We take a look at the horror/giallo film PHENOMENA from Dario Argento, talking about the insane plotting like a girl who can control insects, a random chimp, a disfigured mystery killer, and more!

2017/12/20

In our final Festivus Series episode, we take a look at Die Hard 2, a very similar sequel to the Bruce Willis-led original. We talk about the differences from the first film, the bloated runtime, John McClane actually making things worse, Reginald VelJohnson's top billing, and the star-studded cast including William Sadler and Dennis Franz!

2017/12/06

Our Festivus Series continues, and so does our yearly coverage of the Silent Night, Deadly Night series. We're onto part 3, subtitled Better Watch Out!, and we're talking about the lack of Christmas in this film, the poor continuity from the previous movie, the horrible direction and slow pacing, and a whole lot more flaws in this barely-holiday film.

2017/11/29

We start Festivus 2017 with THE SANTA CLAUSE, the original 1994 comedy starring Tim Allen as a corpulent guy turning into jolly old Saint Nick. We talk about Neal's sweaters, Tim Allen's sarcasm, the underlying sinister intent in the film, Santa Claus kidnapping minors, and other comedy gold from this nostalgic Christmas movie. We're also drinking Brooklyn Winter Lager. Approximate timeline 0:00-15:00 Intro 15:00-22:00 Beer talk 22:00 - end The Santa Clause --- Send in a voice message:

2017/11/21

We continue our coverage of all of the new superhero films with Justice League - even though we were disappointed with Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad and only fairly intrigued with Wonder Woman. Justice League is definitely a step up from the former two films but it doesn't match the solid storyline of the latter - we talk about the problematic characterization of the Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg, the issues with the infusion of tone-deaf humor, JK Simmons' toupee, Aquaman's uselessness, and

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

2017/11/15

Our Thanksgiving episode hits a little early with our coverage of Thankskilling, the 2009 low-budget horror film. We try to figure out if it's intentionally or unintentionally bad; either way, we enjoy the ridiculousness of the plot, the bad dialogue, the tons of puns, the big boobies at the beginning of the film, and more! We also talk about Keystone Light because that's what they're drinking in the film. Approximate Timeline 0:00-15:00 Intro 15:00-25:00 Beer talk 25:00 - end Film discussion ---

We discuss the weird plotting issues that plague the film, Jeff Goldblum's presence, the colorful synth-y new world that Taika Waititi has built, and the more comedic aspect of this release. We also discuss Budweiser's new 1933 Prohibition Repeal Amber Lager!

2017/10/24

Our last Remakeoween episode is Rob Zombie's Halloween from 2007. We saw this in theaters back when it released but haven't seen it since; we talk about the Zombification of John Carpenter's original, the trailer trash Michael Myers in this film, the presence of Malcolm McDowell for some strange reason, the film's inability to come up with a solid backstory for Michael despite spending an hour on his past, and more! We also talk about Genesee's Dark Chocolate Scotch Ale. Approximate timeline 0:00 -

On our seventh Remakeoween episode, we take on the remake A Nightmare on Elm Street with Jackie Earl Haley as the killer Freddy Kreuger. We talk about the CGI violence and gore, Freddy's jokey presence, the transition from Kris to Nancy as main character, douchebros, and compare the whole thing to Wes Craven's original. We also drink Harpoon's Flannel Friday and Golden Ale beers. Approximate timeline 0:00-10:00 Intro 10:00-20:00 Beer talk 20:00-end A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) //Subscribe to us

On our sixth Remakeoween episode we talk about Friday the 13th, the 2009 remake - and luckily it corresponds with Friday, October 13th! We talk about stupendous boobies, all of the film's gory scenes, the douchebag bros that populate the cast, the fast-moving Jason, and we critique the film's 20 minute pre-title opening. We also cover some News in a new segment, and a new beer segment: Sam Adams Octoberfest vs. Harpoon Octoberfest! Approximate timeline 0:00-15:00 Intro 15:00-25:00 News 25:00 - 38:00

2017/10/03

In our fifth Remakeoween episode we take on Evil Dead, the 2013 remake from Fede Alvarez that is not exactly a reboot and not exactly a remake. We talk about how it sits somewhere in between, discuss the attempts at homage, the increased violence, the poor acting, and the new plot involving drug addiction and metaphorical demons. We also talk about Kelso Brewing Company's IPA. Approximate timeline 0:00 - 16:00 Intro 16:00 - 25:00 Beer talk 25:00 - end Evil Dead //Subscribe to us on iTunes:

2017/09/27

Our Remakeoween continues with HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL (1999), a remake that attempts to capture the cheesiness of the original William Castle film by adding a Vincent Price-esque figure and some real supernatural events. We talk about Famke Janssen, Chris Kattan's weird role, the CGI effects for The Darkness, and the fun late '90s feel of the movie. We also discuss the new beer delivery service Hopsy and Bronx Brewery's Summer Pale Ale with lemon. Approximate timeline 0:00 - 12:00 Intro 12:00 - 24:00

Remakeoween continues with our coverage of Tom Savini's Night of the Living Dead remake, which was also re-written by George Romero. We talk about the increased gore and zombie effects, compare it to the original film, discuss Tony Todd's role as Ben, wonder about Romero's attempts to retcon his own series to better fit with the later Dead films, and ponder how well this film's conclusion matches the original's theme. Plus, we're drinking Adirondack Brewing's NYS Octoberfest! Approximate

2017/09/12

Remakeoween continues with our 2nd remake (and we're cheating a bit), 2017's IT. We do a lot of comparing between this one, the original miniseries, and the novel, and we get into the positives and negatives of adapting such a long book into a relatively short film. We talk about the solid acting, the film's childhood humor, the resemblance to '80s films like The Goonies, the lack of adult "evil," CGI Pennywise, and more! We've also got Goose Island Festbier for drinking! Approximate timeline 0:00

2017/09/05

We start our Halloween Remakeoween series with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre from 2003 starring Jessica Biel as... a body of T&A. We talk about the film's lack of atmosphere, its nonchalant approach to the slasher genre, the heightened presence of gore, and its bland cookie-cutter aesthetic. We're not too kind to this one since it's often kind of boring and we recently watched the original for our Tobe Hooper retrospective!

On episode 82 we pay tribute to the late Tobe Hooper with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. First we take a look at Hooper's films, then we get into TCM itself: the lengthy scenes, the noise soundtrack, the creepy Leatherface appearances, and the mental health illness of just about everyone in the film. We also tackle Genny Grungeist Pale Ale for the beer this week. Approximate timeline 0:00-20:00 Intro/Retrospective 20:00-40:00 Beer talk 40:00 - end The Texas Chainsaw Massacre //Subscribe to us on

On this week's episode, we head to BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA with Kurt Russell and Kim Cattrall. We talk about how much of a different film this is for John Carpenter, discuss the soundtrack from Carpenter and Alan Howarth, commend Russell for his unusually comedic performance, and contemplate the background of the film's Chinese mysticism. We also drink Modelo Negra! Approximate timeline 0:00-10:00 Intro 10:00-16:00 Beer talk 16:00 - end Big Trouble in Little China //Subscribe to us on iTunes:
