Episode 14: Leprechaun (1993)

Episode 17: Hard Rock Zombies (1985)

"I wanna hold your hand..."Rock music and horror movies are often at times a great mixture. SPOILERS: That is not the case with the subject of this episode of the podcast. You may ask yourself after reading that, "How bad could it be?" Well, both of us turned the film off during our initial watches less than 15 minutes in.Oh, boy. Where do we start because this movie has everything and not in a good way. Sh*tty looking zombies. Bad rock music. Stupid townsfolk. Evil dwarves. A werewolf grandma. And if that wasn't dumb enough, Adolf and his evil group attempt to make a comeback.The things we sit and watch for your entertainment. Well, hopefully you're entertained with our reviews because this film (and that is being said VERY loosely), has zero entertainment value.Wish us luck as we contemplate ever considering an idea from Shelley ever again. Sigh... It's Episode 17 of "Watch WHAT, now?" and we're discussing Hard Rock Zombies, I guess.

Episode 16: Maximum Overdrive (1986)

"Honey! C'mon over here, Sugar-buns. This machine just called me an a**hole!"There's a certain stigma attached to the majority of Stephen King horror movies: they're all terrible. Some are so bad they're good and some are unwatchable. The subject of this episode has a reputation for both and we'll decide which opinion is more justified.Take one Brat Packer, add Lisa Simpson, mix in a handful of other "interesting" characters, and then dump them at a truck stop that is under attack by a bunch of automobiles and other machines that have come to life and you'll end up with Maximum Overdrive.Based on his own short story "Trucks," Stephen King decided to go from the writer's room to the director's chair for this one and (be it good or bad) brought his alcoholism and cocaine addiction along with him. The man was so drunk and coked out of his mind that he doesn't remember much of the experience and hasn't directed a movie since. Sounds perfect for this podcast, doesn't it?So come on down to The Dixie Boy with us. It'll be a memorable time for sure.

Episode 15: Trilogy of Terror (1975)

"Operator, get me the police! I DON'T KNOW where I'm located, just get me the police, there's a... there's a... just get me the police, PLEASE?"We all have moments that may traumatize us and that could include watching certain movies at certain ages. Melissa remembers watching Trilogy of Terror on television at three years old and has been afraid to revisit it...until now. When this movie is brought up in discussion, the subject matter is always about how terrifying the Zuni Fetish Doll is in the final story. But what about the other two tales in this anthology? Do they hold up to the final chapter with the doll? Are they a good enough hook to keep the viewer interested? What year did this movie really come out? And will Melissa be able to sleep at night after facing her fear of seeing "that f**king doll" one more time? All that and more will be discussed in Episode 15!

Episode 14: Leprechaun (1993)

"Nathan, that was no f**kin' bear.." Before Jennifer Aniston was busy hanging at the Central Perk, she was in North Dakota fighting an evil little Irish imp that just wanted his gold back. Well, we all got to start somewhere. Oh, boy. Lots to unpack with this one. One host understands how goofy the premise is and kind of allows it to unfold. The other doesn't care and hates it from beginning to end. From awful child acting and it being way more comedy than horror, to using children's toys as weapons and the director's obsession with showing off what brand of footwear the characters are wearing, there isn't a question that isn't asked. But hey. At least when it became Bugs Bunny and Wile E. Coyote, even the most upset host of the show admitted to laughing. We guess there's that.

Episode 13: The Cabin in the Woods (2011)

"Okay, I'm drawing a line in the f**king sand, here. Do not read the Latin." We all know the tropes when it comes to horror movies. There's always a certain type of character. They always just HAVE to have sex. The group ALWAYS splits up. But what if this was purposely made to happen by people in an underground facility, watching the groups every move? And what if said group is doing it so they can appease the Ancient Ones and keep the Earth from being destroyed? Yes you read that description right. Join us as we discuss this very smart love letter to the horror genre. It's meta. It's funny. It's bloody. It's The Cabin in the Woods.
