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.

Episode 93 | The Faculty (1998)

The Cherry Picker ·

2023/12/26

🦐 Celebrating its 25th anniversary this week, The Faculty was another 90s teen horror flick in the same vein as Scream. This time with Kevin Williamson infusing his meta voice and high school archetypes into the alien sub genre. The film was directed by Robert Rodriguez and has developed a massive cult following over the years, borrowing a lot of tropes from other science fiction films. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of studio love for this movie, as it seems to have been forgotten and

🎹 Kicking off December with a Christmas movie... well sort of. There's a Christmas tree! That counts, right? Anyway, you can always find a good excuse to talk about Dario Argento, and this is the perfect opportunity to discuss one of his finest works, Deep Red (aka Profondo Rosso).

Episode 90 | They Live (1988)

2023/11/21

🕶 John Carpenter's They Live opened in theatres 35 years ago, and became a No. 1 hit at the box office after the director had a string of commercial failures throughout the 80s. Despite this, the movie fell off of the box office in the week following its release, and to this day does not really get much fan fare aside from people recognizing it for the iconic faces of it's clandestine, villainous aliens... and of course the five minute fight sequence between Roddy Piper and Keith David

Episode 89 | House of Wax (2005)

2023/11/14

🕯 Prey. Slay. Display. Dark Castle made a millennialized remake to House of Wax back in the 2000s, which was already a remake of Mystery at the Wax Museum (1933). Remake is a bit of a loose term here, however, as the movie is much more in the style of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise. That's not necessarily a bad thing though, and in this episode we are going to run through all the fun and entertaining ways that House of Wax both supersedes (and fails), while also comparing it to the
