Welcome to our 2023 Year End LIVE Wrap-Up!

Trashing Through Snow comes to a close with the Joe Dante horror-comedy Christmas classic, Gremlins! Despite being a huge success, this flick caught a lot of heat for being marketed as a kid friendly movie and ended up being deemed too scary according to some parents. If you ask us, those folks just need to grow a pair–of mogwai that is! Gremlins is the perfect gateway horror movie, and we'll stand by that! So, remember those three important rules, and don't buy your kids exotic pets because you just might end up with a gremlin in your house!

This week in in the video dungeon we're taking a look at a movie 16 years in the making!

Effect and CauseFormer hippie and free-spirited artist Kate Collins (Susan Strasberg), after discovering a sinister painting in her collection and reusing the canvas, discovers that the laws of cause and effect are beginning to operate in reverse. She further discovers that she can also alter reality itself at random, but when she begins losing control of her newfound powers, which she believes are the result of "bad karma" accumulated from erasing the painting, things build up to an explosive conclusion. Written by Michael P. Kube-McDowell. Original Air Date: December 8, 1985

Let’s play a game one more time, Dumpster Dwellers! Connor McGraw joins us this week for a special Dumpster trio reunion to talk about the ninth sequel, requel, smeequel in the John Kramer legacy. Nestling itself between SAW and SAW II, SAW X acts as an interstitial that weaves a questionable anti-hero storyline, showing a different side of John Kramer that we have never seen. The real lesson from this game is that if something is too good to be true, it probably is! Pack up your tool bags and trap blueprints because we're headed to Mexico for a miracle cure with SAW X!

The crew quickly gets more than they bargained for after disturbing the ghost of Lady Mamiya, who is about to unleash the fury of a thousand angry mothers–She wants her baby back (ribs)!
