It's time for one of those huge episodes. Well, it's a three parter anyways. 2012 was for me, a little bit of a slacker for horror movies, some would say that not enough time has elapsed to make this assessment, I say, shnozwaddle! The highs are really high & the lows can be quite messy. But, what do I think was the very greatest horror movie that came out during 2012? Well, here we have the top 10. The worst 10. A slew of also rans. Some awesome mates. Some special guests. Several pints of beer and a 5 hours of running time split over 3 episodes. This is 2012, A Year In Horror.0.33 - The Impossible 7.15 - Cockneys VS Zombies (w/ Michelle Ryan)21.11 - Also Rans (Part 2)22.02 - Resident Evil: Retribution (w/ Andre Dack)59.42 - V/H/S (w/ Niki Jones)

Filmmakers Mike Mendez (TALES OF HALLOWEEN, BIG ASS SPIDER) and Alejandro Brugués (JUAN OF THE DEAD, NIGHTMARE CINEMA) return to the podcast to discuss the making of their new anthology film SATANIC HISPANICS. From the genesis of the idea for a horror anthology based in Hispanic heritage… to applying the lessons they learned from working on previous anthologies… to the tonal shifts between stories that make for a well rounded viewing experience and the amount of trust and creative control that needs to be given to the other filmmakers on the project… Mike and Alejandro go through the process of bringing their idea to the big screen. Also, Mike shares his joy in being recognized as the “corpse f**ker” from CHILLERAMA, Alejandro thinks Adam's rabbits look delicious, and Joe finds out how the production went on a project that he didn't land. With double guests comes a double shot of“Hollywood Therapy!” Dr. Arwen advises a listener who is looking to properly obtain exhibition rights for their film club's programming and then leads the group through an extremely touching grief counseling session focused on enjoying life guilt-free after enduring a crushing loss. It's a roller coaster of a conversation as four friends share big laughs and deeply personal life experiences.
Juan de los Muertos! This week we're capping off our zombie mini series with this Cuban-Spanish production by director Alejandro Brugués. This Zom Com is laced with references to Cuban culture and history and is absolutely bananas. In this episode we do our best to briefly gloss over Cuban history while discussing this hilarious movie.Join our Patreon!Follow us on Instagram!
This one has been on our list since the earliest days of Reanimated and it was great to visit Havana, albeit in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. This film puts a wacky cast together with a lot of jokes, political satire about Cuba and zombies and honestly lands in some new territory, so that made it a lot of fun to watch. There was also a bunch of new trailers that dropped last week so we dug into Renfield, Blood, Evil Dead: Rise and some other tidbits.
Hey everyone, Welcome back to the ClassHorrorCast - I'm your host Aran and on this week's show, I had the opportunity to sit down and chat with writer/director Alejandro Brugues. Upon having burst onto the scene in a major way with 2011's Juan Of The Dead, he has since helmed the driver's seat of some amazing projects such as ABC's of Death 2, From Dusk Till Dawn Tv Series, Nightmare Cinema with Mick Garris, Into the Dark for Blumhouse and one of his new movies due out on Netflix later in 2022 which he made with a friend of the show Joe Russo - The Last Will & Testament of Charles Abernathy (The Inheritence) We talk all about key processes and discipline while writing and creating a story. Some of his fav movies and why, the dark sides of Hollywood and what to expect in the future.Join me as I dive inside the mind of writer/director Alejandro Brugues.Follow more of my content here -https://linktr.ee/FirstClassHorrorCheck out these amazing podcasts also Ghost Town: Strange History, True Crime, & the Paranormalhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ghost-town-strange-history-true-crime-the-paranormal/id1407606863Twilight Historieshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/twilight-histories/id475159941Crime Familyhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crime-family/id1553722532
Welcome back to April Fools month on the Horror PSA Podcast! This week we watched #JuanoftheDead! We discuss what we love about foreign films, subtitles, zombies and more! Enjoy!
On this episode of JED TALKS I speak to ALEJANDRO BRUGES about his career highs and lows; working with Robert Rodriguez, Mick Garris and Eduardo Sanchez. Apologies for my microphone during this episode, it was faulty so I’ve tried to clean it up as much as possible! Alejandro is trying to get off social media so I’m not going to provide his links, but you can have mine twice: @jedshepherd and @jedshepherd. Next week on JED TALKS I hold a HORROR SUMMIT!
Join us as we talk about this fun Cuban zombie comedy.
Jonah grabs an oar and dives into Juan of The Dead with writer/director Alejandro Brugués!Alejandro grew up in Havana during the Cold War, but his parents' work as diplomats gave him access to an outside world—including American movies—unavailable to most Cubans. He tells Jonah about writing a zombie movie for an audience that had never seen zombie movies, filming social commentary under close government scrutiny, paying homage to his cinematic heroes, and the opening scene of a hypothetical Juan sequel!LinksFind out where you can watch Juan of The DeadStream Pooka Lives! on HuluFollow Alejandro on Twitter and InstagramThank you to Allie Goertz for our theme song and Perry Shall for our artwork.
Greetings, and welcome back to Horror Business. We have one awesome episode in store for you guys, and we’re talking about 2003’s Shaun Of The Dead and 2010’s Juan Of The Dead.

And as always thank you to our Patreon subscribers. Your support means the world to us and we are eternally We start by talking about what we’ve done involving horror recently. Liam talks the films The Evil, Jumbo, and the miniseries Salem’s Lot. Justin talks about the series Supernatural wrapping up and how that has impacted him. We briefly talk about the films The Wolf Of Snow Hollow and His House. Up first is Shaun Of The Dead. Justin opens up the conversation by claiming that this film is one of two “horror comedies” that is a perfect balance of horror, comedy, and “heart”, and that the film stands on its own not just as a parody of Romero films, but as an actual entry into the wider field of the subgenre of zombie films in horror. We briefly go off on a tangent about the work of Edgar Wright and how the Cornetto Trilogy is his crowning achievement. We discuss how the film understands that more than likely in the event of a real zombie apocalypse it wouldn’t be random humans you’d be facing as zombies, it would very likely be your friends and neighbors. The film’s quick establishment of the Romero-esque social commentary is touched upon, and how the film is so much more than jokes and gore but rather like its namesake it’s actually saying something. Some of the film’s themes of rejecting adulthood, abrasive masculinity, and immaturity are touched upon. We talk about how Pete, the quasi-villain of the first act isn’t really a bad guy at all unless viewed through the lens of someone like Shaun who doesn’t have their act together. The melancholy theme of outgrowing your friends is touched upon. The loveable character of Ed actually being one of the worst characters is touched upon. Justin talks about how some of the emotionally heavy scenes in the movie affected him, and how some of them are smartly used to humorously break down some classic zombie film tropes. We conclude by talking about how this film was ahead of the curve when it came to the zombie culture boom of the ‘10s. Up next is Juan Of The Dead. We begin by talking about how the film feels like a ninety-minute set up to justify a pun in the title. Liam points out that while it’s not the worst zombie movie he’s seen, it definitely doesn’t live up to its namesake. Liam talks about how he finds the film rather funny in how it relates to the culture of Cuba and how it smartly zings Spanish and American imperialism. We talk about how Cuba is largely removed from zombie culture; in that it’s distanced from the very idea of a zombie. Justin talks about how the films initial reaction to zombies is heavily influenced by the films deeply entrenched Catholic culture by jumping to people who are possessed or vampires, and then how the government is blaming capitalist dissidents. Cuban film culture is briefly touched upon, in that it’s almost non-existent. Finally, we dig deep into the problematic “gay panic” attitude of the film, and how even though it’s reflective of an aspect of Latinx culture it’s still very off-putting. First and foremost, thank you to everyone and anyone who donated on Patreon, checked this episode out,

Happy Halloween!! As this episode first hits your earholes, October 31st will be a mere 24 hrs. away. So on the eve of All Hallow's Eve, we couldn't think of a more appropriate guest that the resurrected Evildead. The band was the '86 follow up project for Juan Garcia, who first came to our attention from his stints with Agent Steel and Abattoir. Mr. Garcia may also be familiar with more modern fans for his position as axeman with none other than Body Count!! So with new albums from both BC and ED on the racks, we had a "groovy" chat with Juan Of The Dead (Thank you Ice-T). We discussed the new record "United $tate$ Of Anarchy", his work with Body Count, and his thoughts of the late, great Riley Gale (Rest In Power!). In our "News, Views, and Tunes", we discuss with artists we'd dress up as for Halloween and premiere a new songwritten, performed and recorded from our very own Aaron. Horns way up to that!! Musically, we crank the new Evildead plus the aforementioned Agent Steel and Abattoir. As well, as cool tunes from Exhumed, 45 Grave, Cropsy Maniac, Dolore, Werewolves, VHS, Zombie Assault and feature The Bloody Hell in our "Indie Spotlight".

Ever wonder how a zombie plague would shake out in Cuba? Juan of the Dead is a fresh, gory and original zombie flick with genuine laughs and impressive tracking shots. Zombie slaying montages also mask subversive commentary on a nation that is frequently demonized and misunderstood by outsiders. Also, do you remember the 90s? Would you rather deal with an evil Ghostwriter, or an evil Wishbone? Motion Picture Terror Scale: 2 (Marcus), 1+ (Melissa).

Arnold and Natalie find that there are worse things than a "Fear of the Unknown," at least when the Z NATION team find themselves trapped in a bunch of boxes with no explanation as to why. But while the mystery of the latest episode is cause for concern, there's still time to lavish praise on two horror comedies that capture the best of what the zombie genre has to offer: JUAN OF THE DEAD (2011) and its spiritual predecessor, SHAUN OF THE DEAD (2004).

Much like a zombie, Octoberama will not stay dead! We roll on with our Week of the Zombie episode and third anniversary. This one kind of went off the rails, with Tony still recovering from his vacation and Taylor slightly hungover from the Great Pumpkin Beer Festival. We power through Horror Business, including stories on Bigfoot, remake news on Suspiria and Halloween, updates on the Purge franchise, and a couple of new TV shows. Then we completely lose it and give up. Things pick up slightly in our reviews, as we rise from the dead like the zombies in the films. Yes, I know I already used that euphemism, it's just that kind of day. First up, we discuss the 1989 low budget schlock fest that is The Dead Next Door. Next up, Tony bitches about subtitles as we review the Cuban political horror comedy Juan de los Muertos. Then we mercifully put a bullet in this one's head because it is DONE. But not before we announce a special giveaway! We are giving two lucky listeners a chance to win free Grave Plot Podcast t-shirts. Click here to enter. Winners will be announced in our Halloween episode.

Earlier this month, Brother D spent three days in a row at Portland's Hollywood Theatre and managed to keep his sanity in tact at the Lovecraft Film Festival and went back to the theater the very next day for a screening of Juan de los Muertos, aka Juan of the Dead (dir. Alejandro Brugués), with Tequila Matt. After four days at the Hollywood, he needed the MOZ Family's help in picking another movie to review this episode. Will he take the advice of the Mail Order Zombie Family? While D was spending every waking moment at the Hollywood, and watching the second half of JABB pictures' The Collective, Volume 3, Silent Death reviewed the novel The New Zed Order: Survive by author Todd Sprague.
