123. Gabe Bartalos’ Saint Bernard (2013)

Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast ·

2025/12/21

Gabe Bartalos gave us the Christmas gift that keeps on giving: a wild ride inside his traumatized dream-art. You got your dreamscape classics, boning a lady covered in bones, being rescued by stop-motion hair-stick-guys, wine-guzzling cigar cops, sexually abusive uncles with mega-demon pants-junk, Andy Jackson and Abe Lincoln teaming up against Benny Franklin to symbolize... maybe people with less money rising up and destroying the rich? Why did the man with no legs pour salt in the open wounds of

Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast ·

2025/12/07

It's our most Christ-centric episode of Loathsome Things since the great Christmas celebration of Mel Gibson's Passion! This time, we review a little crowd-funded Christian Thriller about a pastor, his church-wife, their small, creepy, non-church-going neighbor, and an actually surprising ending that... no one really knows what it means... and isn't that just the most God-like thing after all?Content Warning: profanity, heresy, blasphemy, rudeness, bad jokes, sin, and many more!

121. Osgood Perkins’ Gretel and Hansel (2020)

Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast ·

2025/11/23

Before he was re-imagining Satanic Panic through the lens of a washed-up Cage-y rock star, Osgood Perkins was down for some woke re-telling of a fable so littered with bad horror movies, it's no wonder people didn't pay attention to this one. Here, we get a feminist Hansel and Gretel story with some BRON-tastic visual, a sprinkling of Jodorowsky-sky-sky inspo, and a nod to the "Potato Famine" being a wealth-induced massacre rather than the natural disaster people like to play it off as. It's the

A bunch of teenaged girls have a sleepover while other teenaged girls on the same street aren't invited. Who else isn't invited, you ask? Why, a slew of men! You've got creepy neighbors, peeping tom goons dry-humping each other while watching the girls change clothes, an insistent boyfriend with a glandular problem you can see, and, oh yeah, an escaped serial killer with a taste for denim and an enormous magic drill that doesn't compensate for anything, if you catch my drift. It's a less formulaic

Lovecraft's “The Dreams in the Witch House,” add a a pinch of The Raid, a huge bag of pills stolen from mobsters, make it about women, and you've got yourself a soup going!

115. Juan López Moctezuma’s Alucarda (1977)

Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast ·

2025/08/31

Two slim, lithe, youthful, excitable, exuberant, perky, naked, lesbian, erotic, sexy, hot, teen, shrill, possessed nuns have to figure out what kind of a movie they're supposed to be in between bouts of directionless shrieking, tit-play, and unleashing the full bush. It's one of the originals of nunsploitation, it's very nearly unbearable to watch, and John and Josh both loved it, as did Guillermo del Toro, so we made fun of him for having bad taste. That's the level of quality you've come to demand

What does Planet of the Apes and a Van Helsing analog traveling to Transylvania have in common with titanium orgy werewolves and bad mod music? Apparently, it's Sybil Danning getting topless only once, and yet also somehow 18 times. That doesn't make sense, and yet you'll understand exactly what that means when you tune in to this episode of Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast that continues to compare nipples to pizza toppings out of solidarity with the ladies.

The epitome of 21st century takes on 20th century _ from space movies, this James Gunn classic references Henelotter, Tremors, The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China, The Toxic Avenger, Goosebumps, Alien, Predator, Society, Shivers, and possibly even Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The make-up and practical effects pair perfectly with 2006's digital effects and the over-the-ham acting of Nathan Fillion, Elizabeth Banks, Michael Rooker, and Gregg Henry. This one will fill you up to bursting but

At the intersection of feminism and cryptozoology, you'll find many a shattered and sympathetic character, along with more than your typical number of meta-physical portals to other realities and men trying to keep you from realizing your inner power. There's also an abundance of white, murky slime and confusingly sensual canals.

For our next creative writing exercise, we're going to explore a social occasion you're familiar with. Think of a time you spent with other people where you made yourself or were made emotionally vulnerable, then launch away from the factuality of that occasion, and instead pilot it towards the style of storytelling you've been most interested in lately and stretch the truth you remember with the truth you're trying to achieve.

Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast ·

This time-a-rooski, we reviewed the first film to be shot in Raymond Spottiswoode's "Depth Dimension" 3-D. It's a nutty little Canadian flick about that new-fangled "psychiatry" my loved ones won't stop going on about, and boy does this movie display a firm grasp over what that is! What we have here is a visual effects buffet sandwiched between long bouts of really crap 1961 people having terrible movie scenes together.
