Bibbs and Witney are back with an all-new episode of THE ALL-NIGHTER, the podcast where they program all-night movie marathons for every occasion! One of our listeners suggested we record an ALL-NIGHTER for BLEAK WEEK, the annual celebration of the most miserable movies ever made, and we thought that was a pretty neat idea. If you want to hear about some great, and truly messed up movies, this is the podcast for you! But be warned: We do not recommend these movies for everybody. They're sad, they're upsetting, they're violent, but they're all fascinating if you're willing to take this journey.

| The Iron List #77 | The Best "Eat the Rich" Movies Ever! | 28 May 2026 | 02:43:35 | |
Because our patrons demanded it, Bibbs and Witney present their picks for THE BEST "EAT THE RICH" MOVIES EVER on an all-new IRON LIST podcast! Lots of movies are about wealthy villains, but the "Eat the Rich" genre is nastier than that, and focuses on rich monsters who get what's coming to them, or are presented as such slimy monsters that the audience knows exactly who they're supposed to hate. "Eat the Rich" movies can be outrageous, and they can be cathartic, and Bibbs and Witney think these are the very, very best of the genre!

Because our patrons demanded it, Bibbs and Witney are trying something new this month! Usually our hosts each present their own top ten "best of" list, but for our 75th episode we thought we'd mix it up a bit.

Including his TV movies, his anthology film, and his two episodes of [checks notes] MASTERS OF HORROR!
