Episode 13: Double Oh… Crap

We’re back! We took last week off so we’d rested and ready to dig into some James Bond action. This is like Christmas for John, so on top of some spirited SPECTRE discussion, get ready for spy themed digressions and Bond history trivia.

Also: We dig into the gory goodness of Ash vs. Evil Dead and the rest of the Evil Dead series.

It’s the final week of Horror Month, and as a special treat, we brought along our friend Josh Dobeck to join in on the festivities!

We talk about all things slasher: from the rules, to the killers, to the kills. Josh even brings along his top 10 list of favorites. Plus: we wax nostalgic about video stores, VHS box art, and endless reruns on basic cable.

Episode 11: Horror Sub-Genres

We continue Horror Month with a discussion on Cross-Genre Horror. We’re talking Comedy Horror, Romantic Horror, Sci-Fi Horror and more. Plus, John and Dana erupt in drama over the finer nuances of Big Foot as Dana asserts her feminist dominance; John’s sleeping on the couch over this one.

In a turn of events, we also talk about the new Star Wars trailer, and somehow end up discussing original series Star Trek.

Episode 10: Anniversary Horror Spectacular

Dana is back for our landmark 10th episode to discuss the Horror Masters. Can she hack it in this oppressive man’s world? Does she have the skills to communicate her ideas to the oppressive megalomaniac John?

Plus, Gedge talks about the horror movies he’s been watching, and we discuss their connections to masters of horror, from H.P. Lovecraft to Dario Argento.

Episode 9: Horror Fundamentals

It’s time to kickoff Horror Month with a whole podcast devoted to the big question: What is horror? In this super sized episode we go all the way back from Dante up to the present and look at different types of horror, why we like horror, what it all means, and why some people just plain get it wrong. There’s a lot to chew on here, so sit back, relax, and let the terror take you over.

Episode 7: The Phantom Moffat

It’s wife week on the podcast as Dana and Annie join us for a friendly discussion about Doctor Who, starting with the Doctor’s wife, River Song, and ending in a critique of the current state of Who. Is Moffat more J.J. Abrams or George Lucas? Is either one of those good? In addition, Gedge and Annie reveal the worst companion.

Also: Gedge watched the Guest, so we talk about Dan Stevens’ good looks. Plus: Kurt Russell! Weird ’80s horror movies!

Episode 5: Doctor Radd!

Derivative work of genius or crappy Doctor Who fan fiction? We discuss the new Silver Surfer comic and its roots in the framework of Doctor Who (hint: we love it).

Also: Gedge finally watched Django Unchained, and true to Gedge-form he totally doesn’t understand Tarantino, but John attempts to educate him, and Wes Craven died, so that sucks. Plus: Doctor Who as a woman? I say.
