The Cellar Dwellers

Christian Perez and Colby McHugh

Christian and Colby, two horror film nerds, go on a cinematic journey of grotesque proportions. Each episode finds them trudging through the proverbial swamp of extreme cinema, trying their damndest to contextualize it, and determine how much the average moviegoer would despise it.

    Episode 60 - The Town of Cronenberg pt.6 - DOUBLE FEATURE

    Welcome back to the Town of Cronenberg! I have returned to the creepy mind of not ONLY David Cronenberg, but also his son, Brandon Cronenberg. We've got ourselves a bit of a double episode here! With Crimes of the Future from last year and Infinity Pool from this year, it made sense to come back to the first true series Cellar Dwellers ever did! Gotta say, it felt good being back in the saddle, even if that saddle is some weird fleshy technology that doesn't make any sense. Glad you're here, ya freaks!

    Episode 59 - Yellowjackets feat. Brittnee Weiland

    Welcome back to the Cellar! For this episode, Brittnee Weiland joins again to discuss the fantastic television show, YELLOWJACKETS! Yes, this show is on Showtime, and we're sorry about that, BUT the show was just too good to pass up. Plus, we've never tackled a television program before here on the Cellar Dwellers podcast, so it just made sense! Thanks for listening, ya freaks!

    Episode 53 - The Town of Cronenberg pt. 4 - EASTERN PROMISES

    Fan of bathhouses? Not for long! This week, the Dwellers jump right back into their five part series on David Cronenbgerg with 2007's Eastern Promises, the Viggo Mortensen-starring Russian mafia flick. This is an intense, well-acted film that the Dwellers were immensely excited to jump back into, and we think you'll enjoy it too! (Assuming you enjoy seeing a butt ass naked Viggo fighting off assassins in a bathhouse)
