    077 - Jeepers Creepers (2001)

    Fall is finally here!!! Little weird that we decided to do a movie that is VERY SPECIFICALLY BASED IN THE SPRING, I guess...but whaddya gonna do, this movie sure FEELS like Halloween! We set aside our collective disdain for the DISGUSTING, VILE, PUTRID WASTE OF SPACE that director Victor Salva is this week to talk about his movie that somehow exists post-prison sentence...JEEPERS CREEPERS (2001). All discussions of character and morality aside...I feel like this movie is a pretty fun watch, all said and done. Jason DIS-UH-GREES! Come listen to our very different thoughts on this polarizing cult classic!

    076 - Event Horizon (1997)

    Damn you, 2026! RIP Sam, this one's for you! Welp, we lost another legend in the great Sam Neill this year...and somehow, amazingly, Paul W. S. Anderson's Event Horizon (1997) was already next in our lineup. Almost as if it were written...in the stars? (Get it? Cuz space?) All jokes aside, we sat down for a fun discussion on a very underrated sci-fi horror flick in this one. Maybe not the best graphics in certain spots, maybe it had its fair share of shortcomings due to studio meddling, and sure, it also fought a hell of an uphill battle going up against the JUGGERNAUT that is James Cameron's Titanic (1997), but damn it, this is a good movie that deserved better! With a stellar lineup (including Laurence Fishburne, Jason Isaacs, and Joely Richardson), and some pretty disturbing imagery making great use of practical gore, atmospherically, we think this movie knocks it out of the park, and it goes places you might not expect! I mean, how can you go wrong with Hellraiser in space?...well...unless it's actually the Hellraiser movie that WAS in space...nevermind, anyway... Grab some Tang and some freeze dried rations and come hang out in Zero G's with us for this one! You won't regret it! Hell is just a word...

    074 - Obsession (2026)

    Man, where's Miracle Max when ya need him, huh? You asked for it, and we delivered! We had to jump on the bandwagon before it rolls out of the station to talk about Curry Barker's MASTERPIECE that's taken the country by storm...OBSESSION (2026)! You may be surprised to find that we initially had WILDLY different takes on this...ok, maybe it's not THAT surprising, but damn it, we still managed to kick out one HELL of a conversation on it! Where do you stand on some of the morality issues in this film? Do you think it's a hack, cliche premise, or a fresh entry on an old classic? Find out which side we landed on by clicking play!

With a whole new cast of characters, and a much more FLESHED OUT script (yes, pun intended), Damien Leone's sophomore effort outdoes the original in every way! More blood, more gore, more silly slapstick humor...and the final result is a RIPPING good time you don't want to miss!

    Nis...nis tutarim everybody, it's time to party down with the Deadites! For this week's episode, we decided to kick it old school again with one of the most beloved cult classic films of all time...Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead (1981)! Do you have a love of card games, "Friendsgiving" dinners, road trips to remote cabins, and/or dismembering your loved ones to save yourself and their soul? Well, this might just be your movie! This episode is releasing just before the new Evil Dead: BURN, so it's perfect timing to recap a bit before you go check it out! Shit gets WILD in this one, you don't want to miss it!

    069 - Friday the 13th (1980)

    Rise and shine, campers! Grab your sleeping bags and your ponchos, because it's about to get bloody... With summer in full swing, we thought what better movie to cover than one that kicked off a franchise that's literally synonymous with the season...Friday the 13th (1980)! Just close your eyes and imagine...crickets chirping across a still, dark lake...the crackling sounds of a campfire and the smell of marshmallows roasting...the soothing *shing* of a machete being pulled from its sheath before lopping off an old lady's head. When you think of those things, you can't HELP but think of this movie! Sweet, sweet nostalgia. Don't be late getting on the bus, you don't want to be left behind for this one!

    Welcome to Santa Cru-uh, Carla! The Mur-uh, vamp-uh...comic and VHS tape capital of the world! Definitely no murder or vampires here, just forget I said that... We're keeping those summer vibes going this week with Joel Schumacher's fresh, sexy vampire romp from 1987, The Lost Boys! Do you like dogs, boardwalks and prank-playing grandpas? How about motorcycles, garlic and a little train bridge hangin'? Well look no further, because this is the Michael for you! Er, movie. I meant movie. Join us as we rip on this cult classic like people get ripped out of cars in this! Trust us, this is a real good time!

    067 - Midsommar (2019)

    Greetings from Halsingland! Are you ready for the festivities to begin?? Now that the weather has FINALLY turned and the sun is back, we decided to sit down to talk about Ari Aster's second feature film, MIDSOMMAR (2019), and it sure is a beautiful movie! So brightly lit, so warm, so refreshing. So many pretty colors like the flowers in Dani's May Queen gown, the yellow of the sacred temple, the blush of Christian's special COCKtail, the bright red of the blood eagle... Yeah, you read all that right. Might wanna take a deep breath for this one...things aren't always as they seem. So get your plane ticket, don't tell your girlfriend about it, and join us is Sweden! I hear there will be milk maids. Send us Fan Mail Support the show Podcast art by Jayson Cessna: https://jaysoncessna.crevado.com Music by Dusty Lane, created in LMMS.

    066 - A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985)

    Hey kids, who's ready for a pool party??? We've got Freddy manning the grill this week as we dig into part 2 of the Nightmare on Elm Street Franchise! Deemed one of the "gayest films ever" (rude), we think for as much hate as this movie gets, it's STILL near the top end of installments in this series, with great body horror, hilarious moments (intentional or otherwise), and sure, some very gay subtext, but screw you 80's, what's wrong with that?? Come grab a beer out of our wagon, toss on your trunks and join us in "the cabana!"

    065 - The Substance (2024)

    Well, hey there, gorgeous! We sure do love a movie with substance here at The Cinebytes, don't you? Get ready to get gross (physically and emotionally) in this VERY feminist-minded film from a couple years ago that people are still talking about today - The Substance (2024)! We had both seen this previously, and we STILL weren't prepared to dive into all this movie has to offer. Emotional turbulence, diminished self-worth, and all the nudity and nasty body horror you can handle are at the forefront of this incredible sophomore effort from Coralie Fargeat, and We. Are. Here. For. It. Even with all the bright colors and fun vibes this movie offers from start to finish, there's still so much psychological trauma and grief over losing one's identity, we still don't know how she packed it all in! So grab yourself a nice big foie gras and black truffle stuffed turkey, wash it down with an Activator cocktail, and get ready for a good time!

    Welcome to the beautiful Monroeville mall, chock full of department stores for your home goods needs, entertainment destinations to provide hours of fun for you and your family, and please take advantage of our wonderful food court, serving up plenty of corn dogs, pizza, and brains! ...wait, what was that last part? You guessed it folks, we sat down to talk about the legendary George A. Romero's second installment in the "of the dead" series, Dawn of the Dead (1978)! We know you'll have just as much of a blast with this one as we did, with all the zombie smurfs, roving biker gangs, and helicopter blade decapitations you can handle! This one is a lot of gross, and a lot of fun. So pull up a theater seat, get yourself a zombie dog and a slushie, and join us! Possibly forever...

    Well, kiss me Blarney stones, it looks like it's that time of the year again! The chill is starting to leave the air, replaced with the sounds of a lilting pan flute, and what's this...a space marine is giving wein birth to a full-grown gold goblin. How magical, indeed. We really must apologize in advance for the shit show you're about to experience, as we inexplicably chose part FOUR of this...promising, but ultimately horrendous franchise to celebrate good ol' St. Paddy's Day with! But don't let that scare you away, we still have a great time ripping this thing apart (as does the movie itself...several times..). So grab yourself a green Guinness, put on the corned beef and enjoy our discussion on this delightful little gilded trainwreck!

We sat down this week to talk about Zach Cregger's sophomer effort, WEAPONS (2025), and it did NOT disappoint. Who would you suspect if an entire flock of children from one town went missing at once...but...separately? How much vodka would you need to cope with the whole town breathing down your neck? Just how much soup can one boy carry, and where does Gladys get those bitchin' wigs? We face down all this and more in this hilarious and compelling episode. Just click play.

And revisit we did, turning in another fun episode in the process! A heapin' helpin' of your favorites from the OG are BACK to be terrorized by the one and only...two and only?...Ghostface killah'(s).

This week, we wanted to chat about this fun holiday hit that's equal parts Rom-Com and Bloody Slasher, and fun from start to finish! With a cool, original baddie(s?)...and an all-star cast full of baddies...this is a great addition to the relatively small stable of options for occasion-appropriate content that you and your sweetheart to snuggle up on the couch to ;-) Grab a box of chocolates (that's what life is like, after all) and pop a bottle of Dom Perig-non and enjoy!
