Si vous nous écoutez, vous savez que le remake de Massacre à la tronçonneuse fut le déclencheur de longs débats au sein de l'équipe, on s'est donc dit qu'on allait remonter directement à la source pour en savoir plus. Nous sommes très heureux de vous présenter une interview qui revient sur la création du film, la pression liée à la célébrité du film original, la collaboration avec le fou du bus originel ( Michael Bay )...

It should have been so simple. In fact, the hook is just two words: space vampires. That's it! And yet what resulted is a roiling boil of Dracula tropes, sweaty performances, extended nudity, and some of the best shriveled puppets you'll ever see! That's right, we're zapping the energy out of 1985's LIFEFORCE with the help of actor and stand-up, Matthew Broussard (watch his new comedy special, Hyperbolic here!!). Along the way, we learn all Tobe Hooper's magic touch, how the producers of Cannon Films nearly tore the film apart, why Steve Railsback is playing so many different Bram Stoker roles in one movie, and Matthew schools us on physics!!

Single White Female from 1992 is an interesting movie. It seemed to be a big deal at the time, but neither of us remember anything about it. The rumors of Jenna Ortega starring in a remake are certainly interesting, however. The Saw franchise brings back a lot of pleasant memories. Sure, the vast majority of them are tied to the first, but the same can be said about most long running movie series. Naturally, we have opinions about the cancellation of Saw XI and its future.Though we do not have the opportunity to cover them as much as we would like to, we enjoy short films. In this episode we get to talk about three shorts from the Boston Underground Festival. A gory anthology, the truth about banjo strings, and a really cool stop motion flick all caught our attention.Another movie from BUFF that interested us was Chain Reactions. That it was about The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was cool enough. Chainsaw is one of the most important horror movies of all time and has a special place in our childhoods. That Stephen King is also prominently featured made it impossible for us to ignore.Alexandre O. Phillipe is a great filmmaker who has made tremendous documentaries about David Lynch, Alien, and The Exorcist. His signature style is on full display here as Chain Reactions is a perfect mix of nostalgia, theory, and opinion on Tobe Hooper's classic. It is a must watch.It has literally been years since we have reviewed a documentary about a cult. So, we were very excited to watch AUM: The Cult at the End of the World. We knew it would be interesting, but we had no idea what to expect. One of us was so dumbfounded by what they saw that they could only use one word to describe it.Aum is unlike any other cult. (Somehow, it is still in existence - kinda.) At its peak, it could legitimately claim worldwide membership that was in the tens of thousands. The existed in full view of the public, Worst of all, they had a relationship with the media that can only be described as friendly. It is a truly wild documentary.

If you weren't afraid of industrial laundry machines, well guess again sucker! Tobe Hooper was brave enough to film a screen adaptation of one of Stephen King's earliest short stories and 30 years later, we're talking about THE MANGLER (1995). Obviously, some liberties were taken in the storytelling aspect here to pad it out into a feature-length film, but the basic tale is more or less intact: possessed laundry machine likes the taste of people and eventually becomes sentient and chases the detective main character around town. The premise is wacky and Hooper really got into the scrubbing here, so our discussion has time to… air dry, if you will… Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Welcome to the place where we get to let our geek flags fly and talk about all things geek. Basically a fuzzy guide to life, the universe, and everything but mostly geek stuff. This level of the podcast is a wayback brought to you by grief and the realization that this level wasn't available on the spotify collection of the podcast. Words don't do it for this experience of losing a kiddo. Grief unfortunately isn't a team sport but I take great comfort in having these episodes both for myself and to share. Let's activate the wayback and head to September 17, 2017 back when life was happier and the podcast was much much younger. Hey howdy hey friends. Wookiee back with another guest joining me for an episode about life, the universe, and everything but mostly geek stuff. I'm so stoked my oldest kiddo joined me to talk all about the 2017 movie IT. We went to see it and had to get some of our thoughts out to the interweb. Most of the podcast is all about the movie in a general overview sort of way. We tried hard to avoid spoilers but just in case, here's your warning there might be something given away if you haven't seen IT. Overall, we stayed on task with only a little digression about other things like politics. Hard to avoid that when you're talking with a politically woke human being like my oldest little wookiee.If you ever wondered what I look like watching scary movies… this is your show. This is an honest review of the newest Stephen King adaptation plus some digression into the novel, the miniseries from the 80s, coulrophobia, a-holes in Pennsylvania, other creepy clown movies (Stitches/Dead Clowns/Killer Clowns From Outer Space), actors the Losers would like to play their adult selves, Happy Death Day, an RIP for Tobe Hooper, Poltergeist, circuses, hybrid animals, American Horror Story Cult, and Stephen King tweets. So much fun having a conversation with one of my offspring and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did recording it. Congrats on completing another wayback level of the podcast! Despite the sadness, I'm so happy I have a conversation like this saved. Think positive, test negative, stay safe, wash your hands, wear a mask, and good luck out there.

On this edition of Parallax Views, Terrifier 2 & Terrifier 3's star final girl, Lauren LaVera, has a new fright flick, The Fetus, coming out on March 7th that'll combine comedy and body horror! And it'll also feature horror icon Bill Moseley, know for his roles as the brutal killer Otis Driftwood in Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses & The Devil's Rejects and the demented Choptop in Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, in a deliciously macabre role as a blind veteran with psychotic side. As you can probably surmise from the title, the movie will tackle pregnancy horror and creature feature thrills vis-à-vis a demonic baby. If you're a fan of 80s horrors like John Carpenter's The Thing or Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street, you'll be glad to know that the movie relies heavily on practical creature effects. It also promises to be a timely fright flick in light of the debates the rage on in American culture over abortion. Joining us to discuss the movie is the film's director, Joe Lam. We'll talk about the experience of working with Lauren LaVera and Bill Moseley, the long process of writing the movie, the influence of Orson Welles' Citizen Kane on Joe, the film's use of practical effects and the award-winning work of Alex Rojas on the creature effects, the decision to release The Fetus unrated and increasing obsolescence of the MPAA ratings system in the age of streaming, thoughts on Sean Baker's Oscar speech in which he made a call for defending independent film and movie theaters in an age where both are under threat, balancing comedy/humor and horror, the importance of story and character development in Joe Lam's approach to horror, and much, much more!

And to celebrate the J.G. decided to dig up an interview that was previously unreleased related to holiday. In 1981, George Mihalka's Canadian slasher My Bloody Valentine hit theaters. In the years since it has become a cult classic, enough so, in fact, to get a Hollywood remake in 2009 directed by Wes Craven protege Patrick Lussier & starring heartthrob Jensen Ackles from the hit TV show Supernatural. The original movie, in which a town known as Valentine Bluffs experiences a series of murders seemingly committed by a vengeful, deranged miner known as Harry Warden, has never received a proper sequel. Fans of the movie, however, came together to get a professionally done, feature-length fan sequel. It's called Valentine Bluffs: A My Bloody Valentine Fan Film and even features a guest starring performance from Troma's Lloyd Kaufman as the Mayor of Valentine Bluffs. It features all the bloody mayhem one would expect from a sequel to My Bloody Valentine, and, best of all for fans of 80s horror, features lovingly made practical effects rather than CGI. In this previously unreleased interview, I speak with director and special effects artist Tom Smith and lead actress Rachel Keefe about Valentine Bluffs: A My Bloody Valentine Fan Film in-depth! You can view the fan film for free on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIIOv49awUU. Near the end of the conversation Rachel talks about her upcoming role in Joe Lam's horror movie The Fetus. As it turns out, The Fetus is set to be released next month, March 2025, and, in addition to Rachel Keefe, stars Terrifier 2 and Terrifier 3's Lauren LaVera as well as genre stalwart Bill Moseley from Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil's Rejects, and Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre! All that and more on this edition of Parallax Views!

Beginning his midcareer transition into increasingly edgy roles, Stewart portrays an avenging sharpshooter whose stolen rifle becomes a harbinger of death as it is passed from one doomed hand to the next. Featuring a stellar cast that includes a touching Shelley Winters, a sensationally sleazy Dan Duryea, and a pre-stardom Rock Hudson, this elemental tale of violence begetting violence broke new ground with its evocation of the West as a no-man's-land of antiheroes and villains.4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew 4K digital restoration, undertaken by Universal Pictures in collaboration with The Film Foundation, with uncompressed monaural soundtrackOne 4K UHD disc of the film and one Blu-ray with the film and special featuresAudio commentary featuring actor James Stewart and film historian Paul LindenschmidtNew interview with film programmer Adam Piron on the portrayal of Native Americans in the western genreForces of Nature: Anthony Mann at Universal, a program on a key chapter in the director's careerLux Radio Theatre adaptation of the film from 1951TrailerEnglish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingPlus: An essay by critic Imogen Sara SmithNew cover by Gregory ManchessScout Tafoya - Buy THE BLACK BOOK hereScout Tafoya is a film critic, video essayist, filmmaker, and author of Cinemaphagy: On The Psychedelic Classical Form of Tobe Hooper, the first book-length critical study of the director of "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre."

This week on Friday Night Frightfest, we're exploring the terrifying concept of alien parasites with two sci-fi horror classics: Lifeforce (1985) and Species (1995). Lifeforce (1985) Directed by Tobe Hooper, Lifeforce tells the story of a space mission to Halley's Comet that unearths a terrifying alien species that feeds on human life energy. When the aliens arrive on Earth, they unleash a wave of chaos and terror, leaving a trail of drained and lifeless victims in their wake. Species (1995) Directed by Roger Donaldson, Species explores the arrival of a genetically engineered alien on Earth. This seductive and deadly creature seeks a mate to continue its species, and it quickly becomes apparent that she poses a significant threat to human existence. Join us as we dissect these two iconic sci-fi horrors, discussing their special effects, their exploration of alien sexuality, and their enduring impact on the genre. We'll also delve into the social and cultural anxieties reflected in these films, such as the fear of the unknown and the dangers of scientific tampering. Spoilers Start around 7:10.

We'll discuss how the film's raw, documentary-style aesthetic created a sense of realism that left audiences both terrified and mesmerised.From there, we'll delve into the sequels, starting with Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986), which shifted tones from gritty horror to dark comedy while introducing new, memorable characters and expanding on the mythology of the Sawyer family.Next, we'll explore Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III (1990), a film that struggled with the franchise's identity amidst changing horror landscapes and censorship challenges.We'll also take a closer look at *Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation* (1994), which aimed to reinvigorate the series with a fresh perspective but met with mixed reviews.Throughout this episode, we'll discuss the thematic elements that link these films, the portrayal of family dynamics and violence, and how each instalment reflects the societal anxieties of its time.

The story of how this movie came to exist is as wild as the film itself. The making of this film took a toll on everyone involved. Some went on to have huge careers, others faded into obscurity. Along the way they suffered on screen and off to create a legendary film that is a right of passage.  Disclaimer: there is a slight audio issue with one of the mics.
