    380: 'Penny Lane is Dead' (2026)

    We hate to start the show with sad news. But the older we get, the more it seems to happen. Two icons from our childhood suddenly passed away and we talk about their accomplishments and the legacy they left behind. Despite not actually reviewing it for our show, we have talked a lot about Obsession. The little horror film has caught the public imagination like no other movie this year. We talk about the success of Obsession and what it means to indie horror in general. We do not shy away from movies that make us uncomfortable. On the contrary, we often go looking for them. We did not expect Penny Lane is Dead to be one of those films. We figured it would be a fun homage to 1980s Ozploitation. And in a lot of ways it was. But then there are the moments that harken to a darker side of the sub-genre. The movie is disgusting, bloody, tense, and an all around difficult watch. And through it all it manages to sneak in some genuine humor. It was a confusing watch to say the least. We had no hesitation when it came to the ending, however.

    Episode 379: 'Buffet Infinity' (2026)

    One of horror’s most dependable constants are Stephen King adaptations. The latest one takes a book that mixes one of the author’s greatest strengths. King is great at mixing grounded scares with supernatural horror. Which is why the team announced to work on Desperation is interesting. Plus, another clever marketing stunt from Neon. We have not discussed the Paramount-WB merger. And for good reason. We do not know enough about it and we kinda don’t give a shit. But there is some interesting news to come out of it. Apparently with the rights for A Nightmare on Elm Street all over the place, both studios are scrambling to get a new movie out first. How sweet, fresh meat. Buffet Infinity gets off to one of the strongest starts we have seen for any movie possibly ever. It is clever, funny, creepy, and mysterious. The indie horror is a mix of found footage and sketch comedy that manages to be familiar and unique at the same time. Through the first act, it seemed like we had found something really special. The film then proceeded to take one of the greatest nose dives we have ever seen. It becomes completely derailed and goes from being about two warring restaurants to just a bunch of unexplained nonsense. Nothing makes sense and it is clear that an ending was never penned for this mess. Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.

    Episode 378: 'The Hunger' (1983)

    Following last’s week review, Ice Cream Man became a huge talking point on the internet. At the time of recording, the use of AI had not been revealed. And though we thought the movie should be avoided in theaters, we also thought it was worth streaming. Our opinions have not changed, but we do follow it to discuss Eli Roth’s latest release. This leads into a discussion about Touch Grass. The upcoming movie is an AI-generated horror movie. Unsurprisingly, this has upset a good amount of people But how does it tie into the next V/H/S release? Plus another remake of a 1980s “classic”. The Hunger from 1983 is one of the most unique movies we have ever covered on our humble little podcast. On the surface, there does not seem to be anything outstanding about it. It is a tale about a vampire grappling with immortality and lost loves. Watching the movie is a whole other matter. There is not much to the story-at least anything that is there will require a lot of guesswork and filling in the gaps by the viewer. But it looks incredible. The Hunger clearly influenced the music videos and erotic thrillers that would come to dominate the 80s. We discuss its legacy and why it is not talked about more..

    Episode 377" 'Ice Cream Man' (2026)

    It is surprising how little people talk about Robocop. When it first came out it was amazing. The character was awesome, the movie was great, and the action was second to none. As is usually the case, the sequels worsened and the recent remake was not so great. Still, it is surprising to see how the property has all but disappeared. The days of telling a singular story in one movie seem to be gone. Weapons was one of our favorite movies from last year. That being said, we really were not clamoring for more. Unsurprisingly, we are lukewarm on news of the upcoming Gladys prequel. There is still a very good chance that it will be just as great as the source material, but we aren’t stoked for it. Ice Cream Man is the latest release from Eli Roth. It is wacky, over the top, and very very bloody. It is the most Eli Rothiest movie ever. It is something of a passion project where Roth did every crazy thing he has ever wanted to do. The end result is a very silly and entertaining watch. We also try to figure out what Roth’s place in horror is. He definitely is not up there with the greats like Carpenter and Romero, but he has also left behind an impressive body of work. Is it enough to consider him an icon or is he just a name people know? Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.

    Episode 376: 'Bowels of Hell' (2026)

    It has been a long time since we have talked about the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But this week we have a lot to talk about. And it is more than just the Doomsday trailer and the upcoming Spider-Man movie. On the plus side, it seems like the MCU may be closer to the darker Marvel that people have dreamed about for years. That being said, we also heard that with the last Doctor Strange movie and The New Mutants. Only time will tell, but we are interested in what is happening. We have nothing against toilet humor and low hanging fruit. Troma is responsible for some of our favorite movies. And just generally speaking it is good to have a palette cleanser. Not every movie can be high art or a thrill a minute slasher. Bowels of Hell is a one joke movie. Literally. Every single gag in the Brazilian import is centered around shit. This is not the problem, however. It actually builds well to a pretty cool ending. But the ride there is an arduous one. In between the comedy are long stretches of exposition that fail deliver the message the movie seems to be trying to make. Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.

    Episode 375: 'Rubberhead' (2026)

    It is impossible to have a horror podcast and not talk about ‘Friday the 13th’ and ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’. And most of our time has been spent wondering how there has not been a new entry in either of the fan favorite franchises for decades. We finally have a little bit of news on both of them. We also talk about the surprising success of Widow’s Bay. If you take a 10,000 foot view of Rubberhead: The Life and Monsters of Steve Johnson, you will think you know exactly what it is about. And you would not be completely wrong. The documentary surprised us by being one of the most emotional and information watches we have ever had. If you grew up as a horror fan in the 1980s or early 90s, chances are you have seen Johnson’s work. He invented Slimer, worked on ‘Species’, created the arms for Doctor Octopus in ‘Spider-Man 2’, and worked on the still outstanding special effects for ‘An American Werewolf in London’. And that is just the very tip of the iceberg. But along with being an incredible genius, he is also incredibly self-destructive. This makes Rubberhead one of the most frustrating watches of the year. His work is amazing, but he also knows what is shortcomings are and has no interest in fixing them. Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.

    Episode 374: Special Edition 'Evil Dead Burn' (2026)

    SPOILER ALERT!!! THE EPISODE CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS FOR ‘EVIL DEAD BURN’ The ‘Evil Dead’ franchise means a lot to us. It has touched us on a personal level, it has earned its place in horror history, and it is one of the few franchises in Hollywood to never release a bad installment. We talk about whether ‘Evil Dead Burn’ continues the trend and why it will probably always be the most polarizing entry in the series. A few weeks back we talked about how ‘Evil Dead Burn’ had to be trimmed in order to get an ‘R’ rating. We wondered how bad it could have been and even tried to figure out what extreme horror even means today. As it turns out, ‘Evil Dead Burn’ is incredibly graphic. Was it too much or perfect for an ‘Evil Dead’ movie? There has been lots of talk about how ‘Evil Dead Burn’ does not fit into the franchise. (This seems to be a conversation whenever a new 'Evil Dead film releases.) There is definitely nothing else like it in the series. We also compare it to another movie that was released this year and wonder which was the better ‘Evil Dead’ movie. Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.

    Episode 373: 'Mockbuster' (2026)

    We have spent years talking about how important The Blair Witch Project is. We discuss the pros and cons of the latest reimagining of the iconic found footage classic. And we are definitely interested. Plus, the latest internet horror fad that Hollywood wants to adapt into a movie. And while it does seem a little silly to us, they do have a strong director attached to it. The Asylum has been putting out grade-A quality B movies for a long time. Sharknado may be their most well-known, but their specialty are mockbusters like Tomb Invader and Top Gunner. We could not wait to take a look at their inner workings. Mockbuster does much more than that. Sure, there is plenty of footage from The Asylum library. And yes, all of it is amazing. The interviews with the people at the top of the company are also great. They know the score and are funny, entertaining, and informative. But it is the documentary’s subject that is the beating heart of the film. Anthony Frith is one of the most charming people we have ever seen and we enjoyed watching his journey. Mockbuster ended up being an unexpected feel-good watch thanks to Frith and all of the incredibly supportive people featured. On top of all that, we get to see how a movie from The Asylum gets made!
