It's no secret that we dig Paul Schrader here at Necromaniacs; he's one of the masters of neo noir, violent crime films and also not too bad at horror. The 1982 remake of DeWitt Bodean's 1942 CAT PEOPLE displays that Schrader is comfortable working within the supernatural horror genre.   Intro:                   “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill Outro:                “Cat People Putting Out Fire” – David Bowie

Chuck Norris is a legit action hero who first hit the scene in THE WAY OF THE DRAGON where he faced Bruce Lee in one of the most iconic fight scenes in the history or martial arts films.  After a string of hit with A FORCE OF ONE, THE OCTAGON and AN EYE FOR AN EYE, he tried his hand at a horror film.  In 1981's SILENT RAGE, Norris plays a familiar role as a sheriff in a small town trying to maintain order as an invincible psycho goes on a rampage.   Intro:                    “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill Outro:                 “Beneath the Shadows” – TSOL

It's another brutal film from Down Under.

We're having a great time exploring the Neo Noir subgenre, so this week we dive in AMERICAN GIGOLO. In 1980 Paul Schrader (TAXI DRIVER) delivers a brooding crime drama starring Richard Gere and Lauren Hutton which established Gere as a leading man.  It tells the story of a high end male escort, murder, kinky sex and stylish visuals.

Grab a beer and join us tonight for another installment of Necro Overtime! Tonight is Part 1 of a two-parter. In April 2026, a list of eleven missing or dead scientists with alleged ties to UAP and advanced propulsion research started circulating online and eventually went all the way up to the White House. Tonight we're laying the groundwork before we get into the list itself. We'll cover Amy Eskridge, whose 2022 death became the centerpiece of the entire narrative, and Ning Li, the University of Alabama physicist whose anti-gravity research influenced later conspiracies.

This week's feature is the harrowing REQUIEM FOR A DREAM, the 2001 Darren Aronofsky directed film adapted from the Hubert Selby Jr. 1978 novel. The film features top-notch performances by Ellen Burstyn, Jared Leto, Jennifer Connelly and Marlon Wayans and tells aa brutal story or addiction, human depravity and the downward spiral. Intro:                    “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill Interlude:          “Ghosts of Things to Come” – Clint Mansell Outro:                 “Crimin' & Dealin'” – Clint Mansell

Thus week, we have another one that has been under consideration for a long time. 52 PICKUP is a grimy epic directed by John Frankenheimer and stars veteran actors Roy Scheider and Ann Margret. Released in 1986, this film flew mostly under the radar and garnered a split opinion from Siskel and Ebert back in the day mostly over the purported brutality and sleaziness of the film. This one slots nicely into our Neo Noir project.   Intro:                   “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill Outro:                “In My Dreams” – Dokken

Grab a beer and join us tonight for another installment of Necro Overtime! First, after 51 years, Utah County authorities have officially closed the book on the 1974 Halloween night murder of 17-year-old Laura Ann Aime, with DNA technology finally confirming what Ted Bundy confessed to before his execution but never got charged for. Then, a massive update in the Texas Killing Fields: prime suspect Clyde Hedrick died by suicide in a Houston hospital on March 21st by removing his own breathing tube, just days before prosecutors were set to seek four murder indictments against him, and his longtime friend James Elmore has since been indicted for his alleged role in the deaths of Laura Miller and Audrey Cook. And finally, we lost Nick Pope on April 6th, the former UK Ministry of Defence official who ran Britain's government UFO desk from 1991 to 1994 and spent the decades after that pushing UAP disclosure into the mainstream.

Straight out of the Necro Phone Recommendations, we dig into OUT OF THE BLUE, a heavy, bleak film directed by Dennis Hopper from 1980. Critically acclaimed, but controversial due to it's frankness with regard to sensitive topics such as drug abuse and incest, the film garnered a cult following and was released on a deluxe, special edition by Severin in 2023. Intro:                   “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill Outro:                “Hey, Hey, My, My (Out of the Blue)” – Neil Young and Crazy Horse

We have been talking about doing this one for quite a while, so with this the release of the excellent, limited-edition bluray from Arrow, we took on EXCALIBUR.            John Boorman's epic telling of the King Arthur legend was groundbreaking back in 1981. It was a darker narrative, exploring the complexities of these iconic figures and featured several familiar faces early in their careers.   Intro:                    “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill Outro:                 “Kill with Power”– Manowar

This week we go back to 2001.

More Larry Fessenden this week. We check out BENEATH, the 2013 monster movies that he directed, written by Tony Daniel and Brian D. Smith.    Intro:                    “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill Outro:                 “Male Supremacy”– Carnivore

David Fincher's classic Se7en seems like a film that we should have done years ago.  In the wake of some rumblings of a Fincher directed Netflix Se7en series, we decided it was timely to go back to the 90's for this groundbreaking crime horror movie with solid performances turned in my Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt set in a dreary nameless city.   Intro:                   “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill Outro:                “Funeral of Existence”– Mayhem

Grab a beer and join us tonight for another installment of Necro Overtime!
