    Episode 13: FACES OF DEATH (78)

    All good things come to an end…and even ridiculous shit like this podcast gotta go. Thanks for joining us on this trip, we appreciate you very much! The summer may be over, but the Ghoul adventure will continue very soon. For now, enjoy me complaining about this movie and Evan admitting that it is maybe not great, but he still has affection for it. Sorry if this is late, today has been a mess and I am stressing about so much stuff. Still, it is nice to know that you may listen to this, remember something gross from this film, and maybe feel as bad as I do. Solidarity I guess.

    Episode 12: THIS NIGHT I'LL POSSESS YOUR CORPSE w/ John Hades

    Look out everybody, it’s another guest episode! On this awesome episode we are joined by John Hades who you may know from DEVIL MASTER, SCARAB, or FINAL RESTING PLACE. This dude rips and really is making music in Philly that much more sick, BUT ALSO He is an OG fan of the Coffin Joe movies which is exactly what we needed for this episode! Thanks John for joining us, you were just a joy to have as a guest, and folks please go check out his music. If you have never seen a Coffin Joe movie, maybe check those out as well.

    Episode 11: WHO CAN KILL A CHILD w/ Mike Dikk

    HEY, IS SOMEBODY GONNA KILL THIS KID OR WHAT? Hey friends, welcome to prestigious episode 11 of GHOUL SUMMER, the podcast that explores bummer movies so you don’t have to, though you probably should. On this episode we discuss the possibly not so ghoulish Who Can Kill a Child? We are joined by the indominable Mike Dikk of THE FIRST SEVEN INCH CLUB, as well as KISSING CONTEST and just the internet generally speaking. Mike picked our 70s slice of exploitation after all kinds of shifting of films so if you watched the wrong thing in preparation of this episode, apologies. Thanks again to Mike for coming on, check out his podcast, it rules. Thanks to all of you for listening and please tell a friend. Ok Cool.

    Episode 10: BRIGADE OF DEATH (85) w/ Doug Tilley

    Ghoul summer, your very own brigade of bummer, returns with a brand new episode, this time with a guest! Doug Tilley joins us as our Canadian language consultant to discuss Brigade of Death, a French tour de force of offensive shit. We enjoyed this movie a lot but did feel kind of bad about that, maybe? or maybe not! Thanks so much for listening and please tell a friend to check it out!

    Ghoul Summer Episode 9: MONDO CANE-A DOG’S LIFE

    “And here we see two misplaced Philadelphia punk rockers of the 21st century, lost in the Pacific North West, participating in the ritualistic activity of voicing their inane opinions into the void known colloquially as ‘Podcasting'” Hey welcome to a knew episode of Ghoul Summer, on this our 9th tedious episode we discuss the “classic” pseudo-documentary Mondo Cane! Look, I usually like to keep our takes a bit of a surprise but really, you should know, we hated this movie. If you are tuning in looking forward to us waxing eloquent about the importance of this piece of trash, you have come to the wrong place. Sorry friends, it is what it is, but I wanted you to go in aware so you weren’t too surprised. Ok cool, thanks for listening.

    Ghoul Summer Episode 8: THE WAR GAME (66)

    Will the survivors envy the dead? It is episode 8 of GHOUL SUMMER and on this truly stark episode we are delving into the font for so much dbeat imagery. The War Game from 1966. Despite how dark and bleak this documentary is, we both generally enjoyed it and spend some time thinking about it’s reception both then and now. Thanks for listening, tell a friend, have a great day despite, you know, all of this.

    Ghoul Summer Episode 7: KAPO (60)

    This summer? It never ends. Welcome back to another riveting and ultimately futile episode of GHOUL SUMMER! On this excursion into the dark we discuss Kapo (60) directed but the director of  The Battle of Algiers , Gillo Pontecorvo. I am like 90% cure I mispronounced Pontecorvo’s name every time I said it so please forgive my ignorance. Despite knowing full well what the format of our show is I continue to fail to write notes in advance thus my “what I am getting into” is, as usual, lackluster. Otherwise? Sick episode. espit

    Ghoul Summer Episode 6: THE KILLING OF AMERICA

    There is a sickness poisoning America, and that sickness is known as Ghoul Summer. Sorry for the delay on this one folks, schedule has been a bit chaotic this week. Still, I managed to get our deep musings on films featuring REAL DEATH to you as soon as I could. Evan and I, predictably, do not see eye to eye on this one. We would love to know what you think, hit us up with your prudish or ghoulish takes on this film. Thanks for being here, talk soon.
