  2. I commend you guys for sitting through these fucking pieces of trash. Every one of them is so aggressively unpleasant, I can't fathom how anyone could enjoy them.

  3. Deep Red is probably the best "in" for giallos, in my opinion. The mystery is good, its extremely watchable, if you've seen any Hitchcock or De Palma it wont seem that foreign to you, the characters motivations are clear and its just an awesome movie all around. Also its probably the scariest giallo too - the doll freaks me out. I love it!

    3. Too much Man not enough Ant!

      Sounds like a Matinee pun to me, instead I watched MANT!

  7. Maybe they'll release a 10th Anniversary edition of Mirrors next year you can get Patrick.

    Now if you'll excuse me I have to go pitch a Small Wonder reboot to Mark Jones.

  8. Leprechaun 3 was the first R-rated horror movie I ever saw. I watched it with a couple friends one summer when we were all 13 years old. That summer we watched the first four Leprechaun movies (completely out of order) and ever since then, I've been a horror fan. So these movies will always have that.

    Watching them again (and watching the latest three for the first time) was pretty rough. The first three I can tolerate for about half their running times, but by In Space and In The Hood I was legitimately hating them.

    Then came Back 2 tha Hood. Maybe it was because my expectations were so low, but I gotta say, I enjoyed that one a fair bit. Then came Origins, but the less said about that the better.

    Thank you for taking my suggestion to do these movies, but most of all, thank you for introducing me to so many BETTER horror movies.

    Happy Halloween!

  11. I knew Patrick wasn't watching Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood by choice. Looking forward to listening on the road this weekend. I'm sad to see Scary Movie Month end, it's been a blast, thank you so much.

    Best 'new to me' movies of the month: Phantom of the Paradise, John Carpenter's The Fog and Prince of Darkness, The Babadook, and Blood Rage with an outstanding commentary track. Best re-visits: Candyman, Wishmaster, Day of the Dead, Texas Chainsaw 2, and (of course) A NIghtmare on Elm Street (1984). Lows: I watched some bad stuff as well, but I enjoyed those too, even 'The Babysitter' and 'Slumber Party Massacre' have their moments.

  18. I have never seen a leprechaun movie and I don’t think I ever will but, still, I have not laughed that hard in a long time. Fantastic podcast as always. You guys do an amazing job every time. Thank you for entertaining the shit out of me on a regular basis.

  20. Mike, your Macho Man impression is simply amazing!

  21. Finally got through these and, like always, had a little more fun watching them then you guys did. I have the opposite reaction watching these in a row. It actually elevates them for me. None of them are good movies but I'm weird. I can enjoy bad things and have fun with them. Thanks for the shout out, Mike! I understand these are terrible so I would never expect anyone to like them. My threshold seems to be different than other people. I will always love these episodes and I hope you never stop doing them! I now hope you intend to do Phantasm every year and forget.
