Keep Screaming Pod People

Happy Friday the 13th to all those who celebrate (which should be all of you!) Instead of tackling one of the big boys from the iconic franchise, we swerve and take a look at an indie passion project, 13: Fanboy. With a massive alumnus cast and some truly entertaining meta ideas, 13: Fanboy struggles to add meat to the bones.

And this week, Bee reads...a romance novel?! Plus, Ryan wraps up his final frontier.

The late aughts were dedicated to the slasher remakes so finding an original IP in a sea of reboots is truly a unique experience. As is Laid to Rest. With a memorable killer and some fine-tuned craft, this little slasher that could is deserving of a lot more love.

Plus! In this week's pop culture check-in, Ryan continues his Trek trek and Bee finally got around to seeing the most emo of the Batmen.

Be on the lookout all brides-to-be! In this week's episode, we explore a slasher that would go on to influence many but is remembered by few. Bee and Ryan take a look at 1980's He Knows You're Alone, discuss why it left its mark on the horror landscape but is never discussed, and also have some fun discussing that little actor's first film role. What's his name again? Tom Hanks.

Also, in this week's pop culture check-in, Ryan brings up his annual allowance of once to discuss Wrestlemania and has also been venturing where no man has gone before. Bee took advantage of some downtime and binged...everything.

You’ll probably recognize the poster but maybe not the movie. This week, we make an appointment with Dr. Giggles, a nineties slasher that is also a sneaky comic book movie? Sort of. We didn’t expect to enjoy this as much as we did but Manny Cotos darkly humorous ‘92 slasher is a fun and pun time.

Plus, in our pop culture check-in, Ryan finally checks off a major Spielberg blind spot and Bee has got her tv groove back thanks to shows like Reacher and Euphoria. Which are nothing alike but both very good!

When Jake is finally pushed over the edge by bullies, Chucky reminisces about his first murder as a human boy, urging Jake to now make a choice--kill or be killed. In this episode Bee & Ryan get into Chucky's backstory with our first real peek into his past! We also discuss the developments of our mean girl Lexy & what makes her such an interesting bad guy and more!

On Halloween night, Chucky targets one of Jake's frenemies at a rocking costume party, forcing Jake to either stop the killer doll--or help him. This episode Bee & Ryan obsess over Hello Kitty Chucky, hypothesize about Chucky's plans for Jake & question the beverages of choice at the High School Halloween party and more!
