    Ep. 136: Freddy vs. Jason (2003)

    All good things must to come to an end...and apparently the mediocre ones too. They've been away from their children for far too long.  Happy Halloween, Howlers! This week, Matt and Cody return to the pod to discuss the movie that brought them together in the first place. The boys talk homophobic slurs, midnight movies cures, and where and when they weres...when first experiencing this film in the wild. Not to mention: the legacy of Robert Englund, Ronny Who Could Do It Better, the importance of balance, and who they were really rooting for all along. Most importantly, they say goodbye to Night Howls and this incredible experience that brought so many of you into their lives. It's a finale for many but mainly for them and they can't thank you enough for joining on this ride.  Socials: @nighthowlspod

    Ep. 135: The Howlers '24

    It's the end of the world as we know it...and year 3 apparently... This week, Matt and Cody unwrap their favorite episode of the year: The Howlers! The boys talk all about this year in horror including the tops and bottoms of their year-end lists, trends of the year in the genre, and what they hope to take into 2025. Then, it's time for the Awards as they give out such iconic categories as: Barclay's Bronze Baby Bonnet, Sally Hardesty Leap Through a Window, Doomsayer of the Year, Howler's Choice, Fred Gwynne Veteran Character Actor and most contentiously (for some reason) Outstanding Animal. It's their chance to celebrate the films and performances of the year and you for coming along on the journey! Photos of the nominees can be found on their socials below if you prefer to follow along visually. Happy Howlidays! Thanks for listening! Socials: https://linktr.ee/nighthowlspod

    Ep. 134: Black Christmas (1974)

    Don we now our SLAY apparel! (A green turtleneck)  This week, Cody and Matt celebrate the holidays with this proto-slasher pioneer! They discuss the political and social atmosphere that inspired the film's core narrative, how this movie inspired the genre moving forward, and the art direction that brings the holiday spirit to life. They also praise Bob Clark for hitting the mark, Margot Kidder for being the booziest babysitter, and Marian Waldman for gifting us all with a veteran character performance that will last an eternity. "B" might be for booze but it's all "A's" in our book.  Thanks for listening and Happy Howlidays! Socials: https://linktr.ee/nighthowlspod

    Ep. 133: Longlegs (2024)

    Daddy...those gross guys are back again... This week, Matt and Cody and Anthony and Oz and Ruby and Ruth and Harker and Agent...uhhh Carter take a polaroid of the year in Horror by concluding their 2024 run with the GOAT (worshipping) Longlegs! The boys talk about marketing and expectations, what to expect when you release the Cage, and how prevalent the devil is in those details. They also go off on where the plot falls, the dolls under the halls, and you guessed it, contaminated balls.  Consider this their Thanksgiving episode and they brought a turkey you won't soon forget.

    Ep. 132: Oddity (2024)

    You've heard of a wooden performance but this is ridiculous.  This week, Cody and Matt begin renovations on their new Irish castle and discover one of this year's most overlooked hits! They discuss clever dialogue, effective narrative threads, and the fine art of weaving different types of horror together cohesively. On top of all that, the boys also discuss what they claim to be some of the greatest scares of the year while debating the usefulness of an Irish hole. That's... not what it sounds like. Pack up your wooden man and head for the hills because things are about to get odd! Thanks for listening!

    Ep. 131: MadS (2024)

    Overtake! Overtake! This week, Matt and Cody are in the calm before the storm and jumping into the bed of a truck towards the end of the world! The boys talk all about "oners", drug laden youths, and the contagion subgenre, while also having a field day with nosy neighbors, impossible devices, cool cars, and even find time to break out their maybe definitely not French accents. Don't worry, they go all out over theories of the outbreak, the terror of being interrupted at karaoke, and the origins of Al, famously of the Canal. No paprika was harmed during the making of this episode...THEY ASSUME! Thanks for listening! Socials: https://linktr.ee/nighthowlspod

    Ep. 130: I Saw The TV Glow (2024)

    Help them! Help them! They're still podcasting! This week, Cody and Matt enter the Midnight Realm and go toe-to-toe with Mr. Melancholy over the latest feature film from director Jane Shoenbrun. They discuss the relationship between nostalgia and media, the dizzying perspective of alternate realities, and the benefit of queer and trans voices in the horror medium. The boys also spar over stylistic direction while trying to figure out which one of them is Marco and which is Polo. Don't sit too close to the screen, you'll mess up your eyes! Thanks for listening!

    Ep. 129: Night of the Demons (1988)

    "Happy Halloween, dear..." It's part two of the Night Howls annual Howl-o-ween Double Feature and these films are bringing double the night, double the demons, and double the howls. This week, Matt and Cody cover a staple of the 80's video nasties with Angela, Suzanne, and other character names the boys still can't get right. They talk all about the Goth Glam of Angela and the lack thereof for the other characters. But it's not all bad, they have a lot to say about grosteque monster effects, deadly places to boink, next-level spooky atmosphere, homages to other classics, and one of the most shocking last-minute Fred Gwynne wins ever covered.  Give us a hand or at least an ear. It's time to celebrate the most wonderful time of year! Thanks for listening! Socials: https://linktr.ee/nighthowlspod
