This week we knock three movies off our list as we take on GAME OVER, which is listed on Netflix three times in three different languages. When a gamer's cute gamer tattoo starts burning, what could be the cause? Is it related to the viscious crime she endured a year ago, the heinous murder we witness in a chilling prologue, or both? Join us as we get to the bottom of that mystery and also discuss the appeal of STRANGER THINGS, the appeal of Zippo lighters, and much more. Also: Steven recaps his recent viewings of MAD GOD and ALLIGATOR. Join the conversation on Discord:https://discord.gg/PptTvM3mCd
This week we're joined by very special guest Rowan from It Slays Podcast to chat about Zack Synder's auteur vision ARMY OF THE DEAD, the Netflix-original zombie action film. We discuss the production of the film, what sets it apart from other zombie movies (for better and for worse), the likeability of Dave Bautista, the likeability of Zack Snyder, the likeability of Zack Snyder's filmography, and we try to put our finger on the political intentions of the movie.

It's summertime and we are workin' on our NIGHTBOOKS as we discuss the Netflix-original family-friendly spookshow that is for some reason not categorized on Netflix under "horror" even though BHOOTHNATH was. What is "gateway horror"? Is this it? How do you think a kid should get into horror movies? Feel free to send us a message and let us know how you feel. Also feel free to join us on our brand-new Discord server where listeners of the show congregate to chat about movies, all things horror, and other stuff on their minds:https://discord.gg/PptTvM3mCd
This week we review what seems like 40 movies in one with the Netflix-original German film THE PRIVILEGE (Das Privileg). We also discuss exorcisms, seances, ghosts, hallucinations, conspiracies, spy shit, body horror, high school raves, LGBTQ activism, Resident Evil, sexual-orientation-bending romantic encounters with multiple partners, police investigations, and— oh wait, nope, that's all still just stuff that's in THE PRIVILEGE. Join us as we sort it all out!

This week we do some science with Kevin Bacon and Elizabeth Shue as we discuss HOLLOW MAN, Paul Verhoeven's last American film and one that asks us to think about what it would be like to be invisible, whether Kevin Bacon is an off-putting person in general or just in this movie, how much importance we should project onto the word "Man" in a movie title, and whether we can pretend that gross and offensive depictions of sex crimes are actually an intelligent commentary on the surveillance state.
This week we’re joined by Allyson-with-a-Y to discuss the career, talents, and personal life of Megan Fox; the physical properties of chains, arms, and ice; and the confounding plot intricacies of “adult Home Alone.” That’s right, we’re talking about TILL DEATH!
