While there are new movies that are fun and enjoyable, they just don‘t have the same impact as the movies we remember as kids/teenagers.
So, we figured we were not alone in our nostalgia and created a podcast to entertain people who feel the same as us.
We will talk about what made certain movies so memorable. We will talk about a movie so cheesy but still makes us smile. We will share a memory of watching a movie for the first time.

The final selection for "The Month of Pete" is completely banana pants. It's bloody. It's weird. It's nonsensical. It's outrageous. It's a little naughty. It's ROBOGEISHA!!! If you like Japanese splatter films like Machine Girl and Meatball Machine than you're in for a treat. No joke. This one is really weird and the boys should be thankful I didn't make them watch Takashi Miike's Gozu instead. Boob guns! Butt swords. Circular Saw Jaw! A geisha that turns into a tank and crawls up a building! Temple Kaiju! What's not to love?

*Spoiler Alert*!!! This description and episode will spoil the movie if you haven't seen it!....you've been warned!
One Cut of the Dead
Pete's third selection of the take-over month was a bit of a bait and switch. While not necessarily a "horror movie" it is a movie about making a horror movie. "One Cut of the Dead" is a delightful and hilarious independent film from Japan. Made for about $25,000, the film went on to make over $25 million globally. The highlight of the film is the 37 minute one-shot to open the movie and while the second act was a slog to get through, the final payoff is magical. The biggest surprise of this episode is Nate's M. Night Shyamalan twist at the end. One Cut of the Dead is a HUGE recommend from Pete but what do the guys think about it?

Join Nate and Charlie as they try to sneak a special interview episode past Pete this month. The guys are joined by Brandon Rhiness who wrote and directed the movie 'Grotesque' now available on Tubi (man we love Tubi). Brandon talks about how this movie came to be, some behind the scenes info, as well as his career up to this point. Both Charlie and Nate really enjoyed the movie and have a blast digging into the creation of the character Mildred and all of the chaos that ensues after her "surgery".
Bonus: we find out some info on how movies get picked up for Tubi!
There are some mild spoilers in this episode but we definitely recommend you go watch 'Grotesque' 2022 so you can enjoy the glee we all had talking about the surprisingly high body count!

Greetings, listeners.
Our Grand Evil Overlord and Nate (I need to come up with a cooler name for Nate than “Nate.” Boooring) foolishly turn the reigns of the podcast over to me 'Pete' for the month of February. To what nonsense will I subject their unprepared brains? To start off, I felt like I needed to class this joint up and introduce an award-winning Indie film from France called Raw. Arguably (and we did) more of a coming of age than horror, Raw is powerful, beautiful and horrifying. Despite it’s slow pace, Raw is a strong recommend if you’re looking for something different from the mainstream horror.

In a world where sequels run rampant, three knuckleheads couldn’t contain themselves to make a nice and casual anniversary episode. Why is it whenever there’s a mountain of bodies to count it’s always these three? Can they not go one anniversary episode without death and destruction in their wake? What the hell is even happening in Missing in Action?!!!
Tune in for the explosive finale to our two year anniversary Q&A episode! As always a huge thank you to everyone that’s ever gave us a chance, we are beyond humble for all the support you've given us. We hope you enjoy these two-parter episodes, and look forward to bringing you another year of carnage and laughter!
Stick around after the credits for Nick Fury recruiting us at the end of the episode. Oh wait… I mean the bloopers.

Well...we've made it another year apparently, what started out as just a fun hobby has now turned into a labor of love. Alot has changed in two years but somehow we've managed to keep pushing forward and growing as a podcast and building a fantastic community around us. So this week we reached out to you the fans and gave you the opportunity to ask us anything at all while we review the Chuck Norris classic 'Missing in Action'. As it turns out it was way too much to fit into one episode so for our second anniversary we give you our very first two part episode.
We hope you all enjoy the chaos that ensues and make sure to come back and check out the second part of our Q&A Special Anniversary Episode!!!

For Charlie's final birthday pick he stayed on the nostalgia path and picked a horror movie that he had a strong connection to....'Tales From the Crypt: Demon Knight'. Growing up watching the TV series and Saturday morning cartoon as an early teen meant that when a full length feature film was announced that there was no way Charlie wasn't going to watch it. We also find out a shocking revelation from Nate concerning this movie as well!
So hit that play button Boils and Ghouls to get transported back to when practical effects were king and Billy Zane was the smoothest, coolest horror movie villain of the 90s!
Frights! Camera! Hacktion!!!!! HEHEHEHEHHAAAA!!!!!

It's that time of year again, Charlie's birthday has rolled back around and this year and he brought what is possibly the pinnacle of his childhood action movie favorites..... Masters of the Universe!!! While this podcast always has a foot in the nostalgia pool this episode the guys jump off the high dive into pure unadulterated wholesome nostalgia. Pete and Nate were definitely not surprised for the wave of love Charlie has for this live action adaptation of his hero He-Man. They were however caught a little off guard (as was Charlie) at how strong that wave actually is and how its still a cultural and personal icon for him. We even come up with our own He-man characters for each other and ourselves!
So please take a trip to our past and enjoy as we cover Masters of the Universe.....Good Journey!!!!!

The gang is all here!
For the first time ever the entire party was able to watch a movie together. A pact was made many months ago to cover Puppet Master 2 the next time we were altogether. Covid, random illnesses, and even Southwest wasn’t going to stop this from happening!.... Though some had succeeded in the past. Tune in to hear all about the misfortunes and triumphs to finally make this happen!
