  • Ep. 133: Longlegs (2024)
    Nov 23 2024

    Daddy...those gross guys are back again...

    This week, Matt and Cody and Anthony and Oz and Ruby and Ruth and Harker and Agent...uhhh Carter take a polaroid of the year in Horror by concluding their 2024 run with the GOAT (worshipping) Longlegs! The boys talk about marketing and expectations, what to expect when you release the Cage, and how prevalent the devil is in those details. They also go off on where the plot falls, the dolls under the halls, and you guessed it, contaminated balls.

    Consider this their Thanksgiving episode and they brought a turkey you won't soon forget.

  • Ep. 132: Oddity (2024)
    Nov 16 2024

    You've heard of a wooden performance but this is ridiculous.

    This week, Cody and Matt begin renovations on their new Irish castle and discover one of this year's most overlooked hits! They discuss clever dialogue, effective narrative threads, and the fine art of weaving different types of horror together cohesively. On top of all that, the boys also discuss what they claim to be some of the greatest scares of the year while debating the usefulness of an Irish hole. That's... not what it sounds like.

    Pack up your wooden man and head for the hills because things are about to get odd!

    Nov 9 2024

    Overtake! Overtake!

    This week, Matt and Cody are in the calm before the storm and jumping into the bed of a truck towards the end of the world! The boys talk all about "oners", drug laden youths, and the contagion subgenre, while also having a field day with nosy neighbors, impossible devices, cool cars, and even find time to break out their maybe definitely not French accents. Don't worry, they go all out over theories of the outbreak, the terror of being interrupted at karaoke, and the origins of Al, famously of the Canal.

    No paprika was harmed during the making of this episode...THEY ASSUME!

    Nov 2 2024

    Help them! Help them! They're still podcasting!

    This week, Cody and Matt enter the Midnight Realm and go toe-to-toe with Mr. Melancholy over the latest feature film from director Jane Shoenbrun. They discuss the relationship between nostalgia and media, the dizzying perspective of alternate realities, and the benefit of queer and trans voices in the horror medium. The boys also spar over stylistic direction while trying to figure out which one of them is Marco and which is Polo.

    Don't sit too close to the screen, you'll mess up your eyes!

  • Ep. 129: Night of the Demons (1988)
    Oct 26 2024

    "Happy Halloween, dear..."

    It's part two of the Night Howls annual Howl-o-ween Double Feature and these films are bringing double the night, double the demons, and double the howls. This week, Matt and Cody cover a staple of the 80's video nasties with Angela, Suzanne, and other character names the boys still can't get right. They talk all about the Goth Glam of Angela and the lack thereof for the other characters. But it's not all bad, they have a lot to say about grosteque monster effects, deadly places to boink, next-level spooky atmosphere, homages to other classics, and one of the most shocking last-minute Fred Gwynne wins ever covered.

    Give us a hand or at least an ear. It's time to celebrate the most wonderful time of year!

    Thanks for listening!

  • Ep. 128: Night of the Demon (1957)
    Oct 26 2024

    Curses! It's Halloween and you've got an appointment... with a Demon!

    This week, Cody and Matt place a hex on each other with a double feature straight from Hell. First, they discuss the mystery of Stonehenge, the danger of downed telephone lines, and proper airplane etiquette. They also mull over the fears of children and the influence mysticism has on the horror genre. If that isn't enough for you, they've got a cult leader with suspiciously textured facial hair to discuss named Karswell... or Carsdale... or Karnsdale...

    What? Were you looking for a Halloween miracle? They still can't remember anyone's name.

    Thanks for listening!

    Oct 19 2024

    Here, killer killer!

    This week, Matt and Cody have one of their loudest discussions about one of the quietest movies they've ever covered. The boys talk all about the home invasion sub-genre, the power couple that is Mike Flanagan and Kate Siegel, and how to make a simple story feel complex. Not to mention: bitchy cats, burglar tats, and questionable strat...egies. Plus! Stay tuned for the latter half to hear the special Beyond Fest Q+A for all of the fun behind the scenes you could want.

    Oct 12 2024

    You better watch out...

    Toss out those jack-o'-lanterns and slam the door on those trick or treaters because we're about to have a bloody good Christmas. This week, Cody and Matt check their stockings and discuss ferocious filmmaking ,narrative nuances, and grotesque gore. As expected, the boys go all out on Art the Clown while discussing physical bits, comic timing, and how David Howard Thornton has earned his place in horror history.

    With Art, every list is a naughty list... and you're on it!

    Thanks for listening!
