Horror Movie Yearbook

Our summer series takes a detour to Frogtown as we accompany Sam Hell as he spreads his seed across a desolate land created by some sort of nuclear war that left mutated frogs with snake penises. It's a real movie! So join us as we discuss the life and career of Roddy Piper, the low budget zen filmmaker Don Jackson, the pretty excelllent effects work, and whether or not we would fall for Nurse Spangler's seduction training. Thank you as always to The Gamma Foundation for our theme music. Check them out on Spotify!

We give some predictions for Marvel's 2026 Comic-Con panel. If you don't care about superhero movies, go ahead and skip this one and come back next time when we discuss Roddy Piper fighting mutant frogs.

Our Summer Series rolls on as we head back to the 1970s to visit a small Georgia town being overrun by electrified killer worms. Join us as we talk about the top ten songs and toys of 1976, the unique career of director Jeff Lieberman, the importance of this low-budget shlocker in the careers of two legends: Rick Baker and Drew Struzan, and how exactly you get your thumb get bitten off by a worm. We don't really have an answer for that. Sorry.

Willie went to Nashville to check out three nights of The Protomen, and he does his best to convey the feeling of being in the same room as Tim Capello.

Our Summer Series continues as we take the Time Machine back to the Ozploitation era to check out Razorback. We talk about the odd career of Russell Mulcahy and wonder what happened. We also discuss whether the main character in this movie moves on a little too fast from his dead wife, talk about Hogzilla and the intelligence of pigs, and dissect how music videos informed one of the best sequences of this movie. We spend the first section of this episode talking about the journey to getting this one recorded including near death experiences starting generators, basement tents, and toddlers coughing into balloons and then shoving the ballons directly into their parents mouths. If that is not of any interest to you, skip ahead to about 20 minutes in for our standard unmatched film and music analysis.

Willie has been gaming so we are excited to talk about some horror games being released the rest of 2026 and into 2027 (and maybe beyond depending on how long GTA gets delayed).
