Hellraiser (1987) Review and Discussion

Better late than never — it’s the Mother’s Day episode of Booze Bros & BS. On this episode we’re diving into Clive Barker’s 1987 cult classic *Hellraiser*. Behind the scenes trivia, the sex scene that nearly got an X rating (the MPAA was literally counting thrusts), and the haunting what-if of Coil’s lost soundtrack. We also theorize on what the Cenobites actually are — angels, demons, elementals? Are they evil, or just operating on a morality we can’t comprehend? And on this Mother’s Day, Mike shares a heartfelt tribute to his mom, who passed in April — and to every mother who ever held it all together. Pour one out. Press play. No box required.

Weapons (2025) movie review

🎃 Boos, Bros, & BS – Episode 1: "Weapons of Grief" Our first spooky season episode dives into Zach Cregger’s Weapons, written after the sudden death of his friend and WKU co-creator Trevor Moore. Each character embodies an emotion Cregger was processing—survivor’s guilt, anger, sadness, and more. We explore the film’s eerie 2:17 a.m. moment, its connections to The Shining, Zach’s denial of political intent, his use of Transcendental Meditation as a writing technique, and David Lynch’s surreal influence. We also touch on witchcraft and occult imagery in the film. Tune in for chills, laughs, and deep discussion. This is a public episode.

Society (1989) Review

This week, we dove into Brian Yuzna’s Society (1989) — the slimy, sleazy, body horror cult classic that left us questioning… well, everything. Ben watched it for the first time during our earlier watchalong, so naturally, we had to revisit the shunting, crack some jokes, and try to get to the bottom of this... disturbing mess. Spoiler: Ben may never recover.. Is Society a brilliant social satire or just a fever dream with an Oedipus complex, and way too much body-melding? Tune in as we drink up, break it down, and gross ourselves out along the way.
