Banished to the Blackhole

We have something special for Valentine's Day, it's the return of the Series Spotlight and it's a series so big we had to split it across two episodes! That's right, Series Spotlight returns with Josh, Chris, and Mike talking about the Alien franchise. Part 1 will go over Alien, Aliens, Alien 3, and Alien Resurrection. We recorded this first before doing our "list" episodes so some stuff said may seem out of place, but it was so big it needed the extra love and care (that's code for "there were some technical difficulties"). We go into what we liked and didn't like of each movie, some fun little trivia, and more of our usual rants and side conversations. Enjoy, and get ready for Part 2 when we tackle the rest of the series.

Happy New Year everyone! We're back once again with another fun list, this time it's directors that we would like to see come back to horror. I think this is something that everyone can relate to. We recorded this at the end of last year and since then two of our picks actually had stuff announced so the magic we put out into the universe is already working! We cut those segments but unfortunately you can still hear the overexcited puppy in the background. Listen, enjoy, and let us know what you think. Who else should be on the list? Do you agree or disagree with who we listed?

Here we are once again with a list for you all to enjoy. Chris, Mike, and Josh discuss some scenes from movies that stuck with them for years to come and there's even a submission from a listener who suggested this list! Give it a listen and see if these scenes messed you up too or maybe you have some others you'd like to clue us in to!

We are back!! We took a bit of a break and we're back now with a retooled format to the show. This week's episode is our first of our List series and we talking about Annoying Children in Horror. This is all in good fun and is in no way a definitive (or even ranked) list. Just wanted to have some fun talking about what we love most: Horror movies! Lists aren't all we will bring you, so stay tuned to see what else the future brings. What did you think? Agree or disagree with our list? Like the format? Let us know on all our social platforms.

What better way to end the year 2020 than with Mike being in quarantine and having to record remotely leading to technical issues! Here's a bonus mini episode that's our picks to watch for Christmas time horror. Chris and Mike give 3 picks while Josh yells at Mike for stealing his one. This was originally going to be a part of the full episode but you all loved the Halloween special so much we decided to do it again for Christmas. Listen, enjoy, watch some movies, and stay safe and healthy. Full episode coming soon.

Even in the year 2020 we want to be thankful for things in horror. Will Mike donate his brain to science? Listen to find out as well as our reviews for Possessor and Haunting of Bly Manor, Thanksgiving fare like the two Nov. Into the Dark episode (Flesh & Blood and Pilgrim), Thankskilling and Blood Rage, our Series Spotlight on the Laid to Rest series, and our Assignment (from a listener!) for Eden Lake. For some reason there's lots of discussion on Career Opportunities and The Sarah Connor Chronicles too. I don't know, we recorded on Friday the 13th, things get weird. Enjoy and find out what brought the buckets!

Sound the alarms! This is it, the actual regular episode recorded for the month of October! After our recommendations for Halloween (heard last bonus episode) Chris, Mike, and Josh talk about some things coming out on streaming, we discuss Verotika, Chris visits We Summon the Darkness now that it's on Netflix to see if he agrees with Mike from a few episodes ago, we do the Series Spotlight on the Re-Animator series, and wrap up this episode with the Assignment: Under the Skin. The month that gives us Halloween deserves for us to give it an extra long episode so listen and join in on the discussion with us. We discuss so much nonsense that you all must have something to say about SOMETHING we said! Enjoy!

After getting carried away talking about recommendations for things to watch on Halloween this year, we decided to just cut it all from the episode... and make it its own episode! Chris, Mike, and Josh give 3 recommendations each and we discuss why we love them so much. What makes more sense for a horror podcast than to have a special episode in the month of October for Halloween. We hope you enjoy and let us know what you think of our choices. Stay tuned for our regularly scheduled episode next week!

This month's episode we discuss remakes and Haunting of... Season 2 coming to Netflix. We also Talk about the movie Kill List, the Shudder Original - The Shed, our Series Spotlight on the Maniac Cop Series, and finish things off with the Assignment: Last Shift. Mandela Effect is in.... um, effect as we discuss this as well as ask the question "Is Weekend At Bernie's II the best zombie movie ever?" You'll learn who Alan Smithee is and question is the Simulation is Real. Enjoy our nonsense and join in on the fun!

In this extra large episode we cover some items in the news, movies we watched since the last episode, talk about the Wishmaster series, and finish things off with our Assignment from the last show: Body Melt. You will notice we talk about video as we have launched a video version of the show as well. Grab your depression sandwich and take a ride with us. NOTE: This episode was recorded on 7-31-20.

Our grand return on our new home. The Banished Boys talk Becky, Anthologies, Resident Evil 8, and so much more along with our latest Assigned Viewing: The Hearse.
