Thanks, love you guys

Now, I know what you're thinking: what do I do with my life now that Groovy Lil Spookshow has ended (and so abruptly at that)?
We came into this project as two dudes, one from the mythical land of New Jersey, the other from the greatest city in the world, Chicago, knowing nothing about each other except that we wanted to be opinionated assholes and talk horror. We succeeded. Better, we became close friends in the process. But over the year that we have worked alongside each other on this show we've had to balance our own lives in the background. What they don't tell you about podcasting is that it can become a full-time gig very quickly.
We made the mutual decision earlier this week to let GLS go out gracefully, so our final gift to you all is our interview with Pentagram frontman Bobby Liebling, pulled straight from the Patreon vault. We were proud of every episode we did, but this was an experience that could never have happened without this show and a massive pair to ask the man directly himself to let us speak with him.
Enjoy, everyone, and most importantly: stay groovy.
This week, the lads ride out for revenge alongside Travis Ybarra, the host of the podcast Horror-fying My Friends to discuss Robert Egger's viking revenge epic The Northman. Sharpen your axes, spears, and swords, ding dongs, we're going raiding this week!
If you enjoyed our newest episode, be sure to check out Travis' podcast, Horror-fying My Friends, wherever you listen to your pods @horrofyingmf across the socials, and give Travis a follow on Twitter @CaptCreature.

The boys are taking the week off - they're sure you're going to miss the riveting Microwave Massacre discourse they had planned...
Instead, the Patreon vault has been opened this week for non-subscribers. Listen to the first episode of After Hours NOW:
Scott's hungover and swiggin' from a bottle of Malort, so it just made sense for this to be the episode where he explains why he left The Mutant Fam. Steve explains his perfect Marxist paradise, and the lads together come to the obvious conclusion that they are, in fact, insufferable elitists. But hey! Self-awareness is better than no awareness.

This week, we attempted to reopen the Lament Configuration once again to talk Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth alongside sequel writer Peter Atkins, but ended up talking about much, much more in a special, extra long interview this week with topics ranging from English colloquialisms to heavy metal history and everything else in between. A special thanks to Peter for giving us over two-hours of his time to sit and talk with us.

We kick off the month of April Appetites with a stint at blood school, stinky little pinkies, sexy invalid dancing, and half-assed snarling with Morbius, a film that is quite possibly worse than Verotika. Honestly, Morbius may have an appetite for blood but we should have shoehorned this in under coprophilia, because it is straight crap.

We end this month of folkloric fornicating by looking into S. Craig Zahler's world of cowboys versus cannibals with Bone Tomahawk. Modern mythmaking meets that peculiar human fascination with the worst, most primal and violent of our species with our half-century mark episode that delves into the Wild West, Zahler VS Tarantino, and a conversation about depictions of indigenous peoples in horror.

Our penultimate episode for Mythology March takes us into an exploration of the Lampton Worm of NE England, the source myth for this week's film - Ken Russell's 1988 Lair of the White Worm, a semi-psychedelic romp with none other than Hugh Grant.
We also talk the virtues of painting a hotel bathroom in vomit, review the actual source material of both the myth and Bram Stoker novelization, and question just why Scott picks films he doesn't particularly enjoy.

In honor of this pointless holiday, we attempted to bring you an episode that was, to say the least, on the nose. But Leprechaun sucks and no one cares about Scott's notes about diminutive fae from the Emerald Isle, so he drank Jameson and Old Style as he watched the show derail into a ditch and killing everyone on board. Enjoy!

We may be a day late with this week's episode because Jenna hexed the internet after we told her magic isn't real, but were here now with another folkloric film frolic for the month of March with Robert Egger's 2015 debut with The VVitch.
An exploration into Puritans, Plymouth Colony, and their wacky, murderous laws await thee as we break down the historic minutiae of witchcraft to better understand this film. Additionally, Steve presents hilarious African football team names, Scott explains flying ointment, and Jenna begrudgingly celebrates International Women's Day alongside the lads.

Tussling with Tusselads? Raging against Raglefants? Dovregrubbens got ya down? Then Trollhunter may provide the tactics you need to acquire victory against these ancient foes. We kick off a Mythological March with the this Norwegian mockumentary that has us going way too in depth about the origins of trolls.
We usher out Lupercalia with a final film for for the degeneracy and hedonism of the holiday with Bloodsucking Freaks. Send your thoughts and prayers to Jenna - she did not have a good time. Neither did Steve. Scott, however, is opening his own Grand-Guignol in Chicago now.
Our 3rd film for the month of Lupercalia is Park Chan-wook's Thirst. A Catholic priest finds himself infected with a mysterious virus leaving him with the urge to suck, suck, suck... blood! We went without show notes for this episode, a mistake we are never going to make again.
We kick off our inaugural celebration of Lupercalia and the blood, breasts, and beasts that accompany it with our 1st of 4 films this month - Vamp, starring the immortal Grace Jones. Because surrealist vampire strippers are every college kids' wet dream.
Steve provides his philosophical insights regarding the Rogan debacle, we learn a little bit about Lupercalia, and learn entirely too much about Scott's pendulous scrote. Oh, and Jenna's back!
We close out Giallo-ary with the piece de resistance that critics for the last 40-years have argued is a piece de shit: The New York Ripper.
We examine misogyny, violence, Mr. Lucio Fulci, and end on a remarkably philosophical discussion on just why we do this show. Enjoy!
Next month's theme: get turn't with us for Saturnalia and the blood, beasts, and breasts it promises.
Our 2nd film of Giallo-ary takes us to communist Prague, Czechoslovakia where we join Jean Sorel as he tries to figure out who killed him as his conscious mind is still alive in his very dead body. Importantly, we learn from some neat-o socialites the ins-and-outs of Moloch worship in this week's episode.
Steve got the Covids from being too EVIL (again), which means the first film of Giallo-ary on GLS is a domestic affair between Da Ghouldaddy and Vintage Wxtch. Join us this week as we learn the basics of Greek witchcraft in Germany via the power of interpretative dance with Dario Argento's classic: SUSPIRIA!
We're back for the new year to talk about the old year with our first Year in Review episode. We do a Q&A to answer some fan mail we've received over the last few weeks, followed by a lightning round of re-reviews of every film we covered in 2021. Stay until the end to see where we're going with Groovy Lil Spookshow in 2022.
