I Drink Your Blood (1971) With G.G. Graham09 Mar 202101:15:39

Forget milkshakes, because we're talking about David Durston's I Drink Your Blood!

G.G. Graham is here to school us on both the origins of grindhouse cinema and new examples like Hobo With a Shotgun and Devil's Rejects, chat about the power of a dance background, and discuss all the trashy goodness that comes with b-movie territory. Don't miss it!

Slither (2006) with Kevin Cole09 Mar 202101:33:36

This week Kevin Cole (Haque, Pretend Friends, Space Kings) and I go on an emotional roller coaster - he picked Slither, but upon rewatch, wasn't sure he actually felt it was the best?!

We go through the movie together and by the time we've broken it down, we got there in the end; Slither is in fact, the best horror movie ever made.  Plus we had fun chatting about it and his tastes in horror at large as a late bloomer to the genre, horror video games, and more! Don't miss out!
