Christina returns to talk about two movies that are from Spain & France. The mutant kind of movies. One from Alex De La Iglesia that just released on Severin for 4k UHD called ACCION MUTANTE (1993). He's the guy who directed The Last Circus and many other crazy wonderfully weird Spanish films. It's a story about a group of disabled terrorist hellbent on destroying the beautiful people of the galaxy in the future. Then we review a movie that isn't talked about a lot that IFC picked up in 2009 called Mutants (2009). This one is like a zombie horror film but it's a mutant virus that turns people into weird black eyed & black blooded weirdos that screech and tear people apart. Is it a forgotten gem.? Are either of these? We discuss both and what we think with loads of trivia. JOIN US!
This week we have a special guest all the way from Uranus. The Starship aka Nyq Bonaventura. Also known as one of Alex's best friends and great debaters. Some call him a Master Debater of the Universe and beyond. We just call him Nyq and he's a fan of a movie that he and Alex break down together. TERRIFIER 2 (2022) "After being resurrected by a sinister entity, Art the Clown returns to the timid town of Miles County where he targets a teenage girl and her younger brother on Halloween night." That's right Alex finally was backed into a corner by Nyq to not only watch it once but 2 times to see why he liked or disliked the movie. They both talk in depth about the movies up and downs in this audio orgasmic soundscape that will definitely blow you mind into another universe and out it's back side. Be prepared for a long talk about both of their opinions on this one.
Alex picked up some movies recently and it just so happened to be around the release of Teen Wolf (2023) Movie. So we decided to watch where the original comedy movie it originated from.. Plus it's sequel. All the way back in (1985) w/ Michael J. Fox as a werewolf. in TEEN WOLF (1985) Yep, that's right. Scott Howard is an awkward teen who just can't seem to fit in. His basketball team sucks and he's trying to date the prettiest girl in school. One day he transforms into a werewolf and his whole life as well as the school changes forever. Plus, we take on the even lesser talked about cash grab of a films called TEEN WOLF TOO (1987) Which replaced Michael J. Fox with a very young Jason Bateman. No, He's not dealing heroin in the ozarks, He's getting a boxing Scholarship in College and is the cousin of Scott Howard named Todd Howard. With a returning cast of characters and hi-jinx like the first only with a heaping of disaster thrown in.

Last week we watched a few new horror movies that were a bit unknown. So, we thought to pick some older movies that were known really well to make up for it. We watched and reviewed a classic Christmas movie that 80s kids grew up on. GREMLINS (1984) starring your lovable fury pal Gizmo voiced by the prolapse video sharing tiktok legend and 80s fame Howie Mandel. When a certain curious pets owner breaks a few very important rules things multiply into green creatures hellbent on mischief. Not to mention Zach Gallgan, Pheobe Cates and a ton of legends like Dick Miller. Since theres no way that we can watch that movie without watching the sequel. We decided to pair it with GREMLINS 2 The New Batch (1990). A movie that returns a lot of the stars from the first movie and throws in a bunch of legendary cameos and jokes to fill the movie. It's a bigger budget Gremlins in a Smart High Rise with some awfully green issues. JOIN US for LOADS of TRIVIA about Gremlins, our last episode this month before we return with a new year and our top movies of 2022.
It's that time of year! Holiday Horror Season! The Christmas horror movies that will tickle your jingle balls all night long. This week we picked a couple of newer indie films to try out.

The Tree goes on a holiday spree and I don't mean shopping. Next we watch and reiew JACK FROST (2022) No... no no.. not the killer snowman movie you might have heard of.

About of a group of cable access guys researching LIVE the legend of The Jersey Devil but only one of them comes back alive. What happened to the others? We find out and talk about the movies historical value too. Then we take on a movie that had some troubles getting released. The Poughkeepsie Tapes (2007).

The end of this one may piss you off or just surprise you. We talk about both of these movies this week and why Christina is none too happy about it. JOIN US!

We review MANS BEST FRIEND (1993) about a genetically engineered dog that a reporter finds in a lab that she is doing an exposé on. It's a Tibetan Mastiff named Max that can climb trees, eat people and swallow cats whole. All while
Lance Henriksen yells at everyone. Then we review ROTTWEILER (2004) a Brian Yuzna film that not many have seen. Including ourselves. About a man who has so many flashbacks they imprison him and he dreams about a cyborg spirit dog that shares his soul and eats people with it's metal jaws. Or something like that. It really doesn't make a whole heck of a lot of sense. But listening to us break it down will probably make you want to watch it. So Join us and our own dog Murray as we bark our way through this one.
We return with something from Hong Kong? Yep two movies in a franchise of movies, shows and books called A Chinese Ghost Story.
