The Cherry Picker

Welcome to The Cherry Picker: the horror movie podcast where we like to kill people... but not really. Hosted by Zack Cherry and Eddie. Each week we discuss a new horror film / franchise / or topic, and finish the episode off with The Cherry Picker, an interactive poll where we choose two characters from the preceding content who we believe were/are the most deserving of their horror movie deaths (whether they received one or not). You will then have the opportunity to vote.

🧪 It's rare that the academy awards would recognize a horror movie, so, we figured now was as a good a time as ever to delve into some newer film content with last year's The Substance. Join us as we discuss the critically acclaimed body horror film starring Demi Moore in a career defining role that is all sorts of ick.

Episode 131 | An American Werewolf in London (1981)

2025/02/11

🇬🇧 We thought we'd celebrate Valentine's this year with a different brand of romantic horror, seeing as how this movie does contain somewhat of a doomed relationship. However, we also felt it was time to cover this seminal classic, possibly the greatest movie of the werewolf sub genre (a sub genre that isn't as well regarded as those of its monster contemporaries). Join us as we take a trip to merry old England and delight in all that this movie has to offer. We'll also choose

🐇 Kinda straying away from the typical horror fodder this week in order to cover some more dramatic thrillers (but with horror elements). Fatal Attraction is in a league of its own with the scorned adulteress subgenre. Join us as we break down everything from Glenn Close's phenomenal performance to the Gallagher's useless family dog. These are despicable people, so be sure to stick around til the end of the episode to help us choose which characters was most deserving to die.● ● ●▶️ Watch

🚢 Even though Ghost Ship follows Dark Castle's House on Haunted Hill and Thirteen Ghosts remakes (and has key art that resembles the 1980 horror movie "Death Ship"), this is in fact not a remake. Join us as we're joined by our editor, Jason, where we will break down this movie bit by bit, and give our thoughts on why this either works or misses the mark for Dark Castle's run of 2000s horror.

🍏 Taking things nice and easy this January with some early 90s thriller fodder in The Hand That Rocks the Cradle. Incidentally, this movie is slated to be remade with Maika Monroe and Mary Elizabeth Winstead, so we figured it was a good time to watch this one. Join us in all the seductive scheming fun as we talk about the brilliant and evil nanny, Peyton, played deliciously by Rebecca De Mornay.

🐦‍⬛ Happy new year! We're starting 2025 off with Opera! Dario Argento's beautifully shot, but horribly nonsensical spin on the Phantom of the Opera as a giallo murder mystery. Join us as we tape needles under your eyeballs and force you through the film's opulent world while comparing it to some of Argento's other works.
