    THE FACULTY is Kinda Better Than SCREAM to Be Honest! || CAME GANG

    The Faculty was what Kevin Williamson cooked up after Scream came out and lit a new fire under the horror genre in the 90’s. He was on an absolute tear during this period, working on a string of teen horror and thriller movies, including I Know What You Did Last Summer and Teaching Mrs. Tingle, that would go on to become staples of late-90s nostalgia. but the faculty might be where everything came together and clicked the most. this one takes the self-aware teen horror formula that made Scream such a phenomenon and gives it a sci-fi makeover, bringing us a whole new take on the classic alien invasion and body snatcher movies. this time, Williamson teamed up with Robert Rodriguez in the director’s chair, assembling an absolutely stacked cast of familiar 90’s faces for one of the most underrated sci-fi horror movies of the decade. this movie kinda kicks Scream’s ass in a lot of ways. the boiis are gonna break it all down as we watch this 1998 cult classic and wind down another October season of horror movies, questionable decisions, and completely unnecessary cinematic analysis. what happens when the T-1000 from Terminator 2 becomes your high school gym coach in an episode of The X-Files that your didn’t realize ever existed? x trust no one x c a x m e The Faculty is a 1998 American science fiction horror film directed and edited by Robert Rodriguez with a screenplay by Kevin Williamson, about a group of high school students who begin to suspect that their teachers are being replaced by extraterrestrials. It stars Jordana Brewster in her film debut, Clea DuVall, Laura Harris, Josh Hartnett, Shawn Hatosy, Famke Janssen, Piper Laurie, Bebe Neuwirth, Robert Patrick, Usher Raymond, Jon Stewart, and Elijah Wood. The film was theatrically released on December 25, 1998, by Miramax Films. It grossed $63.2 million and has developed a cult following since its release. - Wiki #PODCAST #HORROR #MOVIE This is a public episode.

    TROLL 2 is Like The Room but With Every Character Played by Tommy Wiseau || CAME GANG

    the boiis are drive-by shooting us with their October vibes all month long with a block of some of the greatest movies to watch during the Halloween season, and they’re starting with one of the most infamous horror sequels of the 90s. TROLL 2 was unleashed upon an unsuspecting world in 1990 and completely revolutionized the sacred art of the unofficial Italian sequel for the masses. filmed in the tiny mormon town of Morgan, Utah, with a cast largely made up of inexperienced actors, Troll 2 was an Italian production being shot in America by director Claudio Fragasso and his wife/co-writer Rossella Drudi. according to members of the cast, the language barrier only made an already completely insane production even more confusing. Fragasso already had several Italian films under his belt, while Drudi was about to see one of her first screenplays turned into an American feature film. and Italian filmmakers of the era had already mastered the ancient art of making sequels to successful American films. there was an Italian Terminator II before James Cameron even got around to making T2, and perhaps the most famous example is Lucio Fulci’s Zombi 2 — sold as the sequel to Dawn of the Dead, which had been released as Zombi in Italy. so naturally, the next logical step was making Troll 2, a movie with absolutely no connection to Troll and, more importantly, no trolls in it at all!? the movie was mostly forgotten for years before eventually being resurrected as one of the greatest bad-movie cult classics ever made, thanks to an unforgettable plot, completely alien performances and dialogue that sounds like it was transmitted to earth from another dimension. the CAME GANG twins both saw this thing as kids and then spent years afterward trying to figure out what the hell it was they had watched. because Troll 2 really does feel like a fever dream you vaguely remember seeing once as a child. surely that wasn’t a real movie. think The Room, except there’s no Tommy Wiseau and it’s actually entertaining in ways The Room never could’ve been. that movie’s script is mostly garbage and the entire reason to watch it is Tommy Wiseau being such an inexplicable human enigma that he appears completely alien to the world around him. Troll 2 is an entire movie populated by Tommy Wiseaus. He literally plays every single character in the cast and it’s amazing. x YOU CAN’T PISS ON HOSPITALITY x c a x m e Troll 2 (or Goblins) is a 1990 Italian independent fantasy horror film written and directed by Claudio Fragasso under the pseudonym Drake Floyd. It stars Michael Stephenson, George Hardy, Connie McFarland, and Jason Wright. The plot follows Joshua Waits as he tries to save his family after the spirit of his deceased grandfather warns him that the town of Nilbog, where the family is spending their vacation, is inhabited by goblins who turn people into plant matter to eat them. Although produced under the original title Goblins, American distributors marketed it as a sequel to the 1986 horror film Troll. However, the films are unrelated and Troll 2 features goblins rather than trolls. The film was produced by Filmirage; development was rife with difficulties, largely due to the language barrier between the Italian-speaking crew and English-speaking cast, and producer Joe D’Amato’s approach to low-budget filmmaking. It was released on October 12, 1990, by Epic Productions in the United States. Troll 2 received a near-universal negative reception and many have considered it to be one of the worst films of all time. In subsequent years, the film has gained a cult following. Though it was generally viewed as a poorly made horror film, the filmmakers stated that it was “always intended to be a comic film.” Stephenson later directed the critically acclaimed 2009 documentary Best Worst Movie about the production and subsequent popularity of Troll 2. - Wiki #PODCAST #HORROR #MOVIE This is a public episode.

    Chucky Has ZERO Loyalty to the Garbage Man Who Saved His Life in CHILD'S PLAY 3 || CAME GANG

    the gang has finally sat down to revisit what might just be the most underrated and underappreciated entry in the killer doll extended universe: child’s play 3. this movie was rushed into production almost immediately after child’s play 2 opened, and instead of giving us the obvious sequel — Charles on campus, where Andy heads off to college while Chucky sneaks around murdering young adults fueled by booze, drugs, and bad decisions — Don Mancini decided to send our boy Andy to military school. Don Mancini clearly hated children and wanted to punish Andy Barkley. First he takes away his mom after the last movie, then Kyle is mysteriously gone before this one even starts. it’s raining shid on Andy Barkley. to make matters worse, the film became the center of a real-world controversy after two children murdered a friend in the U.K., with media coverage focusing on claims that the crime had been influenced by child’s play 3. the case sparked years of debate over horror movies and media violence. fun fact: this was the very first child’s play movie the gang ever saw. c a x m e Child’s Play 3 is a 1991 American supernatural slasher film written by Don Mancini and directed by Jack Bender. Brad Dourif reprises his role as Chucky while new cast members include Justin Whalin, Perrey Reeves, and Jeremy Sylvers. It serves as a sequel to Child’s Play 2 (1990) and the third installment in the Child’s Play franchise. It was executive-produced by David Kirschner, who produced the first two Child’s Play films. Although released only nine months after Child’s Play 2, the story takes place eight years following the events of that film, and one month before the events of Bride of Chucky (which was made seven years later). The film follows Andy Barclay (Whalin) now 16, enrolling at Kent Military School. Andy is unknowingly followed by a revived Chucky (Dourif), who sets his sight on a younger kid cadet Ronald Tyler (Sylvers). Released on August 30, 1991, in the United States by Universal Pictures, Child’s Play 3 received generally negative reviews from critics and grossed $20.5 million worldwide against a budget of $13 million, being the lowest-grossing film in the series. The film became notorious in the United Kingdom when it was suggested it might have inspired the real-life murder of a British child, James Bulger, suggestions rejected by officers investigating the case. - Wiki #PODCAST #COMEDY #HORROR #MOVIE This is a public episode.

    Is Frankie Palmeri the G.G. Allin of MySpace Metalcore? | EMMURE Tier List || CAME GANG

    You know it’s all a CAME that we play back and forth!” - Franki Pall Mall the boiis are back on their reunion tour!! x 𐕣 CAME GANG 𐕣 is filmed before a live streaming audience x When Mac discovered Emmure for the first time, his head turned around 360 degrees, his eyes began shining out a bright white light, and he began pulsating while foaming at the mouth. He never looked back, but Zach would later receive the most cursed introduction to the band of all time. You wont want to miss the full story only over at the xCGx studios streaming all the way from the planet earth. The Band formed in 2003 by a group of dudes from Queens and Connecticut who met online, Emmure built their identity on raw energy, breakdown-heavy riffs, and an intentionally over-the-top attitude. led by Frankie Palmeri — the only constant member. This episode serves as a live documentation of Zach’s long journey to piece together Frankie’s entire life story based solely on the lyrics — no outside context allowed. eventually, Zach found himself embracing the Limp Bizkit-coded era of the band’s evolution on Felony, which dropped like a nuclear event across the internet and immediately split the fanbase in half. from there, the band got even weirder, somehow evolving into a haunted alien boombox concept arc — basically a sequel to KAZAAM, starring Frankie himself reprising the role as the rapping genie. Would you believe me if I told you that not even nintendocore-adjacent territory is off limits? x SLAVE TO THE CAME x c a x m e Emmure formed in 2003 out of a mix of Queens and Connecticut kids who met online, and from the jump they built their identity around raw energy, breakdown-heavy songwriting, and an intentionally abrasive attitude. Led entirely by vocalist Frankie Palmeri—the only constant member—the band carved out a lane that blended metalcore and deathcore with obvious nu-metal influence, especially in groove, repetition, and vocal cadence. Their early releases felt chaotic and unfinished to some, but that was part of the appeal: Emmure prioritized impact over polish, quickly gaining a loyal fanbase while dividing the broader scene . Over time, the band evolved from raw, confrontational shock value into a more structured and self-aware act, though controversy and instability were constant—lineup changes, public backlash, and Frankie’s outspoken persona kept them in the spotlight as much as the music did. Albums like Felony marked a turning point toward more groove-driven, hook-based writing, while later releases showed a shift away from pure provocation toward reflection and burnout. Despite never becoming mainstream-level successful, Emmure has remained a durable, mid-tier force in heavy music, surviving through touring, reinvention, and a refusal to conform—making them less a traditional band and more an ongoing extension of Frankie Palmeri’s personality. - Wiki #PODCAST #MUSIC #COMEDY This is a public episode.

    How Did Jason Shave His Head UNLESS He Did It Using That Machete? In Friday the 13th 3-D!! || CAME GANG

    you just can’t keep this man down. the very next year after friday the 13th part 2 dropped, Steve Miner was right back in the director’s chair doing it all over again — but this time in a whole other dimension. taking place immediately after the events of the second film, Jason Voorhees is right back to work on his crime spree. the 3-D movie craze that had packed theaters years earlier was the perfect gimmick to drag even more people back to camp crystal lake. by this point Paramount Pictures was already embarrassed enough by these movies, so the writer for part three was basically handed two mission objectives: 1. take that goofy-ass sack off his head and give him a more iconic look 2. kill him no more franchise after this one. …or at least that was the plan. but we all know this big dumb dog will hunt! you can’t even stop him from eating that kibble. trying would almost seem inhumane. it’s like not letting a cheetah run. 🔪 𐕣 CAME GANG 𐕣 breaks down the birth of hockey mask Jason and the moment the franchise accidentally created the most iconic horror character. x JOIN THE GANG x MARK OUR WORDS WE’RE TAKING OVER THE WORLD just like that a day to remember song said. c a x m e Friday the 13th Part III is a 1982 American slasher film directed by Steve Miner, produced by Frank Mancuso Jr. It is the sequel to Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) and the third installment in the Friday the 13th franchise. Set directly after the events of the previous film, the plot follows Chris Higgins, a teenage girl (Dana Kimmell), and her friends who go on a trip to a homestead near Crystal Lake where an injured Jason Voorhees (Richard Brooker) has taken refuge until re-emerging for another killing spree. The film marks the first appearance of Jason’s signature hockey mask, which has since become a trademark of both the character and the franchise, as well as an icon in American cinema and the horror genre. The original storyline was supposed to focus on a post-traumatic Ginny Field from the prior installment. However, this concept was abandoned when actress Amy Steel declined to reprise her role. Martin Kitrosser, a script supervisor on the previous two films, co-wrote the screenplay with Carol Watson. Unlike the previous two installments, Friday the 13th Part III was filmed in California rather than the east coast. Paramount shot the film in 3-D, a choice suggested by Martin Sadoff, an associate of producer Frank Mancuso Jr. The 3-D technology used in the film complicated the shooting process, which lasted several months in the spring of 1982. - Wiki #PODCAST #COMEDY #HORROR #MOVIE This is a public episode.

    Michael Myers Gets Nailed to a Cross In HALLOWEEN: RESURRECTION!! || CAME GANG

    the gang is going underground one last time to finish a promise made to an old friend. the first time zach ever got drunk was recorded and released to the public during the 3 ninjas: high noon at mega mountain episode back in the day. but even before that historic collapse, the boys once tried — and failed — to record a commentary for the most hated entry in the halloween franchise. the finished edit lived on an old laptop whose hard drive died before it could ever be exported. so revisiting it as the second feature for the first-ever drunken commentary was a no-brainer. ``and then somehow that version got deleted too — too incoherent, too cursed to survive. basically, this movie is haunted. even this version had to be rebuilt from a backup recording. listen to the podcast that god doesn’t want you to hear! Michael Myers returned in 2002, and this was the first time the gang saw a halloween movie in theaters. they’ve got the inside scoop on just how much of a letdown that night really was. they still wake up screaming. this movie is about how michael myers was beaten for our sins, crucified by the romans, and resurrected — and somehow Mel Gibson still forgot to include a single line about the actual teachings. the passion of the shape. 🎃 + CG + dives into Halloween: Resurrection—early-2000s reality-tv, slasher, horror movie that no one wanted and see once and for all what ends up happening when you never kill your franchise mascot. c a x m e Halloween: Resurrection is a 2002 American slasher film directed by Rick Rosenthal from a screenplay written by Larry Brand and Sean Hood. It is the sequel to Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later (1998) and the eighth installment of the Halloween franchise. It stars Busta Rhymes, Bianca Kajlich, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Ryan Merriman, Sean Patrick Thomas, Tyra Banks, and Jamie Lee Curtis, with Brad Loree as Michael Myers. This was the final installment of the H20 timeline of the Halloween franchise, which had just been rebooted with the previous film in 1998, before it was rebooted again in 2007 with a remake and again in 2018. The film follows Myers continuing his murderous rampage in his hometown of Haddonfield when his childhood house is used for a live internet horror show. Halloween: Resurrection was released on July 12, 2002, and was critically panned, with critics considering it an unnecessary sequel to Halloween H20 and deeming it to be one of the worst films in the Halloween franchise. Although the film is technically a box office success, grossing $37.6 million worldwide against a $15 million budget, it was considered an underperformance at the box office, in contrast to its predecessor earning $75 million. The next film in the franchise was a 2007 remake of the 1978 film directed by Rob Zombie. - Wiki #PODCAST #COMEDY #HORROR #MOVIE This is a public episode.

    Tater Sack Jason's Unhinged Reaction to Not Making the Hockey Team in FRIDAY THE 13TH 2 || 𐕣 CAME GANG 𐕣

    Friday the 13th came out and shocked an audience hungry for more masked, knife-wielding murderers tied to spooky-sounding american holidays — but everything we now know about the beloved 9-iq mangled man-child of the franchise really starts here, with part 2. 𐕣CG𐕣 is celebrating the 13th even though the country is burning and we’re gonna at least pretend we don’t care and feel fine. why? because r.e.m said we’re supposed to. this is the one where Jason Voorhees wears the pillowcase. the hockey mask era doesn’t begin until part 3 — Shelly hadn’t introduced him to the sport yet — so he had to start somewhere. set five years after the events of the original, Jason tracks down the sole survivor of his mother’s murder spree: Alice. and let’s be honest — she never had a chance. she was marked for sequel death the moment she survived the first film. it became the blueprint. a lot of what we now consider standard slasher sequel formula — the stalking, the body count escalation, the expanded myth — starts right here in Friday the 13th part 2. does it still hold up as one of the most important 80s slasher sequels ever made? c a x m e Friday the 13th Part 2 is a 1981 American slasher film produced and directed by Steve Miner in his directorial debut, and written by Ron Kurz. Taking place five years after the first film, Part 2 follows a similar premise, with an unknown stalker killing a group of camp counselors at a training camp near Crystal Lake. The film marks the debut of Jason Voorhees as the series’ main antagonist. Originally, Friday the 13th Part 2 was intended to be an anthology film based on the Friday the 13th superstition. However, after the popularity of the original film’s surprise ending, the filmmakers opted to continue the story and mythology surrounding Camp Crystal Lake, a trend that would be repeated in every film in the franchise. - Wiki #PODCAST #COMEDY #HORROR #MOVIE This is a public episode.
