Man, 2020 gets more and more crazy every day. We have premature easing of COVID-19 lockdown restrictions in England, protesting and riots in the US and Elon Musk built a good rocket. It's a weird and scary time indeed but for now, Andy and Mitch are locked away, continuing to bring you content.  So, without further ado, MINISODE 105! Topics this week include Arrow Video's release of Lucky McKee's excellent THE WOMAN, SLAUGHTER HIGH, Smoky Thriller Friday takes a backseat to our LIVE watchalong and Mitch continues his 90s side-quest with THE RAGE: CARRIE 2! Also, there's another installment of MITCH'S PITCHES!  Due to his well documented ignorance towards films, Mitch is shown a film poster with all titles, taglines etc removed and tasked with attempting to decipher the plot. Will it go well? The poster image can be seen below... We also announce the film and guest for this week's main episode.  In addition to all this, we dig into your posts and messages in the Feedback section and tell you what you s

  HEY! Rejoice! For better or worse it looks like lockdown is easing a little. Things are looking up, y'all! Well, that is until the next inevitable lockdown! BUT that's a ballache for the future. We are focused on the here, the now, on EPISODE 104!  Anyway, our guest this week is a RETURNING guest. A horror writer, an occasional doer of musical things and one of the hosts of the podcast STRONG LANGUAGE & VIOLENT SCENES...  It's MITCH BAIN! His chosen film? OPEN WINDOWS! We all know Mitch loves a tech-horror. That's no secret. So it should come as no surprise to learn that he has gone for TimeCrimes and Colossal director Nacho Vigalondo's 2014 "webcam" mystery, Open Windows! This might well be a contentious issue as we did into the film, which stars Elijah Wood, Sasha Grey and Neil Maskell! Can Mitch come out on top and win Andy round? Dive in and see!  The synopsis is as follows:  An actress refuses to have dinner with a fan who won a date with her in an Internet contest. In return, a man posin

WATCH ON VIDEO!  Hi! Apologies for the intrusion but we are here to dispense some instructions for this week's LIVE watchalong.  If you haven't heard the last few Minisodes, you might not yet know that we are doing a live, interactive watchalong at 8pm (UK TIME) on FRIDAY, 29th MAY! The film? After extensive polling, SPECIES 2!  So, how will this work? Details below!  1: Watch "Species 2" - It's available on Netflix, along with the rest of the Species movies. We would recommend watching the first one. 2: Download the Zoom app from Google Play, App Store or on your PC. 3: Keep an eye on our social media for the Live Room link and password. 4: We will priovide the timecode so everyone can get synced up and then, be ready to roll at 8PM UK TIME! 5: We would love to see all your faces but cameras are optional. We are just happy to have folk there. As for mics, please keep them muted until we say so.  6: Crack a beer, settle in, get involved and ENJOY! Hope to see you there!  Please note that this podc

Lockdown. Continues. Send KFC.  Big thanks to our pal Paul Etheredge for this week's message!  So, without further ado, MINISODE 104! Topics this week include Shudder Original BLOOD MACHINES,  Karyn Kusama's JENNIFER'S BODY, back to Shudder for OPEN GRAVE and Smoky Thriller Friday returns with Netflix's KILLER COVE and Mitch, somewhat unsurprisingly, continues his 90s side-quest with DISTURBING BEHAVIOUR! Also, there's another installment of MITCH'S PITCHES!  Due to his well documented ignorance towards films, Mitch is shown a film poster with all titles, taglines etc removed and tasked with attempting to decipher the plot. Will it go well? The poster image can be seen below... We also announce the film and guest for this week's main episode.  In addition to all this, we dig into your posts and messages in the Feedback section and tell you what you should be watching as we look at what's arriving on streaming platforms this week!

Lockdown continues. Losing control. Bring the yuks! It's Episode 103! Our guest this week is the author of the novels THE BOY, THE REMAKING and Marvel's SCREAM: CURSE OF CARNAGE... It's Clay McLeod Chapman!   His chosen film? Student Bodies! The synopsis is as follows:  In this seminal horror-comedy, an anonymous killer known only as "the Breather" terrorizes the teenagers of Lamab High by killing every student who indulges in sex. The long list of suspects includes the school's psychoanalyst, nurse, principal and, most surprisingly, virginal student Toby, who's always at the scene of the crime. Toby knows she's innocent, however, and vows to catch the killer. Huge thanks to Clay for joining us! Follow him on Instagram HERE!  Also, massive thanks to PADDY MURPHY, for his opening message!  Please note that this episode contains strong language, conversations of an adult nature and EXTREMELY Scottish accents.  Remember, you can keep up to date with our news by following us via the usual social m

Hello CHUDs! I hope lockdown is continuing to be tolerable and that you aren't gathering in any parks anywhere protesting against the invisible shackles imposed upon you by multi-national organisations working in cahoots with shadowy governments. If you HAVE been doing that, you're a dick.  THIS WEEK, saw us kick-start a new thing, over on Facebook, it's a little group called The CHUD Locker, where you wonderful people can go and discuss films, games, your own projects and even slag off Andy as he's not on Facebook and cant see it. Have at it!  Big thanks to our pal Morgan Peter Brown for this week's message!  So, without further ado, MINISODE 103! Topics this week include Shudder Exclusive zombie flick BLOOD QUANTUM (which sees Andy issue a retraction), Abe Goldfarb's THE HORROR AT GALLERY KAY, Smoky Thriller Friday returns with Netflix's THE MYSTERY OF MICHELLE and Mitch, somewhat unsurprisingly, continues his 90s side-quest with I STILL KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER! Also, there's another installment

Well that's it. The excitement of Episode 100 is behind us. Back to business as usual with this one, EPISODE 102!  Our guest this week is the director of the amazing short THE BABYSITTER MURDERS and the Glasgow Frightfest 2020 selection THE MORTUARY COLLECTION... It's Ryan Spindell! His chosen film? Burnt Offerings! I will preface this with a comment. I KNOW. I know that this film is not a bad film by any stretch of the imagination. What it IS, is an excellent film in need of some love and one that everyone should see.  It's a twist on the to-good-to-be-true haunted house movie which stars Oliver Reed, Karen Black, Bette Davis and Burgess Meredith!  The synopsis is as follows:  Ben and Marian Rolf can't believe how cheap the rent is at their giant Victorian summer home. Over time, however, they begin to sense that there's something peculiar about the place. Marian becomes strangely obsessed with keeping house, Ben finds himself prone to unusual bursts of anger and his vivacious aunt Elizabeth becom

  Another week in lockdown sorted. Andy's hair is getting shorter, his beard longer. Mitch, the exact opposite. Days have no meaning. It's all a blur.  That said, STAY HOME. Don't be a dick because Boris Johnson says you can. We will still be here giving you all the goodness you'd expect.  Massive thanks to the ever wonderful MATT MERCER for this week's audio message! So, on with MINISODE 102! Topics this week include Shudder Exclusive Z, 15th Century mind-fuck HAGAZUSSA, Mitch looks at the offerings shown at SOHOME HORROR FILM FESTIVAL, Smoky Thriller Friday returns with a puff rather than a bang with Netflix's DANGEROUS LIES and Mitch continues his 90s side-quest with I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER! Also, there's another installment of MITCH'S PITCHES!  Due to his well documented ignorance towards films, Mitch is shown a film poster with all titles, taglines etc removed and tasked with attempting to decipher the plot. Will it go well? The poster image can be seen below... We also announce the fil

Well. That's it. The first HUGE milestone is behind us. 100 Episodes and now, it's business as usual as we fire into our next century with EPISODE 101!  So, with that in mind, we thought now would be a good time to bring back one of our favourite guests. You may remember her from WAY back in Episode 13, where she defended Johnny Mnemonic. She is the director of the excellent IMITATION GIRL and the upcoming LUCKY... It is, of course, Natasha Kermani! Her chosen film? Æon Flux! Natasha continues her hot streak of selecting dystopian, or in this case utopian, sci-fi flicks with this one from director Karyn Kusama, who has gone on to make far better films such as Jennifer's Body, The Invitation and Destroyer. Based on an MTV animated series and the victim of intense studio meddling, Æon Flux was received poorly on release... but is this reputation deserved?  Æon Flux also features an incredible cast which includes Charlize Theron in the titular role, Jonny Lee Miller, Pete Postlethwaite, Sophie Okonedo and

So that's that, then. 100 Episodes in the bag. We have crested that hill!  Huge thanks to everyone who joined us for our Podbean exclusive LOCKDOWN LIVE show on Friday. We think it was MOSTLY a success. We are planning a LIVE watch-along in the coming weeks and hope that you join us for that. OH! Massive thanks to renowned snake lover Jill Gevargizian for this week's audio message! So, MINISODE 101, then! Topics this week include Shudder's HISTORY OF HORROR with Eli Roth, the last of CURSED FILMS, THE FURIES and THE LANDLORD, while there's news on Smoky Thriller Fridays and Mitch continues his 90s side-quest with DER TODESKING! Also, there's another installment of MITCH'S PITCHES!  Due to his well documented ignorance towards films, Mitch is shown a film poster with all titles, taglines etc removed and tasked with attempting to decipher the plot. Will it go well? The poster image can be seen below... We also announce the film and guest for this week's main episode. It's something a little bit differe

Wow. We made it. 100 Episodes. Actually, it's more like 215 or so, including minisodes and bonusodes. That's all because of you, the listener. YOU make this show worthwhile and we thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for your support and enthusiasm.  In an ideal world, we would have done this episode in person, as a proper LIVE show but this will have to suffice. So here it is. Our 100th MAIN episode. Recorded live on Podbean's live thingy (so please excuse ropey sound etc), it's Andy's choice. His chosen film? Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night 2! The synopsis is as follows:  On Prom Night in 1957, young Mary Lou Maloney was burned alive in a horrific accident after a prank went drastically wrong. High school principal Bill Nordham has kept his secret for thirty years, that he was the one responsible for Mary Lou's death. Nordham's son begins dating the Prom Queen of 1987, Vicki Carpenter, but when Vicki discovers some old clothes in the school's costume room, she doesn't realise that they used to bel

Good morning! Here we are again, butting into your Tuesday! Apologies but we are here to dispense some instructions for this week's LIVE episode.  If you haven't heard this week's Minisode, you might not yet know that we are doing a live, interactive episode at 8pm (UK TIME) on FRIDAY, 1st MAY where the guest will (hopefully) be YOU, our listeners! The film? HELLO MARY LOU: PROM NIGHT 2!  So, how will this work? Details below!  1: Watch "HELLO MARY LOU: PROM NIGHT 2" - It's pretty easy to get your hands on. It's on Amazon Prime in the UK.  2: Download the Podbean app from Google Play or the App Store. 3: Keep an eye on our social media for the Live Room link.  4: Be ready to roll at 8PM UK TIME! 5: If you want to call in LIVE to the show, you will need headphones with a microphone.  6: Crack a beer, settle in, get involved and ENJOY! There will be a Mitch's Pitch and PERHAPS something to giveaway...? Hope to see you there!  Please note that this podcast may contain strong language and even st

Wow. Exactly two years to the day since we released MINISODE 0... here we are now on Minisode 100! What a strange and bizarre ride it's been so far and we want to thank YOU, the listener, for without you, what would be the point in any of this? We also want to thank all of our guests for taking a punt on this sill show. Every. One. A. Hero. Massive thanks too to all the festivals, PR firms and distributors (particularly our pals at Arrow Video) for their support. You're all amazing and this means the world to us both.  So that's the first 100 (or 212 if you include this one, all the other minisodes and bonusodes). Here's to the next hundred. I hope you join us.  Topics this week include Russian madness in director Kirill Sokolov's outstanding feature debut WHY DON'T YOU JUST DIE?, Mitch continues CURSED FILMS with better results and Shudder exclusive short film BLANKETYY, there's news on Smoky Thriller Fridays and Mitch continues his 90s side-quest with BODY BAGS! Also, there's another installment of MIT

ATTENTION. THIS IS EPISODE 99. That's right. If you are in the 100% club, listening to this will mean you have listened to 211 episodes of this show and us rambling a lot of pish for over two years! All this AND a pandemic related lockdown? You lucky people.  Anyway, our guest this week is a horror writer, an occasional doer of musical things and one of the hosts of the podcast STRONG LANGUAGE & VIOLENT SCENES... (lol) It's MITCH BAIN! His chosen film? ZOMBEAVERS! This nippy little slice of nonsense closed out the opening night of Frightfest 2014 and, in truth, it's a perfect film for that slot. It's a film that a boozed up Mitch responded to on the night and enjoyed on subsequent watches but what did Andy think?  A gory love letter to schlocky horror which features Sushi Girl's Cortney Palm and appearances by Bill Burr and John Mayer (yes, that John Mayer), Zombeavers doesn't outstay its welcome. What are your thoughts?  Zombeavers is currently rentable on Prime Video and there's a recently Music

How we doing? All hanging in there? Lockdown continues, for us in the UK anyway, and we continue to bring you episodes, somehow, HEROICALLY! This week... Minisode 99! Can we take a minute to look at that? Ninety-nine. Ninety-nine minisodes, over 200 recordings. Unreal. Thanks to everyone for listening, staying engaged and being hilarious. It makes it all worthwhile. We have something interesting lined up for Minisode 100.  Topics this week include grisly Netflix class commentary THE PLATFORM, godawful and rage inducing horror-lite effort THE TURNING, Andy and Mitch discuss the next film in Smoky Thriller Fridays, FANATIC, and Mitch checks out Shudder's limited docu-series CURSED FILMS! PLUS, Mitch continues his 90s side-quest with STIR OF ECHOES! Also, there's another installment of MITCH'S PITCHES!  Due to his well documented ignorance towards films, Mitch is shown a film poster with all titles, taglines etc removed and tasked with attempting to decipher the plot. Will it go well? The poster image can be

Good morning pals and welcome to this, EPISODE 98! We have just found out that we are facing down another three weeks in lockdown, AT LEAST, which is a bitter pill to swallow but, it's a necessary one. However, fear not! We will still be bringing you episodes as per the usual schedule, as we close in on Episode 100. With that in mind, we bring you the second Brad H in as many weeks... This time around, he can be found in acquisitions and Special Features Production at the AMAZING Vinegar Syndrome... (SERIOUSLY, check them out. Superb stuff) It's Brad Henderson! His chosen film? Boardinghouse! Brad schools the hosts on one of the earliest shot-on-video horror films, John Wintergate's 1982 EPIC, Boardinghouse, a wild time that is chock full of ideas... wild, out-there ideas. This one's a first watch for both Andy and Mitch. How will it go down?  The synopsis is as follows:  A boarding house is reopened years after gruesome murders were committed there. Suddenly, the body count begins once more! Huge th

Stay in and stay safe and listen to this episode, where we are joined by one of the contributors to the excellent Evolution of Horror Podcast... It's Brad Hanson! His chosen film? Troll 2! Enough said. See it. Then see the documentary Best Worst Movie! You're welcome.  The synopsis is as follows:  When young Joshua learns that he will be going on vacation with his family to a small town called Nilbog, he protests adamantly. He is warned by the spirit of his deceased grandfather that goblins populate the town. His parents, Michael and Diana, dismiss his apprehensions, but soon learn to appreciate their son's warnings.
