For the final week of Mexican horror month, we cover the 2007 remake of the film we watched last week: HASTA EL VIENTO TIENE MIEDO!

It’s a Christmas miracle! Original co-host Shannon Cholakian has returned for one night only to help us review the 2007 French extremist flick INSIDE aka À L’INTÉRIEUR. Hey, it’s set on Christmas Eve… Join us as we review the film, discuss how it’s not appropriate family viewing, having an oddly in depth conversation on feminist film, and try not to burn the bread we have in the oven. Merry Christmas everyone!

This week we’re going back into the annals of Mexican cinema history for 1968’s HASTA EL VIENTO TIENE MIEDO (EVEN THE WIND IS AFRAID)! Join us as we review the film, attempt to show off our terrible Spanish, and discuss the long, arduous journey it took to get here.

We’re back in action after a brief one week birthday break! It’s the second week of Mexican horror month and we’re exploring the feature debut of homegrown hero Guillermo del Toro, CRONOS! This 1993 vampire picture has every idea in the book and no idea how to wield them, but it’s awesome. Join us as we discuss the film, sing excerpts from Grease, and shudder over how friggin’ gross this movie was!

For Sergio’s birthday, his present was actually being able to choose the movie! Of course, he chose the 2015 thriller SICARIO, because he has no idea what a horror film is. Join us as we review the film, argue over Benicio del Toro’s morality, and discuss possible sequels. Also, stick around to listen to Sergio unwrap his SECOND birthday present! Apologies in advance for not being able to access certain dialogue clips we reference in the episode. DMCA and all that.

For the first week of Mexican Horror month, we check out the 1973 nunsploitation (which is apparently a genre) movie SATÁNICO PANDEMONIUM! Join us as we review the film, dissect yet another wonderful DVD synopsis, and struggle to remember the names of ANYBODY in the movie. Warning: The discussion gets a little blue. If you’re listening with children, well, why did you even decide to do that in the first place?

From December to March (Brennan mistakenly said April, ignore him), we will be picking themes each month that put a spotlight on filmmakers who are part of marginalized or disenfranchised communities. This month we’re doing Mexican Horror, and it’s very exciting indeed. If you donate to one of the following organizations, you will be able to choose a movie we review on the show!

Let’s wave a quick and much-needed goodbye to Proto-Slasher month by ranking the four films we watched and playing a quick round of Six Degrees of Brooke Shields!

For the final week of proto-slasher month, we head back to 1979 for a little vacation in TOURIST TRAP! Join us as we review the film, discuss what makes the perfect Thanksgiving movie, and discuss the mystical de-sexifying power of the bucket hat.

We’re three-quarters through proto-slasher month and things are finally getting interesting with 1976’s ALICE, SWEET ALICE! Join us as we review the film, figure out why Brooke Shields is famous, and plead for listener Tristian to actually explain what the hell is going on.

For the second week of Proto-Slasher month, we fail to redeem ourselves very much with 1976’s THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN! Join us as we review the film, fail at more American history, and learn the legend of Sparkplug!

For the first week of Proto-Slashers month, we explore the much ballyhooed WHEN A STRANGER CALLS, from 1979. Babysitters, beware! Join us as we review the film, discuss ringtones and remakes, and realize that the part everybody remembers is only the first twenty minutes.

It’s time for month 3, y’all! This time, we’re headed back in time to witness the formation of one of Brennan’s favorite genres by exploring the proto-slashers of the 70’s! Thanks to listener Tristian for the idea! Also, again, sorry for the audio malfunction. This is the last of the episodes recorded on that infamous night.
