We apologize for posting late again. It turns out reviewing 46 short films (or whatever) is a lot of work.. who would’a thunk it? But, we’re back with Part 2 of our Adult Swim Infomercial adventure; well, two of us anyway. Buggy’s South American exploits continue. This week we’ll be discussing worm people, skin removal, a nuclear apocalypse, professional wrestlers, and much more. Most importantly, we recap our top ten horror recommendations from this bucket of viscera. Thank y’all for sticking with us through this experiment. We’ll get back to regular programming on the flip side.

Do you often find yourself awake at 4:00 am watching random television through blurry eyes while only half paying attention? If so, maybe you’ve encountered an oddity or two that scrambled your mind. On this episode, two of your least favorite Dirt Dogs venture into unprecedented territory, exploring haunted hotels and casinos, farting helicopters, dog-men, evil doppelgangers and sitcom theme songs that go on way too long. If you haven’t guessed, we are on a gem hunt in the universe of Adult Swim’s late night Infomercials. Do any of these short comedy programs hit the horror notes we’re looking for? And, what exactly is a hillbilly reach around? You might even get a little Twin Peaks banter and a phone call from our missing co-host Buggy.

Better late then never- unless you’ve already passed stage one (hallucinations), stage two (glandular), and moved on to stage three-AAAAH! AAAAH! (Insert car crash here). Wait, where are we? Oh! It’s Gem Hunt! This week the Dirt Dogs are getting up to some pharmaceutical fun, with 1993’s Body Melt. Strap yourselves in for a wild ride full of injections, snot, and yokels. Gem? Turd? How many points is an exploding boner?

Welcome to Gem Hunt TV week. The Dirt Dogs are live on prime time! That’s a lie.. we’re actually going back in time to check out the made-for-tv horror flick Deadly Messages from 1985. Get ready for ouija boards, 80’s misogyny, and a killer that looks suspiciously like the Terminator. The Fam also delivers on their promise to recap their favorite horror screenings from October. Let’s hope nobody suffers from amnesia during this episode.. And, we apologize for the bad news.

The Dirt Dogs are back, well actually we’ve been here all along, but we have been dealing with a 1,000 day curse brought on by a rival family! What a coinky-dink! This week’s movie, Sewu Dino (2023), from Indonesia, has a similar plot line. Gem? Turd? Are families the actual curse? Tune in to find out, and enjoy our pre-election banter. Things are going great!

Kids, they’re what’s for dinner… Or maybe kids are the future of the horror genre if their stick-in-the-mud parents would just give them a nudge in the right direction. Luckily, Buggy’s parents gave her that nudge, and this week the Dirt Dog Family reviews one of Buggy’s favorite childhood classics, Mad Monster Party. Let’s kick off Horror October with a bit of fun! The whole gang is here for this one, including Dracula, the Wolfman, the Mummy, Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde; and a whole lot more. Stick around for a review of what your hosts have been digging up so far in October, and don’t forget: It’s your time to shine!

We made it to episode 10 y’all! It’s some kind of milestone. In honor of the achievement the Dirt Dog family tackles a double feature. Lube up your minds and jam out with your hosts for this special music themed episode featuring the British film Reverb and the cyberpunk obscurity Decoder from West Germany. We got shaggy haircuts, digital farts, demonic invocations, meat tubes, revolutionary cassette tapes and genital surgery footage. Will the fam finally dig up a turd or two? Also, stick around for a preview of what’s in store for October. Shits about to get wild.

It's family fun week at Gem Hunt! Join the Dirt Dogs as they dive deep into sisterhood, animal husbandry, and science(?). Directed by Karen Arthur in 1978, The Mafu Cage features the incredible hair and talent of all-fam favorite Carol Kane! Gem? Turd? Deviation? Listen to find out!
