SlashU ·

2025/05/19

This week we recorded a Zoom call between your two favorite professors and discussed the premier of Professor Nick's movie "Murder Cabin." We had a screening here in Milwaukee. How did it go? How many people showed up? What happens next with this indy short film? Where to babies come from? We covered it all in our "Murder Cabin" recap. But it's the first time ever here on SlashU where we did not spoil the entire movie. Listen and enjoy!Follow us on Instagram @SlashU_PodcastEmail us at

Episode 174: Mother's Day

SlashU ·

2025/05/12

We've got one this week in honor of all the amazing Moms out there. From 1980 it's "Mother's Day." It's the story of three college best friends who call themselves the "Rat Pack." Each year since college, they've been going on a girls' trip together to reconnect and renew their unbreakable friendship. But this year, the three ladies get kidnapped by Ike and Addley who drag them off into the forest to torment them for the pleasure of their dear old Mom. It's not our usual "Slasher" movie but

2025/05/05

Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone! Turns out there's a cheesy, campy slasher movie from 2013 called "Cinco de Mayo" and so we covered it! It's the story of El Maestro, or Mr. Valdez. He's a Mexican Studies teacher at the college. When El Maestro gets fired and mercilessly ridiculed by those around him, he snaps.

Episode 172: Funeral Home

SlashU ·

2025/04/28

This week we jumped into another 80s style slasher classic with "Funeral Home." Alternate title "Cries in the Night" and we'll discuss all that today too. The story centers around Heather, who is visiting her grandmother to help get her Bed and Breakfast business off the ground. You see, Grandma and Grandpa used to run the community's funeral home. But when Grandpa disappeared, Grandma was forced to turn it into a B&B to make ends meet. While Heather is there to help, some of the guests

Episode 171: Easter Bunny Massacre

SlashU ·

2025/04/21

Happy Easter! In honor of the Easter Season we covered "Easter Bunny Massacre" from 2021. This one's a British slasher and we had so much fun picking it apart. Sorry for our terrible accents. It's the story of a group of friends who start out celebrating graduation, but end up trying to cover up a murder. The crime comes back to haunt them a year later in the form of someone dressed as a deranged Easter Bunny with a hammer and a bad attitude. Let us know what you think!Follow us on Instagram

Episode 170: That's a Wrap

SlashU ·

2025/04/14

This week we watched "That's a Wrap" from 2023. It's a very self-aware movie-within-a-movie concept. Mason Maestro, a pompous director, just got done shooting his masterpiece slasher movie. At the wrap party with the cast, people start to mysteriously disappear. What's really going on here? We'll talk all about it on the episode.

Episode 169: Stabbed in the Face

SlashU ·

2025/04/07

This week we went back to 2004 to cover "Stabbed in the Face." We weren't exactly sure who this movie was made for, but we suspect it's at least made for all those involved. Because there were points where we had no idea what was going on or why. Light on backstory, but heavy on content to make fun of. This one has some good effects and some people you are happy to see meet their demise. If you're a fan of cheesy, campy horror, it doesn't get much better than this. Listen and let us know what

Episode 168: Fatal Games

SlashU ·

2025/03/31

This week we ventured back to 1984 to cover "Fatal Games." It's the story of a group of athletes at Falcon Athletic Academy. They're training hard for the Nationals competition with hopes to make it to the Olympics. But someone is stalking the athletes killing them one by one using a javelin as their weapon of choice. I won't spoil anything here, but this movie ends up having some very relevant topics currently in discussion in today's sports world. Super progressive for a 1984 movie, we liked

Episode 167: Last Night at Terrace Lanes

SlashU ·

2025/03/24

Here we are again, covering a movie from 2024. This one doesn't fall within the traditional "slasher" format. It's the story of Kennedy, on a date at a bowling alley that's going to shut down tomorrow. But a cult of math-enthusiasts takes over and starts killing people in the name of "transcendence." Kennedy has to team up with her estranged father to try and save the day. Let us know what you think!Follow us on Instagram @SlashU_PodcastEmail us at SlashUPodcast@gmail.comFind us on Facebook too

Episode 166: Live from Milwaukee Horror Con

SlashU ·

2025/03/17

We were at the first ever Milwaukee Horror Convention all weekend! It was an absolute blast of a time. We met so many horror fans and (hopefully) invited several new listeners into the SlashU family. What an amazing, welcoming, happy community of people of all walks of life. We did several interviews and I tried to remember to link everybody below in the show notes. Thanks to everyone who came by our booth and we hope you like this special episode of SlashU. We'll be back on our regular format

Episode 165: Curtains

SlashU ·

2025/03/10

What would you do to get a part in a movie? Would you kill someone? Sleep with someone? This question gets explored in the movie we watched for this week. It's "Curtains" from 1983. It's the story of 6 beautiful actresses all called to a director's home to audition for a part in his masterpiece movie. But it seems maybe one of the ladies wants to eliminate the competition through force of murder rather than giving a superior audition. We broke this one down and then some. Listen and

Best of Shark Week

SlashU ·

2025/03/03

This week we cut together some highlights from our Shark Week episodes. For the last few years we've each selected a cheesy, campy, sometimes forgotten shark movie. It's made for 6 episodes of some of the dumbest SlashU viewing we've ever had. So we thought it was time to revisit some highlights from those Shark Week episodes and we bring you that today. It's the SlashU Best of Shark Week. Listen and enjoy!Follow us on Instagram @SlashU_PodcastCheck out the Facebook page too.Email us as

Episode 164: Mary Mary, Bloody Mary

SlashU ·

2025/02/24

We went all the way back ton 1975 for this one. And it's a little untraditional for a "slasher" movie. We covered "Mary, Mary, Bloody Mary." It's the story of Mary (really?) who is a talented painter living in Mexico. The only catch is that Mary likes to drink blood. Is she a vampire? Not really. Is there some sort of magical reason she drinks blood then? No, she just likes it....a lot. So how does she maintain her blood-drinking habit without getting caught killing people? Easy, get someone

Episode 163: Founders Day & MKE Horror Con Interview

SlashU ·

2025/02/17

We've got another great show for you this week as Season 10 of SlashU continues. We covered "Founders Day" from 2023. It's the story of a heated mayoral election in the small New England town of Fairwood. There's a masked killer on the loose whose intentions are to sway the election a certain way. Not a bad commentary on reality if we're being honest. Plus we've got an interview with CJ From the Milwaukee Horror Con coming up in March. We talk about his background and how this amazing event

Episode 162: Lovers' Lane & Spooky Frog Interview

SlashU ·

2025/02/10

We're back with Season 10 of SlashU. What a wonderful ride it has been. We're hot off the January break and diving right into a Valentine's Day slasher movie. It's "Lovers' Lane" from 2000. It's the story of a famous makeout spot, where a couple people were killed 13 years ago. Now it seems the killer is back and targeting the children of his victims. This one tries to have some twists and turns that don't necessarily land. But it's got Anna Faris before she starred in the "Scary Movie"

Best of Season 8

SlashU ·

2025/01/27

As we continue our time off in January, we thought it would be fun to drop a clip show. It's the Best of Season 8 here on SlashU. This would be a great episode to recommend to someone who doesn't listen. They can get a sense for how our typical show sounds and laugh along to all the dumb stuff we talk about in addition to the movies.Thank you all for listening and stay tuned for an awesome 2025!Follow us on Instagram @SlashU_PodcastEmail us at SlashuPodcast@gmail.comCheck out the Facebook page

We tried our hand at a live commentary of one of our least favorite movies, just so you could learn to love it as much as we hate it. Boot up Final Exam wherever you get your on-demand movies and then hit "play" on this episode. Cue it up according to what we say right at the beginning so you know you're synced up between your movie and this podcast.

Episode 161: Terrifier 3

SlashU ·

2024/12/30

It's our final new episode of 2024. We're wrapping up our annual SlashYule holiday tradition with one more "Christmas movie." We've covered the first two so we have to hit part 3. It's "Terrifier 3." We'll go over all of Art the Clown's antics as he continues to terrorize Sienna and Jonathon Shaw and the other residents of Miles County. This one got a little more supernatural, and the over-the-top gore can be a turn off for some. But if you're a fan of slasher/horror, it's a must-watch.Follow

Episode 160: Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker

SlashU ·

2024/12/23

It's an annual tradition here at SlashU that we have to cover the Silent Night, Deadly Night series. And since our Podcast is now a multi-year, multi-season episode juggernaut in broadcasting, we're up to Part 5 of the "Silent Night, Deadly Night" series. So for better or worse, we covered part 5, "The Toy Maker." This series strayed so far off the track from the original that it's very strange to even call it another sequel at this point. I'm sure there's a reason for it, but we can't figure it

Episode 159: A Christmas Horror Story

SlashU ·

2024/12/16

This week we're bringing you another hidden gem from 2015. Starring William Shatner, it's "A Christmas Horror Story." It's a series of four separate plot lines all intertwined among the people of Bailey Downs, outlining four very different but all horrific Christmases. We thought this was a great way to tell four separate stories all in one 1hour, 40minute movie. And William Shatner!
