Two women face each other in a dark setting; one holds a lighter up, illuminating both their faces. The other woman has long hair and blood on her face, creating a tense atmosphere. 0

Match

We talk through the creepy catfishing premise, the overbearing mom luring women to her house, and Henry’s memorable monster design, along with the movie’s mix of gross-out shocks, dark humor, and some frustrating “why would you do that?” character choices. Despite the cliches and suspension-of-disbelief moments, there’s plenty to discuss—from the Buffy-like mid-movie team-up and standout kills to the bizarre music-soothing motif and an especially brutal finale. If you’re in the mood for something dumb, goofy, and competently made, this one might be worth the watch on free, ad-supported Tubi.

Cutting Class

We talk about the oddball cast—especially a very young Brad Pitt—plus Jill Schoelen, Martin Mull, and Roddy McDowell, and why so many scenes feel bizarrely staged or played too straight for the gags. From killer POV moments and death-by-kiln to the Xerox kill and that trampoline flag impalement, the movie delivers creative set pieces even when the plot and character motivations don’t track. It’s not a good movie, but we still had fun with it and think it plays best with friends.

Together

We talk about why the movie has been so well received, how the effects and cinematography elevate it, and how the central relationship feels unusually intimate and honest. From moving to a rural house and the couple’s growing tension to the disturbing cave, the mysterious “water,” and the escalating physical and psychic bonding, we walk through the major plot turns.

The Dead Pit

We talk about how derivative it feels of films like Bad Dreams, Halloween-style stalking, and other late-’80s horror beats, while still appreciating the moody lighting, strong visuals, and some fun practical effects.

Curse II: The Bite

This movie has a lot going for it: ’80s time-capsule vibe, TV-heavy cast (including Jamie Farr, Sidney Lassick, and Brion James), and practical body-horror effects by Screaming Mad George. The plot follows a young couple on a road trip after Clark is bitten by a mutant snake, leading to an escalating transformation into a snake-armed—and eventually snake-spewing—monster, while Farr’s character pursues them after giving the wrong antidote.

Maniac

We’re finally covering William Lustig’s 1980 cult horror film Maniac – a gritty, guerrilla-shot New York character study starring Joe Spinell as Frank Zito,
