This week, Tim Kirk returns, this time as a guest host. And we're going all the way back to the OG grave robbers, William Burke and William Hare, two guys who really existed and really killed for fun and profit.

2025/09/11

It's a weird week, fiends. Your friendly neighborhood Mad Scientist is flying solo this week to tell you all about this slight, low budget movie that succeeds in some ways and fails in others. Join me as I talk to myself for an hour. And don't worry, Eric will be back. And in the meantime, I'm bringing in a few ringer guest hosts to help out.

Continuing our Elvis coverage(?), this week we're talking about this incredibly late-90s horror comedy. It's an incredibly frustrating film in that it has some really interesting ideas that are executed so poorly that it's almost indefensible. But join us as we discuss internalized homophobia, some of the worst gay stereotypes of the 90s, obscure rock 'n' roll trivia, and more! Please rate, review, and tell your fiends.

Join us as Pauly from Goodfellas faces off against Giles from Buffy in a battle to the death over a (maybe?) terminally ill teen girl.

We did it, fiends! 200 episodes! They said it couldn't be done, and here we are.

Okay, so we weren't quite done with Dr. Moreau. This week we're joined by Very Special Guest Rodney Ascher, director of Room 237, The Nightmare, A Glitch in the Matrix, and Ghost Boy (which is currently doing the festival circuit).

We've reached the final Moreau film (for now, but just wait for our brilliant sequel PLANET OF DR. MOREAU), and we gotta say that this much maligned 1996 film with the extremely well-documented disastrous production actually kind of rules? So, like, see it if you haven't. It's absolutely bonkers, but in the best kind of way. Join us as we discuss the Brando vs. Kilmer war of craziness, the world's smallest man, and the world's most unwelcome extra.

We've got to go back to the island, fiends! We had so much fun at the Blood Island (of Dr. Moreau) that we're returning for another visit. This week, it's the Island of Lost Souls. And even though it doesn't mention Moreau in the title, this one is much more explicit in its adaptation than Terror is a man. Join us as Charles Laughton chews the scenery as Moreau, and we meet an exceedingly furry Bela Lugosi reciting the law, and the Panther Woman, an addition to the story who
