Episode 175: Totem (with queerdem0n)
Horror streamer and content creator queerdem0n is back this week as we cover the last of David DeCoteau's insane 2-year, 11-movie run, TOTEM! Six strangers arrive in a secluded mansion for reasons they can't explain and face off against some evil stone imps... or something.

Episode 174: Scared (with BJ Colangelo)
Get ready to get SCARED! Also known as CUT THROAT, this deeply obscure slasher was a pickup for Full Moon, and features some of the oddest material we've covered so far, but also some of the most ambitious filmmaking. We're excited to be joined by Fangoria superstar BJ Colangelo about this truly weird little movie.

Episode 173: Murderbot / Chopping Mall
This week, we're discussing MURDERBOT, a 2023 Jim Wynorski film about a killer robot gone awry. But since MURDERBOT is only 46 minutes long, we decided to also talk about another Jim Wynorski film about killer robots gone awry, the 1986 cult classic CHOPPING MALL!

Episode 172: Deadly End (with Michael Gingold)
Well, that was fucked up. This week, we're talking about probably the most extreme movie in our entire catalog: DEADLY END, a 2008 obscurity that blends David Lynch with John Waters for a visceral, disgusting, hugely memorable experience. We're joined by the man who helped us unearth this video nasty, Fangoria legend and horror historian Michael Gingold!

Episode 171: End of the World (with Marc Gottlieb and Amber Kloss)
It's the END OF THE WORLD as we know it, but we feel fine, because we have returning guests Marc Gottlieb and Amber Kloss on this week! Marc and Amber help us try to make sense of this drab 1977 production, which features the PM/CF debut of horror icon Christopher Lee!

Episode 170: BONUS - An Interview with Anita Rosenberg
As a special treat this week, Jarrod sits down with writer/director Anita Rosenberg, the woman who helmed the cult favorite ASSAULT OF THE KILLER BIMBOS!

Episode 169: Lurid Tales: The Castle Queen (with Amanda Jane Stern)
Torchlight Films takes a bow with the silly and sexy 1997 skin flick LURID TALES: THE CASTLE QUEEN! This VR history drama (yes, really) is a bodice ripper in the proudest tradition, and so we had to bring in an expert in the genre: author and filmmaker Amanda Jane Stern, who lends her expertise to the film's historical inaccuracies and bizarre depiction of sex-adjacent activities.

Episode 168: Don't Let Her In / Bring Her To Me
This week we're going guestless for a couple of shorter recent thrillers from a couple of Full Moon stalwarts. First, we're checking out the retro yuppie thriller vibes of Ted Nicolaou's DON'T LET HER IN. Then, we're hopping into bed with the dream thriller BRING HER TO ME from director Brooks Davis!
