SlashU Podcast

We're joined by two very special guests this week for our Thanksgiving episode. We welcomed James Knight and Mike McCarty from The Head, the Tail, the Whole Damn Thing podcast. Here are several ways to look at their stuff:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-head-the-tail-the-whole-damn-thing/id1770582816https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLX9jZDSn46cTUyY2AbSWQCz8dtQA0tu06Link iconListen NOW via Link treelinktr.ee/Thewholedamnthing13?utm_source=linktree_profile_share&ltsid=8d525918-3d87-4931-b1e7-8387c105d228Link iconJoin and Listen via Patreon!www.patreon.com/TheWholeDamnThingLink iconListen on Spotifyopen.spotify.com/show/04sN411sK7OXsonaHoNfWn?si=L_HPs4QbQ6upxTILSl1COAhttps://www.instagram.com/thewholedamnthing13/The guys joined us to talk about their experience in the movie industry and generally nerd out about horror movies. Plus we talked about "Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead" from 2006. Wow! What an all-over-the-place movie! The story centers around Arbie and his love interest Wendy. They get wrapped up in the drama around a new fast-food chicken restaurant that's opening its doors to some heavy protests. The restaurant is built on an old Native American burial ground. And everyone knows that's a recipe for some haunted chicken. We had a blast picking it apart and hope you enjoy your Thanksgiving listening to us!

Welcome back to another fun episode of SlashU. This week we jumped back to cover a sequel to a movie we discussed a long time ago on the podcast; "Slumber Party Massacre." It felt wrong that we had not covered part two when we try to knock out sequels whenever we can here on the show. So this week we bring you the delayed but not forgotten "Slumber Party Massacre II" from 1987. With some references to the first one, this one cranks up the gore but also left us wondering, "was it all a dream?" Take a listen and let us know what you think.

This week we covered our first slasher movie made in New Zealand. It's straight out of 2021 and it's called "Buzz Cut." When a group of friends who call themselves a Running Club (but they use it as an excuse to get drunk) find themselves in 'the bush' up against a killer in a beekeeper uniform, it's a race against time to see who can make it out alive. Anytime a killer uses a beekeeper outfit and a chainsaw, you can sign us up to watch!

On this week's episode we jumped back to 1981 and covered an Australian movie called "Lady, Stay Dead." The story centers around handyman and serial killer Gordon Mason. He's obsessed with the actress/music superstar Marie Coleby. He takes care of the grounds around her remote Australian estate. Things go off the rails when Marie rejects Gordon's advances. Next thing you know, her sister Jenny comes to visit and has to contend with Gordon's psychosis. It's an interesting movie and we've watched and recorded our thoughts her for you! Enjoy!

On this week's podcast we covered "The Barn" from 2016. It's made in 2016 but set in 1989. We follow the story of Sam and Josh and their friends as they travel to a Halloween night rock concert. They get detoured to the town of Wheary Falls and stop near a barn at the local pumpkin patch. But the group accidentally unleashes a terrifying triple threat of demons in the form of The Miner, The Pumpkin Man, and The Scarecrow. Our gang of teens need to find a way to escape the horror, save the town, but they might miss their rock concert. Let us know what you think!

On this week's episode we connected via online teleconference style to talk about "Hell House LLC" from 2015. It's a found footage movie with a twist. They tell the story like it's a documentary which makes the found footage 'fit in' a little better than other movies that do similar things. And let's just say students, this one gets it right. Light on gore, but heavy on creep factor. We both loved it. It's the story of a group of friends opening a haunted house at an old abandoned hotel. But on opening night, there's a terrible tragedy. And five years later, a documentary crew is on the case trying to get to the bottom of what happened. Definitely a great watch for Spooky Season. Let us know what you think!
