Two drippy knuckleheads go on stiltingly at length about a movie about a variety of drippy knuckleheads doing stuff? Nah, just kidding! It's another scholarly deep dive into the overlooked marginalia and mise-en-scène hidden behind every frame of every shot of every horror film pretending not to be an exemplar of high art. That's right, it's Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast, and this time we're covering Macon Blair's 2023 remake of The Toxic Avenger, starring Naomi Watts!

What happens when a spoiled no-talent musician is told by his paid support network that he'd be great at making movies despite not actually being very familiar with cinema? You can a the Durstiest of all episodes of Loathsome Things: A Biscuit-limpening podcast wherein two old fat white dudes pretend to operate a podcast while complaining about things of no interest to listeners and also maybe talking about horror movies or something and somehow managing to be very insulting to everyone along the way while also forgetting to make a joke about how much better this movie would have been if Jonathan Davis directed it. That's right, take your green pill, mutha funkees, it's time to go American all over nobody's butt cheeks! Oh, and also read this award-winning poem by ICE-murdered poet and former human being Renee Good: On Learning to Dissect Fetal Pigs by Renée Nicole Macklin

One step forward, two steps back for humanity, here we go! It's Lucky McKee's greatest sequel, full of ooey, gooey masculinity troubles, lady troubles, and socket troubles. Everything's problematic on this episode of Loathsome Things: the best podcast to listen to if you're sad.

A movie about people saying “La Fin Absolue Du Monde” as many times as possible in 59 minutes while a baby-faced Norman Reedus has a Eurotrash adventure across beautiful Vancouver, Canada, at the behest of Udo Keir’s poorly-decorated ambitions! Meta-commentary about the film business abounds in this gory movie-about-a-movie-that’s-more-than-a-movie. And for our Star Trek fans, there a special appearance from none other than B'Etor/Chief Examiner Nimira’s own Gwynyth Walsh. Join us as we review this episode of Masters of Horror in the latest installment of Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast!

We watched the absurdist masterpiece and reputed first horror film from Brazil, both directed by and starring the big, strong man himself, Coffin Joe.

Gareth Evans told us to try a new recording software, so the audio sounds a bit like we travelled to a low-tech island where the good Lord has been usurped by some kind of gauzy vineyard witchiness. Wait, maybe I’m getting some details confused. Dan Stevens, Kristine Froseth, Mark Lewis Jones, Lucy Boynton, Michael Sheen star in this long, complex horror film about the aforementioned actors having to band together to prevent Iko Uwais from getting to the top of the fertility goddess’ high-rise… wait… Ok, I think I got confused again, either that or I just came up with a great movie pitch guest-starring Tony Jaa!

Just after adapting Salem’s Lot for television and just before directing the music video for Billy Idol’s Dancing with Myself, Tobe Hooper returned to the fringes of Southern Gothic-in-retrograde murdery wetness with this solid update on the Quasimodo/Frankenstein’s Monster story by way of David Lynch’s The Elephant Man. Clean the cotton candy off your fingers and join us for a drippy dive into the schlocky wonder of Dennis Hopper’s… I mean, Tobe Hooper’s The Funhouse (1981), possibly most-popular among folks image-searching “Elizabeth Berridge nude.”

John and Josh wax poetic about George A Romero, zombie movies, and how these topics played a role in each of us becoming fans of Horror movies as a genre. In honor of the brilliance that is Night of the Living Dead, we’ve recorded this episode with minimal scripting and editing. If you haven’t seen it yet, watch it. It’s a great movie!

Wow! This classic manages to swaddle some truly transgressive, squirm-inducing discomfort in the gauzy warmth of William Asher’s 1950s-60s television eyeball. I don’t know what’s happening to my body, but I don’t like it. For a good time, watch this movie starring Jimmy McNichol, Bo Svenson, Julia Duffy, Steve Eastin, and an unfathomably epic performance from Susan Tyrell. Also, an early-career appearance by "William" Bill Paxton, because Billy needed to be menaced by more enemies!

Blumhouse Productions and Sophia Takal bring the feminism back to Black Christmas and… well, they really do it up. Imogen Poots and Cary Elwes go toe-to-toe in this college campus slasher/revenge/Buffy-style flick that's more of a set-piece upcycle than an actual reimagining of the original. If you’re trying to mask how fragile your masculinity is, you might want to skip this one, bro!

Two slim, lithe, youthful, excitable, exuberant, perky, naked, lesbian, erotic, sexy, hot, teen, shrill, possessed nuns have to figure out what kind of a movie they're supposed to be in between bouts of directionless shrieking, tit-play, and unleashing the full bush. It's one of the originals of nunsploitation, it's very nearly unbearable to watch, and John and Josh both loved it, as did Guillermo del Toro, so we made fun of him for having bad taste. That's the level of quality you've come to demand of Loathsome Things: The Only Horror Movie Podcast named after a line in a poem that has nothing to do with poetry.

Wow! Olivia Hussey, Keir Dullea, Margot Kidder and Andrea Martin star in this absolute Horror masterpiece from the same director and year as Deathdream: Bob Clark. I don’t understand how Black Christmas and A Christmas Story came from the same director. Put on your Gender Studies goggles and join us for a dive into the greatest Christmas movie of all time! Content Warning: "The C-word" shows up in the movie, and is quoted in the episode, as is an out-of-nowhere unpleasant remark about rape.

A Japanese romantic horror movie that gave Josh an excuse to say “onomatopoeia?” Awesome! This icky, chunky film had John and Josh split: is it feminist? Is it misogynist? Is it nihilist? Who can say? Well, two white guys with zero expertise on the matter, that’s who! Join us for a foot-flinging good time in this gory import.

What if Dean Koontz was a Vietnam vet with trouble remembering the name of the AK-47, a very bland collection of plunging V-neck sweaters, a weird thing for little boys, and a flippin’ sweet real estate inheritance?

Welcome to the show notes for the tenth episode of the Loathsome Things Podcast!

A soldier’s mother prays for him to return, first from Vietnam, then from death’s cold embrace… and then he does. Yay, what a heart-warming story! Oh wait, no, this movies spirals into a fantastic exploration of the Laocoön-edged destruction visited upon real male bodies as part of the impossible expectations of war-time masculinity. It’s Bob Clark’s forgottish masterpesque, Deathdream (or “Dead of Night”), released the same year as his magnum opus, Black Christmas.

If you would like to recommend a movie, share neat trivia, tell Josh where he’s heard the “Right Bob” soundbite, or tell us about the things we over-appreciated or under-appreciated about this movie, you can do so by reaching out to us on Twitter: @LoathsomePod Instagram: @LoathsomePod Facebook: @LoathsomePodcast

Welcome to the show notes for the ninth episode of the Loathsome Things Podcast!

A desperate ex-con shows up at a sweet old lady’s house disguised as a plumber. What happens next may shock you… Nah! This little gem went from conception to screening in five weeks, all with no budget. It’s an extraordinary little achievement in movie-making. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a masterpiece. But then again, neither is this episode! Grab your most Canadian possessions and join us as we watch Matt Mercer and Mike Testin’s Dementia: Part II!

Welcome to the show notes for the eighth episode of the Loathsome Things Podcast!

An aspiring actor and a budding scientist are on a romantic road-trip through American farmlandia. But, wouldn’t you know it, through a combination of car trouble and a get-off-my-landish nookie reception, our heroes find themselves in need of the use of a sweet old lady’s phone. The good news is, she’s very hospitable and kind. The bad news is, this devolves into delightful chunks of horror movie madness. It’s Honeydew, a movie named that for some reason!

If you would like to recommend a movie, tell us why meat is murder, talk about your favorite song “Purpiceps, Molly Purpiceps,” or just share in the relieved glee of watching a good movie and getting Intersect firmly into the rearview mirror, you can do so by reaching out to us on Twitter: @LoathsomePod Instagram: @LoathsomePod Facebook: @LoathsomePodcast

What does Planet of the Apes and a Van Helsing analog traveling to Transylvania have in common with titanium orgy werewolves and bad mod music? Apparently, it's Sybil Danning getting topless only once, and yet also somehow 18 times. That doesn't make sense, and yet you'll understand exactly what that means when you tune in to this episode of Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast that continues to compare nipples to pizza toppings out of solidarity with the ladies.

Welcome to the show notes for the seventh episode of the Loathsome Things Podcast!

Three grad students at Miskatonic University’s Temporal Studies department have uncovered the secret of time travel! Sounds like an awesome premise for a movie, right? Oh, dear Cthulhu, why? If you thought the deer deity in Black Mountain Side was unimpressive to look at, just wait until you catch a glimpse of Nate. Cozy up with the one you love and plunge your sensory organs deep into the unpleasant depths of Gus Holwerda’s disasterpiece: Intersect!

Welcome to the show notes for the sixth episode of the Loathsome Things Podcast!

In the northern Taiga Cordillera, some dudes found something strange between bouts of playing cards and drinking, so they did the only natural thing to do: get some other dude to come here. Enter Black Mountain Side, a movie that, at its heart, is about male friendship, fellowship, and camaraderie. Also getting in on the feel-good action is a Lovecraftian deity that manifests as a deer standing up on its hind (get it!) legs. What a wacky crew! Go enjoy yourself a watch of this lovely low-budget flick, then listen in as we discuss all the zany antics in this episode of Loathsome Things!

Welcome to the show notes for the fifth episode of the Loathsome Things Podcast!

In this episode we discourse the original Thing that would later be adapted by John Carpenter to create one of the greatest, if not the greatest, horror movies of all time. The Thing from Another World is a black-and-white classic about soldiers fighting the twin evils of an invasive alien plant-monster and the scientists that wish to study them. If that doesn’t sound like your thing, you might enjoy all the self-congratulatory white people business or the amazing scene were EVERYTHING IS ON FIRE! Watch this movie before you listen to the podcast.

Welcome to the show notes for the Fourth episode of the Loathsome Things Podcast!

We watched the under-the-radar sensation that some people are calling “The Empty Man.” Going by the trailer, this movie is a dumb pile of ass. But, after actually watching the movie, this movie kind of kicks asses into a pile. It starts off in the mountains of Bhutan and ends up in … sleepy, small-town Missouri. Along the way, there’s plenty of wet-teeth noises, solidly unsettling business, something about a teddy bear, adults lurking outside of high schools to lure young girls (or women) into their cars with the promise of cigarettes, references to at least two philosophers, a surprise Stephen Rooting, and a fantastic sense of looming doom! Watch it before you listen!

Welcome to the show notes for the third episode of the Loathsome Things Podcast!

For this episode, we reviewed Nicolas Roeg’s Don’t Look Now. This classic horror movie centers on the characters portrayed by Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie: a married adult couple that find it much easier to talk to, talk about, think about, and run around as in some sort of game with the spirit of their dead child, rather than their only living offspring. Set in the “someone’s gotta clean that aquarium” era of Venice, this film takes its time allowing the viewer to build a relationship to the characters, including a really wild sex scene where, you know, they do it. This is really more of a Drama film until the final 10 minutes, where it surprised audiences with one of the twistiest twist endings in cinema history. This movie's influence on Horror cannot be overstated… well, I guess it can. BUT, you can see its influence most brazenly appearing in David Cronenberg’s The Brood and M. Night Shyamalan’s The Sixth Sense.

If you would like to recommend a movie, share your experience of seeing this film for the first time, tell us we’ve mis-spoken this movie’s title, criticize Josh’s obviously not-sincere rating of this film, or chase us around the moldering nighttime of Venice like a lanky creeper, you can do so by reaching out to us on Twitter: @LoathsomePod Instagram: @LoathsomePod Facebook: @LoathsomePodcast

Welcome to the show notes for the second episode of the ground-breaking, teeth-gnashing, future award-losing Loathsome Things Podcast! The best podcast about horror movies! For this episode, we reviewed Frank Henenlotter’s Basket Case. This fever dream of a movie is an absolute assault on the one’s better judgement, resulting in maniacal humor, passages of violent low-budget greatness, and a unique style that threatens the viewer with a higher plane of absurd horror movie bliss. This combination lulls an audience into a false sense of good cheer, before throwing that good mood out the window with some shockingly horrific scenes. For a movie that is so enjoyable and full of good humor, it gets REALLY DARK. Content Warning: In addition to the sort of violence and menace you would expect from a standard horror film, Basket Case portrays surgical assault on children, sexual assault, rape and/or necrophilia. Yikes! To see what Frank Henenlotter is up to, please follow him here: https://www.facebook.com/frank.henenlotter Note: We recorded this episode before the movie was made available on a certain horror streaming service.

Herein John and Josh, two dudes who love horror movies, review Elle Callahan’s Head Count, an independent horror film wherein a bunch of youths alternate between substance amusements, awkward sexual tensions, unenthusiastic outdoor recreation, and general in-house pastiming with spookity occurrences therein.

To learn more about this film’s director, and find a link where you can watch Head Count for free(!), please visit her website: http://www.ellecallahan.com.

The epitome of 21st century takes on 20th century _ from space movies, this James Gunn classic references Henelotter, Tremors, The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China, The Toxic Avenger, Goosebumps, Alien, Predator, Society, Shivers, and possibly even Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The make-up and practical effects pair perfectly with 2006's digital effects and the over-the-ham acting of Nathan Fillion, Elizabeth Banks, Michael Rooker, and Gregg Henry. This one will fill you up to bursting but still leave you hungry for more!

One of the most entertaining horror movies seen by this podcast. OMG.

At the intersection of feminism and cryptozoology, you'll find many a shattered and sympathetic character, along with more than your typical number of meta-physical portals to other realities and men trying to keep you from realizing your inner power. There's also an abundance of white, murky slime and confusingly sensual canals. Learn the deepest secrets of womanhood while listening to two overweight bearded men sigh and wheeze on this most liberal agenda'd episode of Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast that believes women.

It's gory, it's slimy, it's nasty, it's transgressive, it's not E.T., not Alien, not The Brood, but also not a lot of movies that came after it. What is it? It's Xtro and the latest episode of Loathsome Things: The Worst Podcast about Horror Movies!

For our next creative writing exercise, we're going to explore a social occasion you're familiar with. Think of a time you spent with other people where you made yourself or were made emotionally vulnerable, then launch away from the factuality of that occasion, and instead pilot it towards the style of storytelling you've been most interested in lately and stretch the truth you remember with the truth you're trying to achieve. It's another episode of Loathsome Things: a podcast for emerging writers and authors to find their voice, find themselves, and find greater success in the literary world.

This time-a-rooski, we reviewed the first film to be shot in Raymond Spottiswoode's "Depth Dimension" 3-D. It's a nutty little Canadian flick about that new-fangled "psychiatry" my loved ones won't stop going on about, and boy does this movie display a firm grasp over what that is! What we have here is a visual effects buffet sandwiched between long bouts of really crap 1961 people having terrible movie scenes together. This one is totally worth your time, so tune in to Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast for scaredy cats like you and your cat to listen to together in the dark instead of facing your inner demons!

We kept up our annual tradition of visiting a Frankenlotter... Frank Hookenl... Frank Henenlotter folm, film. A Frank Henenlotter film. This time, it's Frankenhanker... Frankenhooker. Dear God, what's wreng woth me on the newest episode of Loathsome Things: A Great Horror Movie Podcast to Listen To While You Sleep

This one is basically a long episode of Star Trek with rad costumes, wild set design,  huge donut-with-a-bite-taken-out spaceships, and some gigantic alien cadavers of a long-lost species. Oh yeah, and a tuning fork. It's Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast IN SPACE!

A rare entry to our dislustrious "DO NOT WATCH" list, this penultimate Hammer film has a cool demon puppet, great Christopher Lee face stuff, a top-notch crucifix, and some stuff I won't type because that's not the type of searches we want to be a result for. It's bad. Do yourself a favor by just listening to us and not watching the movie!

You can't get much more Loathsome than The Thing, itself. You've got action, comedy, explosions, the greatest practical monster effects showcase, and the very most good boy in movie history. Go watch the movie again, it's totally worth it!

Join us for our grand 100th episode, wherein we cover the folk horror of all folk horrors, The Wicker Man!!

Sorry about the previous audio version. How's this?

A Stephen King novel adapted for the screen, directed by David Cronenberg, and with Christopher Walken playing the main character. Surely this is a recipe for an out-of-this-world amazing horror cinema experience... right?  Johnny Walken Black wakes up with low-grade molestation powers and angles his career toward spending alone time with children while folks at the highest levels of society disregard his scams, or maybe he can see the future when people will die... or sometimes the past when someone who was thought dead didn't die? It doesn't matter, what matters is that I'm getting something, someone important to you wants to tell you something. Do these words mean anything to you? "Loathsome Things: A Podcast You Want to donate large sums of money to so you can finally know what late relative really thought of you!"

Josh woke up from a lifelong Windows-user coma and suddenly had the ability to limp along using Linux! Will it impact the audio quality of this episode? Wait and see! And by "wait and see" I mean "make haste and listen now!"
