This week on an exciting new episode of Who What When Where and Why We Do in the Shadows Bryan Dressel, Matt “Djinn Zombie Dog” Dykes, and Joel “Crawler” DeWitte talk about Bryan’s favorite episode in this whole thing: Season Two’s “On the Run.” If you’ve seen it…Jackie Daytona, regular human bartender. If you haven’t seen the episode yet…get ready for Jackie Daytona, regular human bartender.
This week we’ve got quite the tearjerker for you…if you are into that sort of thing. Unfortunately we were not. That’s right folks, we’re reviewing Beaches as part of our Bette Midler retrospective. Apologies in advance if you loved or find close attachment to this particular piece of cinema, but we didn’t connect on any level. Sure, Bette Midler is great. She’s always great. Heck, her play about “Otto Titsling” is amazing. Even the set design slaps. It’s just not enough. As always, we had fun working through what worked and what didn’t and hope you’ll join us on this journey…to the beach.
It’s been a minute, but we’re back with a new and exciting episode of “Who What When Where And Why We Do in the Shadows.” This week Bryan Dressel, Matt “Nenatu Zombie Dog” Dykes, and Joel “Creeper” DeWitte discuss the highest rated episode on IMDB and an episode that perhaps feels the most “What We Do in the Shadows” in the series: Colin’s Promotion. Normally, the energy-sucking vampire takes a backseat to the rest of the gang so this is a welcome treat.
After another delay (life, eh?) we’re back with another exciting episode of Behind the Hype. We’re moving on from our lackluster horror b-sides month to something completely different in the best way. This month it’s all about Bette Midler. To kick off her awesome filmography we’ve got the film “Ruthless People,” which was quite a blast but definitely flew under some of our radars. Join us to hear about this darkly comedic film and then go check it out as well. You’ll be glad you did.
This week on Who What When Where and Why We Do in the Shadows the gang talks the S2 episode “The Curse.” Join Bryan Dressel, Joel “Homunculus” DeWitte, Drew “Dark God and Minions” Staton, and Matt “Zombie Dog The Groke” Dykes as they break down the episode and have a good laugh in the process. Is the episode as strong as the others? Does it have some missteps? You’ll have to listen to find out.
This week on another exciting and alluring episode of Who What When Where and Bryan Dressel, Joel “The Unnamable” DeWitte, Drew “Mahars” Staton, and Matt “Zombie Dog Armus” Dykes come together to talk “Brain Scramblies,” the third episode of season two of What We Do in the Shadows. Get ready to witness the Superb Owl! It’s truly incredible.
This week we wrap up our month of “Horror B-Sides” with John Carpenter’s Ghost of Mars. Okay, cards on the table. When we first thought about doing a month of movies like this, we were hoping to find some hidden gems or uncover some inexplicable blind spots. That was not the case and it’s clear to see why this film – and the others that came before it – are considered “b-sides.” There’s stuff to like in this movie, don’t get us wrong. It’s just…well…you’ll have to listen for yourselves.
Bryan Dressel, Matt “Zombie Dog Clovie” Dykes, and Drew “Scorpius” Staton come together to talk about Season 2, Episode 2 of What We Do in the Shadows, entitled “Ghosts.” A great episode introducing and featuring the best character in the entirety of the FX network. Yes, and that’s counting It’s Always Sunny. Come for the humor, stay for the possessed doll.
Welcome to another exciting episode of “Who What When Where and Why We Do in the Shadows.” Bryan Dressel, Matt “Zombie Dog Terror Dog” Dykes, and Drew “Tooth Fairy” Staton sit down to talk about episode one of season two, titled “Resurrection.” It’s a super fun episode in a really strong season of perhaps the funniest show out there.
Growing tired of our lackluster choices so far this month, we here at Behind the Hype decided to try out a different horror filmmaker’s b-sides to see if we might be able to turn this ship around. We chose Sam Raimi’s “The Gift,” which unfortunately was nowhere near as good as we had hoped and featured almost nothing that we could recognize as a Raimi’ism. It wasn’t completely terrible and had some interesting bright spots, but it’s certainly an odd duck in our month of odd duck films.
