    My Bloody Valentine

    Well, after all, the first Valentine’s Day dance in 20 years has to be something special. Join PJ and Derek as they dig into the shadowy tunnels at the heart of George Mihalka’s My Bloody Valentine (1981). In this episode the guys explore the grim legend of Harry Warden, the miner who turned a holiday of romance into a ritual of revenge, and examine how the movie balances small-town drama, tragic backstory, and shocking brutality in ways that still resonate every Valentine’s Day. 📺 Follow us @thirdchannelpodcast on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, & YouTube and @thirdchannelpod on Bluesky, Twitter, & Letterboxd.

    FEB 6

    Candyman (2021)

    When it’s all done, they’ll tell his story, and Candyman will live… forever. This week PJ and Derek are joined by Producer Ty as they step back up to the mirror to summon Nia DaCosta’s Candyman (2021). In this episode they explore how the film expands the mythology beyond a single monster into a chorus of voices shaped by racial trauma and artistic obsession. Reimagining the urban legend for a new generation, while interrogating legacy, gentrification, and the way violence is remembered, repeated, and repackaged. 📺 Follow us @thirdchannelpodcast on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, & YouTube and @thirdchannelpod on Bluesky, Twitter, & Letterboxd.

  3. Candyman: Day of the Dead

    JAN 30

    Candyman: Day of the Dead

    You won't know true ecstasy until you have tasted death. Join PJ and Derek as they reach this franchises strangest crossroads in Turi Meyer’s straight-to-video finale, Candyman: Day of the Dead (1999). In this episode the guys debate the film trading gothic urban horror for sunlit Los Angeles streets and Día de los Muertos imagery, reworking the legend into a generational curse, the franchise fatigue that shaped this overlooked entry, and ask whether saying his name one more time was ever going to end any other way. 📺 Follow us @thirdchannelpodcast on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, & YouTube and @thirdchannelpod on Bluesky, Twitter, & Letterboxd.

  4. Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh

    JAN 23

    Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh

    I am the writing on the wall, the whisper in the classroom. Join PJ and Derek in The Big Easy as they inspect Bill Condon’s sorrow-soaked sequel to the urban legend that never dies in Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh (1995). In this episode the guys unpack how shifting the setting to New Orleans trades the cold brutality of Chicago for Southern Gothic excess, family curses, and a myth rooted in generational trauma that expands Daniel Robitaille’s backstory, reframing him as both monster and tragic figure. 📺 Follow us @thirdchannelpodcast on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, & YouTube and @thirdchannelpod on Bluesky, Twitter, & Letterboxd.

  5. Candyman

    JAN 16

    Candyman

    You were not content with the stories, so I was obliged to come. Join PJ and Derek as they step up to the mirror to summon Bernard Rose’s Candyman (1992). In this episode the guys discuss Tony Todd’s iconic performance, Philip Glass’s hypnotic score, and the film’s unsettling use of Chicago’s Cabrini-Green as both setting and symbol. Candyman transforms a slasher premise into something far more unsettling: a meditation on belief, violence, race, and the stories societies choose to repeat. 📺 Follow us @thirdchannelpodcast on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, & YouTube and @thirdchannelpod on Bluesky, Twitter, & Letterboxd.

  6. Dario Argento’s Inferno

    JAN 9

    Dario Argento’s Inferno

    Have you ever heard of The Three Sisters? Join PJ and Derek as they descend into the nightmare of color and sound that is Dario Argento’s Inferno (1980), the second chapter in the Three Mothers trilogy. In this episode the guys wade through flooded ballrooms, cursed apartments, and brutal eruptions of violence to unpack Argento’s uniquely dreamlike approach to horror, where reason dissolves and atmosphere reigns supreme in something that feels less like a movie and more like a curse. 📺 Follow us @thirdchannelpodcast on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, & YouTube and @thirdchannelpod on Bluesky, Twitter, & Letterboxd.

  7. Gremlins 2: The New Batch

    JAN 2

    Gremlins 2: The New Batch

    There are some things that man is not meant to splice. This week PJ and Derek are joined by special guest Charlie as they dive headfirst into the pure cinematic mayhem of Joe Dante’s sequel that gleefully tears up the rulebook in Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990). In this episode they explore how Dante uses slapstick violence, mutant gremlins, and nonstop parody to mock sequels, media culture, corporate America, and even the audience itself. Whether you think this anything-goes approach makes it brilliant or unbearable, it is certainly one of the strangest studio horror films ever made. 📺 The last time we heard from Charlie was for our discussion on A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985).

  8. Gremlins

    12/26/2025

    Gremlins

    Look Mister, there are some rules that you’ve got to follow. Join PJ and Derek as they unwrap the strange magic that is Joe Dante’s Christmas classic Gremlins (1984). In this episode the guys discuss why the gremlins themselves are both hilarious and genuinely unsettling, and how the movie pushed boundaries for what mainstream horror could look like with its blend of holiday cheer, creature-feature effects, and razor-sharp satire that remains a perfect example of horror that bites while it entertain. 📺 Check out Derek's list of Christmas horror films on Letterboxd.  Follow us @thirdchannelpodcast on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, & YouTube and @thirdchannelpod on Bluesky, Twitter, & Letterboxd.
