Nightmare on 5th Street: A horror movie podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

I’m getting ready to be back in your earballs weekly and I’ve got a special bonus episode with indie director Gerardo Preciado. We dig deep into his creative process, the making of Narco Shark, and his new film trailer and campaign for TETRACTYS, his surreal and experimental horror film. 

My audio quality isn’t the best because we recorded from different countries and had some connection issues (I couldn’t mute my mic) but we had a great discussion about his work.

This week we are discussing SIX short films from six talented WOC horror creators. Due to the content of each short film, we are including both spoiler alerts and trigger and content warnings. At the end of the show notes you will find time stamps for each episode. If you feel you need to skip around, we hope this helps.

We really enjoyed being able to watch all of the shorts as each one was a unique view into each creators’ world. While some of the material was what we call “a hard watch”, we wanted to highlight these women and their films. We’re so glad that we were able to discuss these movies and we hope that you enjoy the conversation.

What do you get when you put a strong AF woman and a sexy sea creature in the same movie? A fight for survival during a shipwrecked getaway. Alma and Dalia discuss proper castaway attire and how Alma is not fit to be your survival buddy. During this week's Real World Connection we head off to Tokelau and tell the survival story of 3 teenage boys lost at sea for 51 days.

We had so much fun recording this episode. Mandao Returns is a quirky sci-fi horror comedy that follows up Mandao of the Dead. Fun movie that hit all the marks for us this week--murderous cult, astral projecting, with a Christmas backdrop. For this week's Real World Connection we have a special treat! Scott Dunn, screenwriter/director/actor of the Mandao Series and Schlep, joined us to talk about his movies, indie filmmaking, diversity & inclusivity in horror, and his upcoming projects. You can't miss this episode, tune in to get in on the conversation!

This week we watched and discuss the Mexican movie "Tigers are Not Afraid" from Mexican screenwriter director Issa Lopez. Whoo, this one is a great movie. Tons of emotion when we discuss a movie about drug cartel violence and orphaned children, but beautiful imagery and story we just had to share. For our Real World Connection we stay in Mexico City and discuss the heroics of the rescuers known as "Los Topos de Tlatelolco".

TW/CW as this movie deals with the Mexican drug cartel violence. The movie discusses and portrays the disappeared and the murder of women and children.

For TW/CW go to end of show notes for info.
This week we watched and discussed “Blood Quantum”, a zombie flick stuffed full of historical and social commentary. This indigenous take on a familiar genre not only entertained us, but got us feeling way too many feels, as Dalia says. Head shots and splashy gore bring it all together to give us a great undead tale. We loved it! For our Real World Connection, we once again get way real and discuss indigenous conscription and Canada’s ridiculous demands on the First Nations People.

We’re back with Season 2 and our special collab episode with Sade of Afro Horror. For our season 2 opener we watched and discussed “The People Under the Stairs” which is one of our all time favorites. Talk about nostaligia! This was a great way to kick off our season discussions of BIPOC voices in horror. This episode is a little different as it’s a collab which means double the fun! Or is it triple? Anyway... We get down to business and discuss the need for more diversity in horror ‘cause DUH and how a disturbing sister/brother wife/husband comedy horror movie from the 90s can be both creepy as hell and hilarious for all the right reasons. Join us for our season 2 opener and don’t forget to subscribe and leave a review!

This episode was originally released 28 January as a Bonus Episode only available on Spotify. Why? It had a fun little copyrighted song. Now we have removed the song for your listening pleasure. Oh, and ignore the TikTok talk. We don't do TikTok anymore, that project has been abandoned. Enjoy!

1958 was a good year, especially for Steve McQueen. Alma and Dalia needed a palate cleanser after La Llorona and figured you would need one, too. Journey with us to a small town to discuss how to deal with an invasion from a gelatinous extraterrestrial. Some will win, some will lose. But it's all in good fun as this movie does end.
