Episode 229 – Backrooms

Definitely the more impressive of the horror wunderkinds we’ve seen in the last two months, Kane Parsons, with the aid of his highly talented cast, has crafted an eerie warning about the dangers of nostalgia.

Episode 226 – Lee Cronin’s The Mummy

Almost nothing about this film works, and certainly not any of the scares. Visually irritating, with obnoxious Foley work, it also tries to turn a Mummy movie into an Evil Dead movie – except it doesn’t even get that right!

Episode 223.5 – Iron Lung

In this abbreviated bonus episode, Matt and Jim discuss Markiplier’s surprise hit. While Jim enjoyed it rather less than his co-host, they both think Mr. Fischbach might have a future as a director. That said, the film does have fairly serious pacing issues, and certain elements remain underdeveloped.

Episode 222 – Send Help

It’s not quite prime Raimi, but with both Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien in top form, it’s nice to have the old splatterhound back in action.

Episode 212 – Frankenstein (2025)

Guillermo del Toro’s love of monsters means he saps The Creature of any real sense of menace. It’s a shame, because it’s a gorgeous movie, with top-notch performances from its two leads.

Episode 210 – V/H/S/Halloween

The eighth installment in the found footage anthology franchise is a half-step up from the period-piece trilogy, but until they extricate themselves from this splatstick rut, these films will never live up to the promise of the first two.

Episode 202 – Bring Her Back

The sophomore feature from the Philippou Brothers underwhelmed us about as much as their debut, Talk to Me. What’s worse is that the flashes of originality in that film are almost entirely absent here, in a borrowed hodgepodge indebted most obviously to Hereditary.

Episode 199 – Until Dawn

Not for the first time, Gary Dauberman piles up a bunch of underwhelming monsters in an attempt to scare us by sheer volume, and not for the first time, he fails. A waste of strong source material.

Episode 194 – Wolf Man (2025)

Seemingly at war with itself and unable to settle on its core themes, Wolf Man is a big step down from Leigh Whannell’s first Universal Monster flick, 2020’s The Invisible Man.
