 This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM wrap up their month of Xmas horror movies with one good movie and one bad movie. Carnage for Christmas is worth seeing, even if it suffers a bit from bad sound. The Fright Before Christmas is just a big waste of everyone's time. Tune in for miserable round of horror trivia, and stay a ranked list. 

 This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM are again joined by Rob Rector to talk two more Xmas movies. The 13 Slays of Xmas is as boring as it is way too long. Xmas Tale, on the other hand, is worth your time. Tune in for a mini movie review and stay for a second, much more pretentious movie review. 

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM are joined by Rob Rector to ring in the season with two budget Xmas horror movies. The anthology movie Twas the Night attempts to moralize its violence, while Slay Ride is very clear on who is getting punished and why. Tune in for a disappointing movie review and stay for a tangential conversation about how The Purge works. 

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM have watched all the video movies and have to make do with movies about video games. Sadly, arcade does not live up to the excitement you feel when reading the open credits. Brainscan, on the other hand, is actually pretty good. Tune in for too much chat about an episode of The Simpsons and stay for the laziest list ever listed. 

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM continue their trip down memory lane with Super Mario Bros. and Wing Commander. One of them is better than you remember. Still not great, tho. Tune in to find out what DM is reading and stay to hear about what she's been watching. 

 This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM announce this year's theme for 90s November: video game movies. They kick things off with Street Fighter and Double Dragon, one of which has held up much better than you remember. Tune in for a mini movie review, and stay to hear DM embarrass herself.

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM are tricked into watching a horror anthology that has nothing to do with Halloween. 10/31 part III is as hit-and-miss as one would expect, and Tales of Halloween is a misleading collection of too-long horror shorts. Tune in for a video game recommendation, and stay to find out what TV show DM is catching up with. 

 This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM watch two installments of the 10/31 anthology series. Much like the VHS series from last week, there's little to recommend it, but there are a couple of gems buried in there. Tune in for a mini movie-review and stay for a middling round of horror trivia. 

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM wrap up their deathstalking with the brand new Deathstalker movie. They also watch V/H/S Halloween because it's October. Can you guess which one is the better film? Tune in for a video game review and stay for a book report. 

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM watch the fourth but no-long-final Deathstalker movie and it's surprisingly okay. And because it's October, they also watch a Halloween set anthology which is a confusing disappointment. Tune in for some political commentary and stay to find out what DM is watching instead of the X-Files. 

 This week your friends Count Vardulon and DM continue watching Deathstalker and Red Sonja movies. The new Red Sonja is no fun at all, but Deathstalker II is the comedy sequel we were all clamouring for. Tune in for a video game recommendation, and stay to hear a quick catch-up on the MCU. 

 This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM begin watching all the Deathstalker movies in preparation for the new Deathstalker movie. They also watch Red Sonja, which they both really enjoy. Tune in for a couple of book reports, and stay for a disastrous round of horror trivia. 

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM round out August by watching a trucker movie and what might be an actionable rip-off of another movie they watched this month. Not only is Black Dog chock full of trucking action, it's also educational. Wrecker, on the other hand, is really well shot but has little else going for it. Tune in to find out DM's current obsession, and stay for a truly abysmal round of horror trivia. 

 This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM watch a couple of classic evil trucker road movies. Duel will make you long for the halcyon days of simple, no-nonsense filmmaking. And Breakdown will make you want to watch more Kurt Russell movies. Tune in for a brand new round of horror movie trivia in which DM does sort of okay, and stay for an X-Files check-in. 

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM continue watching road movies and punish themselves with the Hitcher remake. They also watch Roadgames which is really good. Tune in for the most upsetting video game teaser, and stay for a mini movie review. 

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM are joined by Rob Rector to talk about a brand new movie and an old one. The new screenlife War of the Worlds is not good and is kind of exhausting to watch. The original Hitcher, on the other hand, is a weird mix of totally great and totally crummy. Tune in for a video game recommendation and stay for a less enthusiastic X-Files recap. 

This week, DM is away on assignment, leaving Count Vardulon and Rob Rector to discuss the new Superman movie. Tune in for a TV recommendation, and stay for some home brewed horror trivia. 

 This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM watch two more shark movies, both with Michael Madsen. Megalodon can't decide what story it wants to tell, while Shark Season leans too heavily on the idea that sharks are dicks. Tune in to hear how the Count predicted a video game, and stay for advice about bigamy. 

This week, Count Vardulon and DM are joined Rob Rector to ring in shark month. Shark Girl could have been about something, but it squanders its potential, and SharkMan (aka Hammerhead) stars Jeffery Combs. Tune in for way too much Miami Vice chat, and stay for a list that makes you question what does and doesn't qualify as medical experimentation. 

 This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM ditch prom movies to catch up on VHS. VHS 85 has some not terrible stuff in it, but a lot of it was clearly made by people who weren't alive in 1985 and VHS Beyond should have just stuck with all alien theme. Tune in for a miserable round of horror trivia, and stay for too much X-Files chat. 

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM dig up two more prom-related horror movies. Tragedy Girls proves to be quite the disappointment, but Prom Night 4 is way too nuts to be truly terrible. Tune in for a very specific TV recommendation, and stay for a twist on a list of horror movies. 

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM are joined by Rob Rector to celebrate prom with two prom-themed horror movies. Prom Night, as it turns out, is not full of red herrings and Fear Street: Prom Queen will leave you wondering why it doesn't develop its backstory. Tune in for a mini-review of Bring Her Back, and stay for a heavily-edited round of horror trivia. 

 This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM are joined by Rob Rector to talk all about Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning. Tune in for musings on Miami Vice, and stay for an X-Files check in. 

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM check out the new Jason Statham movie and decide to pair it with some Gerard Butler. A Working Man is more boring than it has any right to be, but Plane hits the ground running and keeps up the pace. Tune in to hear the Count spoil something for DM, and stay to hear the Count get a horror trivia question wrong. 

 This week, DM is away so it's just Count Vardulon and Rob Rector on the horn talking about body horror outings Ugly Stepsister and Grafted. Tune in for a surprising movie recommendation, and stay for a too-long conversation about an old TV show. 

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM are joined by Rob Rector to watch the hell out of Sinners and From Dusk till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money. Turns out, the Dusk till Dawn sequel isn't any good. Sinners, of course, is amazing. Tune in to find out what the Count is watching, and stay for a non-recommendation from Rob. 

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM are joined by Rob Rector to talk about Until Dawn. It's fun, but not overly great. Tune in for an X-Files check-in and stay for a heavily edited quiz.

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM watch a couple of movies about ghosts. 825 Forest Road ends before the story is finished being told. The Black Phone, on the other hand, is a complete story very well told. Tune in to find out what DM is (re)watching, and stay for a highly edited round of horror trivia. 

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM are joined by Rob Rector to discuss two horror movies set in Appalachia. The Devil Below is hampered by the stupidity of its backstory. Hellboy: The Crooked Man looks and sounds great but it sparks a debate about witches. Tune in for some complaining about  modern filmmaking, and stay for more complaining about a new TV show.

 This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM accidentally watch two horror movies that are kinda similar. Get Away is a lot of fun and much grosser than you're expecting, and Bloody Axe Wound raises way too many questions about the economics about the world in which it's set. Tune in for music recommendation, and stay for a highbrow discussion about film criticism. 

 This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM wrap up mockumentary March with the third instalment in the Horror in the High Desert series. It does not disappoint. They also watch Curse of the Blair Witch, which is really good. Tune in to find out what DM watched while on holiday, and stay for an amazing guess at trivia. 

 This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM enjoy two more horror mocumentaries. Horror in the High Desert 2 has some good stuff going on, but will not answer any of the questions posed in the first movie. Butterfly Kisses is a great deconstruction of the mocumentary and found footage genre. Tune in for a TV recommendation, and stay to hear a prediction. 

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM watch two fake documentaries, both of which are really good. Noroi: The Curse does a great job making the viewer believe in its world, and Horror in the High Desert is a master class in pacing. Tune in for an embarrassing correction, and stay for a twist on horror trivia.

 This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM watch two wintry movies with the same name: Snow Beast. Snow Beast 2011 isn't great but also isn't terrible, and your hosts are confused about who Jason London plays in the movie. Snow Beast 1977 is surprisingly good for a Jaws rip-off. Tune in for a video game recommendation, and stay to hear DM talk about what's going on outside her window.  

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM are joined by Rob Rector to talk all about the brand new in-theatres Valentine's slasher movie, Heart Eyes. It's a fun idea, but doesn't quite stick the landing. Tune in for an impromptu rant about 28 Years Later, and stay for a non-recommendation. 

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM are joined by Rob Rector to watch the two Becky movies. The first one has some tonal problems, and the second appears to have addressed the tone but can't maintain it. Tune in for a movie review and stay for a horror trivia stumper. 

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM are joined by Rob Rector to discuss two more buzzy films that came out in 2024. In a Violent Nature is a good idea but less good in execution. MADs, on the other hand, is all round pretty great. Tune in for some musings on video games, and stay for a book report. 

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM are joined by Rob Rector to visit a couple of big titles from last year. Both are longer than is strictly necessary, but Monkey Man is a good revenge action movie, and The Substance is really great and really gross. Tune in for a discussion about time travel and Terminators, and stay for mini review of Wolf Man. Click here to see Rob on TV, and DM wrote a book.

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM begin 2025 by watching a couple of movies that came out in 2024. Heretic could have been great, and Hugh Grant is awesome all day, but it's ultimately kind of pointless. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is lots of fun even if it has a lots of problems. Tune in for a too-long video game recommendation, and stay for a bad joke. Also, DM wrote a book and you should buy it and read it. 

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM wrap up the Xmas season and barrel into the new year with one big budget movie and one small budget movie, neither of which are any good. Red One is a bit of a meandering mess, and Terror Train 2 is exactly like the first one, only boring. Tune in for too much random crap, and stay for a twist on a quiz question. 

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM are joined by Rob Rector to talk about of a couple Christmas Eve movies, one older and one brand new. The Day of the Beast is totally nuts and weirdly funny really, really good. Carry-On is longer than it needs to be and kinda dumb at times, but a fun ride nonetheless. Tune in for a too-long conversation about the Alien franchise, and stay for a movie "recommendation."

 This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM watch a couple of low-budget monstrous Santa movies. Santastein really went for it, even if they shoulda maybe taken another run at the script, and Werewolf Santa was a fun idea. Tune in for a video game recommendation, and stay for a rundown of what DM watched while sick.

 This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM are joined by Rob Rector to ring in the holiday season. Christmas Curfew is doesn't have enough story to fill its 90 minute run-time, and Secret Santa thinks it's funnier than it is. Tune in for an unlikely video game recommendation, and stay for a mini movie review.

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM are joined by Rob Rector to round out their month of watching movies from the 1990s with one more Anthony Hickox movie, and an anthology because why the hell not. Full Eclipse is a halfway decent werewolf movie, and Campfire Tales is mostly pretty good. Tune in for a TV recommendation and stay for a mini movie review.

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM are joined by Rob Rector to indulge in more 90s genre film nostalgia. Rapid Fire is another great showcase for Brandon Lee, and Waxwork 2 is a love letter to a bunch of other movies. Tune in for a book report, and stay for one of DM and the Count's rare-but-legendary fights.

 This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM celebrate the 1990s by watching another Brandon Lee movie, and a movie that was made in 1989. Sundown the Vampire in Retreat is kinda ridiculous and pretty fun. Showdown in Little Tokyo could stand to be a little longer, if only for more fight action. Tune into hear how bad DM sounds because of a cold, and stay to find out what DM watched while she was sick.

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM really scrape the bottom of the barrel with one of their Halloween picks. 1962 Halloween Massacre is a very boring, very bloodless slasher movie. The other movie they watched this week is The Crow, and they can't say enough good things about it. Tune in for a video game recommendation, and stay to hear DM get really excited reading trivia questions.

 This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM continue their Halloween movie month with two Canadian films that pretend their not Canadian. Berkshire County is pretty solid, if only barely Halloween-themed. Terror Train posits that magic might actually be real, but that's not the point of the movie. Tune in for some complaining about about cereal, and stay to find out what DM's been watching.

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM are joined by Rob Rector to ring in the spooky season with a newish movie and an older one. Spirit Halloween is an okay entry-level horror movie for tweens, and Trick or Treat is not really a Halloween movie at all. Tune in for a take down of the redo of Until Dawn, and stay for a movie review.

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM are joined by Rob Rector to wrap up their month-long celebration of Julian Sands with the Warlock movies, but not the third one because he's not in it and therefore not worth watching. Tune in for a video game recommendation, and stay to find out what DM's been watching.

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM are again joined by Rob Rector to continue their deep dive into the Julian Sands catalogue. The Phantom of the Opera is objectively bad for a lot of reasons, and the less said about it the better. Arachnophobia, on the other hand, is very nearly perfect and tragically underseen and underappreciated. Tune in for a too-long conversation about a ten-year-old video game, and stay for an anime recommendation.
