Only two reviews left to do and I think I’m going to go for a mini-theme for these last ones that is best summed up as “something is wrong […]

Movie Mastery – Bad Hair (2020)
A Horrortoberfest special with guest star Chanel from the Arms of the Tide podcast. Thankfully the episode isn’t just two white dudes talking about a very specifically Black woman issue […]
Horrortoberfest ’20 Day 28 – Siren (2016)
We’re ending Monster Week with a film that is based around a more classic monster than the ones I’ve reviewed this week. Although, technically, this isn’t strictly a movie […]
Expounded Universe 149 – She’s Not Like the Other Imps
A book set in the world created by an MMO licensed from movies, huh? Sure, why not? It’s Ruins of Dantooine, and while I’m sure ruins will turn up at […]
Horrortoberfest ’20 Day 27 – Digging Up the Marrow (2014)
There are plenty of “found footage” horror movies out there but I really like the way that this movie does the entire thing as a documentary. Not even like […]
Horrortoberfest ’20 Day 26 – The Rake (2018)
The Rake is a modern monster creation that stemmed from a 4chan thread about creating new monsters in much the same way that Slenderman came out of a Something […]
Horrortoberfest ’20 Day 25 – Splinter (2008)
You know, I’ve already done two The Thing adjacent movies for Monster Week so far. Might as well keep on going with that for just a little bit more with […]
Horrortoberfest ’20 Day 24 – The Thing (2011)
After comparing the effects in yesterday’s review of The Void to the original The Thing by John Carpenter, I remembered that I hadn’t yet watched the prequel that came out […]
Horrortoberfest ’20 Day 23 – The Void (2016)
I’m not generally the biggest fan of Lovecraftian horror but, having already seen an amazing adaptation of ol’ H.P.’s work this year, I figured I might as well give […]
Horrortoberfest ’20 Day 22 – The Monster (2016)
Monster Week continues with more very appropriately named movies. One of the things that I always like about monster movies in particular is trying to figure out what the […]
Horrortoberfest ’20 Day 21 – Book of Monsters (2018)
A new week and a new theme to go along with it. This time we are doing a week of monsters and creatures that stalk in the darkness. This […]
Horrortoberfest ’20 Day 20 – Warning: Do Not Play (2019)
For the last of the Tech Week horror movies, we jump back to Korea for a scary movie about trying to find a scary movie when you’re making a […]
System Mastery 185 – Teens In Space
Ween or Treatween! Wait, what? This game is new! How the heck did that happen? Well, Jef’s supply of alien books isn’t low, but neither of us wanted to read […]
Horrortoberfest ’20 Day 19 – Starfish (2018)
This week goes a bit more lo-fi on the Tech Week theme with a movie that centers around mix tapes and music. I love a good “end of the […]
Horrortoberfest ’20 Day 18 – Empathy, Inc. (2019)
I was hoping that I would be able to make up for yesterday’s film being not particularly focused on technology by making sure the one I watched this time would […]
Horrortoberfest ’20 Day 17 – 0.0mhz (2019)
The brief description of this movie led me to believe that it would be about using brain waves at a certain frequency (0.0mhz) in order to see/hear ghosts. Instead […]
Horrortoberfest ’20 Day 16 – Host (2020)
It’s still Tech Horror Week and we movie to a very recently made movie. So recently made, in fact, that it takes place during Covid lockdown with a bunch […]
Movie Mastery – Deadcon (2019)
You ever wonder what would happen if the internet was haunted and social media was out to get you? Me too. Unfortunately, this movie doesn’t do that and instead […]
Horrortoberfest ’20 Day 14 – Frank & Zed (2020)
In between the last theme week and the start of the next one, we have a special brand new movie that isn’t even fully released yet. A friend that […]
Expounded Universe 148 – It’s Over!
As is our custom, we wrap up with a brief discussion about what we’ve learned here from this book, then dive into some good old fashioned listener Q&A before announcing […]
