Barb Wire (1996)

Wed, 23 Mar 2022 04:43:14 GMT

This week we look at a film that most of you probably haven’t seen, and if you haven’t watched the Disney+ limited series “Pam and Tommy” may have never even heard of.

Barb Wire is a 1996 American superhero film based on the Dark Horse comic book of the same name. The film is a loose remake of Casablanca and stars Pamela Anderson in the titular role as a nightclub owner who moonlights as a mercenary in one of the last free zones in the now fascist United States. When scientist Cora Devonshire (Victoria Rowell) wanders into Barb’s establishment, she gets roped into a top-secret government plot involving biological weapons.

Barb Wire was panned by critics and failed at the box office, but reactions probably had more to do with the media pile-on Anderson was facing at the time because of her leaked sex tape with husband Tommy Lee rather than the quality of this completely average but enjoyable action movie.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)

Tue, 15 Mar 2022 19:53:45 GMT

With the recent release of its 2022 sequel on Netflix, we thought it was time we looked at the often referenced horror classic The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, directed by Tobe Hooper, and see what we can do to survive it.Loosely based on the crimes of real-life serial killer Ed Gein, it tells the story of a group of young friends who discover a family of crazed, murderous outcasts living in rural Texas. As the group is picked off one by one by the chainsaw-wielding Leatherface (Gunnar Hansen), the survivors must do everything they can to escape.

While it initially drew a mixed reception from critics, it has since gained a reputation as one of the best and most influential horror films of all time and has been credited with originating several elements common in the slasher film genre.

The Wicker Man (1973)

Tue, 19 Oct 2021 11:57:40 GMT

This week we have an appointment to keep... with The Wicker Man.

The Wicker Man is a 1973 cult British horror film directed by Robin Hardy and starring Edward Woodward, Britt Ekland, Diane Cilento, Ingrid Pitt, and Christopher Lee. The screenplay by Anthony Shaffer, inspired by David Pinner's 1967 novel Ritual, centers on the visit of Police Sergeant Neil Howie to the isolated island of Summerisle in search of a missing girl. Howie, a devout Christian, is appalled to find that the inhabitants of the island have abandoned Christianity and now practice a form of Celtic paganism.

The film is well-regarded by critics and has been described as "The Citizen Kane of horror movies". In 2006, a poorly received (and ill-conceived) American remake was released starring Nicholas Cage, which Hardy and others involved with the original dissociated themselves from. In 2011, a spiritual sequel directed by Hardy entitled The Wicker Tree was released and featured Lee in a cameo appearance.

Coronavirus, The Real life Contagion

Fri, 14 Feb 2020 02:15:41 GMT

Since it hit headlines in early January 2020, novel coronavirus (also known as Wuhan conorovirus or COVID-19) has been reminding many of the 2011 film Contagion. In this episode, we look at the history of the various real coronavirus' such as SARS and MERS, how they work, and if the nightmare scenario depicted in the film is something we should be concerned about.

Contagion is a 2011 film directed by Stephen Soderberg. In the film, the death of Beth Emhoff and her son leads to the discovery of a deadly virus that quickly becomes a pandemic. As the US Centers for Disease Control struggles to curb its spread, a worldwide panic ensues.

Keep in mind, we are neither a news podcast nor a science one, and a lot has happened since we recorded this episode last weekend. For accurate up-to-date information, visit the CDC's website https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/prevention-treatment.html

The Insect Apocalypse

Thu, 07 Nov 2019 22:55:41 GMT

Insects, which count for two-thirds of all terrestrial species, have been dying off at alarming rates. While some might welcome a world where we don't have to pack bug-spray for camping trips, this insect apocalypse will have disastrous implications on the ecosystem, food chain, and global economy. It may very well, even lead to our own.

Scream

Thu, 03 Oct 2019 21:02:03 GMT

It's Halloween season, and you know what that means... it's about time we take a trip to Woodsboro and see if we have what it takes to defeat GhostFace Killer once and for all (Not the Wu-Tang one... we already know how that'd end).

"Scream" is a 1996 horror film where Wes Craven re-invented and revitalized the slasher genre. This modern horror classic manages to be funny, clever and scary all at the same time... and more importantly, it also stars Skeet Ulrich.

How to Survive a Slasher Movie

Fri, 17 Nov 2017 00:03:06 GMT

The audio which you are about to hear is an account of the tragedy which befell two podcasters on an ill-fated Atumtun's day. It is all the more tragic in that they were young. But, had they lived very, very long lives, they could not have expected nor would they have wished to see as much of the mad and macabre as they were to see that day. For them, an idyllic afternoon drive became a nightmare. The events of that day were to lead to the discovery of one of the most bizarre crimes in the annals of Podcast History, The Second Annual Disaster Artists Spooktacular.

IT, Derry, and The Deadlights

Tue, 24 Oct 2017 10:01:24 GMT

Derry, Maine is not like any town you've ever visited. People disappear six times the national average.... and that's just the grown-ups, kids are worse. This week Johnny and Shane face their fears at 29 Neibolt Street, walk through grey water, and try to kill that f**king clown.

"It" is a 1986 horror novel by American author Stephen King. It was his 22nd book and 18th novel written under his own name. The story follows the experiences of seven troubled children as they are terrorized by a cosmic entity that exploits the fears and phobias of its victims to disguise itself while hunting its prey. The book has won numerous awards and is commonly blamed for igniting the fear of clowns within popular culture.Long thought to be "unfilmable" the first half of the novel has recently been adapted for the screen to both critical and commercial success. Stephen King has authored 50+ Novels, 6 non-fiction books, and more than 200 short stories. He was awarded the National Medal of Arts by President Obama in 2014.

SnakePocalypse

Fri, 17 Mar 2017 19:52:25 GMT

This week we tackle the most inevitable of apocalyptic scenarios, "What if snakes took over the world?" Would it spell the end of humanity as we know it? or would we be able to do like St. Patrick before us, and banish them into the fiery pits from which they sprang. The only thing that's certain, is we've had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking island!

Saint Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, known to have driven the snakes off the island. While not exactly true, it sure makes for an interesting scenario. We talk about it, the real Paddy, how to survive a snake bite, and much more, in this Saint Patrick's Day Special.

But to get there, they're going to need a little help... help from a legend, that maybe... still lives.

Old Man Logan is an alternative version of the Marvel Comics' character Wolverine. This character is an aging version of Wolverine, living in an alternate future universe (designated as Earth-807128) where supervillains have overthrown the superheroes and evil reigns.
