Who The Hell Is This For?

Tyler and Jeff interview Josh Ruben, Director of Scare Me and Werewolves Within as we discuss his new films, A Wounded Fawn and Blood Relatives, both available on Shudder. Josh stars in A Wounded Fawn as serial killer Bruce, and Producer on the Noah Segan-directed, vampire horror/comedy Blood Relatives. Listen as we dive into his current and past films, his creative process, and even his favorite past College Humor sketch!

In this episode, we break down three films of David Cronenberg with The Brood, Videodrome, and Eastern Promises. We *almost* get to a point of well thought out analysis, but frequently get derailed. Please consider donating to a local abortion fund or a charity supporting marginalized groups in your community. If you do, send us the receipt and you will get to tell us what we should cover next.

On what was supposed to be our episode for May, we are talking about time travel and its utilization within movies and pop culture. We dive deeper into Edge of Tomorrow, Timecrimes, and Coherence (which is totally a time travel movie, I don't want to hear it). Please consider donating to a local trans organization, as there is more and more widespread transphobia in every part of our country. Send us the receipt at @WTHITFpod, and you get some input on what topic, subgenre, director, etc. we cover in a future episode.

On this episode, we talk about Jackie Chan, his influence on the action movie landscape, and the journey his work has taken across the decades of his career. The movies we picked for the episode are The Foreigner, Rush Hour, and Police Story. A quick note: This episode was recorded prior to the release of the SCOTUS opinion on Roe v Wade, so that is not reflected in the beginning of the episode when we discuss charitable giving.

Some housekeeping first: There are some audio issues in this episode, so bear with us. The issues begin at 25:38, and occur intermittently through 52:54. I would recommend staying aware of your volume during that stretch. On this month's episode, we talk about the work of Sam Raimi! The episode includes his history, filmography, and hallmarks of his work, as well as a deeper dive into Evil Dead 2, Darkman, and Spider-Man 2.

We are back with a new format and focus, but everything else is, well, it's pretty much the same. This month, we talk about the heist genre, what makes a heist movie, and three different movies that we bring to the table as examples of the sub-genre. The movie selections for this episode are Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro, The Killing, and Fast Five. Please consider donating to transtexas.org or equalitytexas.org to support trans youth in Texas.

Season 4 is starting off with double the episodes, as we are bringing you another hour (and more!) of movie talk. This time, we are each selecting 31 different horror movies (or movies that we were able to shoehorn into categories) to watch during the month of October with a bingo card format.

So, we attempted to record a message for our friends at Nightmare Junkhead on their 300th episode BUT it didn't quite work the first time around. Instead, I decided to upload it here on our feed to publicly celebrate our friends over at Nightmare Junkhead! Greg and Jenius have been longtime friends of the pod, and we can't emphasize enough how awesome they've been for the Kansas City genre film and podcast scene!

In lieu of our normal links, we'd like to encourage everyone to support the Minnesota Freedom Fund and the family of Daunte Wright.

WE’RE BACK! After switching to a remote set-up, working around travel plans, and losing our 39th episode, we’re finally back in action. Of course, we decided to change things up and branch out a little bit, since some members of the show deemed Miami Connection unwatchable (they’re wrong). In this episode, we touch on Miami Connection, argue about Halloween, and give brief reviews of Strangers Things 3, Midsommar, and Spider-Man: Far From Home.

This week, Riley, Ty, and ProdKath breakdown the notable Diane Keaton classic: Father of the Bride! It counts, okay? We talk weddings, realistic mental breakdowns, and what celebrity is going to marry Ty and Riley (it turns out to be one of our better BuzzFeed quizzes).
