Brain Rot - An 80s Horror Podcast

Well, Rotters... the time has come. For the FINAL episode of Brain Rot, I'm joined by the one and only Mates of Hell (Alex Ayling and Brad Hanson) to discuss 1995's RUMPELSTILTSKIN  Toodles xx     ————

What's up, Rotters! For the final episode of Vicious Varsity (and penultimate episode of Brain Rot), I'm joined by long time Brain Rot sufferer Louise Blain to discuss the 1981 Giallo-Slasher hybrid NIGHT SCHOOL   ————

What's up, Rotters! We're back....but not for long. If you haven't heard already, Brain Rot only has three episodes remaining until we pull down the shutters on our VHS store for good. But boy, do we have some corkers to go out with. Today, long time Brain Rot contributor Matt Draper drops by for our final main feed outing together to discuss SILENT MADNESS from 1984   ————

What's up, Rotters! This week, we're coming to you with a bonus episode from the Patreon vault. Earlier this year, Mike Muncer joined me to discuss the wonderfully sleazy, late 80s slasher/thriller OUT OF THE DARK and as a little early Xmas treat, I'm giving you a prezzie in the form of one of my favourite episodes in recent history. For nearly 150 more bonus epsidoes, just head to Patreon.com/SteviesBrainRot  Toodles!

What's up, Rotters! This week, I'm joined by two of my favourite guests Joe La Scola and Sean O'Rourke aka Movie Dumpster to discuss the TROMA trashterpice GIRLS SCHOOL SCREAMERS (1986) Although not originally a TROMA produced movie, once Lloyd and the gang got their hands on it, they made sure to add some unmistakable TROMA touches such as worms, meat hooks and swamp creatures. Do they belong in this movie? Absolutely not. Do they improve this movie? Absolutely. Toodles!   ————

What's up, Rotters! Class is back in session Today, Vicious Varsity continues after our two week hiatus to discuss the 1988 H.P. Lovecraft adaptation THE UNNAMABLE Whilst the VHS cover art for this movie is emblazoned on my mind, I'd never actually plucked up the courage to rent it and so I decided... it's time! I'm joined by the brilliant Justin and B-Ratty of Epic Film Guys! Having previously appeared on the show to discuss movies like Killer Klowns from Outer Space and Demons, their contribution to Vicious Varsity was non-negotiable    ————

What's up, Rotters! This week, Zoran Gvojic (Dead Meat) returns to the Rot to discuss Hell High aka Raging Fury from 1989.  A mix of revenge slasher and prank gone wrong chiller, Hell High plays with the tropes whilst managing to keep you guessing. Well...it kept ME guessing... Zoran saw it all coming. Obvs. Toodles!   ————

Happy Halloween, Rotters! For this year's Halloween special, I'm joined by my good friend and Brain Rot regular JOSHUA TONKS to discuss the almost infamous 'non-Myers' Halloween movie - Halloween III: Season of the Witch from 1982 We discuss the movie's production history, the franchise as a whole and even give our personal rankings for the entire movie series. Toodles!   ————

What's up, Rotters! This week, listener favourite Cody Jamison Strand returns to discuss the TROMA Trashterpiece Class of Nuke 'Em High from 1986 This movie is a firm favourite within B-Movie fandoms and Vicious Varsity would not be complete wihtout its inclusion. From toxic waste monsters to problematic makeup choices, it's time to enroll in the ultimate school of slime ☢️  Toodles!   ————

What's up, Rotters! This week, we're taking a look at the criminally obscure THE MAJORETTES from 1986 (or 1987 depending on where you look) To discuss this bonkers movie, I'm joined by the brilliant author, critic, screenwriter and podcaster BJ COLANGELO If you're not already following her podcast THIS ENDS AT PROM whcih she co-hosts with her wife Harmony... rectify that immediately Toodles!   ————

What's up, Rotters! This week, I'm joined by my Mates of Hell buddies Alex Ayling & Brad Hanson to discuss the 1986 slasher SORORITY HOUSE MASSACRE.  The three of us have covered so many Fulci movies over on Patreon that sometimes it's nice to let them out of their cages for a palete cleanser. Expect microphone-distorting laughter, close to the bone one-liners and extreme diversions. Toodles!   ————

What's up, Rotters! For episode 3 of Vicious Varsity I'm joined by William Hanson - the UK's leading etiquette coach, best selling author and co-host of the enormously popular podcast "Help I Sexted My Boss" We discuss the 1989 Brad Pitt lead slasher - Cutting Class. With its clumsy exposition and noble attemps at satire, this late 80s Trashterpiece had Brain Rot written all over it. Toodles!   ————

What's up, Rotters! For the second episode of Vicious Varsity, I'm joined by Becky Darke and Mike Muncer aka the Dream Warriors to discuss the truly unhinged and joyous KILLER PARTY (1986) This Canadian sorority slasher has hidden low on the radar for decades but we decided it's time for it to show itself! With its indecipherable timeline and hilariously ambiguous killer identity, it deserves a place on the Brain Rot shelf.   ————

What's up, Rotters. We're back. And class is in session. For the first epsiode of Season 5 - Vicious Varsity, I'm joined once again by the incredible multi-hyphenate Michael Varrati In this lesson, we discuss the 1986 prank-gone-wrong slasher SLAUGHTER HIGH

What's up, Rotters! Today we're dropping a bonus episode from the Patreon vault in which Dream Warriors (Becky Darke and Mike Muncer) discuss the 1982 Canadian slasher CURTAINS. Recorded December 2022. This episode is to also announce SEASON 5 of Brain Rot! Coming this summer, the new season will have a theme... For 12 episodes, the series will be entitled VICIOUS VARSITY and will be covering a slew of College/Sorority/High School slashers ranging from mainstream titles like Graduation Day to deep cuts like The Majorettes Pledge now and let the hazing commence www.SteviesBrainRot.com 

What's up, Rotters! To commemorate Donald Trump's financial fraud case, I'm dropping a bonus Mates of Hell episode from the Patreon vault - The New York Ripper (1982) One ripped off New York, one rips through New York. Tenuous, but made it work. If you haven't seen the movie, trigger warnings for discussion of SA For all back-catalogue Mates of Hell episodes, just head to Patreon.com/SteviesBrainRot

What's up, Rotters! This week we're discussing one of my favourite 80s horror Trashterpieces of all time: DEMONI/DEMONS from Lamberto Bava. Produced by Dario Argento and with a soundtrack featuring some of the sickest rock songs, this practical, gooey, FIVE STAR movie has been on my list to cover for a long time.

Make sure you go subscribe to their podcast BRAIN STEW. Enjoy! Toodles! SteviesBrainRot.com

Whats up, Rotters! This week I'm joined by actor and director Colin A. Borden to discuss the very oddly toned SWEET SIXTEEN (1983). Directed by the controversial Jim Sotos, this movie does all the unraveling secretly and leaves the audience like SORRY, WHAT?! But that of course, makes it a perfect Brain Rot victim. www.SteviesBrainRot.com

What's up, Rotters! It's time to activate BEAST MODE

What's up, Rotters? This week my partner-in-slime MATT DRAPER returns to discuss George A Romero's MONKEY SHINES (1988) Adapted from the 1983 novel of the same name, this was Romero's first studio movie.

What's up, Rotters! This week we have a DREAM WARRIORS episode for ya! Mike and Becky join me to discuss Harry Bromley Davenport's third entry in his Xtro trilogy- WATCH THE SKIES. Halloween store effects, two versions of Tom Hanks and some visual scaling problems makes this movie an endearing Trashterpice. Toodles! www. SteviesBrainRot.com 

What's up, Rotters Our Dream Warrirors Xtro 3 episode will now drop next Monday.  And so, as a little bonus episode, I'm dropping part 1 of my ongoing Patreon audio essay series 'WHY HORROR?', in which I document my personal journey with the genre from the very beginning. Hope you enjoy! Toodles!

Welcome back, Rotters! We're kicking off season 4 with a BANG. Or should that be a SLASH? I had the privilege to sit down with my childhood hero and horror icon - ROBERT ENGLUND. In this intro episode, we discuss his wildly extensive career including working with Roger Corman on Galaxy of Terror, his directorial debut 976-EVIL and of course, the Freddy Kruger effect. It was such an honour and a lifelong dream come true. I even asked him for his Elm Street rankings

What's up, Rotters! We've reached the end of the season, *Alexa, play Goodbye by Spice Girls* but what a season it has been. To see us out, I'm joined by RuPaul's Drage Race UK finalist - Ella Vaday - to discuss an odd little entry into our favourite decade, SACRED STIFF (1987). We try to make sense of several moments in the movie; the lamp of appropriation, the lack of communication and the good old 80s patriarchy. If you're not ready to say goodbye, come and join us over on Patreon where we'll be continuing our journey through the best/worst horror movie of the 80s & 90s. All links can be found here: www.SteviesBrainRot.com Toodles!

What's up, Rotters! For the penultimate episode of Season 3 of Brain Rot, I'm joined by the awesome Toni Piluso of Hack the Movies!  We sit down to chat about the criminally underrated 1982 home invasion slasher - ALONE IN THE DARK. With huge performances from Jack Palance, Martin Landau and Donald Pleasence, this pre-Freddy New Line shocker packs an impressive punch and includes one of the greatest twist endings in genre cinema.

What's up, Rotters! This week I'm joined by Joshua Tonks to discuss one of my favourite 80s slashers EVER - The House on Sorority Row (1982).
