Halloween is Forever

Taking a break from the usual, Brian, Meg and Steve watched the Chainsaw Awards on Shudder. We recap our favorite winners, who we think missed out and why. We recap the short films, since most people likely missed out. We question if curmudgeon is the right word for John Carpenter? We wonder is there anything David Dastmalchian can't do or isn't in this year?

All this and more; plus with announce our Redneck Shenanigans movies for our June Showdown.

This week we're watching a listener suggestion. All the way from Indian comes Mahakaal; a near scene for scene rip off of the original Nightmare on Elm Street. But the directors of the film Shyam and Tulsi Ramsay said, "What if we add a bunch of dance numbers, kung fu fights, and the Indian equivalent of Ernest P. Worrell?" And that's how we get Mahakaal aka The Monster. All of that plus feet peepin'.

Spoilers abound, but tune in for our thoughts on this latest entry into the series.

This week the ever benevolent Champ of Champs Steve does not force Brian and returning guest Bigfoot Ben to watch an awful film. He gifts them the funny and irreverent slasher parody Slashening: The Final Beginning, from Troma of course. Directed by Brandon Bassham with a cast comprised of NYC comedians and actors, the film is a sequel to 2015's The Slashening. Can a victim support group come together as some sort of upright citizens brigade and stand up to Sackface? Tune in and find out.

Plus we announce our June Showdown voting categories.

We're past the halfway mark to Halloween. Come celebrate with a cavalcade of hunky boys before they were stars when . . .

Paul Rudd in Halloween 6 (1995)

vs

Justin Long in Jeepers Creepers (2001)

vs

Bradley Cooper in The Midnight Meat Train (2008)

Can Brian stalk his way to another title reign, or is he cursed to remain titleless? Will special guest Bigfoot Ben be the first guest to win the championship, or are his hopes getting stuffed in a pipe? Does Steve have the tools to repeat his win from last month, or does his championship have a train to catch?

Tune in as three mutant horror nerds rip each other’s guts out on the way to deciding who’s film reigns supreme!

This week is a tag team of Brian and Steve, while Meg is off conquering Europe. They tackle the newly released action-comedy-horror release from Chris McKay, Renfield. An absolutely stacked casting with Nic Cage as Dracula is rounded out by Nicholas Hoult, Awkwafina, and Ben Schwartz. But is this the sequel to Dracula everyone and Brian were hoping for? Maybe not. But is it the best Marvel film of 2023, so far? Yeah probably. Tune in for our full spoilerish thoughts.

Plus we also talk about the trailer for The Last Voyage of the Demeter, the Fast and Furious franchise, and announce our May Showdown movies.

A new champ was crowned at the end of the Robot Rampage, and that champ is dark hearted and vengeful. They've chosen return to the core values of The Punishment Film and unleash D.A. Jackson's scatological nightmare upon their cohosts and you the listener. Terrible acting, unlistenable audio, sloppy editing, questionable effects; all married to one of the most disgusting plots this side of a shady link from a friend with behavioral problems.  

Plus we announce the topic for May's Showdown

April showers bring robot rampages is how that saying goes from now on. After much anticipation, we find out who's film of mechanical mayhem is tops. It's:

Jim Wynorski's Murderbot (2023)

vs

Westworld (1973)

vs

Screamers (1995)

Will Meg strip the champ . . . hahahaha ... no sorry. Can't even make believe Meg is going to win this one. She got saddled with a steaming pile. But can Brian defend his title from the outlaw bandits, or will his championship be snatched up at the theme park lost and found? Is Steve set to (robo)cop an easy victory, or is he on the wrong end of the Sword?

While the Brian is away, the Steves and Megs will play...and by that we mean they'll watch a silly robot movie. From Gerard Johnstone the director/writer of Housebound, and James Wan of Fast and Furious and Malignant and Saw and ... and ...  and ... comes M3GAN. An imperfect film about how imperfect people can only create imperfect AI. Our only episode with sweet wine, Mallort, Furbys, and Robocop 2 references all in one place.

This week Steve tricks Brian and Meg into watching a real stinkeroo. From the writer director of Equilibrium comes his original adaptation of Stephen King's Children of the Corn. Kurt Wimmer's version filmed in 2020, but sat on the shelf like so much canned corn. Now it's on Shudder and we all have to suffer. Prostrate yourself at the altar of He Who Cannot Write Dialogue, and tune in. 

And we announce our April Showdown movies ... with a very unique wrinkle.
