Episode 29: Return of the Living Dead 3

Wednesday, March 18, 2026 • Duration 01:01:16

Love hurts… but in this movie, it really hurts.

In this episode, we dive deep into Return of the Living Dead 3, the sequel that took a sharp turn from comedy into something darker, sadder, and far more disturbing. Blending zombie horror with tragic romance and brutal body horror, this entry stands out as one of the most unique films in the Return of the Living Dead series.

With its unforgettable performance by Melinda Clarke and a story that leans into obsession, addiction, and decay, Return of the Living Dead 3 transforms a cult franchise into something unexpectedly emotional — and deeply unsettling.

Join us as we break down the film’s tonal shift, its wild practical effects, and why this sequel has earned a loyal cult following over the years.

Episode 28: Heretic

Thursday, March 5, 2026 • Duration 01:19:35

Two missionaries knock on the wrong door… and step into a theological nightmare.

In this episode, we dive deep into Heretic, the slow-burn psychological horror that traps belief, doubt, and manipulation inside a single house and lets the tension suffocate the room. Powered by a chilling performance from Hugh Grant, Heretic trades jump scares for intellectual dread, turning conversation into combat and faith into a weapon.

We break down the film’s themes of control, skepticism, and spiritual vulnerability, unpack the layered dialogue, and explore why this might be one of the most unsettling horror films in recent years.

Episode 27: Friday the 13th Part VII

Saturday, February 14, 2026 • Duration 01:29:33

Crystal Lake gets a psychic upgrade… and Jason Voorhees finally meets an opponent who can fight back without ever lifting a machete.

In this episode, we dive deep into Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood, the sequel that threw telekinesis into the franchise blender and created one of the most unique showdowns in slasher history.

With a supernatural final girl, ambitious practical effects, and famously censored kills, Part VII is a fascinating “what could’ve been” chapter in Jason’s reign of terror. Join us as we break down the film’s production struggles, the lost gore trimmed by the MPAA, and why the psychic vs. slasher concept still makes this sequel stand out from the pack decades later.
