The inspiration for Chocolate Chip Charlie has left us. We covered "The Stuff" on the Graveyard Shift Horror Podcast and that character was a real hit with us. We loved that man and his fist of steel 👊🏿

For your convenience. Btw. Any suggestions on how we cover the series? Film release of chronological?

Alien: Romulus takes place in the year 2142, right between Alien (1979) and Aliens (1986).

I'm pretty sure I reviewed the right episode on my podcast... Maybe someone can check for me? 😉

We get Fresh as we dig into this dark thriller with notes of comedy, about the perils of dating. There's plenty of delicious characters on display in this film. Plus Sebastian Stan shows us a side more dangerous than the Winter Soldier.

What happens when you take the dangers of dating, the desperation for side hustle in a gig economy, and the stigma of vegetarianism, and combine it in a quirky dark comedy thriller seasoned with a tongue in cheek soundtrack? You get a movie that really hits so many night notes it only hits lows crea

This is the end of our first Nic Uncaged month, and the last examination of the beautiful singular madness of Nic Cage is to be about where it began, with Vampire's Kiss. This is as nuts in its creation as it was in its final release. and the conclusion of my conversation with Nic Cage

We have reached the bombastic conclusion of Nic Uncaged on the podcast where one Nicolas Cage has had his horror films appraised by us. and we end it where it all began. His first horror (with an asterisk) film. The story behind this is as bizarre as the final product. and more bizarre still is how

That's America's nards!

We have been sharing the steamy details of our friendship with "Nicolas Cage " all month on the Graveyard Shift Horror Podcast as we celebrate the horror films of one Mr Nicolas Cage. We had doubters that this person was the very same actor of stage and screen. Mostly because every message looked like a completely obvious scam.
But those doubts are all laid to rest and certainty is with us about the true identity of Mike's new online friend.

Also check out this week's episode for exclusive audio and the thrilling conclusion of this examination into the horror works of on the horror podcast!

New episode! Nic Uncaged Month is nearing the end and we take a pit stop at a roadside funland only to find ourselves trapped with a silent protaganist. and a group of teenagers that immediately forgot why they are there.

Unlike the janitor of this film, we have a lot to say about Willy’s Wonderland. Totally not a rip off of 5 nights at Freddy’s or the Banana Splits Movie, or Child’s Play. This movie is SOOOO much its own thing, with likeable characters and a coherent plot with justified motivations. And the co...

New episode! The world changed one day in 2018 when parents around the world had one inescapable urge. To terminate their genetic legacy. We never know why. It just happens. Nic Cage and Selma Blair star as parents playing Extreme Tom & Jerry with their children. It's a great movie.

We have reached the hump of Nic Uncaged Month on the podcast and Holy Mothers/Fathers Day! This movie is a novel idea, where parents all have the same urge, to take back their independence and revoke their parental rights in the extreme. Selma Blair shines in this movie and we would be totally conv

New episode! The month of Nic Uncaged continues with Color out of Space. Someone must have asked how can a color be a threat, and H.P Lovecraft said "I been scared of colors all my life, see my fear!" but unlike his views on minorities, this is quite enjoyable!

We have only just begun to celebrate the horror works of Nic Cage and man we really stepped up from the last one, cause this is a Lovecraft adaptation. One of the most interesting ways to create an otherworldly threat that exists beyond human morality and understanding, this was just done super well

New episode! We begin the month of June with our marathon of the Master of Mania, Nic Cage! Hes done quite a few horrors and we aim to watch em all. We begin with this craptastic cover of a signifigantly better movie we already covered. So why check it again? Because it's loaded with tons of crap the other didnt have!. Simple enough right?

We pay tribute to the horror movies of Nic Cage in our theme month Nic Uncaged! We begin with the 2006 Wicker Man remake. And if you think we’re going to hate it cause everyone else, we got news for you. We only hate things for OUR reasons, and you will hear all of them in this episode. Including ...

New episode! We finish Indigenous People's Month on the Graveyard Shift. We did a lot of learning. and watched some great movies. And then we also watched this one. but hey it's something to talk about. Let's see what the next month brings us.

Indigenous Peoples Month ends with the self proclaimed FIRST native peoples horror. Rod Pocawatchit directed a movie. this is that movie. and we watched it. and now we talk about it. i think our podcast is better, but i admit to bias. though i stand by it will save you watching the movie. at least

Drink water, ya screw heads!

Bruce Campbell turns 66 today! And he's reminding you all to keep hydrated and stay groovy!

New episode! Indigenous Peoples Month continues as we learn what happens when ancient cultures meet an alien threat. but it's not Prey. and it can take over other life forms. but it's not The Thing. It's borrowed a lot but is also its own thing and worth a peak, or at the very least a listen to, on the podcast!

What do you get when you have a bunch of teenage girls trying to navigate puberty in an isolated northern village, caught between the fast paced present, and the slow methodical traditions of your community? AND….. there just so happens to be an infestation of alien worms here to kill everyone? Yo...

Happy fathers Day to all the horror heads making the world a better place with new horror heads

New episode! For 13 years, Jeff Barnaby asked himself a simple question, what if the natives were immune to smallpox when it came to their lands? The answer lead to this film where a First Nations tribe in North Quebec faces a zombie apocalyse where they are immune to the infection.

Indigenous Peoples Month continues with our tribute to Jeff Barnaby, and his final film Blood Quantum. This film has a lot behind it’s origin, and its intent, which we will leave to the episode itself. We have merch now! Follow us on Twitch for listening parties and just hanging out. Also we

New episode! We Celebrate Indigenous Peoples Month on the podcast to celebrate native representation and contribution to horror cinema. We begin with the 2022 film Prey, where a Comanchee woman finds herself facing something the plains has never seen before, and it won't leave till it's had its fill. Also, there's a Predator.

We take a break from Pride Month to celebrate Indigenous Peoples Month. Native peoples depiction in horror films or just regular film has been notorious. We take this month to give historical context to what lead to this, and the effects of it and what’s been done to correct it. We take films that...

Discuss

Mary Poppins and Pennywise are creatures of the same species.

Each returns every 20-something years (Pennywise 27, Mary Poppins 25) to regenerate energy from a new group of children, but also have a tendency to return to those they met on their last visit (Pennywise returns to the Losers, Mary Poppins returns to the Bankses.)

Mary Poppins manages to maintain energy for 25 years despite interacting with less children than Pennywise requires for 27 years as she relies on children’s joy, unlike Pennywise who relies on their fear, and as proven in Monsters Inc children’s laughter is worth more than their fear.

Upon each of their returns, they draw a child named Georgie away from their siblings with a paper toy, then appear alongside that toy to return it to Georgie (Mary Poppins returns Georgie's kite, Pennywise acts as though he’s returning Georgie’s boat.)

Each has the same set of powers, in which they can take advantage of what lies in the children’s minds (Mary Poppins uses their imagination, Pennywise uses their fear.)

Mary Poppins famously has a living reflection that can function separately from her, and Pennywise is shown to share this ability in Chapter Two.

In each of these stories, the parents are oblivious to the fantastical situations being experienced by the children.

The Losers club forget their experiences as children until Pennywise returns, and although the Banks children do not forget Mary Poppins, they do forget that the magical experiences actually happened, and they remember Mary Poppins as just a nanny.

Each has a love for singing and dancing, which should be obvious for Mary Poppins, but becomes clearer for Pennywise when you remember that he refers to himself as Pennywise the Dancing Clown, dances for Beverly in Chapter One, and sings for Richie in Chapter Two.

Pennywise is heavily associated with the song Oranges and Lemons, which is a song about old London, where Mary Poppins lives, showing that Pennywise has an awareness that another member of his species is out there, and he knows exactly where they are.

At the end of Mary Poppins returns, the characters all grab balloons and float into the air, and balloons and floating are both highly associated with Pennywise.

I now formally demand that Stephen King and Disney collaborate on a shared-universe project, in which the Practically Perfect Nanny throws down with the Dancing Clown under Derry.

New episode! We finish the month with a Halloween talk show episode that changed the world in 1978 when a desperate talk show host invites a guest on his show that nobody expected. Or wanted..

We go back to the 70’s with this brand new movie, where David Dastmalchian who kicked ass as polka dot man, and many other roles, gets his starring role as a talk show host struggling to keep his career, and in his desperation, he decides to get a guest no one has ever landed on TV before…. an a...
