This week we bring the Re-Animator series to a close with a look back and the sadly lifeless BEYOND REANIMATOR. A co-production with Spain, this direct-to-SyFy entry find Jeffrey Combs still bringing the goods as Dr. Herbert West. Unfortunately, the rest of the cast doesn't seem up to the task, and even the special FX seem like a retread from what's come before.

The gang talks the unhinged, special FX masterpiece, campy horror, and dare we say queer horror classic BRIDE OF RE-ANIMATOR

The gang talks the 80's sci-fi horror comedy classic, Stuart Gordon's RE-ANIMATOR, an adaptation of HP Lovecraft's short story.

This week Mike, Devaughn & Ariel are on hand to talk about the sixth entry into the long running Evil Dead franchise, EVIL DEAD BURN. It’s fair to say this one is the most divisive among longtime fans of the series, as director Sebastian Vanicek brings more than a touch of French Extremity to a franchise know just as much for its campy laughs as it is over the top gore.

Mike unlocks this patreon episode from 2020 to discuss THE BLOB (1988) in remembrance of Chuck Russell. Plus, a bonus segment from Mike's appearance on WGBH's The Curiosity Desk to talk CHUD.

Mike and Devaughn are on hand to break down the bigger, more gothic second season of Netflix's Wednesday

This week we explore an Addams Family reimagined with our breakdown on the first season of the Netflix smash hit WEDNESDAY.

This week Mike, Ariel & Devaughn head back to animation land and ask the question, "Is Wednesday Addams kind of a jerk?" When we're not badmouthing young children, we're hitting a wide range of topics not limited to Mike's annual existential crisis about the state of the show and the franchises we cover. That said, there is a lot to discuss here including some eye-catching animation and gags and just what happened to kids' movies at the turn of the decade?

This week we step way out of our normal comfort zone and talk about the scariest thing of all: 21st century animated movies made for six-year-olds! That’s right, we’re going to discuss 2019’s THE ADDAMS FAMILY!
