Mining the dark depths of Tubi for undiscovered gems
Untold Horrors: Backwoods Horror Pt. 2 (He's Out There Plus Bonus Picks!)
In part two of our deep dive into Tubi's backwoods horror offering, we go searching for treasure only to find the lackluster 2018 American slasher/home invasions/survival horror He's Out There, directed by Dennis Iliadis using the Alan Smithee-like alias Quinn Lasher). There may be a good reason Iliadis opted to remove his name from this film about a mother and her two young daughters getting terrorized by a masked maniac while vacationing at their remote lake house. Having just celebrated Thanksgiving in America, we can tell you that it's not a complete turkey. But it's also kind of bland and unsatisfying in so many ways. It left us craving more. Listen as we slice and dice this strange bird. Plus, stick around for our two bonus picks to see if 2016's campy queer slasher Pitchfork and 2007's teen haunted house slasher House of Fears end up being hot picks or if they leave us cold.

Untold Horrors: Backwoods Horror Pt. 1 (Butchers)
In part one of our deep dive into Tubi's backwoods horror offering, we take a chance on Butchers, a 2020 Canadian slasher film directed by Adrian Langley. It's about two sadistic brothers living in the backcountry who consider anyone who crosses their path to be dead meat. While we were fully ready to roast this one, expecting it to be another horror hatchet job, we found ourselves delighted by its sadistic charms and warmed by its weirdness. This is one we were happy to carve up and serve to our fellow fans of backwoods/redneck horror. It's proof that Tubi does indeed have treasures worth mining. Don't miss this episode; it sizzles!

Untold Horrors: Infected Horror
Jamie and Steph go mining for Tubi treasures, exploring the world of infected horror — that’s horror films where someone (or many someones) gets infected by some kind of disease or plague, and nastiness ensues.  Things get weird and icky as we determine if the 2015 Danish Horror film WHAT WE BECOME and the 2006 grindhouse oddity MAD COWGIRL are infectious delights or a plague upon viewers.  Both films made us think and gave us plenty to dissect. One film is a beautifully made arthouse gem with heartbreaking gravitas. The other is an ode sleazeploitation and Asian trash cinema while still being surprisingly smart and subversive.  Saddle up and prepare for a wild ride!

Untold Horrors: Cults
Jamie and Steph go mining for Tubi treasures, exploring the world of evil cults — mixed with elements of body horror, rape-revenge horror, and plenty of devil-worshipping weirdness.

PLUS, stay for the end for a very special dramatic re-enactment, ripped from the unhinged madness that is SATAN'S CHILDREN. On this episode, we're all going straight to "Jesus H Christ HEEEEELLLLLL!!!"
