The boys sit at the dinner table to discuss Eli Roth's "Thanksgiving", the 80's vs. the 90's, and slashers as a subgenre of horror.
For Friendsgiving 2023 the boys are joined by a special guest to discuss Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hicksploitation, Wes Craven, and sadly Rob Zombie.
Continuing our celebration of spooky season, Levi discusses Mike Flanagan's "The Fall of the House of Usher".
The boys are joined by several special guests live at the local Halloween bar. Depravity and debauchery ensue!
Levi kicks off October with one of his favorite writers on another Well-Adjusted Short.
Our inaugural Back to School episode and this one is a doozy. Carpenter, King, 27 year olds playing 17, switchblades, addiction, sex, and cars. It's all here.
Join Levi as he discusses one of his favorite monsters, the Elder One himself, Cthulhu.
Levi had high hopes, so did Johnathon, did it pay off? Find out if the boys deserve to have nice things.
Join Levi as he discusses Wesley Snipes, Batman and Robin, and 1998's "Blade".
The boys return with their full entourage for a fin-tasatic look at Jaws 4: The Revenge. It's a romanic comedy. But not really.
Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, Roger Corman, Vincent Price, Lon Cheney Jr! What more do we need to say? It's The Haunted Palace (1963). It's old. It's creepy. It's comfort food.
Join us as the boys discuss parenting, the legend that is Oliver Reed, and David Cronenberg's The Brood. Body Horror? Check! Embellished acting? Check! Strange, mentally scarring finale? Check! This has everything you want from a Cronenberg film!
This week the boys break out their scarves and cigarettes for a discussion of the French film RAW (2016).
It's Episode 61, and the boys are finally discussing a movie directed by favorite Jordan Peele — Nope (2022). Themes: Spectacle vs significance, capitalism vs family, animals vs humans, and aliens vs ... everybody.

Sam Neil is more handsome than your hosts will ever be, and that's okay. But this week's movie is not okay. It's the cold war. It's West Germany. Sam Neil is a spy who can read anyone but his beloved — and maybe the tentacle monster she spawns to replace him?
The boys are joined by two special guests for a special look at the year head in horror movies.
Listen along as the boys celebrate one of the best storytellers in any genre — Stephen King.
Mad scientists? Check. Zombies? Check. A severed head in a compromising position with a co-ed? Check. The boys lose their heads with a celebration of their favorite carnival ride of a movie, H.P. Lovecraft's Re-Animator.
The best holiday of the year is around the corner, so the boys pull up a classic — John Carpenter's Halloween.
The Amityville Horror (1977) has stood the test of time, which is odd given that it really isn't a very good movie. Is it a strait-forward haunting tale punching above its weight because of the based-on-true-story angle? Or is it a more subtle allegory about economic anxiety?
This week the boys are abuzz with a look at the not-quite-remake of Candyman (2021)
Your favorite podcasters return from their accidental month off just in time for Shark Week, with a somewhat grumpy look at Jaws 2. It may not be the best sequel ever made, but what an electrifying ending! Also, what does it take to lose a mayoral election in Amity?
This week Johnathon once again drags Levi back to the 80s to consider a classic of the werewolf genre — Stephen King's Silver Bullet (1985). This one has all the ingredients of a great King adaption — rabble-rousing yokels, nostalgic voice overs, and a severed head in the first 5 minutes. Also, dad hats.
There is no better reason to watch a movie than Kevin Bacon, but Tremors (1990) includes several other reasons anyway. It's been called "the perfect bad" movie, and the boys agree with that, except for the "bad" part. Press play and join the love fest for one of the best genre movies ever made.
