    96. Lucio Fulci's The Beyond (1981)

    Charmingly outdated-by-1981-standards practical effects, wild borrowings from the best of recent and distant masterpieces of influence, and maybe a pinch of the ol' booger sugar informed this revered Italian director's take on the supernatural something set in 1980 New Orleans for reasons not fathomable, but from a fathomableness of The Beyond! That's right, the year was 2024, the medium was a podcast, and the rss feed was Loathsome Things: A podcast for horror movie fans who don't expect too much from their podcasts!

    95. David Moreau's MadS (2024)

    Welcome to the Neo-French Extremity? New French Post-Extremity? Who can say? It's a really rad zombie movie about youthful, drug-fueled sex and paranoia, poor parenting, and a very strange relationship with authority... or is it? Enter one of the top 5 greatest zombie movies of all time. Possibly THE greatest? I don't know. It's Loathsome Things: a high production value storytelling podcast known to cause constipation and diarrhea in child and dogs under 10 years of age.

    94. Brian De Palma's Sisters (1972)

    Not actually about Brian De Palma's female siblings, this film is instead about Brian De Palma weird, hazy, perhaps deeply subconscious feelings about white women, their role in society, their capabilities as functional humans, and the role that black men play in his feelings. Also, it's a Hitchcockian something-or-other in a decidedly pre-masterpiece phase of Brian's directorial development. Call it De Palchcockian. Anyway, it's actually a pretty enjoyable flick most of the time, and warms our very specific cockles due to its precursoriness to Basket Case, a film especially beloved by Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast you can turn to for sound financial and lifestyle expertise.

    93. Benjamin Barfoot's Daddy's Head (2024)

    Is it folk horror? Is it Babadookie? Is it sci-fi? We're not really sure from whence this sub-step monster was spawned, but we know we mostly liked it with a few quabbles. How long can we spend discussing the quabbles you ask? Well, you're in luck, because you're about to find out while listening to this thoughtful and un-biased think piece about the 2024 horror film Daddy's Head nowhere else but here on Loathsome Things: the best podcast to listen to while going to sleep if you're an idiot.

    92. Pascal Laugier's Martyrs (2008)

    New? Not so much. French? Absolue! Extremity? Not for long. Join us as we explore the surprising twists and turns of this horror masterpiece directed by a real piece of work. That's right, it's Pascal Laugier's 2008 masterpiece: Martyrs. Are we all victims, monsters, or dancers? You be the judge, then witness your own guilt... or something. Bourgeoisie!

    91. Osgood Perkins' Longlegs (2024)

    Do we mention Nicolas Cage? Did we find out that the Devil makes a variety of cameos in this movie before we recorded this episode? Are we more giddy with movie-watching glee than we are actually making a podcast? Find out the answers in this Satanic episode of Loathsome Things: the Horror Movie Podcast your mom wouldn't let you listen to, but then you secretly did and who knows what will happen because of it.

    90. Sean King O'Grady's We Need to Do Something (2021)

    We watched a cool little indie flick about a family stuck in their bathroom during an apocalypse, and somewhere along the way we lost the full entirety of our cool. Was it before we even started recording? You tell us after listening to this high-quality film review featuring bleeding-edge audio editing and extremely professional vocal skills. It's Loathsome Things: The Horror Movie Podcast you mistakenly chose as the only podcast you could bring with you to a desert island!

    89. Stanley Kubrick's The Shining (1980)

    Listen as two people with strong feelings about a movie struggle to discuss said movie. It's Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie for morons and the people willing to forgive them enough to listen to them.
