Saturday Night Freak Show

Michaela finds herself trapped with a psycho inside a subterranean parking garage on Christmas Eve with P2 (2007), from the French Extreme folks who made High Tension. An NYC career girl plays cat and mouse with a sinister security guard in a multi-level maze of malice. Listen as we rev through relentless chases, gory garage gadgets, and Wes Bentley's basement-level creep factor on this week's exciting episode!

Holly initiates a Christmastime countdown curse by unwrapping The Advent Calendar (2021), in which an antique box of 24 doors promises holiday miracles for a wheelchair bound dancer. Open at your own peril as we talk folklore frights, festive fallout, wish wrecking wraiths and more on this week's exciting episode!

At long last, Sean follows the clues that lead to Dario Argento's maiden effort, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage (1970), the film that single-handedly kicked off a cottage industry of stylish giallo thrillers in Italy. An American writer witnesses a brutal attack, and then tries to solve the case while the killer zeroes in on him. Listen as we talk cat dinner delicacies, what happens when artwork attacks, and captive audiences to murder on this week's exciting episode!

Colin finds himself standing alone in defense of Outland (1981), a sci-fi riff on High Noon that stars Sean Connery as a marshal at a mining outpost on one of Jupiter's moons, fighting drugs and corruption on sets that feel borrowed from Alien. Listen as we talk space madness, exploding heads, slow children, and autoerotic asphyxiation on this week's exciting show!

Michaela plays favorites with The Good Son (1993), where a bereaved boy (Elijah Wood) crashes at his relative's snowy retreat, only to clash with golden-child Henry (Macaulay Culkin), a psychopath in the making. Listen as we dissect sibling sabotage, creepy kid classics, and discover that we need to talk about Kevin McCallister, all on this week's exciting show!

Holly does the Shimmy Slide with lawyer-actor-singer-director hyphenate John De Wirt's magnum opus, Champagne and Bullets (1993, aka Road to Revenge aka GetEven). De Hart recruits unhinged veterans Wings Hauser and William Smith along with Playboy Playmate Pamela Bryant for a tale of two LAPD cops-turned-limo drivers who tangle with a crooked cop/devil worshipper. Listen as we collectively loose our minds while witnessing multiple slow motion sex scenes set to De Wirt's drawling vocals, infanticide, stage hand prop maneuvers, and more on this week's exciting show!
