On this episode, we cover 1984's White Fire, a story of diamond heists, martial arts, mob killings, twincest, and stolen identity. Boris and his twin sister Ingrid work for a diamond mine, but are secretly smuggling diamonds for their adopted father. When Ingrid is murdered, Boris and his love interest plan to steal the mythical White Fire - a huge radioactive diamond capable of burning off faces. Their plan involves a mystical commune of women led by a plastic surgeon.

Episode 97 - Vintage: Plankton!

While on hiatus, we recorded a series of conversations that were never published. Now that life has calmed down, we plan to edit these conversations for release as VINTAGE episodes, outside of our normal programming.
in this episode we discuss the sensitive story of five Italian teenagers on a boat in Miami. Unfortunately, in 1994's Plankton, this boat houses a research laboratory stocked with mutant fish. Also known as Creatures from the Abyss, this is a film you have to see to believe. Where else can you see interspecies romance and reproduction bridging land and sea?

And we're back! After an unfortunately long absence, we've finally returned - like ghouls ready to summon a mythical missing link.
On this episode, we cover the 1988 regional Colorado flick - Curse of the Blue Lights. If you're a fan of rubber monster suits, 50s make-out spots, killer scarecrows, creamed corn, zombies, witches, police shootouts, cursed medallions, poltergeist attacks, or undead funerals, then this is for you! That's right, it's a jumbled mess of a film, but we love it anyway.

In this episode, we tackle one of the strangest genre mashups of the 80s - Xtro. You want alien abduction and UFO activity? Check. How about snake egg eating? Check. A woman giving birth to a fully grown man? Check again. As if that wasn't enough, little Toby has developed mind control powers! This is a weird one folks.

In this episode, we revisit the work of Roberta Findlay (Janie) with 1988's Prime Evil. This one involves a coven of Satanic monks living in 1980s New York! Directed by a grungy porn director! It should - as the kids say - slay. Alas, it doesn't. Tune in to hear why.

This week, we dive into the blood-soaked world of H.G. Lewis with his especially nonsensical 1970 venture - the Wizard of Gore. Montag conducts horribly gruesome magic "tricks" on stage (although we disagree on what the audience actually sees), only for the victims to die hours later. You don't want to miss one of America's first true gore films!

This week, we discuss a class of 80s horror that - until now - went somehow unseen by Leland. Tune in to hear how he reacts to this tale of Charlie Brewster, his "evil" friend Ed, a young Marcy Darcy, and the immortal Roddy McDowell. Chris Sarandon is immortal too, in the film at least, as the vampire Jerry Dandridge, out to terrify the suburbs.

This week, we discuss the 1981 cult classic - and rare starring role for Clint Howard - Evilspeak! Poor Stanley Coopersmith, a socially awkward orphan, is bullied at a military academy. Bullied, that is, until he uses an early Apple computer to summon Satan and is possessed by the spirit of Esteban!

This week, we dip our toes in the Satanic Panic with this made-for-tv assault against Dungeons and Dragons". Interestingly, it's not the game's alleged connections to the dark arts that we should worry about. Instead, the film focuses on the risks of a mentally-unstable college student (a young Tom Hanks) losing himself in his fictional character. If you're a fan of after-school specials, you might dig this

One of several collaborations between writer-director Greg Lamberson and star Craig Sabin, 1988's Slime City focuses on a derelict apartment building that may or may not be a cover for a coven of regenerating, reincarnated witches who transfer bodies via the consumption of "Himalayan Yoghurt." It's as bonkers as it sounds!
