2 Guys and a Chainsaw

Tagged: comedy

In a dimly lit room, echoing the tense atmosphere of a hospital massacre, two men stand face-to-face—one with a handgun aimed at the other's throat. The gunman's serious expression contrasts sharply with the other’s slight head tilt, set against wooden elements and a blurred window. 0

Swallowed

It’s not often you find something unique in the world of horror. Swallowed gave Mark Patton (star of Nightmare on Elm Street 2) a chance to be himself on the silver screen as a gay drug dealer trying to recover his horrifying cargo from the bodies of two young men coerced into smuggling it across the border. Full of uncomfortable tension and frankly excellent performances, Swallowed gave us a lot to talk about and a lot to love. We’re happy to add it to our short but growing list of queer-themed horror we’ve covered on the podcast thus far. Enjoy!

A person stands in a dimly lit hallway, holding a large white sheet stretched out. The light behind them creates an X-ray effect, silhouetting their form. The hallway's reflective surfaces echo an eerie calmness with a bright light source gleaming at the end. 0

X-Ray (aka Hospital Massacre)

Finding such a hidden “so bad it’s good” gem was like biting into our favorite bon bon in a box of chocolates. Laugh along with us! Loyal listeners, we love you all.

The Substance

Dive into the surreal world of “The Substance” (2024), where Demi Moore’s stunning performance takes her from Hollywood darling to grotesque visionary. With nods to The Shining and the insanity of Eraserhead, this movie punches through traditional narratives and straight into the realm of allegory. But what exactly is it an allegory for? Join us as we dissect this bizarre, critically acclaimed Oscar nominee.

Eraserhead

What better choice to honor David Lynch than through his surrealist horror filmm ‘Eraserhead’? It’s his first feature-length film, released in 1977. We discuss its impact, complex narrative, and unique style. We do our best to explore the film’s surrealist elements, its unsettling soundscape, and its enigmatic nature. We also chat a bit about Lynch’s story, his filmmaking philosophy, and his influence on other directors and the cinematic landscape. Enjoy!

A woman stands in the rain, holding out a blanket or cloth. She appears soaked, with water dripping from her hair. The scene bears an eerie familiarity to the opening moments of a suspenseful tale, as if hinting at the beginning of a chilling chapter in the Psycho franchise. 0

Psycho IV: The Beginning

Not only was it Anthony Hopkins’ favorite sequel (he died a few years later), child actor Henry Thomas scandalized the world with his fascinating portrayal of the young Norman. We’ve got incest, chain smoking radio hosts, lustful sexiness straight out of a 90’s erotic thriller, and the screenwriter of the original all assembled together for a compelling (and occasionally silly) final entry in the saga of the Bates Hotel.
