A Cure for the Common Craig

A horror, trash, sci-fi, action podcast. The Common Craig, his wife, Nicole, and other contributors, discuss genre movies with their own brand of whimsical wit. Join them as they withstand the lengthy horrors of segments like the FOCUS OF FEAR! They decide whether a movie survives to live on in their collection, or meets a grisly demise in AMASS OR MURDER! Their bloodlust demands that an anthology movie does battle with itself, in the ANTHOLOGY DEATHMATCH! Will these depraved despots ever release

2024/12/06

Send us a textA ship reappears after having been missing for seven years. Obviously, complete disregard for safety tells us that we have to go check it out, right? And where did this ship go for seven years? Another dimension? Maybe hell? Oh, yeah. This is going to go well. And the ship is in space, of course.

Send us a textMore child trauma? Two episodes in a row? Apparently, we just can't get enough. When little Peter hears knocking, and then a voice, coming from his wall, his parents seem desperate to discourage him from pursuing an explanation. But, as the tagline for the movie says, "sooner or later, family secrets creep out." And in this movie, something actually does creep out! Lizzy Caplan, Antony Starr, and Cleopatra Coleman star in Cobweb (2023).

B is for... The Brood (1979) - A-Z of Horror Series

2024/10/25

Send us a textDavid Cronenberg's cathartic exercise on film, a result of a personal custody battle, is not all body horror. There is genuine child and family trauma at its core. And because of that, The Brood (1979) is not always a pleasant watch. Perhaps Cronenberg's most personal film, it still packs quite a punch some 45 years later.

Send us a textAfter 5 years, I guess that it's finally time to talk about a Nicole favorite for our 135th episode. And I can't even complain, because it's a horror comedy love letter to George Romero's zombie classics. But that's ridiculous! Don't say the Z word! We present to you, what can only be, the SHAUNNIVERSARY! It's Shaun of the Dead (2004)!

Send us a textThe Final Chapter for Friday the 13th: The Episode? I'm afraid so. One movie does feature a guest appearance by one Fred Krueger, so there's that. And the other is a reboot attempt that fared well at the box office. But no! That's all. This Voorhees guy is finished! Maybe.But while you're waiting, you may as well hear our opinions of the 11th and 12th entries in the Friday the 13th film series. One, two, Freddy's coming for you.

Or are they genital-ripping monstrosities who want to mate with you? Look, we really don't know. But we'll try to answer these very important questions.We want to believe!

It was there, in that blighted place, that he learned to live again. Witness us doing the tell, so we will ride eternal, shiny and chrome.While we have not yet had a chance to see the new movie, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024), it feels right to blaze into the Summer of Action by discussing the previous films in the series.
