2025/12/29

Things are looking dire down in the Molehole, and while Eric's out looking for a new place to live, we decide to try to cheer Greg up by finally watching his favorite movie of all time, The Return of the Living Dead (1985)! We get down to talking about all the zombie tropes introduced in the film, show Tarman and Linnea Quigley a lot of love, turn an crematorium into a guy fryer, and discuss the sin of cooking steaks from frozen! Leave us a 30 second voicemail and if we like it we’ll pl...

The Day of the Beast (1995): Oh Holy Crap!

2025/12/22

It's the most wonderful time of the year, but we get some bad news in the mole-mail! As we ponder our future, we try to lift our Christmas spirits by watching 1995's The Day of the Beast, a movie that involves the burning of homeless people, a quest to find the anti-Christ, and acid...a lot of acid. But hey, it takes place around Christmas, so it fits the theme! The lights are seeming a little bit dimmer for us this holiday, but we hope you all have a great Christmas! Leave us a 30 seco...

Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989): Who wants a body, anyway

Stabby Stabby ·

2025/12/15

Metal metal everywhere and not a drop inside my body cuz it's Tetsuo time. This week we're inspired by a new arm to finally dive into the 1989 classic experimental film Tetsuo: The Iron Man. Can we parse its mysteries? Actually, maybe yes! Maybe? But also we chat body horror, experimental film making, and mostly gush about how much we enjoyed this one. Our love will destroy the world! Leave us a 30 second voicemail and if we like it we’ll play it on the show: (949) 4-STABBY (949-478-2229) Nex...

The Night God Screamed (1971): A cult of personality

2025/12/08

The story so far: Trapped in an underground video store run by an anthropomorphic Mole Man, three men make the best of their situation... After Greg had his soul sucked into the body of a porcelain doll, the boys developed a plan to create a cult and siphon money from the gullible mole-people! But one of our mole-cultists sends a letter requesting us to watch The Night God Screamed (1971), so we do what the people want! So join us as we watch this semi-religious-cult/home invasion movie, and ...

Happy Birthday to Me (1981): Stabby birthday to Greg!

Stabby Stabby ·

2025/12/01

Guess what?! We missed Greg’s birthday—so he’s throwing his own party, and the celebration involves watching the 1981 Canadian slasher Happy Birthday to Me. This week we dig into what makes a giallo a giallo, the gore that got chopped from the final cut, our very classy English pubs, the surprising power of panties, and a spicy meat aphrodisiac. Stick around to see if Greg finally gets his birthday wish! Leave us a 30 second voicemail and if we like it we’ll play it on the show: (949) 4-STABB...

In My Skin (2002): Skin chips and pool bullies

2025/11/24

Hello! What a beautiful day. How would you like to ruin it by watching a New French Extreme film called In My Skin? I'm kidding, but yeah it's a doozy. This week, we break down the feminist body horror film and talk about the drudgery of work, the problem of finding self-worth in the eyes of someone else, and how sometimes society backs you into a corner by assigning you a role you can no longer tolerate sending you on a downward self-destructive spiral because if the world demands your body ...

The story so far: Trapped in an underground video store run by an anthropomorphic Mole Man, three men make the best of their situation... This week, we're looking for something dark, and nothing is darker than a movie that takes place in a cave with little-to-no lighting, so we check out The Strangeness from 1985! But we brave the darkness and discuss the films' positives and negatives, some history of the film, and our love of stop-motion monsters, while falling down tangent holes about sexu...

Stabby Stabby ·

2025/11/10

The boys suit up for a cuddle party inside a custom-sewn pajama onesie crafted by Eric himself, and settle in to watch Peter Greenaway’s 1985 arthouse oddity A Zed and Two Noughts. Along the way, they wrestle with time-lapse photography of real decaying animals, an onslaught of wieners, porno–Wes Anderson–style symmetry, and some very horny snails. Not for the faint of heart—this one dives deep into some seriously heady, disturbing territory. But stick with it, trusted listeners… the weirdnes...

The story so far: With Sellout October behind the boys, they settle into what they think will be a regular day, but little do they know that someone new is about to fall into their lives... Hello! You know dolls. The toys, I mean. Yeah, you do. Know who else knows them? Stuart Gordon, it turns out! This week, we watch Stuart Gordon's under-appreciated 1987 killer-toys fairy tale: Dolls. It's got killer teddy bears and evil parents and toy soldiers and punk nip slips and a witch and a man boy ...

The story so far: After a year and a half underground, we've made it to the best time of the year! Sadly, we've hit the end of Sellout October 2025! During October, we watch mainstream horror movies that people have heard of before. And after trick-or-mole-treating around Mole City, we were gifted a film as a little treat, and it turned out to be The Monster Squad from 1987! It's a first time watch for one of us (can you guess who?!), and we bask in the glory of Stan Winston's amazing c...

After a surprise reappearance brings us all together, we get right down to celebrating our favorite time of year: SELLOUT OCTOBER!

Soul of the Demon (1991): Spooky seance delivery service

Stabby Stabby ·

2025/09/22

The story so far: After spending this much time trapped in a small, underground VHS store, we need to find creative ways to choose movies. Sometimes life gets a bit dull and you need to rely on the supernatural to bring you joy, so we summon up a movie and check out another low-budget shot-on-video film, Soul of the Demon (1991)! During our discussion, we talk about Dan’s struggles with SOV, create a spooky delivery service, compare our past treasures from digging in the ground, and mar...

The story so far: After spending this much time trapped in a small, underground VHS rental store, Greg’s worried that he can’t feel any more. Welp. We recorded this a week ago and, yeah, the world’s only getting crazier. This week, we discuss the 1971 pseudo-documentary Punishment Park, a film that anticipates American fascism by pretending that due process is abandoned so that cops can take their rage out on minorities and activists. Sounds totally implausible, right? Right?? But don’t worry...

This week, Eric is still out on some sort of mission...maybe?...but we're visited by a new underground-dwelling friend, Jarrett the Goblin King! And since we can't decide what movie to watch, Jarrett decides for us and we pop in the meta-horror mocumentary Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon! Join us as we shower ...

The story so far: Three boys are trapped in an underground movie store run by a moleman named MoleMan and bide their time watching trash films and going on stupid adventures. This week, Eric is missing again, so we cope by watching Hard to Kill (1990) starring someone we've never had on the show before: Steven Seagal! Will his charisma-less acting win us over, or will we veer too far of track discussing action movie character names, ways to shave a patient in a seven-year coma, divorced dad e...

The story so far: The boys are trapped in an underground movie store run by an anthropomorphic moleman. After a year of insane adventures, they start questioning where they might truly be... Magic mole scrolls and random scrawlings litter the place down here, so we dig through in the hopes of figuring out what Moleman might be hiding. But then the existential dread hits us...and what if we're actually in the afterlife? Like Lost? No...probably more like Jacob's Ladder (1990)! So we pop it in ...

Night Screams (1987): Screaming in profanities

The story so far: Trapped in an underground video store for more than a year has brought the boys closer through movies and adventure, but they still need their beauty sleep. Sleepy time is ruined with Dan's night terrors, and the only thing we know how to do is watch movies to figure out how to fix problems, so we pop in Night Screams from 1987 to hopefully solve Dan's screaming issue! How is this 80s cheapo slasher? What's the connection between the tip of a man's nose and the the tip of hi...
