2018/10/25

This is the final Season of Halloween episode, and maybe the last Halloween episode we do (except for Halloween 6 Producer's Cut)! We're talking Halloween 2018, the newest requel that has pretty much everyone in a fervor right now. But what did we think about it? You'll have to listen to find out. We talk about Karen and Allyson Strode, we talk about The Shape's new mask, the score from Carpenter, Carpenter, and Davies, and one thing that really bugs us: how did Michael do so much leg work in the

Never would have thought that Halloween: Resurrection would be more well-liked than some of the other sequels, but here we are. We're at the end of the 8-film series of Halloween films and this Busta Rhymes-sporting, Tyra Banks-dancing, Laurie Strode-killing machination has significantly moved up our best-of lists. We talk about all of this and then give a final ranking of the 8 films, and - spoiler - the rank has significantly changed from our expectations before we began this series. Hope you're

Sorry for the late post, guys! We had a bachelor party which made it hard to get this episode done in time. However, we do have the latest Season of Halloween here for your listening pleasure, and we're talking all things Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers. Specially, we are talking the theatrical cut, and we're loving Paul Rudd, some better kills, and the very low Loony Loomis rating as Loomis goes into retirement. Things we don't love include the Home Alone 2-style electrocution, the hard

Whoa now. We though Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers was bad, but Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers is just as bad or maybe a bit worse. We're talking about the upgraded Michael mask, Tina's french maid outfit, Jamie deciding she's not speaking and the retcon of her murdering her mother, Mikey and his Camaro, and a whole lot more. Plus, the Loony Loomis rating is off the charts. We're drinking a torp of Moustache Brewing Company's Late in the Evening English bitter. Approximate

We're back with Season of Halloween episode 4! And right on schedule, we're tackling Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers. We recognize that this film is really not that good, and it actually caught Ryne by surprise. We talk about the horrible mask, the annoying protagonists Jamie and Rachel, the great rack on Kelly, the nearly off-the-charts Loony Loomis, and a whole lot more. We're also drinking Brown's Brewing and Rare Form Brewing's collaboration Priam, the King of Troy Blonde

We're back with an all-new episode in our Season of Halloween celebration, this time moving on to the Michael Myers-less Halloween III: Season of the Witch! While we both recognize that the film isn't what most people would consider good, we do find some time to appreciate the awesome cheesiness of it all - from Tom Atkins' drinking problem to the great Conal Cochran to the insanely fast blossoming of love between Dr. Challis and Ellie. We had a great time talking about this classic redheaded

We're back with the second episode of our Season of Halloween experience, and we're talking about 1981's HALLOWEEN II! We cover a bunch of stuff - mayonnaise and ham sandwiches, the eerie hospital setting, Laurie's uselessness, the presence of Night of the Living Dead, and of course the Loony Loomis rating for this film. We're also talking Goose Island's Redub Amber Ale. Approximate timeline 0:00-15:00 Intro 15:00-30:00 Beer talk 30:00-end Halloween II --- Send in a voice message:

Episode 114: Season of Halloween (1) HALLOWEEN (1978)

2018/09/06

We start our Season of Halloween off on a great note with the OG Halloween, one of John Carpenter's best works. We realize that everything that can be said about this film from a critical standpoint most likely has been said already, so instead of getting hypercritical, we just take an hour to talk about everything we enjoy - and some things we don't! - about Halloween, from its soundtrack to the memeable moments. It's TOTALLY awesome. We hope you enjoy our retrospective on the Halloween

Episode 113: ONE HOUR PHOTO

Blood and Black Rum Podcast - A Cult Film / Horror... ·

2018/08/24

After a long hiatus we are back with a new episode highlighting the excellent Robin Williams in a serious role that may be his best. We're talking One Hour Photo, where Williams shines as a happy-go-lucky photo technician who has become infatuated by a family after developing their photos for years. It's an interesting psychological thriller told through the stalker's eyes, and we talk about the great cinematography, timely themes, and how much we appreciate that shoutout to Neon Genesis

Episode 112: IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS

Blood and Black Rum Podcast - A Cult Film / Horror... ·

2018/07/27

We're already gearing up for Halloween, as is Scream Factory! For this episode, we take on the new Blu-ray of John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness, a film that's influenced both by Lovecraft and popular horror fiction. This is a trip of a film, and we contemplate reality, madness, the noir qualities of the movie, Sam Neill's performance, and the special effects by KNB. Also, we think the theme sounds like "Enter Sandman." We have Saranac's 1888 Pils on the show to drink as well. Approximate

Episode 111: ANT-MAN AND THE WASP

Blood and Black Rum Podcast - A Cult Film / Horror... ·

2018/07/13

Blood and Black Rum Podcast continues its coverage of all of the most recent Marvel movies with a look at the small but extremely fun Ant-Man and the Wasp. We're big fans of Paul Rudd, and so he can pretty much do no wrong in a film, but we find that this movie is uniquely less about Ant-Man than it is about Hank Pym and the Wasp. That leads to some interesting reveals, some Macguffins, and some great fight scenes using seamless CGI. We had a lot of fun with this light-hearted romp, and we think it

Episode 110: HALLOWEEN II (2009)

2018/06/29

We have to admit, we weren't looking forward to doing Halloween II, Rob Zombie's sequel to his remake, on the show. We had already done the first one for Remakeoween and, if you listened to that episode, you know that we hated pretty much everything about it. Halloween II doubles down on all of that, plus it adds a mystical horse and Sheri Moon Zombie draped in white. It's terrible, and truthfully there's not much more to say about it. Yet we get a full hour of conversation about the wretched thing,

We don't do a lot of comedies on the show, but Kevin Smith films are their own type of cult classics and we have been in love with Mallrats ever since we saw it. In this episode, we talk about the film and its quirky charms, Jason Lee's particularly great acting here after his skateboarding career, the distillation of everything '90s, and a whole lot more. Something to note: we watched the Extended Version this time around (also known as the Version That Shouldn't Exist), so we point out some

Episode 108: SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY

2018/06/01

Here's something of a different episode for the Blood and Black Rum Podcast. First of all, we've never covered a Star Wars film. Also, because Ryne's a casual SW watcher and Martin's an avid lover of the film series, we take turns talking about Solo: A Star Wars Story from both perspectives before coming together to talk about some of the good and bad in the film. Also: yes, we find Emilia Clarke hot. And we're drinking Founder's Solid Gold Lager. Approximate timeline 0:00-15:00 Intro15:00-30:00

Episode 107: SUSPIRIA

2018/05/18

Our new episode takes on a horror classic from Dario Argento: Suspiria! Just in time for the new remake this November, we're revisiting this ghoulish film that has become such a staple of the genre, and it's Martin's first time viewing. That means he doesn't have the nostalgic factor that Ryne does; however, we talk the colors, the music, the surplus order of barbed wire, the narrative (or lack thereof), and try to guess the themes of the film. We're also drinking Sixpoint Brewing's Citrus Jammer

Spoilers in this episode. Turn back now if you haven't seen the film. As Marvel concludes its Phase 3 of the cinematic universe, we reminisce about everything we've seen thus far in the 10 years of cinema history. For Avengers: Infinity War, we document the films that you need to see before venturing out to this one; then, we get into the nitty-gritty of this nearly 3 hour long blockbuster, ranging from the mistakes our heroes make to the excellent world-building and plot handling to some hypotheses

Episode 105: PAT GARRETT & BILLY THE KID

2018/04/06

We said we were going to do a western, so we're doing a western! On the docket for this episode is Sam Peckinpah's classic 1973 film Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid, a classic caper film where a sheriff chases an outlaw. In this case, it's James Coburn as the grizzled Pat Garrett and Kris Kristofferson as an old man playing the young Billy the Kid. We talk about Peckinpah's simple plot, the different cuts of the film, how both titular characters are developed, and of course we talk about Bob Dylan's

Episode 104: LEPRECHAUN 3

2018/03/23

We're back a little late for St. Patrick's Day, but we're still celebrating with our annual tradition: the Leprechaun series! We're on to Leprechaun 3 this year, when Warwick Davis goes to Las Vegas for some reason. You can bet there's gambling, boobies, and even more weirdly funny sequences in this sequel, but even with all of the tongue-in-cheek humor, it's hard to truly appreciate this film. We try our best, and we muddle through with a very erratic episode as we try to discuss Leprechaun 3 even

Episode 103: DEATH WISH (2018)

Blood and Black Rum Podcast - A Cult Film / Horror... ·

2018/03/09

Since we did all of the other Death Wish films, we thought it would be important to do this Eli Roth remake as well. Joke's on us - this is the opposite of an important film. It's forgettable, boring, and certainly much less gritty than the original Charles Bronson film, and it also has an uncomfortable obsession with revenge murder. Roth doesn't even have his flair for gore too much here, and Bruce Willis is basically a zombie. Did we like anything about the film? I guess you'll have to listen to

2018/02/09

We're talking about Tommy Wiseau's The Room on this episode of Blood and Black Rum Podcast. Ryne has never seen it before, so he's in for a treat. Discussion topics include our favorite scenes, an intricate break-down of how The Room came to be such a cult classic, and a surprising look at love and relationships as we try to get serious about the theme's of the film. We're also talking about Genessee Brewing Company's new Simcoe SMaSH beer. Approximate timeline 0:00-14:20 Intro14:20-25:00 Beer
