    Episode 101: Sorceress (1982)

    Episode 101: Sorceress (1982)

    This time we revisit the work of Jack Hill with our first foray into fantasy - 1982's Sorceress! When a Merlin like figure rescues twin babies from sacrifice by an evil sorcerer, he sets in chain a cosmic series of events. The twins grow up, gain magical powers, and lead a ragtag team to try and conquer the bad guys. Somehow two sky gods show up, but no sorceress. This one's an absolute mess, but it's also a blast. Enjoy!

    Episode 99 - Vintage: The Hills Have Eyes (1977)

    Episode 99 - Vintage: The Hills Have Eyes (1977)

    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 explore the uncharted New Mexico desert, home to many hills with many eyes. This early Wes Craven flick is clearly inspired by the success of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Craven's own Last House on the Left. The titular eyes belong to a family that lives primitively, practicing cannibalism and communicating via walkie-talkies. Watch as a "normal American family" grows increasingly desperate in their fight to survive. Trigger warning: there's a burning, cactus crucifixion. Just in case that's at the root of your trauma.

    Episode 98: White Fire (1984)

    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! (1994)

    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?

    Episode 96: Curse of the Blue Lights (1988)

    Episode 96: Curse of the Blue Lights (1988)

    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.
