Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast

For our next creative writing exercise, we're going to explore a social occasion you're familiar with. Think of a time you spent with other people where you made yourself or were made emotionally vulnerable, then launch away from the factuality of that occasion, and instead pilot it towards the style of storytelling you've been most interested in lately and stretch the truth you remember with the truth you're trying to achieve. It's another episode of Loathsome Things: a podcast for emerging writers and authors to find their voice, find themselves, and find greater success in the literary world.

This time-a-rooski, we reviewed the first film to be shot in Raymond Spottiswoode's "Depth Dimension" 3-D. It's a nutty little Canadian flick about that new-fangled "psychiatry" my loved ones won't stop going on about, and boy does this movie display a firm grasp over what that is! What we have here is a visual effects buffet sandwiched between long bouts of really crap 1961 people having terrible movie scenes together. This one is totally worth your time, so tune in to Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast for scaredy cats like you and your cat to listen to together in the dark instead of facing your inner demons!

We kept up our annual tradition of visiting a Frankenlotter... Frank Hookenl... Frank Henenlotter folm, film. A Frank Henenlotter film. This time, it's Frankenhanker... Frankenhooker.

A rare entry to our dislustrious "DO NOT WATCH" list, this penultimate Hammer film has a cool demon puppet, great Christopher Lee face stuff, a top-notch crucifix, and some stuff I won't type because that's not the type of searches we want to be a result for. It's bad. Do yourself a favor by just listening to us and not watching the movie!

You can't get much more Loathsome than The Thing, itself. You've got action, comedy, explosions, the greatest practical monster effects showcase, and the very most good boy in movie history. Go watch the movie again, it's totally worth it!

Join us for our grand 100th episode, wherein we cover the folk horror of all folk horrors, The Wicker Man!!

Sorry about the previous audio version. How's this?

A Stephen King novel adapted for the screen, directed by David Cronenberg, and with Christopher Walken playing the main character. Surely this is a recipe for an out-of-this-world amazing horror cinema experience... right?  Johnny Walken Black wakes up with low-grade molestation powers and angles his career toward spending alone time with children while folks at the highest levels of society disregard his scams, or maybe he can see the future when people will die... or sometimes the past when someone who was thought dead didn't die? It doesn't matter, what matters is that I'm getting something, someone important to you wants to tell you something. Do these words mean anything to you? "Loathsome Things: A Podcast You Want to donate large sums of money to so you can finally know what late relative really thought of you!" Josh woke up from a lifelong Windows-user coma and suddenly had the ability to limp along using Linux! Will it impact the audio quality of this episode? Wait and see! And by "wait and see" I mean "make haste and listen now!"

A Shaw Brothers kung-fu giallo from the unsung king of Hong Kong cult films. Let the bodies coat with worms! It's Loathsome Things: A podcast about the horror movies your mom wouldn't be happy to find you watching!

Charmingly outdated-by-1981-standards practical effects, wild borrowings from the best of recent and distant masterpieces of influence, and maybe a pinch of the ol' booger sugar informed this revered Italian director's take on the supernatural something set in 1980 New Orleans for reasons not fathomable, but from a fathomableness of The Beyond! That's right, the year was 2024, the medium was a podcast, and the rss feed was Loathsome Things: A podcast for horror movie fans who don't expect too much from their podcasts!

Welcome to the Neo-French Extremity? New French Post-Extremity? Who can say? It's a really rad zombie movie about youthful, drug-fueled sex and paranoia, poor parenting, and a very strange relationship with authority... or is it? Enter one of the top 5 greatest zombie movies of all time. Possibly THE greatest? I don't know. It's Loathsome Things: a high production value storytelling podcast known to cause constipation and diarrhea in child and dogs under 10 years of age.

Not actually about Brian De Palma's female siblings, this film is instead about Brian De Palma weird, hazy, perhaps deeply subconscious feelings about white women, their role in society, their capabilities as functional humans, and the role that black men play in his feelings. Also, it's a Hitchcockian something-or-other in a decidedly pre-masterpiece phase of Brian's directorial development. Call it De Palchcockian. Anyway, it's actually a pretty enjoyable flick most of the time, and warms our very specific cockles due to its precursoriness to Basket Case, a film especially beloved by Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast you can turn to for sound financial and lifestyle expertise.

Is it folk horror? Is it Babadookie? Is it sci-fi? We're not really sure from whence this sub-step monster was spawned, but we know we mostly liked it with a few quabbles. How long can we spend discussing the quabbles you ask? Well, you're in luck, because you're about to find out while listening to this thoughtful and un-biased think piece about the 2024 horror film Daddy's Head nowhere else but here on Loathsome Things: the best podcast to listen to while going to sleep if you're an idiot.

New? Not so much. French? Absolue! Extremity? Not for long. Join us as we explore the surprising twists and turns of this horror masterpiece directed by a real piece of work. That's right, it's Pascal Laugier's 2008 masterpiece: Martyrs. Are we all victims, monsters, or dancers? You be the judge, then witness your own guilt... or something. Bourgeoisie!

Do we mention Nicolas Cage? Did we find out that the Devil makes a variety of cameos in this movie before we recorded this episode? Are we more giddy with movie-watching glee than we are actually making a podcast? Find out the answers in this Satanic episode of Loathsome Things: the Horror Movie Podcast your mom wouldn't let you listen to, but then you secretly did and who knows what will happen because of it.

We watched a cool little indie flick about a family stuck in their bathroom during an apocalypse, and somewhere along the way we lost the full entirety of our cool. Was it before we even started recording? You tell us after listening to this high-quality film review featuring bleeding-edge audio editing and extremely professional vocal skills.

This film is a strong recommend from us. Enjoy a uniquely splatterific experience!   Rodrigo Aragão is from Espirito Santo, Brazil. His father was a magician and cinema owner. Rodrigo was influenced by The Empire Strikes Back and Evil Dead. He worked as a make-up effects artist in the 90s until he started with his own horror play, Mausoleum, and then started directing short films, then premiered his first feature film, Mud Zombies, in 2008. He just became one of our favorite gory movie directors, thanks to this gem.

O cruel world with such people in it! Here, we review the classic Swedish masterpiece about a Swedish lord, his Swedish daughter, their Swedish family, some Swedish pagans, and a trio of Swedish brothers.

Add this one to your watchlist of remakes that may be better than the sequel, and definitely among to top of any list of high-quality reboots. Clive Barker's non-Hellraiser franchise is brought back around to no longer focus on the plight of white women in this stunning, complex, and challenging reframing of the classic. And here are some links to the figures discussed in the closing credits.

Turns out, you might get something like this. Show up for what was obviously Robert Carlyle's inspiration for Rumpelstiltskin, stay for the weird sense of human and overall high level of enjoyability of this episode of Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast that you haven't listened to yet!

Somewhere in the Finnish reindeer wilderness, there is a mountain that is secretly the gigantic sacred grave of MFing Santa Claus. In this episode of Loathsome Things, you'll hear us review the actions taken by a squad of rugged snow-daddies who, perhaps, receive a bit too much focus on whether or not they have sufficiently spanked their sons. What's more, we'll reveal to answers to all things and we detail their adventures,including: The Mystery of the Too-Soon-Dead Reindeer How Old Should My Son Be Before I Give Him a Gun? How to Shop for the Santa Antiquarian Who Already Has Everything The Case of the Naked Codger How to Eat Cookies for Dinner Whatever Shall We Do with All This Dynamite?   Check out John's first published micro-fiction in the Year Five edition of Dark Moments and Patreons, available here: and wherever ebooks are sold!

From the director who brought us some actually good episodes of Star Trek later in his career, this movie… it's terrible. Bad jokes, unexciting nudity from Rebecca Balding, and one of the worst movie monsters you'll ever see. You know that uncle or cousin of yours, the one that puts off an icky vibe? This is probably one of their favorite movies. So, skip the flick and just enjoy our re-telling of the story that is the movie The Boogens.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. What else is there to say? Content Warning: this film contains nearly as much deeply disturbing gruesome topic matter as it does wildly offensive ableism. And since it's in the movie, it is also in the words we speak. Join us as we revel in the just amazingness that is, as one man was mis-quoted as putting it, “the most upsetting movie I didn't hate.” It is a masterpiece and it is deeply troubling. If you worry you might not be up for the film, give us a listen as we chop up this movie into its constituent cuts and plop it down fresh and hot onto your ear-plates. That's the kind of service and quality you can expect when you listen to Loathomse Things: A Horror Movie Podcast by two dudes who don't live in Texas and in no way identify with the characters in this movie or recognize any of the settings, tropes, or styles.

Do you ever think about the town you live in? Did your ancestors live there? What did they do when they lived there? Were they bad to other people, maybe women or indigenous populations? Do you ever wonder if you are them? Has a doctor ever made you feel like you're a buckle-hatted pilgrim wielding a knife of revelation while inducing seizures in your chaw-addled brain? Well, then you may be a Pendleton, of the Devonsville Pendletons! You see, 300 years ago the entire town of Devonsville did a witch hunt. Later, they were all named Pendleton and had much less facial hair than their ancestors. There may have also been some Warleys, who may have written everything down in some Gideon's Bible-sized journals for no good reason. Also, something about belts made out of finger bones. I don't know. This week we reviewed a movie that was asking the question “could a witch hunt happen today?” But that was 40 years ago, and here we are today among a mass of idiots banning books, actively organizing to overthrow the government, and persecuting anyone who isn't a cis-gendered lily-white Christian. So join us in the flames as we place a curse upon the whole melty-faced lot in this most fundamentalist episode of Loathsome Things: a podcast for people who want to grow closer to god day by glorious day.

Did you know that when you forget your dreams, they get mad at you? It doesn't matter if those are dreams of attractive young women in thin gauze, skinless bears coming for you in the closet, fake little brothers with bulgy eyes, or janitors with prosthetic limbs that fall right off. You see, when you go beyond dream's door, the hatred doesn't discriminate. Maybe it's a fleshy tooth-book chomping your foot, maybe it's a balloon that just wants to follow you and make an annoying sound before exploding, maybe it's not-Pennywise cackling from the sewers or a horde of non-aggressive zombies. It just doesn't matter. The dreams you've forgotten all hate you equally and if you tell a typewriter about those dreams, they will come for you and they will come for your gun-happy professor and his TAs.

We reviewed a classic and scared John as a child and confused Josh as an adult. Imagine The Goonies, but with big naked California tits, fountains of blood, and the childhood drama of having everyone you love die. There, that's Phantasm. Is it as simple as that? No! It's much more confusing! Phantasm features multiple allusions to Dune, some strange overlap with Star Wars, and manages to be a strikingly singular piece of storytelling. Do we have any idea what the story it's telling is? Can we explain it in the slightest? Did Josh tell a story about going to a place while unaware that he was getting sick and did the onset of those symptoms cause him to really screw up the end of this recording? There's only one way to find out, by listening to the entirety of this ultra-high quality and exquisitely professional episode of Loathsome Things: the best podcast for fans of Phantasm and the only podcast you should listen to if you're trying to figure out how to do a good job at making a podcast and writing podcast notes for your podcast podcast.

In 1990, first-time director Francis Teri pulled together a tiny budget, a team of mostly non-actors, and some really cool practical effects to make an amazingly tasteless, uncomfortably semi-humorous, and entirely baffling horror movie about a young woman receiving an abortion against her will and her aborted fetus becoming one of the most mind-bogglingly powerful horror movie monsters of all time. That's right, it's an abortion monster, and boy does it have a really weird plan! Tune in for an exploration of the thing you didn't think could go wrong when you outlaw abortion in this episode of Loathsome Things: a horror movie podcast that cares about the mother's life and the baby's life, but absolutely hates men.

The Jo Brothers cover The Mo Brothers with this delightful jaunt down the road to a slasher commonly referred to as The Indonesia Chainsaw Massacre for entirely appropriate reasons. What starts off as torture porn then devolves into madcap mindless violence before finally metamorphosing into some really tremendous fight scenes that make the film's early goings-on worth it. This movie is an underappreciated gem that suffers for being from a country that western audiences have largely ignored. Listen to us break it down and really get after it in this all-new episode of Loathsome Things: A Highly-rated Podcast for People Like Me!   Also, we end up talking about our feelings about Rob Zombie… again… because we're two cool dudes.
