    V/H/S Mixtape (2026)

    🎬 V/H/S Mixtape (2026) | Horror Review & Discussion | Cast Of The Pod The PodPeople have been asking us to dive into the V/H/S franchise, and we're finally loading up the tape! Josh and Deb are joined by Cantu to break down V/H/S Mixtape, the 2026 horror anthology featuring twisted stories where music and sound become sources of terror. But does this mixtape deliver a collection of killer segments, or does the whole thing fall apart when you put the pieces together? We kick things off with “Dance Dance Dance,” a creepy puppet-filled nightmare that gets us talking about practical effects, Jim Henson's Creature Shop, killer puppets, and the very important legal distinction between a puppet, a Muppet, and THE Muppets. Apparently, even imaginary creatures can't escape a good argument! Then we enter the terrifying world of “Heartbeat,” where urban explorers discover that absolute silence might be much more horrifying than anything lurking in the dark. We dig into sound deprivation, the psychology of isolation, and how quickly things can go catastrophically wrong when you ignore a warning sign. We also discuss the anthology's other bizarre musical nightmares, including the strange sounds, supernatural forces, and creative ideas that make this collection such an unusual ride. And, of course, we have to talk about GWAR. We respect the artistry, the stage show, and the legacy, but did the GWAR segments actually help hold this anthology together? Or did all that green goo distract from the individual stories? Spoiler alert: GOO AIN'T GLUE! Along the way, our discussion takes a few classic Cast Of The Pod detours: 🧸 The never-ending puppet-versus-Muppet debate. 🚌 Nostalgic San Antonio VIA bus stories, old-school date planning, and surviving on pocket change. 🌮 Tías, Tíos, Chads, and Karens at the family cookout. 🐇 Monty Python, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and the Spanish Inquisition showing up exactly when nobody expects them. 🎸 Horror, music, practical effects, strange cinematic choices, and the question of whether good individual segments can make a great anthology. It's a horror review, a debate, a nostalgia trip, and a conversation that goes completely off the rails — just the way you expect from Cast Of The Pod.

This time, we're digging into Clayface (2026), the latest dark corner of the DC universe. We're talking about the twisted world of Gotham's shape-shifting horror, the creepy possibilities, and whatever thoughts, opinions, and questionable tangents we just couldn't leave behind. Is this the kind of comic book horror we've been waiting for, or are we about to get our faces melted off for all the wrong reasons? Expect horror, humor, opinions, and the occasional disagreement. Because sometimes the main episode just doesn't have room for all the bullshiz! 🎧 Join the PodPeople for this extra serving of horror talk!

    WOLVES (2014)

    🐺 WOLVES (2014) – Jason Momoa, Werewolves & Chuckles Returns! | Cast Of The Pod You Have Been Warned! 💀🎙️ Jason Momoa, werewolves, questionable small-town behavior, and a whole lot of tangents. What more could you want from Cast Of The Pod? This week, Josh and Deb welcome back Chuckles to the Bomb Shelter Studios for a look at Wolves (2014), the supernatural horror-action film starring Jason Momoa. When a young man begins uncovering the truth about his mysterious past, he finds himself caught up in a world of werewolves, family secrets, and a town with plenty to hide. But does Wolves deliver the goods, or does it feel more like a supernatural TV series crammed into a feature-length movie? The gang breaks down the story, the werewolf transformations, the performances, the action, and a few moments that had us questioning what the filmmakers were thinking. Along the way, the conversation takes some classic Cast Of The Pod detours, including Jason Momoa's potential destiny as Lobo, memories of old-school cartoons, movie logic that doesn't quite add up, and the kind of nitpicking that only happens when friends get together to talk horror. And that's just the beginning! Chuckles also recounts his memorable journey to the studio, sending the conversation down some unexpected San Antonio streets. We get into pop culture, comedy, current events, and a few of the topics that remind you why no two episodes of this podcast ever go quite the same way. Plus, stick around for the bonus madness after the main discussion, including a special trip back to the days of Fang Baby! 🐺 ABOUT THE MOVIE Wolves stars Jason Momoa in a supernatural tale involving werewolves, family history, and a young man discovering who he really is. If you enjoy creature features, supernatural horror, werewolf movies, and discussions that go way beyond the film itself, this episode is for you. 🎧 FOLLOW & SUPPORT CAST OF THE POD Join the PodPeople, follow the show, and help keep the horror conversations going!

    ELI ROTH PRESENTS: DREAM EATER review

    CAST OF THE POD — ELI ROTH PRESENTS: DREAM EATER This week on Cast Of The Pod, Josh, Deb, and Cantu tackle Eli Roth Presents: Dream Eater. We dive into the story, the characters, the creatures, the mythology, and some of the strangest moments this movie has to offer. What exactly IS the Dream Eater? Does the movie make its mythology work? What about those final 15 minutes? And does having Eli Roth's name attached to the project change what audiences expect from the movie? We talk about all of it — including the moments that had us scratching our heads and wondering where this nightmare was going. ⚠️ SPOILERS AHEAD! And, of course, we put Dream Eater through the Calculator Of Doom. But we're not telling you the number here. You're going to have to listen to find out. 🎙️ CAST OF THE POD Horror movies, honest opinions, ridiculous tangents, and the occasional cinematic nightmare.
