Who Goes There Podcast

It’s an undeniable fact that technology has infiltrated every single aspect of our lives. In a day and age where our refrigerators and dishwashers have wifi it’s virtually impossible to escape the cold, metallic clutches of technology. For this reason, Netflix’s Black Mirror has become one of the most creative and original franchises in quite some time. Now, we find ourselves staring down the release of the highly anticipated fifth season of the tumultuous technological terror. We’re going to exploring the bits and bytes of the three new episodes. (Review starts at 35:33) As always we run down the latest in horror news and give our opinions on a handful of films including: Bloody Bloody Bible Camp, The Odds, and Some Guy Who Kills People. There’s a bunch of kids over there in the cemetery… I know what they’re doing in there. It’s that damn Who Goes There Podcast episode 216!

Ahoy there, dorks! We’re back up in that ass with the resurrection! That’s just our fancy way of saying we’re back with another episode of hilarious horror hijinks…for your ass. This episode is pretty front loaded, so if you want to skip right to our thoughts on tonight’s film, skip to the 46:00 mark. All of us here at Who Goes There are getting pretty tired of hearing the name “Blumhouse” before every cinematic horror release. When you hear “Blumhouse” you get a very clear idea of what type of film you’re about to see. Much like with Troma, and Full Moon, Blumhouse definitely has a “type” when it comes to the films they release. This week, we’ll be discussing 2019’s Ma to see if it’s as wild as a high school kegger, or if it’s “just another Blumhouse film.” In addition to Ma we also give our thoughts on quite a few new releases, including Recovery, The Cleaning Lady, and The Silence. We’ve also got a heaping helping of horror news for ya; there was a lot to discuss this week. It’s the Who Goe

Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s… finally the end of the Marvel Cinematic Universe! I don’t know about you, but I have had it up to my tits with all of the superhero movies being shoved down our throats. For the last twelve years almost every film has been: weak villain attacks, fly, punch, celebrate, repeat. However, unlike zombies, the superhero genre has several ways of keeping itself feel fresh and interesting. You may be asking yourself, “but how can superhero movies keep from feeling stale?”. To which I reply, “calm down, I’ll tell you! Have you learned nothing of how this works?” Superhero films can stay relevant by changing up the formula on occasion. For example they can make the super being a child, or make it a villain story, or in the case of Brightburn, you can do both! (Review starts at 21:30) If that wasn’t enough to tickle your pickle, we also discuss our advance directives and how easily Alia could murder Matt. Rhett forgets this is a horror podcast again, Alia tr

For some reason, these days, everyone and their mom is a fan of serial killers and true crime. True crime podcasts are currently among the most successful shows available, even if they’re more known for their terrible jokes than their educational values. What lies deep inside of us that sparks this fascination for brutal murderers who commit unspeakable acts? Guess what. You won’t find the answer to that here, because we’re better known for our terrible jokes than anything actually informative. We did however pull out our big fat opinions for the new Ted Bundy love letter, Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil & Vile. (Review starts at 28:50) If this wasn’t enough for you we also talk a little bit about the new show Chernobyl. There’s also some more talk of remakes and other horror news for your earholes. A stupid witch who answers back, must BURN till her bones are black! It’s the Who Goes There Podcast episode 213! If you enjoy the show, please consider joining our Patreon subscribers.

Let’s be honest, shall we? The majority of us now roll our eyes at the announcement of any new zombie movie or show. The Walking Dead has been shambling on for far too long, and has been dragging the corpse of interesting zombie media with it. As summer draws ever closer, Netflix is hoping that the spring rains will have washed away the years of shitty-zombie-stink and has brought us Black Summer. (Review starts at 27:50) Did Netflix bite off more than it can chew with its ambitious zombie series? Will the scorching summer sun intensify the stench on the corpse of a once beloved sub-genre? Or will the dead rise once again to reclaim their spot at the top of the horror heap? Let’s find out! You killed my daddy, you maniacal, media-manipulated, homicidal, hermaphrodite freak of nature!

Happy Cinco de Mayo, pendejos! This is the one time of the year that Jorge reminds us all that he IS in fact Mexican. We’re throwing our kids in the creek and getting stupid as fuck with the newest jump scare extravaganza. Join us, as we cook Trader Joes carne asada, drink craft beer designed to look like Tecate, and listen to Mexican ska. Oh yeah, we’re also going to talk about The Curse of La Llorona. (Review starts at 30:55) I normally go through an agonizing process of trying to find something fun, informative, or interesting to write here; not today. I’m on vacation in Belgium right now and have been trying to post this for two days. So in order to meet the required word count I’m just telling you this. This right here. Yup, all these things that I’m saying now are for the word count. Will anyone read it? Probably not, just don’t tell Barkan. Son, if you ever say another derogatory word about Elvis Aron Presley in my presence again, I will kick the living shit out of you! This here is the W

Every year, Matt and Alia come back from the Telluride Horror Show and there always seems to be one movie they absolutely rave about. Some movies, like 2018’s Aterrados, absolutely live up to the hype, while some like 2015’s They Look Like People do not. Here we are again. Another year has passed, another film fest has come and gone, and this year the adorable duo were singing the The Head Hunter‘s praises from those snowy Telluride mountaintops. (Review starts at 24:42) In fact, Matt was quoted in the films trailer, calling The Head Hunter, “a gut punch of tension, horror, and dread”. Can the film possibly live up to the massive amounts of praise showered upon it? Or will accounts of the film’s greatness prove to be just a fantasy? I am the writing on the wall, the whisper in the classroom. I am the Who Goes There Podcast, episode 210! If you enjoy the show, please consider joining our Patreon subscribers.

Welcome, to the first time this year we’ll be squabbling about yet another Stephen King remake! This time around, we’ll be discussing the brand new remake of 1989’s Pet Sematary. If you’ve been a listener of our show for a while now you may have heard our review of Pet Sematary 2. Seeing as how we never reviewed the original, this aught to make up for that, right? (Review starts at 47:27) In addition to our to our carefully crafted colloquialisms, we also have a rather in depth conversation about why we want another Friday the 13th movie, and why slasher films in general are important. Jorge just doesn’t understand slashers, and we gotta take this little n00b to school. Guys, it’s ok! He just wants his machete back! It’s the Who Goes There Podcast episode 209!

Guys, we did it! We managed to wrangle in our dear friend Chris Franco for another episode! When we heard a new Critters TV show was in the works we immediately called Chris. Even better, you can stream Critters: A New Binge in its entirety over on Shudder. (Review starts at 48:00) To be honest, I’m so happy with how this episode came out. I’ve wanted to get Chris and Rhett into the same room to wax poetic for quite some time. Let me just tell you, they did not disappoint. Sit back, grab your popcorn, and enjoy the insanity! It knows what scares you. It has from the very beginning. Don’t give it any help, it knows too much already. It’s the WHO GOES THERE PODCAST episode 208!

Whether you love him, or you hate him, there’s no denying that Jordan Peele is currently one of, if not the biggest name in horror cinema. Hot on the heels of his 2017 breakout hit Get Out, Peele is back with his sophomore effort Us. Has Jordan Peele managed to once again capture lightning in a bottle, or has the comedian turned horror director fallen victim to the dreaded sophomore slump? (Review starts at 41:30) In order to prepare for the filming of Us, Jordan Peele had his stars watch a series of genre defining horror, so that they may fully understand what he expected of them. Likewise, we prepared for this episode, we drank… a lot. In addition to unleashing our opinions on what many are already calling “the film of the year” we also talk about how much fun you can have by putting things in your butt. If that’s not your cup of tea we also discuss Devil May Cry 5, the newly announced Toxic Avenger remake, the Dark Tower tv show, and the #horror bullshit happening over at Instagram. But you

Boy oh boy, do we have a treat for you nerds! This week we’re joined by the very funny comedian Ryan Shores to discuss the pinnacle of sophistication: the theatre. We’ll discuss how powerful the on stage performance can be, the grace and beauty of the ballet, and timeless works of art. In addition, we’ll also be discussing human dart boards, snuff as entertainment, mouth urinals, and lots and lots of boobs! You might be asking, “how on earth are they able to seamlessly cover such a wide range of topics?” Well, I’ll tell ya, Slappy. It’s all thanks to the cinematic masterpiece that is Blood Sucking Freaks! Join us, as we bask in the glory of one of my all time favorite Troma releases, and keep someone from flying off the handle.

We’ve been doing the Who Goes There Podcast for nearly six years and we are just now covering our first Korean film. This week, our guest this week is the haomie: author, San Diegan, and occasional taco eater Brian Asman. We discuss his new book, I’m Not Even Supposed To Be Here Today, and one of the most bizarre and insanely awesome movies we’ve ever covered in 2016’s The Wailing. (Review starts at 21:20) We also discuss other ridiculous stuff, including how Matt pisses Jorge off “on purpose”, the movies we’ve recently seen, and we drink pickle juice right in front of Brian’s pickle hating face! What is fuckin wrong with you, Brian?! You can pick up Brian Asman’s new book I’m Not Even Supposed To Be Here Today on Amazon. The book has time loops, demon summoning homeless, tasty waves, and a giant, menacing, kaiju Kevin Smith. What more do you fuckin want? In all of my travels, I’ve only ever known a human to be an ocean of shit. It’s the Who Goes There Podcast episode 204! If you enjoy th

Lay down your souls to the gods rock ‘n roll! Heavy metal and horror films go together like peanut butter and bacon (seriously, try it). It seems like it was only a matter of time before we’d eventually see more horror films about heavy metal. Luckily for all of us, the real life events surrounding the bands Mayhem, Burzum and the creation of Norwegian Black Metal were just begging for a big screen adaptation. Lords of Chaos introduces a world of unfamiliar fans to all of the church burning, knife wielding, corpse painted insanity that was Norway and the metal scene in the early 1990s. An adaptation of the book of the same name, Lords of Chaos claims it is based on “truth, lies, and what really happened”, but how much of this blood soaked tale is fact, and how much is just for show? Goddamn heads landing on cars while Long Island families are singing ‘Found a Peanut’! They found a peanut, all right, honey. They found a peanut of death!

Oodalolly, oodalolly, golly what a day! We’re going to talk about The Gay Agenda! No, I’m not talking about what they’re doing to the soil over at Stuart’s trailer park. We’re joined by Luis, drummer for the San Diego hardcore band The Gay Agenda, to discuss “queer core” and some good, old fashioned, Japanese gore in the form of 1999’s Audition. Audition has been hailed as a “turning point in Japanese cinema” and is celebrating its twenty year anniversary with the release of a sweet, new 2K restoration. We’re here to answer the REAL questions, folks. Does Audition live up to the hype? Does it still hold up after two decades of infamy? Tune in and find out. You can find The Gay Agenda on Facebook and Bandcamp. Your mouth would make an interesting urinal. It’s the Who Goes There Podcast episode 203!

Art is arguably one of the most powerful forces on Earth. In the right (or wrong) hands art can spark inspiration, bring together a nation, or destroy a regime. However, when art falls into supernatural hands it has the power to kill pretentious yuppies in hilarious ways; enter Velvet Buzzsaw. (Review starts at 28:12) Velvet Buzzsaw has the unique distinction of being “a horror movie about art, versus an art movie about horror”; boy is it a good thing it is. In addition to our on point critiques of Velvet Buzzsaw we’ll also give you the abridged history of Mormonism, our thoughts on new film The Prodigy, and explore Matt’s “habit forming” Hierophilia. I’d like to know what you’re doing with all that chicken in your pants. It’s the Who Goes There Podcast episode 202! If you enjoy the show, please consider joining our Patreon subscribers.

Guys, we’re finally on Spotify! We know, we should have been on there much sooner, but there was some kind of problem with our artwork. The point is, now you can easily access our “quality horror content” without a designated podcast app! One we hit episode 200 we decided we were going to do less “mainstream new releases” and more of what we actually want to do. With that in mind, if you came here this week looking for Happy Death Day 2U or The Prodigy, sucks for you haomie, you’re getting Piercing! (Review starts at 23:50) Have you ever had the uncontrollable urge to stab your newborn baby to death with an icepick? Have you decided instead to stab a prostitute to death, only to a wild, romcom of a night with said prostitute? Well, then you might be the inspiration behind the movie Piercing, which is directed by the same guy who did The Eyes of My Mother, and based on the book Piercing, which was written by the guy who wrote Audition. So that’s fun. I wish there was a very nice woman hiding so

When we started the Who Goes There Podcast in the Spring of 2013 our goal was to introduce people to the insane movies that we love, especially the more obscure films. As of late we have lost our way a bit and fallen into reviewing every Hollywood horror film that is released, regardless of if we even want to watch it. For episode 200, we said, “fuck that noise!” That’s right, slap nuts! For episode 200 we’re kicking off Februwiener the right way by fluffing ourselves and our egos! This week we’re doing two movies; we’re doing “the ultimate Matt and Jorge movies”! Each of us picked a movie that we feel best captures what we love about horror and we’re cramming it in to one girthy ass…episode. First we kick things off with 1979’s Alien (Review starts at 31:30), then we get zany as fuck with the 2011 Troma release Father’s Day (Review at 1:01:00) You want a dick month? We’ll give you dick month! Starting with the Who Goes There Podcast episode 200! If you enjoy the show, please consider join

In 2017, M. Night Shyamalan shocked the horror universe! When the occasionally-genius-often-terrible director revealed his new film Split, (about a super-human schizophrenic) was in fact a sequel to 2000’s Unbreakable and part of a planned trilogy, fans and haters alike lost their collective minds. Fast forward two years and the trilogy is now complete, with the release of the third and “final” installment: Glass. In order to tackle a movie of such great importance, we’ve reformed our powerful threesome and brought Chris back to…make sense of Glass. (Review starts at 31:27) We’ll catch up on all things Chris, and get down to our usual douche baggery; but you love that, you dumb bastard. Glass Samuel L. Jackson, James McAvoy, and Bruce Willis Maybe now you’ll take me syrupsly! It’s the Who Goes There Podcast episode 199! If you enjoy the show, please consider joining our Patreon subscribers.

For the last four years, I’ve greatly looked forward to the the second weekend of October. The second weekend in October is when we drive for 13 hours to get to beautiful Telluride, Colorado to take part in the Telluride Horror Show. Over the last four year we’ve met some awesome people and seen some incredible movies. Hell, we’ve even seen a couple of not so great movies there. Downrange is one of those movies. (Review starts at 26:51) Join us, as we get irrationally upset at an inexplicably unenjoyable movie. If that isn’t enough to blow your hair back we also give our thoughts on the Resident Evil 2 one-shot demo, and the announcement of a Final Destination reboot. Still not enough? We’ve got advice on how to quickly and easily put your children to sleep using only narcotics and our own versions of the Bird Box challenge. Your mother sucks cocks in hell! Viva Dick Month!

Ladies and gentlemen, we’re wasting no time in 2019, and we’ve got a brand new horror film in theaters. This week we’re twisting the knobs and looking for a way out of 2019’s Escape Room. (Review starts at 33:25) If being locked in a room with a bunch of people you don’t know isn’t your thing, we’re also opening up on Bird Box and making the choice to discuss Black Mirror: Bandersnatch.
