Horror B-Sides: Mimic (1997)

Leave a comment

A creature feature with human-sized bugs eating people in subways seems like it was tailor-made for the talents of Guillermo Del Toro, but alas, that is not what we got. Mimic should have been so much better than it was, but its parts did not work together to create a cohesive whole. We break down all the things that didn’t work, and point out some of the Del Toro staples that could have been so much more if…well…there had been so much more.

Leave a comment

After a bit of a forced hiatus, we’re back and excited to take a deep dive into what we think will be an awesome month of films. The theme is Horror B-Sides, and what that means is we’re discussing some of the most famous horror directors and their “not-so-popular” fare. This week it’s Wes Craven and his Voodoo Zombie Horror Film “The Serpent and the Rainbow.” Is it a long-forgotten treasure or should it be dusted into oblivion and buried alive? Join us to find out.

Richard Donner: Lethal Weapon 2 (1989)

Leave a comment

This week on our show we brought in everyone’s favorite “Zombie Dog” Matt Dykes to talk about the next film in our Richard Donner retrospective: “Lethal Weapon 2.” We had a lot to talk about with this one, from the shoddy police work on display to the scene stealing/chewing Joe Pesci to the very nebulous villains hiding behind their diplomatic immunity. Fun film and equally fun conversation so let’s get right to it.

Richard Donner: Superman II: The Donner Cut (1980)

Leave a comment

For many of the millennial persuasion, Richard Donner is the guy who directed Superman, which in turn introduced us to the great Christopher Reeve. Due to a lot of bullshit that is well-documented elsewhere, he was removed from the sequel and Richard Lester was brought in to take his place as director. That version of the film is the version we all grew up with and for the most part loved. And then The Donner Cut came along and gave us insight into what could have been and the results are…also very damn good. We go into all of this and more so let’s not waste another minute.
