Evil Dead 2 horror...or comedy?

Season 2 · Episode 58

Friday, July 10, 2026 • Duration 21:24

Ryan calls it the greatest horror comedy ever made. Shanny says it's basically a live-action Looney Tunes cartoon filmed with terrifying commitment. Somewhere between the possessed hand, Henrietta's basement hijinks, gallons of mulit color blood, and Bruce Campbell absorbing more physical punishment than any actor should, they try to answer the question.

Episode Highlights:

Why horror fans are still split on Evil Dead 2
The Warner Bros. cartoon theory
Freddy Krueger's hidden glove
Sam Raimi's mom's car

Lifeforce (1985) | Space Vampires & Peak 80s Sci-Fi Horror

Season 2 · Episode 57

Monday, May 25, 2026 • Duration 27:37

If you've ever been in a toxic relationship with a space vampire, this is the episode for you.

This week on SlashBack Cinema, Ryan and Shanny tackle Lifeforce (1985), Tobe Hooper's gloriously unhinged sci-fi horror epic that somehow combines space vampires, psychic powers, zombie outbreaks, alien bats, Patrick Stewart, and the end of the world into one movie.

What starts as a mysterious mission to Halley's Comet quickly spirals into apocalyptic chaos as an otherworldly energy vampire arrives on Earth and turns London into a nightmare. Along the way we discuss Canon Films' biggest gamble, why the original title The Space Vampires would've been infinitely better, Patrick Stewart's unforgettable performance, and whether this cult oddity is actually a misunderstood masterpiece.

Plus:
• Top scenes from the film
• Behind-the-scenes production lore
• The strangest genre mashup we've covered yet
• Stabby Scores: Ryan 4/4 | Shanny 3/4

The Wicker Man (1973) | Is This the Citizen Kane of Horror?

Season 2 · Episode 56

Sunday, May 3, 2026 • Duration 21:36

If you need to get away from it all… Summerisle is waiting.

This week on SlashBack Cinema, we head back to 1973 to break down The Wicker Man a folk horror classic that trades jump scares for slow-building dread… and delivers one of the most unforgettable endings in horror history.

What starts as a simple missing person case quickly turns into something far more unsettling, as a devout Christian police officer finds himself trapped in a world of pagan rituals, strange traditions, and a community that’s hiding something big.

Spoilers ahead and trust us, this is one you’ll want to hear.

They Live (1988) OBEY. CONSUME. PUT ON THE GLASSES.

Season 2 · Episode 55

Wednesday, April 15, 2026 • Duration 27:45

“We’re here to chew bubblegum and podcast… and we’re all out of bubblegum.”

This week on SlashBack Cinema, we finally put on the sunglasses and take a hard look at They Live the 1988 cult classic where a drifter, a shotgun, and a pair of cheap shades are all you need to expose an alien-controlled society.

Neither of us had fully seen this one going in… which might explain a lot.

We get into:
• The most famous line that completely outgrew the film
• That insane six-minute alley fight that just… keeps going
• The sunglasses reveal and why it’s still one of the coolest concepts in 80s sci-fi
• And whether this is actually a horror movie… or if we got completely bamboozled

Along the way, we hit John Carpenter’s legacy, Roddy Piper somehow pulling off a legit performance, and the not-so-subtle “OBEY / CONSUME” message that feels a little less like fiction now than it probably should.

Put on the glasses. Things are about to look different.

The Stuff (1985) You Ate It. It Ate You Back.

Season 2 · Episode 54

Wednesday, April 1, 2026 • Duration 33:57

Everyone's eating it. Nobody knows what it is. Nobody cares. This week on SlashBack Cinema, we're grabbing a spoon and digging into The Stuff (1985), the cult horror where a mysterious dessert turns America into willing victims. It's a movie about capitalist consumption, addiction, and how easy it is to sell people exactly what destroys them. We get into the wild premise, the practical effects, the 80s weirdness that makes it unforgettable, and why this one hits harder now than it ever did.

Poltergeist (1982): Suburban Hell, Real Skeletons, and Peak Gen X Trauma

Season 2 · Episode 53

Wednesday, March 18, 2026 • Duration 26:01

This week on SlashBack Cinema, we channel Poltergeist...the suburban nightmare that made every flickering TV feel like a portal to hell.

We dig into the behind-the-scenes madness (yes… those were real skeletons), the Steven Spielberg vs. Tobe Hooper debate, and why this movie still hits decades later, even if some of the effects are hanging on by a thread.

Plus: Gen X trauma unlocked, questionable parenting decisions, and our retro 80’s Trivia focused this week on TV shows from the 1980’s

They’re here… and so are we.

Season 2 · Episode 52

Wednesday, March 4, 2026 • Duration 26:41

This week on SlashBack Cinema, we head into the water with Joe Dante’s Piranha (1978) the scrappy Jaws-inspired cult classic where genetically engineered killer fish turn a quiet river into an all-you-can murder buffet. Ryan and Shanny break down the fishy action, the wild B-movie energy, and why this cult favorite still bites.

Special guest Jeff Wilson joins the conversation, and we wrap things up with another round of 80s retro trivia to test your VHS-era memory.

My Bloody Valentine (1981): The Slasher That Ruined Valentine’s Day

Season 2 · Episode 50

Wednesday, February 4, 2026 • Duration 33:24

In this episode of SlashBack Cinema, we revisit My Bloody Valentine (1981)—the Canadian slasher that proved Valentine’s Day is a terrible time to throw a party. Set in the mining town of Valentine Bluffs, the film follows the bloody legend of Harry Warden, a pickaxe-wielding killer with a flair for the dramatic, heart-shaped candy boxes and extremely personal murder notes.

This one is Quentin Tarantino's favorite slasher, and we ask the real question: does My Bloody Valentine earn its cult status—or is it just coasting on vibes, gore, and too much Valentine's Day candy?

Plus, we throw it back with trivia from 1981 and give the film its official Stabby Score.
