mummy (1932)

HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST HAS RETURNED! That means a horror movie discussion every weekday all October long and we often like to do classic film selections on Mondays. For Halloween this month, each weekday has a particular theme and every Monday is UNIVERSAL MONSTER MONDAYS! The iconic Universal Monster characters that have been the face of a studio for generations. Today we hit the strange romantic horror of the 1932 film “THE MUMMY” directed by Karl Freund and starring the legendary Boris Karloff and

A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

2024/10/04

All month long is HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST and that means a horror movie discussion every weekday for October. Each weekday represents its own horror sub-category and every Friday is “FRIDAY NIGHT FIENDS”. The creatures, the creeps, the monsters and the fiends get the spotlight at the end of every workweek and today we got an infamous monster that bucked the slow, quiet trend of slashers to get inside our heads and have a little fun. You know him. You love him until you’re reminded that he’s a a pedophile

Fire in the Sky (1993)

2024/10/03

Every weekday during HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST represents a different theme and today is our first discussion for Thursdays’ theme we’re calling TRUE THREAT THURSDAYS. Scary and chilling movies that are based upon true stories. Some selections are understandably more speculative than others and for our first “true threat” talk we’re delving into an adaptation of an allegedly true alien abduction whose alien experimentation scene catapults what might have been a forgettable film into a certain level of

The Curse of the Werewolf (1961)

2024/10/02

HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST has officially begun and last year we tackled some Hammer Horror starring ( mostly) Christopher Lee. This year, every Wednesday, we’re rocking even more Hammer Horror movies with another actor that will (mostly) appear. We’re talking about Mr. Funtimes himself, Oliver Reed. Today we discuss an emotional Oliver Reed performance in the 1961 film “THE CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF” directed by the prolific Terence Fisher and also starring Clifford Evans, Yvonne Roman & Catherine Feller

George Romero's Dead: Movie Review 6-Pack

We are back for that most magical time of the year. Spooky season. Autumn. October. Halloween. HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST 2! Every weekday all October we discuss a different horror movie discussion and we will have even more horror to discuss than last year because we’re bookending the month with TWO movie review 6-Pack episodes in which we discuss 6 movies within a franchise or genre within a specific time limit for each movie. It’s often where our lowest rated movies rear their heads and while that is no

Nymphomaniac (2013)

What a journey. We’re rolling through our ninth discussion in our year-long theme of A DREARY YEAR OF VON TRIER. This US election year was guaranteed to feel heavy and hopeless and it’s lived up to that spectacularly. Add a dozen Lars von Trier movies to that because why not? Today we talk of his third in his “Depression Trilogy” and it’s definitely a fun one to trick your in-laws into watching. If you can talk your mother-in-law into watching the complete 5 hour and 20 minute director’s cut of the

Ali: Fear Eats the Soul (1974)

The Projectors ·

2024/09/27

With this episode we end September’s theme of EUROPEAN VACATION and we’ve hit up plenty of classic Euro bangers. The A and S-Tier lists are swelling. This is a good thing and today’s discussion is no different as we make our final stop in Germany to discuss our third Fassbinder movie for the show. One last fling before Halloween time and we got one of Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s most infamous. His 1974 film “ALI: FEAR EATS THE SOUL”. It’s strangely sweet story of human connection and the intense

The Worst Person in the World (2021)

We’re winding down our European Vacation and we make a stop in Norway but there’s something that goes beyond the borders in Joachim Trier’s 2021 romance/comedy/drama/coming-of-age film “THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD”. Renate Reinsve plays “Julie” whose fickle and drifting life might seem a little too familiar especially if you’re in a certain age range. She meets Aksel, played by Anders Danielson Lie, a cartoonist about 10 years her senior and falls in love. The love and the eventual disconnect feel

The Bicycle Thief (1948)

2024/09/23

We’re in our last stretch of September’s theme of EUROPEAN VACATION and we’re broke as fuck now. We spent way too much money in France on wine, cigarettes and food cooked in heavy cream and now we’ve come back to postwar Italy and we got to get a job. But we need a bike. When it comes to representing poverty on film Vittorio De Sica’s 1948 film “THE BICYCLE THIEF” (or “BICYCLE THIEVES”) stands among the absolute best. Antonio needs his bike back from hock so he can get a gig hanging Rita Hayworth

That Obscure Object of Desire (1977)

The Projectors ·

2024/09/20

This is our last stop for French movies this month and the last of our most romantic week under September’s EUROPEAN VACATION theme. This movie bounces around from France to Spain and is one of the most bizarre romantic comedies out there. Pretty impressive for any director to hit it like this at the age of 80 but Luis Buñuel was a different breed. Fernando Rey plays a well-to-do widower who falls for a poor but beautiful 19 year old who lives with her mother. His obsessions overwhelm him as

Breathless (1960)

2024/09/18

A few more Frenchies this week as we hit peak romance for September’s theme of EUROPEAN VACATION and when it comes to French New Wave, today’s discussion is amongst the most infamous. Jean-Luc Godard’s 1960 international hit “BREATHLESS” helped set a standard in style at a time when the filmgoing world was hungry for more international flair. Like a few other movies we cover this month, it represents a distinct point in the global recognition of European film. The chemistry between Jean Seberg &
