Welcome!This week we looked at two horror films that take place in retirement homes: NEXT OF KIN (1982) & THE RULE OF JENNY PEN.The first is a moody giallo-esque vibe of a film and the second is an exploration of tyrnany and how difficult it may be to fight. We had a lovely chat and we'd love to hear what you thought of these films!Next time we look at Vampire films with NOSFERATU (1922) and 30 DAYS of NIGHT.Remember...We love you and DON'T go into the basement!!

Send us a textWoHos!Welp. This week we looked at two films, all right. Mom hated THE PERFECTION and there was no love lost between Mac & STOPMOTION.CW for mention/suggestion of child rape in THE PERFECTION and childhood trauma in STOPMOTION.Both films are about mental illness and both fail spectacularly in its depiction. THE PERFECTION could have been a joyous, campy romp, but it is too careless with its subject matter and results in a horribly distasteful mess.STOPMOTION has some wonderful stop motion sequences which may be worth the price of admission, but even with its short run time, it overstays its welcome.This was a fun conversation about two repellent films.Next time we are covering two films that deal with class warfare: READY OR NOT & THE PLATFORM.

Send us a textWoHos!Mac and I are back to talk all things "Forest Horror" with two Englsih horror films: EDEN LAKE from 2008 and THE RITUAL from 2017.The Internet describes EDEN LAKE as "A young couple on a romantic weekend break at a remote lakehouse, are terrorised by a group of vicious delinquents".The Internet describes THE RITUAL as "Reuniting after the tragic death of their friend, four college pals set out to hike through the Scandinavian wilderness. A wrong turn leads them into the mysterious forests of Norse legend, where an ancient evil exists and stalks them at every turn".We talk a lot about how much we preferred the novel of THE RITUAL much more than the film. Probably too much. I'm sorry.We also talk: Being in the dead dad club, Eastern NC accents, Is Michael Fassbender a badman? and how weird guns are.Next time on the main show Mac and I discuss "Obsession Over Art" films with THE PERFECTION & STOPMOTION.Thanks for all your support.

Send us a textWoHos!We recorded this a few months back and then both had some life stuff come up, but we hope it is worth the wait!This film is a classic domestic melodrama that has inspired Bong Joon-ho, among others, and is one batshit crazy ride.From IMDb: A composer and his wife are thrown into turmoil when a housemaid becomes more than they bargained for. (Composer??? That's overstating it a little bit--Mac & me)This film has everything. It's a cautionary tale, a cinematographic masterpiece, high melodrama, and a film that includes the mention of more rats than the film THE DEPARTED. Oh, TW for rat death...and child death.Next time on the main pod: Mac talks the 1964 Japanese Horror classic, ONIBABA.Quinn has also agreed to meet with me to discuss LADY IN A CAGE and possibly, THE HERETIC, and we hope to get our friend Chrissy Champagne on to discuss HELLO MARY LOU: PROM NIGHT II before the end of the year.

Hi, WoHos!This week we looked at Alex Garland's MEN. Yep. We did that.Mom was at first more sympathetic to Garland's jazzy style of filmmaking, but that didn't last long when we dove deeper into it.There is a lot to recommend this, but there is a lot that suggests that you may want to run far, far away from this one and watch CIVIL WAR instead.Mom & Mac chat: Working out, HR not responding, panic attacks, and private stuff.The movie talk starts at 11:15.Next time we are talking about movies about stalkers with SINGLE WHITE FEMALE from the US and THE CRY OF THE OWL, which is an American-British-Canadian-French-German co-production (according to Wikipedia). It is based on a Patricia Highsmith novel, so you know Mom is onboard!Thanks for all your support. If you disagree with our takes, please get in touch. I'd love to hear your interpretations!Remember, We LOVE you, WOHOS.  DON'T go into the basement!xx Support the Show.Interstitial Music Works is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported License.https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/Theme by Charles Michel "Aqui"Interstitial MusicKumiko (edited)Coma-MediaSubscribe to the Podcast for a Special shout-out!World of Horror's InstagramMom's InstagramMac's InstagramDonate to Translifeline

WoHos!!We talked so much about MEN that we had to break the pods into two parts. Although we make some passing references to MEN, this podcast is about Guillermo del Toro's 2006 classic, PAN'S LABYRINTH.Shout out to https://www.theotherfolk.blog/dissections/pans-labyrinthI will have the podcast about MEN out soon. Stay tuned, also, for my chat with filmmaker Stefan MacDonald, who came on to talk THE EDGE and ALLIGATOR.Fair warning, we go into a tangent about 45 minutes in.Thanks for all your support!

WoHos!!We return to slashers and look at THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE from 1982 and ANATOMIE/ANATOMY from Germany.

Hey there, Q-Balls and WoHos!Quinn was nice enough to join me for a ramble about one of my favorite movies of all time: FARGO.Our conversation assumes a knowledge of the film. If you haven't seen it, please do yourself a favor and watch it or rewatch it!!From Wikipedia: Fargo is a 1996 black comedy crime film written, directed and produced by Joel and Ethan Coen. Frances McDormand stars as Marge Gunderson, a pregnant Minnesota police chief investigating a triple homicide that takes place after a desperate car salesman (William H. Macy) hires two criminals (Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare) to kidnap his wife in order to extort a hefty ransom from her wealthy father (Harve Presnell). The film was an American and British co-production.Next time on the Quinnisode, we will be looking at SILENCE OF THE LAMBS.Next time on the main show, Mac & I will be looking at two SLASHERS: THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE (1982) from the US & ANATOMIE/ANATOMY (2000) from Germany.

WoHos!This week Mac & I discussed two movies about mental illness: JACOB's LADDER from the US and THE BABADOOK from Australia.Mac was too smart for JACOB's LADDER, but he did think it was beautiful. Mom was profoundly wrecked by THE BABADOOK.Next time, we are back to slashers with THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE from the US & FLASHBACK from Germany.Thanks for all your support!

WoHos! The theme this time is "Loss of Innocence". We reviewed THE CLOVEHITCH KILLER from the US & THE INNOCENTS from Norway.We enjoyed the exploration of the distance that grows between a child and parent during adolescence in THE CLOVEHITCH KILLER. Everyone can relate to that feeling, but thankfully only a few will ever know the horrifying reality our protag Tyler feels in THE CLOVEHITCH KILLER.In THE INNOCENTS the inherent powerlessness is what is examined in a world where children suddenly discover they have spernatural powers. CW: Cat harm and cat death--also kid harm and kid death--also parent harm and parent death.Also surprise spoiler for THE DEN at We had a good discussion about some missteps the directors take, the use and misuse of does the dog die website, the depiction of a character with nonverbal autism and whether or not this depiction was problematic, Mac, Quinn, and I have all been sick this season. It's Q's turn currently, but when she is better, we will do a Quinnisode on maybe my all-time favorite movie? FARGO.Next on the main show we will be looking at movies involving mental illness with JACOB'S LADDER from the US & THE BABADOOK from Australia.If you are enjoying the show, please get in touch and tell all your friends all about us.Stay healthy, our WoHos!And remember: We love you and DON'T go into the basement!!

WoHos!This week, Rob and Ben from The Every Movie EVER! podcast joined us to discuss a movie that Means the World of Horror™ to them: MAY from 2002.Topics discussed: Learning you are autistic and having it be no surprise to family members, podcasting as a mental health check-in, serendipity in finding movies, Netflix' old model for DVD through-the-mail service, watching horror at an inappropriately young age, the manic pixie dreamgirl/boy trope, surrealism and fantasy in film and how nice it is not to know what genre of film we are in.Disclaimers for spoilers and adult language.Mille grazie (I can be pretentious, too!) to Ben & Rob, who have a a delightful podcast which you should all check out. You should all alsoRemember we love you and DON'T go into the basement!!PS. I think I really misunderstood what Rob was saying that Blank was Frank from DONNIE DARKO. Also, I think Rob conflated THE CREEPING FLESH with TERROR TRAIN? But in the end, I think we were mostly sympatico through most of this pod, so what's a little muddle among friends?PPS. I put a video version of the podcast up on our YouTube Channel. You can check it out if you want to see our beautiful faces.Next on the Quinnisode: FARGONext on the main show: Coming-of-age films: THE INNOCENTS from Norway and THE CLOVEHITCH KILLER from the US.Every Movie EVER LinktreeEvery Movie EVER on instagramEvery Movie EVER on YoutubeEvery Movie EVER on AppleEvery Movie EVER on TikTok Support the showInterstitial Music Works is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported License.https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/Theme by Charles Michel "Aqui"Interstitial MusicKumiko (edited)Coma-MediaSubscribe to the Podcast for a Special shout-out!World of Horror's InstagramMom's InstagramMac's InstagramDonate to Translifeline

WoHos!If you've ever wanted to know what would happen when you get three ADD brains together to discuss a 40-year-old Cronenberg classic, you have come to the right place!Stefan MacDonald joined Mac and me to discuss a movie close to all of our hearts: VIDEODROME!We had a lovely ramble, and I hope you enjoy it!Even though I am sober, you can make a fun drinking game out of how many times I say. "I didn't understand ______ / "I was a little confused by______".  Also, eagle-eared WoHos can look out for when I call my youngest son, Mac, "Max". (I was a bit brain-fried, Y'all).Topics/Tangents include: Oppositional Defiance Disorder, ADD, a random list of weird movies, analogue horror, and other Cronenberg films we enjoy.Coming up on the main show, Mac and I will be discussing vampires as we look at THE SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE from the US and RIGOR MORTIS from Hong Kong.We will also be doing a retrospective over the last year.

This week we looked at the cult classic, STARSHIP TROOPERS, which is a flick Mom can't believe she never saw. We both loved this one a ton.We also looked at the low-budget gem, SLASH/BACK, from Canada, which talks about the friendship girls share as well as some aliens who land in a small Nunavut town. Mom went gaga for the scenery in this one.There is lots of waffle up top in this one. If you want to jump to the movie talk, that starts at 26:18.Next time on the main show we are looking at vamps with SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE from the US and RIGOR MORTIS from Hong Kong.We are going to have one more special guest show on VIDEODROME and then we will have a couple of retrospective shows to finish out 2023.Thanks for all your support, WoHos!We love you and DON'T go into the basement!Of course, Mom was talking about HAROLD & MAUDE.Mac's Shout outs: Baldur's Gate and Eve Online: Down the Rabbit's HoleMom's Shout outs: Journey Through SciFi Podcast & especially, Every Movie Ever Podcast Support the showInterstitial Music Works is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported License.https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/Theme by Charles Michel "Aqui"Interstitial MusicKumiko (edited)Coma-MediaSubscribe to the Podcast for a Special shout-out!World of Horror's InstagramMom's InstagramMac's InstagramDonate to Translifeline

WoHos!Our friend Martin Harries from the Film Vs. Film podcast joined us to share a film that Means The World of Horror™ to him: DR. TERROR'S HOUSE OF HORRORS, which is the first portmanteau film from Amicus Studios.From IMDb: Aboard a British train, mysterious fortune teller Dr. Schreck uses tarot cards to read the futures of five fellow passengers.This film has everything: A werewolf, two vamps, murderous plant life, a "handy" comeuppance, and a voodoo curse.

WoHos!This week we looked at two movies related to Ghosts: POLTERGEIST (1982) & THE OTHERS.POLTERGEIST deals with the sins of capitalism and consumerism in the guise of some disruptove ghosties. Mac enjoyed this more than I did. I felt super sad at the depiction of the teenage daughter as an object of sexual attention and nothing much else.Strong performances by JoBeth Williams, Beatrice Straight, Zelda Rubenstein, and Craig T. Nelson together with the gnarly practical effects are enough to recommend this film for both of us. We give it 4 TV's!I was much more jazzed about the atmospheric THE OTHER by the ever-impressive filmmaker Alejandro Amenabar. Mac and I split on the rewatchability of this film. What do you think?I gave it 4.25 keys and Mac gave it a straight 4 keys.This ep is tangent-heavy. We talk about oversharing strangers, materialism, the 80s and what should be left to the dustpin of history as well as ownership/property, photographing dead people, and the relationship between mind and body.Coming up next are two special shows featuring friends of the show and esteemed WoHos, Stefan MacDonald discussing VIDEODROME and Martin Harries discussing DR. TERROR's HOUSE OF HORRORS.On the next main show, we will be covering films about aliens: STARSHIP TROOPERS & SLASH/BACK.Thank you for all your support.

WoHos!Mac's picks this week involve animated horror. We reviewed WENDELL & WILD from the US and UNICORN WARS from Spain & France.Both deal with deep emotional issues and neither are appropriate for young children. Mac wonders if UNICORN WARS is appropriate for some adults!Next time we are looking at movies involving haunted houses. We will be looking at THE OTHERS from Spain & POLTERGEIST 1982 from the US.

WoHos!Oh, what a fun film this is! This week Stefan MacDonald of Terminal Burrower Films and Drag Mitch to Hell joins me to discuss this mutual fave.Stacy Keach and Jamie Lee Curtis in Australia hunting a serial killer in an 18-wheeler? Yes, Please! Throw in a good boy doing a serviceable dingo impression and some sweet suspense, and you've got yourself a good time.Have you seen ROADGAMES? Why is it written that way? How cute are Stacy Keach and Jamie Lee Cutis??Also, if you have seen ROGUE & BLACK WATER, weigh in on which one is better (Hint! It's BLACK WATER)**Please note that the pod proper ends around minute 51:00, but we have a little bit of an ADD Buddy Corner at the tail end.Coming up on the main pod will be Mac's picks of animated films with WENDELL & WILD and UNICORN WARS. Next, we will be looking at ghost stories with THE OTHERS & POLTERGEIST. After that, we will be looking at one of Mac's all-time faves, STARSHIP TROOPERS along with SLASHBACK when we review alien movies.We love you, WoHos!DON'T go into the basement!

WoHos!This week we are joined by our friends, Georgia and John Macey from the Comfort Films Podcast to examine two masterclasses in suspense, THE WAGES OF FEAR & SORCERER.We examine the real horror, which is, of course, capitalism, in both these films. We also look at connections to the trickster figure in the folklore of Indigenous people, a queer reading of the relationship between Mario and Luigi, Mother Nature fighting back against the bald greed of the desperate characters in both of these films.Have you seen these films? We would recommend you do!

WoHos!This week we look at two films that involve writers. Both have killer soundtracks. IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS has great effects. BURNING has great cinematography. IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS has a sweet runtime, BURNING has a Korean cinema-length runtime. Both have excellent performances and fun themes.Shout out to our WoHos in various area codes!Our last episode was downloaded in: US, Canada, Germany, and Czechia in some cool-sounding cities like: Humble, Ashburn, Montpelier, Sacramento, and Frankfurt. If you would like a specific shout out, please get in touch!RIP Branwen Jones, beloved companion of Mac's 2007-2023. Send some loving thoughts or loving posts to instagram.com/macaritaville.

For this episode, I am looking at two stories that involve snuff films: EVIL DEAD TRAP from Japan and THESIS / TESIS from Spain.Neither makes a whole lot of sense, but each has its brilliant charms.The kills in EVIL DEAD TRAP are great and the plot takes a serious left turn in the third act. THESIS is one of my favorite films despite some of the annoying plot holes. Everyone is a joy to behold, especially Fele Martinez, who, along with Eduardo Noriega appears in ABRE LOS OJOS, also directed by Alejandro Amenabar.Coming up next is our show about writers, as it appears our Tech Horror Ep. may have been reclaimed by the gods of the Internet. We looked at IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS and BURNING.Coming up, we have some wonderful shows with guests planned. Comfortilms Podcast will join us to talk THE WAGES OF FEAR & SORCEROR and Stefan MacDonald, From Drag Mitch to Hell will join us to talk VIDEODROME for its 40th anniversary!We will be watching WENDELL & WILD and THE UNICORN WARS next, and speaking of Amenabar, after that, THE OTHERS & POLTERGEIST.Be good and be good to each other.

WoHos!This week we look at two horror classics about possession: THE EXORCIST from the US & THE WAILING from South Korea.We like this pairing because we find divergence in parenting and the nature of the devil depicted in each.In Mom & Mac  chat, we talk about Mac's cat pooping, Mom half remembering Vonnegut, Mom overriding her social anxiety, tricks we use to trick our brains, what to do when we hear things we can[t explain in the house, cat ghosts, the motivation of ghosts, our mutual love for Boots Riley.
