    533 - Saw 4 (2007) Guest: Matt Banever

    The Saw franchise is officially getting more complicated, more gruesome, and somehow even more confusing! Alec and returning guest Matt Banever dive into Saw IV (2007) to dissect Jigsaw’s questionable life choices, Detective Riggs’ desperate rescue mission, and a timeline that practically requires a detective of its own.We’re talking stomach-churning traps, Detective Strahm stealing every scene, Jigsaw’s tragic backstory, and a finale packed with twists that will leave you asking, “Wait… WHEN is this happening?!” Will Alec survive his first watch-through of the franchise, or will Matt have to hold his hand through another convoluted Jigsaw master plan? Tune in for the classic dark humor, ridiculous observations, and plenty of reasons to never trust a suspicious videotape.

    532 - Flesheater (1988) Guest: Joe Testa

    This week on Wheel of Horror, Alec and returning guest Joe Testa dig up the gloriously gory, gloriously ridiculous Flesh Eater (1988)! Directed by and starring Bill Hinzman, the legendary cemetery zombie from Night of the Living Dead, this low-budget Halloween nightmare unleashes a horde of undead maniacs on unsuspecting partygoers. We’re talking outrageous practical effects, hilariously terrible acting, gratuitous nudity, questionable filmmaking decisions, and a plot that basically boils down to zombies killing people for 90 minutes. Plus, we explore the bizarre history connecting Flesh Eater to George Romero’s zombie legacy, including Hinzman’s attempt to carve out his own piece of the undead pie. Is this forgotten VHS-era bloodbath a hidden zombie gem or just a shambling Night of the Living Dead knockoff? Grab your pumpkin beer, lock the doors, and join us as we find out!  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wheel.of.horror7?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@wheelofhorrorpodcast1802/videos Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wheel-of-horror/id1534102813 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3HnyAISG8Z8hvMFdSG60tE?si=9b785cf21c7f46a3 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wheel_of_horror/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/HorrorWheel

    Alec is joined by returning guests Joe Testa and Andy Danish to dive deeper into Crystal Lake, the Friday the 13th prequel series! The hippies have arrived, the drugs are flowing, the bodies are piling up, and Pamela Voorhees is getting closer to becoming the legendary killer we know and love. The crew breaks down the show's bold reimagining of the original Friday the 13th, its gruesome twists, creepy séances, trippy acid trips, and the increasingly fascinating descent of Pam into madness. Plus, they discuss the show's Easter eggs, character development, and all the little details that make this series such a love letter to the franchise. Will Crystal Lake stick the landing, or are we heading for a Voorhees-sized disaster? Tune in for all the horror, hot takes, and questionable decisions. Just don't take three tabs of acid before listening.

    529 - Saw 3 (2006) Guest: Matt Banever

    Who's ready for Round 3? We're back in Jigsaw's twisted world as Alec and returning Saw superfan Matt Banever dissect Saw III! This time, we're dealing with brain surgery in a filthy garage, a truly disgusting pig grinder, enough screaming to make your neighbors call the police, and traps that make Fear Factor look like a family picnic. We dive into Jigsaw's increasingly complicated master plan, Amanda's questionable apprenticeship, Jeff's very slow journey toward forgiveness, and the franchise's talent for making us ask, "How the hell did they build that?" Plus, we debate whether Jigsaw's rules make any sense and why this movie decided to kill off some of its most important characters. Grab your barf bucket, check your pulse, and remember: cherish your life… and maybe don't hire Amanda for home renovations.  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wheel.of.horror7?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@wheelofhorrorpodcast1802/videos Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wheel-of-horror/id1534102813 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3HnyAISG8Z8hvMFdSG60tE?si=9b785cf21c7f46a3 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wheel_of_horror/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/HorrorWheel

    527 - Book of Shadows - Blair Witch 2 (2000) Guest: Clint Switzer

    Is Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 actually an underrated horror sequel? Alec is joined by returning guest Clint Switzer to dive into Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 (2000), the wildly divisive sequel that dared to do almost everything differently from the original. Instead of recreating the found-footage phenomenon, director Joe Berlinger delivered a bizarre, meta psychological horror movie about perception, reality, true crime, and a group of people who may—or may not—be losing their minds. Alec and Clint break down the movie's studio interference, confusing timeline, alternate realities, controversial ending, missing “Book of Shadows,” gruesome reshoots, and the legendary early-2000s soundtrack featuring Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, P.O.D., and more. They also discuss why the movie might actually work better in retrospect, whether a director's cut could save it, the impossible cultural impact of the original Blair Witch Project, and why modern technology may have made that kind of horror impossible to recreate. Is Blair Witch 2 a misunderstood cult classic, a fascinating mess, or just a movie that desperately needed a better edit?  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wheel.of.horror7?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@wheelofhorrorpodcast1802/videos Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wheel-of-horror/id1534102813 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3HnyAISG8Z8hvMFdSG60tE?si=9b785cf21c7f46a3 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wheel_of_horror/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/HorrorWheel
