Send us a textRemember Death Wish 3 from 1985? It seems this time they just said the hell with plot and just had Charles Bronson's character blow away anyone who even looked at him sideways. And that's about all we remember about this movie. So join us as we revisit this 80s violent revenge thriller and watch Paul Kersey dole out his vigilante justice the only way he knows how, in a part 3, over the top and void of any story substance at all.

Click here to try it out!This week the dads take on Mad to Be Normal (2017), a little-seen British drama starring David Tennant as the controversial Scottish psychiatrist R.D. Laing.Set in 1960s London, the film follows Laing's radical experiment at Kingsley Hall, where doctors and patients lived side by side without medication, shock therapy, or the heavy hand of institutional psychiatry. Instead, Laing championed empathy, conversation, and even LSD as pathways to healing — ideas that put him at odds with the medical establishment, but also made him a counter-cultural cult figure.The cast is strong: Tennant leads with manic charm, Elizabeth Moss plays Angie, a student who becomes both lover and anchor, Gabriel Byrne appears as troubled patient Jim, and Michael Gambon delivers a heart-breaking turn in one of the film's darkest storylines.We dive into:How Laing's philosophy blurred the line between therapy and chaos.Whether his commune was compassionate innovation or dangerous neglect.The tension between his devotion to patients and his neglect of family.A few jaw-dropping scenes that left us wondering how much was truth and how much was “dramatic licence.”It's a grim, sometimes ugly film — not a Friday-night crowd-pleaser — but it opens up fascinating questions about how mental health has been treated and misdiagnosed. The dads split on whether it's a strong recommend or just an interesting curio, but there's no denying Tennant's performance is electric.If you're curious about alternative psychiatry, or just want to see David Tennant playing a very different kind of doctor, give this one a look.We love to hear from our listeners!

Season 7 Premier! Armed with a baseball bat and a big mouth, Joe Clark was a man with a mission: to turn around the test scores of the struggling "cauldron of violence" known as Eastside High in Paterson, New Jersey. The 1989 film, Lean on Me, chronicled Clark's plight while Morgan Freeman nailed his first starring role. But now, decades later, does this flick make us all feel like we're in detention? Why is everyone in this movie yelling? And, why fire the music teacher? The Old Roommates sign up for extra credit and revisit this crowdpleaser through their middle-aged lens.

Hi—and welcome back to Horror Movie Podcast, where we're Dead Serious About Horror Movies. Here in Episode 228, emeritus host Jay of the Dead welcomes Pastor Matt, Jigsaw Jackson, and emeritus host Dr. Walking Dead—with more alumni like Dr. Shock and Gillman Joel contributing later. During this historic show, Pastor Matt introduces the new HMP 3.0 roster, officially welcoming two new hosts, Horror Movie Fanboy Brian Scott and Horror Fan Ryan Bratton! Next, the two new hosts share their Top 5 All-Time Favorite Horror Movies and recall their favorite HMP memories. But the bulk of this episode is dedicated to a theme of "Cold, Hard Horror" movies, where your hosts take three (and a half) rounds to recommend more than 50 lesser-discussed snowbound horror films that take place in the midst of a wintry setting. Each of the rounds features reviews and recommendations from the panel of hosts. Then your hosts deliver a lively Speed Round of additional icy horror highlights, just to quickly name-drop a few more worthy titles for you listeners! And as promised, Dr. Shock and Gillman Joel contribute a wacky segment of their own prior to Jay of the Dead's bonus “review for the road” in a concluding Final Cut segment. In addition, during Episode 228, you will hear Jackson's new theme music for HMP by his band, hello softie., a track titled "Sometimes It Rains in April" from the album, With Heavy Eyes and Bated Breath.Finally, as we wrap up this episode, Pastor Matt shares his thoughts on the future direction of HMP 3.0 and teases some exciting, upcoming episodes.

Then, Mark talks with Tim Sommer, music journalist and contributor to The Rock and Roll Globe website. We finish with Audio Cut of the Day.
Alas, we have neared the end of our exclusive "FEMALE" August season, and we've taken this chance to usher in this close with a special guest. Laura and Ryan know next to nothing about the work of John Waters, which is both abhorrent and indicative of our glaring ignorance. That's why we invited Josh, who basically said we should have invited someone else if we wanted to talk about John Waters. Either way, enjoy this deepish dive into FEMALE TROUBLE and the revelation we'll be uncovering far more of his work in the future!
Caught Stealing When his punk-rock neighbour asks him to take care of his cat for a few days, New York City bartender Hank Thompson suddenly finds himself caught in the middle of a motley crew of threatening gangsters who all want a piece of him. The Thursday Murder Club Four retirees spend their time solving cold case murders for fun, but their casual sleuthing takes a thrilling turn when they find themselves with a real whodunit on their hands.

The gang falls right into her trap this week as they review Lawrence Kasdan's directorial debut starring William Hurt and Kathleen Turner... Body Heat. Our fourth and final entry into Erotic Thriller August brings us to Florida yet again, only this time told through the lens of a sleazy defense attorney chasing tail in the middle of a massive heat wave. Adultery, deception, murder, sex, and sweat abound in this erotic thriller that deserves its place up with the greats.

Calcinator! Okay, that might not be what little Timmy is called, but I do know Sven-Ole Thorsen plays a big dude named Suc On Dis and Jesse Ventura is ABRAXAS, GUARDIAN OF THE PLANET (1990)! This is the sci-fi action flick about the one that got away and the child whose father only wants to find him. So braid your rat tails, and buckle up!

Zach Cregger follows up his 2022 surprise hit Barbarian with another bout of sneaky horror with Weapons. Centered around a town grappling with a singular classroom of missing children, Cregger's sophomore feature-length film turns a microscope into a Fresnel lens to heat up the rot of an empathy-starved community: safety, routine, and comfort crumbling into dust amidst hidden dangers and inexplicable tragedy. The question is, does it stick the landing? Tune in to our review to find out.

JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE TO LISTEN TO MONSTER PARTY! JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD revel in the legacy of a shark named “Bruce.” Get a bucket of chum, and find yourself a bigger boat, as MONSTER PARTY presents… JAWS: 50 YEARS OF FRIGHTS AND BITES!!! In 1975, STEVEN SPIELBERG unleashed a breathtaking thriller that would go on to be one of the highest-grossing motion pictures of all time, ushering in the era of the “blockbuster.” Based on the best-selling book by PETER BENCHLEY, JAWS' journey from novel to screen was a difficult one. Faced with a malfunctioning shark, precarious ocean conditions, bickering actors, and skyrocketing production costs, Spielberg would rise above these obstacles, turning adversity into ingenuity. And let's not forget the contribution of JOHN WILLIAMS' legendary score. To this day, can anyone resist humming “Dun Dun Dun Dun” when they hit the pool? After JAWS' initial worldwide success, the film was followed up by several lackluster sequels and copycats. But no matter how hard (or how little) other filmmakers tried, no one was able to capture the magic that made JAWS be considered by many to be one of the few perfect films. And who would have thought that 50 years later, the film they almost pulled the plug on would be the pop culture icon that it is today? Joining us for this monumental maw fest is an accomplished actor, author, journalist, and publicist who is a beloved staple of the monster kid community. He has appeared in such diverse movies and TV shows as IN THE SHADOWS, THE PREY: KARNOCTUS, LAVALANTULA, CHASTITY BITES, BLOOD AND GUTS WITH SCOTT IAN, TIM AND ERIC AWESOME SHOW, GREAT JOB, THE FLINTSTONES, BEETHOVEN'S 2ND, and STAR TREK: VOYAGER. He's been a long-time contributor for FANGORIA, STARLOG, FILM REVIEW, and DREAD CENTRAL, and is the author of the books THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO COMPANION, BUCK ROGERS IN THE 25TH CENTURY: A TV COMPANION, YOU WOULDN'T LIKE ME WHEN I'M ANGRY: A HULK COMPANION, and the must-have tome for any respectable JAWS fan, JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE: A JAWS COMPANION. Please welcome… PAT JANKIEWICZ! MONSTER PARTY SALUTES THE PHENOMENON OF JAWS! AND THIS TIME… IT'S PERSONAL.
