In this episode, Dustin's recent J-Horror bender spills over into the podcast proper as his fervor for disturbing Japanese media leads us back to one of our favorite directors: Kiyoshi Kurosawa. Not content to rest upon only covering one of his early TV movies, this time we look at a film that many consider a lesser entry in his filmography. So put on your detective's hat and join us as we try to unravel the mystery of Creepy from 2016. But before all that, Tales from the Crypt has hit Shudder, and we're hyped to talk about it. And so much more!

In this episode, Jason's pick takes us back in time to the 70s and over to Spain for a challenging little flick directed by Narciso Ibáñez Serrador. Join us as we question its use of mondo movie elements and ultimately tackle the titular question posed by Who Can Kill a Child? from 1976. But before all that, Jason dishes on a delightful piece of regional filmmaking, and Dustin goes on a J-Horror bender with some newer flicks. And so much more!

In this episode, Dustin's pick returns to the topic of Eli Roth as we discuss another film from his body of work. No, it's not an alternate universe John Wick movie, but if you squint hard enough, we understand. Join us as we check out Roth's modernized remake of 70's classic Death Game: Knock Knock from 2015. But is this a rightly maligned career low point or a misunderstood masterpiece? We get into it and, of course, have a lengthy discussion about the concept of free pizza. But before all that, Jason talks some Animal Attack subgenre while Dustin polishes off his revisit of Fulci's Gates of Hell trilogy as he once again tries re-evaluating its final entry.

In this episode, after some extensive black magic rituals, Dustin has (mostly) recovered from his illness, and we take to the mics once again to continue our exploration of genre cinema. This time Jason's pick takes us back to the 80's (as usual) but specifically to Hong Kong to check out Tony Ching Siu-Tung's legendary A Chinese Ghost Story from 1987. Prepare yourself for a tale of two varied takes as our hosts weigh in quite differently on the spectacle. But before all that, we dish on some recent watches as Jason scratches off an unseen Sam Raimi flick and Dustin champions an odd slice of V-Cinema trash. And so much more!

In this episode, we return to our original plan by checking out another holiday slasher narrowly missing its relevant time period. But is it a worthy holiday slasher or some unremarkable fodder for the junk pile? Join us as we tackle that question and check out Jamie Blanks' Valentine from 2001. But before all that, we dish on what we've been watching. Jason circles back to check out some of the more obscure Hammer Horror releases while Dustin is overwhelming hyped about the new Kamen Rider and desperately tries to upsell others into checking it out.

In this episode, we revive our time-honored tradition of checking out indie films that directors pitch our way to shine some extra light and love in their direction. Prepare yourself for a horror comedy with a satisfying mix of gore and laughs in equal measure. Join us as we check out a new holiday slasher streaming now on Scream Box: New Fears Eve directed by P.J. Starks and Eric Huskisson from 2025. But before all that, Jason dishes on some newer streaming shows, and Dustin drives down nostalgia lane to revisit a Fulci favorite. And so much more!

In this episode, we kick off the new year with our first proper film. We felt it was time to circle back to the much-beloved 80s to revisit one of the first directors we geeked out over on this podcast. So join us as we check out William Friedkin's over the top epic To Live and Die in L.A. from 1985. Jason unpacks the mastery on hand during the film's production, and Dustin shares his initial impressions, having surprisingly never seen the flick before. But before all that, we dish on what we've been watching in 2026 so far, and that includes more Shaw Brothers antics and a pair of questionable found-footage horror movies. And so much more!
