It’s (gonna be) May, and with that we’re celebrating for some reason by clowning around with new horror ‘icon’ Art The Clown who seems to go around with knives and a gun to do killings to people. That’s as far as the lore allows us to go. Andrew recites half of Bart Simpson’s Deep Deep Trouble off the top of the dome and Johnny prepares for a wild night of FrightFest-related film watching, because this ain’t the end of our Terrifier coverage this month.
BONUS - THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE 3 (FINAL SEQUENCE) COMMENTARY
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
What’s scarier than the notion of another hour and forty minutes in Tom Six’s ‘shocking’ ‘button-pushing’ mind? We’re watching Eric Roberts in a prison-set Centipede movie, and finding anything to talk about whilst what technically counts as video synced to audio running over 70 minutes, and thus is a feature film, plays out. Not worth watching along with us, just listen and play trivia games like a normal podcast.
Commentary begins at 00:07:43
BONUS - THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE 2 (FULL SEQUENCE) UK CUT COMMENTARY
First off, legally we can only watch the UK Cut version so there may be sync problems at times due to, ya know, the original cut being rejected over where we record.
Johnny recalls his FrightFest experiences with this film and Laurence R. Harvey, while Andrew spends most of the time playing games because there’s literally nothing in this film to discuss besides ‘Mike Leigh coulda made something with this’.
Commentary begins at 00:11:44
255 - WRONG TURN 2021
Halloween Kills Month carries on with another scary franchise’s rebooting experience. Johnny digs into his childhood memories of the original Wrong Turn, and an adult run in with the final in the first phase of the franchise, and Andrew discusses watching later Halloween films over the past week as a friend gave updates on their own Wrong Turn marathon, all leading to a screening of this nearly 2-hour revamp of the entire concept.
252 - DAY WATCH
Johnny is forced back into the fantasy lore of Russian trilogy-turned-two-film-franchise Nochnoy Dozor, and he’s being at his best behaviour, but will he last the 2 hour follow-up? Andrew discusses the death of cinema, at least as he waves goodbye to a Cineworld Unlimited card, and the Comic Con hunt for a DVD of Day Watch in 2006.
212 - DEATH OF A VLOGGER
On the time of FrightFest’s Halloween spooktacular, Johnny pays homage with another of 2019’s festival favourites, an indie Scottish found-footage-cum-shockumentary (shocking mockumentary) about a vlogger, a ghost, and a series of scares. Andrew spirals deeper into his own madness and commences naming HBO shows for 15 minutes, he’s doing fine, he’s doing fine, he’s...doing……….fiiiiiiiine.
BONUS - FRIGHTFEST DAY 4
Johnny wraps up FrightFest with a mysterious vampire co-host cracking wise throughout.
Hitting up the films The Swerve, Enhanced, AV: The Hunt and the short films Werewolf, The Motorist, Love Bite, The Gift, Wash, Fuel, Polvotron 500, Keith, Death Walks On Nitrate and The Afterlife Bureau.
BONUS - FRIGHTFEST DAY 3
Johnny lost the internet for a bit, but still he found the scares of FrightFest Day 3, including a whole pack of shorts.
We’re talking Clapboard Jungle, Hall, Aquaslash, Two Heads Creek and short films Bark, Jeff Drives You, Ouzo And The Blackcurrant, Breakfast, A Bit Of Fun, FLESH Control, Subject 3, Tarrare, Guest and The Beholder.
BONUS - FRIGHTFEST DAY 2
Hours after we recorded Day One we lost a modern cinema titan, and so tributes are paid to Chadwick Boseman, before heading into discussion on Day 2 of FrightFest online.
The films reviewed are The Columnist, The Horror Crowd, They’re Outside and Don’t Click.
BONUS - FRIGHTFEST DAY 1
Johnny catches Andrew and the audience up with FrightFest 2020’s digital event, including talk of pre-fest movie Sky Sharks, and Day One films I Am Lisa and 12 Hour Shift. Expect haunts and guffaws from two folk making it through a very bad time together. But… apart, socially.
204 - THE DRONE
It’s Frightfest weekend and Johnny wants to relive the glory of a former year, by choosing a film he himself gave 2 stars to on Letterboxd. Johnny insists The Drone is a good silly fun time, but will it warm the cold, broken heart of horror-un-liking Andrew?
148 - ANNA AND THE APOCALYPSE
An early start to Musical Month sees Johnny highlight one of his favourites, a UK horror zombie musical comedy. Andrew can’t quite get a grip before seeing it, will he discover the magic before curtain call?
