The Ruins — One Map, One Stranger, Zero Survival Instincts

Summer of ’84 (2018) | Small Towns, Big Suspicions

We’re kicking off our Red, White, and Screwed theme with Summer of ’84, a slow-burn suburban horror mystery full of bike rides, neighborhood stakeouts, questionable adult supervision, and one very suspicious cop next door. This one gave us a lot to talk about, from Davey’s full-time teenage surveillance operation to the movie’s heavy 80s nostalgia and whether a slow burn can still work when one host is getting impatient. Talon connected with the curiosity and investigation side of the story, while Christopher had a much harder time with the pacing and the kid-centered setup. Is Summer of ’84 a creepy small-town thriller that earns its ending, or does it take too long to get there? Grab your walkie-talkie, don’t trust the friendly neighbor too fast, and join us as we break it down. #SummerOf84 #HorrorPodcast #MovieReview #SmallTownHorror #80sHorror #SlowBurnHorror #TrueCrimeHorror #RedWhiteAndScrewed #TwoCentsWeSeeScaryMovies

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil (2010) | A Real Doozy of a Body Count

This week on Two Cents: We See Scary Movies, we wrap up Grave Humor Month with Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, a movie where two perfectly decent hillbillies buy a murder cabin, try to fix it up, and accidentally become the prime suspects in the dumbest college massacre ever committed by the victims themselves. Talon and Christopher head into the woods for a horror comedy full of bad assumptions, worse communication, aggressive stupidity, chainsaws, bees, bowling fingers, and one deeply committed Chad who sees two awkward country boys and immediately decides he is living inside a slasher movie. Tucker and Dale just wanted a vacation home. The college kids brought trauma, judgment, and the cardio capacity of people sprinting directly into natural selection. #TuckerAndDaleVsEvil #HorrorComedy #HorrorPodcast #MovieReview #ScaryMovies #TwoCentsWeSeeScaryMovies

The Babysitter (2017) | Puberty Is Hard, But Satanic Cults Are Worse

This week on Two Cents We See Scary Movies, Talon and Christopher kick off Grave Humor Month with The Babysitter (2017), a Netflix horror comedy that asks the important question: what if Home Alone had more blood, more Satan, and a babysitter who was somehow both amazing and absolutely the worst person to leave alone with your child? Cole thinks he is just sneaking downstairs to see what his cool babysitter Bee does after bedtime. Unfortunately, what she does after bedtime is host a satanic blood ritual with her very attractive, very unstable friend group. From fire pokers through eyeballs to homemade bug spray flamethrowers, this movie takes one anxious twelve-year-old and turns him into a tiny suburban John McClane with trauma. Let’s just say… this is one night of babysitting that goes completely off the rails. The Babysitter is currently available to stream on Netflix. #TheBabysitter #TheBabysitter2017 #NetflixHorror #HorrorComedy #GraveHumor #TwoCentsWeSeeScaryMovies #HorrorPodcast #MovieReviewPodcast #ScaryMovies #CultHorror #SamaraWeaving #JudahLewis #DarkComedy #HorrorFans #PodcastEpisode

The Ruins — One Map, One Stranger, Zero Survival Instincts

Spring Break, Broken Bodies continues, and we're trading prehistoric fish for something arguably worse — plants with a personal vendetta. This week, Christopher leads us through The Ruins (2008): a group of Americans on vacation in Mexico who follow a German stranger they just met into an unmarked jungle to find some ancient ruins, because sure, why not. What follows is killer vines, at least one surgical scene nobody asked for, and an ending that's significantly better on DVD than it was in theaters. Different ecosystem than last week. Same catastrophic decision-making. #TheRuins #HorrorPodcast #BadDecisions #SurvivalHorror #ScaryMovies #MovieBreakdown #HorrorFans #FilmTalk

Piranha 3D (2010) | Spring Break, Bad Decisions, and a Lake Full of Teeth

In this episode of Two Cents: We See Scary Movies, Talon and Christopher review Piranha 3D (2010), the wild spring break horror movie packed with killer fish, nonstop gore, disaster-movie chaos, and one of the most ridiculous creature-feature setups of the 2010s. This horror movie podcast episode breaks down the Jaws-style opening, the underwater dance sequence, the massive piranha attack, the practical gore effects, the bizarre 3D moments, and the stacked cast that somehow includes Elisabeth Shue, Ving Rhames, Christopher Lloyd, Richard Dreyfuss, Jerry O’Connell, and Adam Scott. This is also Christopher’s first official episode as the new co-host of Two Cents, and the first episode in the show’s new video format. The result is a funny, sarcastic, and brutally honest horror movie review of a film that is equal parts bloody, stupid, entertaining, and unforgettable. If you like horror movie reviews, creature features, shark-adjacent terror, spring break horror, campy horror movies, practical gore, and funny movie podcasts, this episode is for you. Next up in the Spring Break Broken Bodies theme: The Ruins. #Piranha3D #HorrorMovieReview #CreatureFeature #SpringBreakHorror #HorrorPodcast #CampyHorror #MovieReview #PiranhaMovie #2010Horror #ScaryMoviePodcast
