Drag Mitch To Hell

We're back with an informal discussion covering a ton of Summer flicks, plus some oldies I sneak in at the top of the show. Movies covered include... Oldies: Dirty Money/La Maudite Galette (1972), Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999), Deathgame (1977) 2024 fare: The Instigators, Wolverine & Deadpool, Trap, Cuckoo, Maxxxine, Twisters and Longlegs.

We're going with a modern film for the latest episode, one that I've quickly warmed too and would like champion as much as possible, but you'll have to listen to find out if Mitch feels similarly or if I've dragged him to Hell!

Ok. We recorded this a little while ago, but things got busy. The important thing is it's here now! Stick it out until the end to hear an insane review of a truly unhinged movie!

Grow a rat tail and get a little weird with us while we check out... NEW YORK NINJA.

We're back! It's been a while so buckle up while we discuss some of the things we've been watching.

For this episode, we're disassociating from ourselves with 1997's Lost Highway.

We're back and talking 2023! Listen and find out what worked and didn't work for us.

We're back for some holiday fun and we're joined by Rob Bellamy (of The Movie Madhouse podcast). If you have some holiday travel, or need some down time from the family to reset, we hope this episode provides you at least a modicum of joy and reprieve.

We're back for our season 4 opener with some atomic celluloid in form of... THE TOXIC AVENGER. Since the newest iteration just premiered at Fantastic Fest, I figured it's high time to subject Mitch to New Jersey's finest. This is a pretty nasty movie with some childish humor, so tread lightly into this expletive-laden episode.

We're in between seasons, so we're just going to take it easy and talk about a few things we've seen! At the end, I'll review the pick for our season 4 opener!

We've finally made it to the end of Season 3 and we're going out with a bang. It's a long one, so diaper up! We'll be back possibly with a micro hell then our season 4 opener.

It's about time we look at some movies from the homeland with some appreciation and admiration. For those not in the know, have no fear, Can-Con is simply Canadian content, so we're starting what will be a yearly trek into the Northern film wilderness. We'll get weird. We'll get wild. I'll have a weird, sad tangent on my personal fears over the looming spectre of artificial intelligence. Films discussed include: Clearcut, Slash/Back, Viking, I Like Movies, Blackberry, The Dirties and Operation Avalanche.

It's time! The end of our third season is drawing near and, with that, it's time for Mitch to attempt to drag me to Hell. Listen as we dive into what might be the most oddly cast film about the Italian mob to ever exist... KNOCKAROUND GUYS!

Ok, recording this episode was a nightmare. 3 sessions. 2 platforms. But it's done. Sadly, the recording audio is a bit lacking here, but we'll be back to normal on our next go-around, so bear with us! Anyways, listen until the end of the episode to find out Mitch's movie pick to drag me to hell!

We're trudging deep into the rural Belgium muck with 2004's Calvaire! Listen and find out if this movie can DRAG MITCH TO HELL!

We've been busy filming, so it's been more than a minute, but we're back, baby! On this episode, we discuss Cocaine Bear, Plane, When I Consume You, The Inspection, Last Shift, The Outwaters, Knock At The Cabin, Love Is Blind season 4, The Last of Us, We're All Going To The World's Fair, Black Bird, Pale Blue Eye and, of course, SCREAM 6!

Valentine's day is silly, but do you know what isn't silly? My Bloody Valentine! Make yourself a bed of roses and listen to find out whether Mitch has a cold, dead heart and hates this Canadian slasher classic. Also, I had too recently listened to the director's commentary prior to recording and, as a result, refer to the character of Howard as Alfie (the actor portraying him) throughout this episode. MY MISTAKE. Anyways, enjoy!

It's been another year and here we are... just a couple of miscreants looking back at the year with both fondness and vitriol. We'll be going through a slew of new and old categories to highlight some of last year's films. If you're looking for anything to check out, we'll be listing our top 10 lists at the tail end! We'll be back with another Valentine's Day-themed movie real, real soon.

We're taking another go at an erotic thriller and this time it's... BASIC INSTINCT. Jovana has also returned to defend Basic Instinct as a goddamn masterpiece -- a camp I am firmly in as well. Where will Mitch land? Listen to find out!

Happy fucking New Year! I (Stefan) ended up with COVID, so we decided to record a random episode on one of the worst-reviewed films of 2022... Firestarter! This will undoubtedly vie for the spot of least listened to episode. Anyways, Mitch and I set out to watch what we expected to be a turd, and it turned out to... well, not be that. We'll be back to regular programming with an episode on Basic Instinct followed by an episode on our best and worst films of 2022.

It may have many names, but who cares! In this episode, we're diving into 1989's Deadly Games. Will this French oddity be enough to drag Mitch to Hell? You'll have to listen to find out!

We screwed up. There wasn't a single movie we wanted to talk about that we had both seen. But don't you worry. Instead, you get to hear our thoughts on Avatar 2. Who wanted this? No one. Will you enjoy it? I have no clue. Aside from our rants on Avatar 2, we discuss several films/TV shows including: The Leech, Banshees of Inisherin, Holy Spider, Thor: Love & Thunder, Black Adamn, Terrifier 2 & We Own The Night. Enjoy!

In this episode, Mitch and I are getting slicked up in a thick layer of grease to watch The Greasy Strangler. Will this true oddity be enough to drag Mitch to hell? Will the term "bullshit artist" win him over? Be a hootie tootie disco cutie and listen to find out!

In preparation for Halloween, we've been powering through a ton of horror movies, including Halloween Ends (one of the wildest theatre experiences I've had in a minute). Did we like it? Listen to find out! Movies/television shows also discussed: Barbarian, Smile, Bait 3D, Midnight Club, From, Fall & more!

It's been a minute, but we're back and in time for Halloween! On this episode, I'm putting Mitch in the ringer with 1982's XTRO. Will this alien abduction horror flick drag Mitch to hell? Listen and find out!

We're back! It's been a minute, so we're doing a bit of a movie round-up that'll culminate in a discussion of Jordan Peele's newest certified ripper Nope. Listen to find out what we liked and disliked! 

We're starting the season off right by having a special guest on this episode... Christina from the World of Horror podcast joins us to discuss Prano Bailey Bond's Censor! In this episode, we discuss forbidden media, murky memories, and mass hysteria. Will Mitch hate this film? You've gotta listen to find out! Also, please go listen to the World of Horror podcast wherever you get your podcasts. 

Sadly, COVID has further delayed our season 3 opening episode, so we've pivoted and decided to cover a movie you've all been clambering for... DEMONIC. I'll wait for the crickets to die down... Ok. Listen as we discuss the odd career trajectory of Neil Blomkamp, culminating in this absolute trainwreck of a movie. I'll apologize in advance for my pure garbage audio since I had to swap recording locations due to some household renos. But, hey, at least the audio's better than a certain scene in Demonic!

WE'RE BACK... kind of. We're in-between seasons and figured we'd chat about things we've been watching. The films on this episode include: Crimes of The Future, Emergency, Top Gun: Maverick, Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City, The Sadness and All The Old Knives. Listen and find out what we think!

Just as we had done with the end of season 2, we are ascending with a movie we all like... Ari Aster's Midsommar. Listen as we trash academic anthropology and talk toxic relationships and hallucinogenic juice! Of course, thanks for sticking it out with us for another season, and rate and review us wherever you got your podcasts. We'll be back with season 3 soon!

In this Lil Hell episode, we're talking about the biggest piece of horseshit to ever grace your television screens... The Ultimatum. We also doc the true crime doc series I'll Be Gone In The Dark along with Ti West's new film X! Also mentioned are Savageland (2015) and Severance (tv series, not the horror movie). Listen until the end for some final reveals for next season. 

Well, we've made it. We've arrived at our penultimate season 2 episode, one where Mitch makes a concerted effort to drag Stefan to Hell. For this task, Mitch has chosen Sing Street, which contains two of Stefan's most reviled things: kids and singing. Will it be enough to twist the celluloid knife and create a truly painful experience? Listen and find out.  

We're back to raise a Lil Hell! This episode's release was delayed a week, so hopefully that makes the weird St. Patrick's day comment a little less jarring. Anyways, during this episode, we discuss: Drive My Car, Alligator, Alone In The Dark, Offseason, The Fallout, The Silent Partner, The Worst Person In The World, The Decline, and, of course, The Batman! Listen until the end where Mitch reveals his pick to Drag Stefan to Hell! Also, go see X. It rules.

We've been listening. We know exactly what you, dear listener, want. So we have a very special episode for you... One where we explore our undying love for a certain type of program -- REALITY DATING SHOWS! Listen as we discuss the second season of LOVE IS BLIND. 

Valentine's Day might be over, but that doesn't mean you have to stop watching hot and heavy movies! In honour of all awards that Power of The Dog is up for, we are looking at one of Jane Campion's less well-received movies... In The Cut. Will Mitch hate his time? Listen and find out!

In this episode, Jovana gives her roundup of Oscar nom watches, Mitch talks about 2021's Mass and Stefan hates on Netflix's flaccid Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022). The final moments of this episode are spent on Scream (2022). For those who haven't seen it, we offer an initial spoiler-free review, and then, for those who have seen it, we offer a spoiler-filled review. Enjoy!

Do you like Motorcycles, ninjas, synth rock, and cocaine? Well, we've got the movie for you... MIAMI CONNECTION! In this episode, Stefan presents Mitch and Jovana with the holy grail of "good-bad" movies. Will they hate it? Listen and find out! 

Hey, this is an extra special episode! Listen to us as we gush over the best films and performances of 2021! Oh, and we also end with what we've been disappointed by, so stick it out until the end. Also, Jovana rejoins Mitch and Stefan after producing a fucking human being.

Happy New Year! We're back to talk about a whole slew of movies and series including Candyman (2021), Dopesick, Yellowjackets,  Titane (2021), Being The Ricardos (2021), Werewolves Within (2021), and Mitch and Stefan go head to head with opposing views on Don't Look Up (2021)!    Also mentioned: Lauren Beuke's novel Broken Monsters and the graphic novel Gideon Falls. Both are heavily recommended, so check 'em out! 

Happy holidays from Drag Mitch To Hell. To celebrate the season, Stefan is forcing Mitch to watch Krampus! We are also joined by our first guest host... Rob of The Movie Madhouse podcast! We likely wouldn't have started a podcast if it hadn't been for Rob letting us join in on his show. So grab some boozey eggnog and enjoy! 

We're back to raise a Lil Hell! During this episode, Mitch takes about the Up documentary films and Stefan shares his thoughts on the Mitch recommended Riders of Justice as well as a VHS '94 and Dexter: New Blood. The two then dive into our main subjects... Last Night In Soho and the new Showtime series Yellowjackets. We also have a listener poll at the end of the episode for anyone brave souls that make it until the end. Give us your suggestions! Follow us on Instagram @Terminalburrower

On this episode, we're going to prison with 1991's Wedlock. This is a wonderful slice of b-movie, which stars such amazing talent like Rutger Hauer, Joan Chen, Mimi Rogers, Steven Tobolowski and Sam Remar. Listen as the gang discusses their own brushes with the law, 90's fashion, and "key pouches." Find out of this oddball good-bad movie drags Mitch to Hell!

We have one more Halloween-tinged episode for you folks! On this episode of Lil Hell we discuss the zeitgeisty Squid Games, Midnight Mass, Old, Someone's Inside Your House, Seance, Candyman (2021) & Halloween Kills.  We also reveal what our next movie is! Stay tuned to find out. 

It's October! To celebrate, we're kicking off the Halloween season with, well, Halloween III: Season of The Witch. Will the absence of Michael Myers be enough to lose Mitch? Will he be able to tolerate the obnoxious Silver Shamrock jingle? Listen and find out! Also on the episode, Mitch and Jovana answer the hard-hitting question: Tom Atkins, hot or not? I also mispronounce Quatermass on this episode. Whatever. Fight me.

Lil Hell is back! On this go-around, schedules have aligned, allowing Jovana to join forces. Mitch strongarms me into watching American Animals (2018), and I counter by forcing him to watch The Empty Man (2020). Yeah, it has a terrible name, but I promise it doesn't deserve the large swath of negative reviews and the pretty sad release it was given. Jovana talks religio-spiritual thematics with The Master (2012) and A Serious Man (2009). Full disclosure: this episode ends in exasperation with my rant on how terrible a movie Malignant is. It's a position I will not yield. I also arrive at a whole other place, a place I never imagined I'd be -- a pro-piracy place. Hear me out. If you can listen beyond that (hi-five) then you will be properly rewarded as we reveal what our next Halloween-tinged film is going to be!

On this episode, Stefan forces Mitch to watch his first John Waters film -- Serial Mom (1994). Find out if he hated his time! Coincidentally, Jovana published an article on this film in Cleo (link below), so also check that out! Also on this episode, the film pals tangent into stories from high school, which includes a committed performance in Hamlet, and the time Stefan saw a dead body. Enjoy! Jovana's article: http://cleojournal.com/2016/08/18/cant-stop-wont-stop-compulsion-and-comedy-in-serial-mom/

Lil Hell is... back! On this casual episode, we discuss the most glorious television program to have ever graced the cathode ray tube... F-BOY ISLAND! If that's too far removed from our genre fare, we also gush over the criminally underseen Canadian film, Siege (1983), before moving on over to the WW2 submarine supernatural thriller Below (2002). Also discussed: Shadow In The Clouds, The Oak Room, The Dead Zone and Riders of Justice.

For this episode, we've opened a portal to a demonic realm with 1987's The Gate. This slice of satanic panic horror is a childhood gem for me, and I'm hoping Mitch, who doesn't have an ounce of nostalgia for this flick, will absolutely hate every second of it. Listen to find out!

Welcome to the first of many generalist episodes... LIL HELL. Smaller. Faster. Cuter? After each of our more traditional movie episodes, we'll now have a Lil Hell drop where we offer reviews/recommendations of media we've been consuming (movies, television, books, graphic novels, etc.). At the end of these interstitial episodes, we'll reveal what our next movie will be, so stay tuned.  Covered on this episode: Lake Mungo, No Sudden Move, Love Island, Too Hot To Handle, Devs, Censor, and our main event, Fear Street (1994 & 1978)

On our season 2 opener, we're forcing poor Mitch to gaze into the cathode ray tube and watch David Cronenberg's Videodrome. Find out whether or not Mitch has ended up in Hell! The gang also talks kink, censorship, and Ontario film history!

It's our season 1 finale! To celebrate, we've selected a movie we've all had fond memories of... Ex Machina (2014). Will it hold up for everyone? Listen and find out! Also, on this episode, we discuss the Mare of Easttown finale along with Army of The Dead.
