• 53: Dracula (1931, Spanish Language Version)
    Sep 16 2024

    Bryan and Dave are joined this week for their episode celebrating Latin American History Month by Dracula enthusiast, Michael Varrati! Long thought of as a lost movie, the fully restored version of Dracula, produced in tandem with Tod Browning's version with Spanish-speaking actors, the movie is practically the same film with some key differences which have, since its restoration in the 90's, caused many people to declare it the better version of Dracula. Is it? Well, it's complicated. We're going to give you all the facts and tell you all about it in this episodio.

  • 52: Friday the 13th Part 2 (Bonus)
    Sep 13 2024

    It's Friday the 13th so here's a bonus episode about Friday the 13th... Part 2. In this episode Bryan struggles with his conflicted opinions on this movie and Dave turns him to the dark side with his position that Friday Part 2 just isn't a very good movie. It IS the movie that gave us Jason despite that part of the story making any sense and it also has a heaping spoonful of 80's misogyny. Great things are to come for fans of Jason and the Friday the 13th franchise but right here, right now, they're still figuring out what they're trying to do with this movie and unfortunately, it just doesn't shake out.

  • 99CR 19: Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah
    Sep 9 2024

    We close out our two part examination of the Godzilla/King Ghidorah beef with a close look at the Heisei era movie where Americans from the future presume to travel back in time and destroy Japan with a monstrous weapon and then force what's left over to conform to their political and economic interests. This time around the America/Japan relationship is bopped real hard on the nose. We also discuss the cultural and social conditions of Japan at the time which made American attitudes toward Japan so weird and more than a little racist. Don't worry though, there's plenty of chatter about Godzilla, King Ghidorah and the peerless thrill of big, loud, Japanese special effects movies.

  • 51: Scream w/guests Ash Kelley and Alaina Urquhart
    Sep 2 2024

    We are joined once again by our friends Ash Kelley and Alaina Urquhart from Morbid to break down and diagram the greatest slasher movie of the 90's, one of the greatest horror movies of all time, Scream. It's a rare treat when a director comes along and changes the direction of an entire genre but to do it once a decade starting in the 1970's? Unheard of. And yet, Wes Craven pulled it off. Adapted from a dynamite script, written in a marathon writing session of days rather than weeks or months, and realized by a once-in -a-lifetime cast, Scream is ultimately a greater whole than the sum of its parts. Listen to us break it down in great depth.

  • 99CR 18: Ghidorah, The Three-Headed Monster
    Aug 26 2024

    Join us this week as we take a trip to Japan to talk Godzilla. This is the movie that introduced the world to Godzilla's arch-nemesis, Ghidorah, the floppiest golden dragon the world has ever seen. We also get short changed on Mothra, are delighted by those little fairy ladies who summon her, and can't help but talk shit about Rodan, one of the least compelling Godzilla monsters out there. You'll learn about Kaiju, Bryan will struggle to pronounce some Japanese words, and we'll tell you all about the several eras of Godzilla. We assure you nothing less than good time.

  • 50: The Silence of the Lambs
    Aug 19 2024

    Celebrate 50 episodes of scares, questionable taste, and Simpsons references with us as we put the lotion in the basket for a giant-sized analysis of one of the most titanic horror movies of the 1990's or maybe even of all time as we break down Jonathan Demme's iconic The Silence of the Lambs. We're all about Ted Levine's Buffalo Bill, Jodie Foster's Clarice Starling, and Sir Anthony Hopkins's Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter. We air out some grievances, talk Thomas Harris's Hannibal Lecter novels, and definitively determine which of us is the classiest brother.

  • 99CR 17: Masters of the Universe w/guest Jonny Atkinson
    Aug 12 2024

    This week, Bryan and Dave are joined by Jonny Atkinson of Uy Que Horror to talk He-Man as they take a real deep dive into the movie that drove the final nail into the Cannon Group's coffin, Masters of the Universe. We discuss the movie's enduring status as a cult film against all odds, the intense nostalgia high of a movie that seems to have gotten better with age, the utterly bonkers history of the Cannon Group, a production company that flew too close to the sun, as well as run down the troubling allegations facing the film's director, Gary Goddard.

  • 49: I Know What You Did Last Summer
    Aug 5 2024

    This week, Bryan and Dave face down the blandest notions of the 1990's with I Know What You Did Last Summer, ostensibly the first of the craven 90's Scream cash-ins, written and produced by Scream's very own Kevin Williamson. It's a movie that really takes its sweet time getting around to the mystery where four beautiful 90's young people, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Ryan Phillipe make every possible bad decision and deal with the consequences as they're stalked by the Gorton's Fisherman in a small North Carolina fishing village. Where does this movie land in the horror canon? Does it hold up after all these years? Listen to find out!
