Ep. 23 - Elvira (Part 1) - In The Beginning...

Episode 30

Wednesday, December 22, 2021 • Duration 01:24:05

The one and only, Mistress of the Dark, ELVIRA. You've heard her name! Who is she, exactly? Well, Elvira, or her normal mortal name, Cassandra Peterson, is the quintessential symbol of all things horror. The Queen of Halloween has become one of the most influential and "outrageous" pop culture icons in the realm of the spooky and has appeared in movies, television, CDs, books, and thousands of other media and products. In September of 2021, Elvira released an autobiography; "Yours Cruelly, Elvira: Memoirs of the Mistress of the Dark". It is this book in which Joshua and Matthew dive deep and bring you the life of our favorite horror mistress. We will span our telling of Elvira, respectfully, over a multi-part series in which we believe it is due. There is a lot of detail we don't want to gloss over for Cassandra Peterson's life deserves to be properly represented and spoken about. If horror shaped your life just like horror had shaped hers, then this book is a BUST, oh sorry, meant must. Whoopsie. Learn about her origins and upbringing in the strange and macabre. And never forget that there is life after death. Even though there will be a time that Cassandra Peterson will take an eternal rest, Elvira, the Mistress of the Dark, will live on forever, finally transcending into immortality.

Elvira, we here at The Dissector's Cut thank you for everything that you've done <3

Ep. 17 - 25 Years Of Resident Evil (Part 2)

Episode 17

Tuesday, June 8, 2021 • Duration 01:14:20

We are back with our second segment on our series for Resident Evil! In this episode Joshua and Matthew discuss more of the early games and movies of the franchise that had such an impact on our childhoods and some of the development processes they went through along the way. We talk about a few Easter eggs and hidden gems throughout this era in the series as well. Many games, as well as other means of entertainment, have Resident Evil to thank because without RE they might have never implemented some of the mechanics or styles brought to the media industry, more so the world of video games, or even worse... they might have never existed at all! The idea for Gears of War or even Uncharted for example might have never manifested if it wasn't for Resident Evil, more specifically, Resident Evil: 4. But we won't tell you the entire episode in this description, you'll have to listen to it yourself and let our master dissector, Josh, explain to you and his mediocre colleague, Matthew, what RE is all about!

Anyway, once your done reading up on the Pentagon's living dead defense plan or if you're in the middle of one of your RE: Village game breaks, have a listen to this episode where we begin to bring you all of the fun and gory, dissected details from Capcom's biggest franchise.

Where it all began! We expand on the concepts that were conceived, the people that were involved, and the odd twists and turns that were taken along the path to get us to where we are now. It's a fascinating story that has only just begun. Enjoy the episode and stick around for part 2, and maybe...part 3...

Ep. 15 - Aliens - "They Mostly Come At Night...Mostly"

Episode 15

Sunday, April 18, 2021 • Duration 01:33:45

In 1979, a SciFi/Horror film came bursting out into theaters that would reimagine the genre. It would redefine the limits and capabilities of the cinematic world when it came to the vast unknown that is outer space. The possibilities seemed even more endless, if one ever thought that was even possible. Then working off of the success of "Alien", 7 years later, the world was introduced to Aliens. A terrifying, action packed sequel that became a masterpiece just like it's predecessor. With a little more action and adventure than the first in this line of extraterrestrial horror films, we were gifted a bigger cast with even more characters to watch and relate to, some were even familiar faces (RIP Bill Paxton) and most of these characters were military. They were space marines. They came to do their job one way or another so when watching this film, you know what you're getting yourself into; one hell of a ride. Sigourney Weaver is back, and hasn't changed ONE. DAMN. BIT. So with all of that said, we'll let you get to it and enjoy the episode. Joshua and Matthew will walk you through this films conception, birth, reception, and even a little bit on a film idea that "was-to-be" but never made it, however, there was some talk about it in recent weeks...Anyway, if you've been sitting on this movie then let us dissect your brain a little and see if we can't change your mind on how this movie is a cinematic gem and forever will be. Take care everyone and stay safe, healthy, sexy, and...be whoever or whatever you wanna be. 2021 is on it's way to being a great year. We'll see you in a couple weeks with our first video game series, that actually had movie adaptations, Resident Evil!

Ep. 14 - Alien - "I Admire Its Purity"

Episode 14

Monday, March 29, 2021 • Duration 01:26:00

In space no one can hear you scream.... that is the now famous tagline for the 1979 sci-fi/horror masterpiece, Alien. Heading back to Earth, the crew of a commercial, merchant vessel detects an unknown transmission. Once thought as an S.O.S., they soon realize it was a warning and one by one the crew are picked off by a mysterious, and dangerous, lifeform. BRACE. FOR. IMPACT! When "Alien" came crashing into the world of cinema it would eventually set the bar for creature features with it's incredible sense of isolation, dread, and suspense. To this day, Alien is regarded as one of the most pivotal films when it comes to the genre of sci-fi and horror and for some it is the absolute pinnacle. Come with us, Joshua and Matthew, as we take a ride in Nostromo 2, otherwise known as our studio, so we can present to you the lovely history behind the making of this great film. You'll hear from us soon!

Ep. 13 - Predator - "If It Bleeds, We Can Kill It"

Episode 13

Tuesday, March 9, 2021 • Duration 01:18:52

Moving forward, we have finished our "Universal Monsters" series and are back with the full cinematic world at our disposal. Today we discuss a masterpiece (according to Joshua and Matthew) about an extraterrestrial trophy hunter, an otherwordly super soldier, an apex PREDATOR. Yes, students, today we are going to dissect the 1987 film, Predator. A piece of cinematic history where the world's greatest threat, man, is pitted against man's greatest threat, alien. We have been dethroned from the top of the food chain. Join us, and some horrible Arnold Schwarzenegger impressions, as we take apart the movie's history. We break down it's cast, crew, and production and throw some very interesting facts along the way. The show will now become a bi-weekly production as we spend the extra time prioritizing our association with research, work (jobs), friends and family, and simply getting our affairs in order. Stay safe, healthy and tuned, for in a couple weeks when we come back we will have another incredible film to share. Engulfed with terror, horror and isolation, Ridley Scott's, Alien.

In space no one can hear you scream.

Ep. 12 - Creature from the Black Lagoon - "There Are Many Strange Legends In The Amazon"

Episode 12

Wednesday, February 24, 2021 • Duration 01:19:12

THE FINALE. The final piece of the "Universal Monsters" puzzle. Today. Is. Creature from the Black Lagoon! In 1954 we were brought a breath of fresh air into the cinematic world of iconic horror monsters with a bipedal, amphibious, creature that was hell bent on killing anyone or anything that poses a threat to it's beloved home. You can easily see within the first minutes that this film's score, acting, storyline, and much more has only evolved and adapted in the greatest of ways just like the prehistoric creature that it documents. A truly monumental piece of film that no one can forget when the topic of "creature features" comes up at friend's parties or your parents holiday get-togethers. Have some time to...kill? Kill it with us as we dive deep, just like the creature, into this film's history. Joshua and Matthew bring some interesting facts up to the surface for us land dwellers to enjoy. Next week we will be discussing one of TDC's all time favorite films that falls into the horror/scifi genre, Predator. Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger among many other familiar faces, this 1987 film brought a formidable new creature to the monster mash that is Hollywood Horror. See you all next week.
