Please welcome Tony Coffman (@tonycoffman on Twitter) to the world of podcasting as he joins me to discuss one of the best horror debuts in history, Excision. Ricky Bates Jr's first movie is a hauntingly beautiful coming of age tale told in that quintessentially Ricky Bates Jr way. He has a truly unique voice in cinema and really succeeded out of the gate.
Excision is available on Amazon Prime, free with ads a number of services, and on VOD: https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/excision

Justin Decloux joins me to chat a bit about his experiences as a filmmaker and as a blu ray distributor in a digital world. Please go check out his site, GoldNinjaVideo.com and peruse his titles. He's got a little bit of everything that anyone could want, from his original films Teddy Bomb (which Leigh Whannel shamelessly ripped off) and Impossible Horror, to future cult classics like Flesh Freaks, Personal Space Invader, and Dinosaurs in a Mining Facility.
If you're a digital guy, check out Teddy Bomb online at http://www.teddybomb.com/ and Impossible Horror at https://impossiblehorror.com/ and give these awesome films a watch!
Listen in for the first fully 'conversational' episode in awhile as I round up friends of the show Chance Shirley (director of Hide and Creep, Interplanetary, and For A Few Zombies More) and Jeremy Burgess (director of the forthcoming Don't Die) to talk about a pair of epic conspiracy thrillers:
Both movies are easily watchable via HBO Max and Amazon Prime, respectively, and are definitely worth your time.
To find Chance's films, check out his website, crewless.com and find him on Twitter: @Crewless

Ok, this week I have an update on some previous crowdfunding projects I mentioned, including the successful conclusion to Fat Fleshy Fingers on Kickstarter!! This week's project is a GoFundMe from the filmmakers behind Silent Shadow, Yolit Rios (on Instagram @yolitsvisionary) and Gary Jay (on Instagram @garyjayjr): (Silent Shadow short: https://youtu.be/q4iFFk6PT8M). They're raising money for a new western short with a black lead. Link below, and I'm trying to get them on the show.
Also covered, briefly, is the trailer for Animosity, the first film from Brendan Steere. He actually won awards for this film at Buffalo Dreams way back in 2013, but it's only now getting released thanks to the smash hit that was The VelociPastor. I also go on a rant about Michael Epstein (https://twitter.com/MichaelJEpstein) sending me down a rabbit hole of obscure 80's rock musicals (titles and links below)
New Projects discussed on this episode:
Obscure 80's Rock Musicals mentioned on this episode:
Back after a much needed vacation, and apologies for not being able to produce any episodes last week, but I'm making up for it with an exciting and (for once) timely interview. Brian Lonano joins me to talk about his short film retrospective, Lonano-thon, playing this week at Chattanooga Film Festival. I've spoken about some of his shorts previously, including Crow Hand and The Devil's Asshole, both of which you can also see on Arrow Player. But the CFF retrospective includes over 100 minutes climbing inside the demented brain of Brian, and I can't recommend it enough. Please check him out on Twitter @BrianLonano.
Also covered is an indie comic from Matt Schorr (https://www.mattschorr.net/) called Moby Dick: Back From The Deep. Find him on Twitter @themattschorr or Instagram @theschorr. Finally, I also check out the trailer for the recently released Babysitter Must Die.

My guest this week is Mark Beal, creator of the "Bloodsucker's" universe with his very unique films Bloodsucker's Handbook (which sometimes shows up under the title Enchiridion) and its futuristic prequel, Bloodsucker's Planet. (I promise it makes sense).
I also predictably plug Arrow Player again. Are you starting to get the hint? Maybe one day, they'll throw a discount code my way *AHEM*.
I also go deep on a Kickstarter from Stephen Stull that is involving a number of my favorite people, including Sophia Cacciola (Episode 7) and Michael Epstein. Check out their work at https://launchover.com/launch/.
Projects discussed on this episode:
I'm back, albeit a bit late because I took some time off over the Memorial Day weekend. But tune in to hear me ramble on about The Mitchell's vs The Machines, which surprisingly turned out to be the perfect movie for me about how weirdos making strange homemade movies will save the world. GO WATCH IT!!
My guest this week is Éric Falardeau. Please visit him at https://ericfalardeau.com/ or on Instagram @Thanatofilms. His debut film, Thanatomorphose, chronicles a young woman who's body begins to decompose while she's still alive. It's extreme, disturbing, gross, and upsetting. And it's also the subject of a fantastic region free Blu Ray release from Tetrovideo: https://tetrovideo.com/shop/thanatomorphose-bluray-edition/
I also plug Arrow Player for the second week in a row. It's really great, so check it out at https://www.arrow-player.com/, sign up for a free 30 day trial, and use promo code THRESHOLD for 50% the first month after that!

This podcast is officially over the hill with Episode 40 (and with the one-year mark firmly in sight). There are dozens of us! DOZENS! And we're not going anywhere. This episode was a ton of fun to put together, including a short film from Arrow's new streaming service , a fun 'kitchen sink'-esque crowdfunding project, and a trailer from the director of one of the more disturbing films I've seen in recent years. And, of course, my guest, Alex Noyer!

Not content with the incestuous vibes of Killers, Trev Allen returns to the pod for a feature with explicit brother-on-mustached sister fucking with the epic feature Bullets Of Justice. But before we can get into that, we discuss a pandemic-inspired short film about the importance of remembering your face mask, a crowdfunding campaign best described as Frank Capra meets Gaspar Noe, a monster in the walls (and pipes?), and the ALL NEW BAGMAN TRAILER!!

So, uhhhh ... sorry guys. I had plans to record and release this week's podcast a day early, so it would drop on 4/20, but the good folks at Pfizer had other plans as my second Covid shot laid me up for a couple days. But anyway, here's an episode on the stoner slasher 4/20 Massacre. In a world filled with stoner comedies and stoner horror comedies, Dylan's movie stands alone as a more straightforward 80's style slasher, but with modern subject matter and sensibility. Enjoy!
Check the movie out here:

Everything you ever wanted to know about snake penises and more on a brand new episode with Snake Dick director David Mahmoudieh. I plugged it last week, but in case you forgot, check out the movie at www.snakedick.com, or on Instagram @SnakeDickMovie. Connect with David on Instagram @Darvood.

Something dumb takes the spotlight in this week's episode as I'm joined in the final segment by filmmaker David Cornelius who gifted us the delightfully corny Inhumanwich! It's a 50's throwback sci-fi horror set in the near future where an unfortunate accident turns a man into a giant sloppy joe monster. It's goofy and fun and never takes itself too seriously ...
But first, we FINALLY talk Snake Dick, the amazing short film from David Mahmoudieh and Alpha Wolves (https://www.alphawolves.tv/), as well as some disgusting body horror. Tune in!

Hey, what happens to your dick when I ring this bell? Our main topic tonight is the very disturbing Who's Watching Oliver, and I was delighted to have one half of the fantastic podcast I Spit On Your Podcast to help break it down. But first, I go into detail on some of the topics I mentioned last week, and some new trailers that caught my eye this week.
Projects mentioned in this episode:

Watch ahead for next week:
Announcements. Announcements! ANNOUNCEMENTS!
Ok, so I'm going to be playing with the show format over the coming weeks while I expand the show to include trailers, news topics, and even short films! So your homework for this week, in addition to a great rundown of Ava's Possessions with filmmaker Jordan Galland, is to check out some of the projects I mention (links below) and be ready for me to go into detail in the coming episodes.
In the meantime,
Projects mentioned in this episode:
Hosts (with an 'S') just dropped on Shudder and is a wholly original, wholly independent, mean spirited, disgusting, gory, psychological Christmas horror. It immediately fell into the 'must watch' category for me. In fact, barely a half hour or so into this, I was on the phone texting my friends and insisting that they fire it up. And, of course, this has the potential to be confused with the singular 'Host' which took the quarantined world by storm in mid-2020. A bit of unfortunate timing Hosts creators, but for better or worse they stuck w/ the title that carried throughout their project (and actually carries multiple layers of meaning).
And far from being a knock-off, Hosts goes in a completely different direction as a claustrophobic home-invasion thriller. It also leaves the broader world and 'bad guy' motivations as enough of a mystery, with clues along the way, that let you piece together the story on your own. It's a fantastic ride, and a great pickup by Shudder. Please check it out and then give Adam and Richard a listen. What they managed to pull off on only a $20k budget is, frankly, fucking impressive and we should all be looking forward to their next project!
It's pre 2010, and WHAT the FUCK even IS the INTERNET? Let's be honest, the "story" in the Laid To Rest franchise (does two movies constitute a franchise?) is secondary to the writer/director's primary vocation: special effects. These films basically act as a sizzle reel for Robert Hall's brilliant practical effects work. An industry professional, Hall's credits include horror and sci-fi TV shows like Buffy, Angel, The X-Files, and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (where he seems to have recruited much of the Chromeskull series cast like Thomas Dekker and Brian Austin Green), and films like Quarantine, The Crazies, and the Paranormal Activity movies.
Joining me on this journey is legendary podcaster, and one half of the brilliant Modern Horrors podcast, Luke "the Juke" Rodriguez (yes, even when the show was briefly me, Luke, and Jake Parker, Luke was still a full half of the show). I'm honored that Luke decided to emerge from his seclusion for his first podcast in months, and he didn't disappoint. He's full of great information and fun reactions to a ridiculous, but highly entertaining series of films. Be forewarned that there's no deeper meaning at work here .. it's just carnage for carnage's sake. And that's, frankly, just fine because it's so superbly executed. Check out Luke's website, ModernHorrors.com. Completely fan supported and ad-free with their Patreon, so please check it out. He's also on Instagram or Twitter @ModernHorrors.
You can spend way too much on a foreign mediabook, or you can watch both films for free on TubiTV. Part 2 is also available via an Amazon Prime subscription.

HELLO LITTLE PIGGIES!!! Welcome to my podcast! We have such wonderful surprises in store for you today. I can't wait to show you!
Christopher R. Mihm, founder of the "Mihmiverse", is a professional monster movie maker and self-described creator of "new old good bad movies!" He has made a movie each year like clock work--going back to 2006--in the tradition of classic "B" horror monster movies of the 50's and 60's. This modern-day Roger Corman has gifted us amazing titles like The Monster of Phantom Lake, Cave Women on Mars, and today's topic, Weresquito: Nazi Hunter.
Christopher is a skilled filmmaker with a successful "crowdfunding" model consisting of pre-selling copies of his films to contributors, who receive credit and a copy of the finished product. In addition, he does his own physical distribution and produces spectacular looking blu rays and DVDs with attractive cover art, nicely authored menus, and special features. Through his e-commerce site, he'll even autograph your copy for free!
Visit SaintEuphoria.com (http://sainteuphoria.com/index.html) to buy any of his 16 existing movies, or contribute to the two he has in development right now!
Also, as a special contest I am running for listeners of the podcast, send me a screenshot showing that you signed up for his FREE monthly newsletter and I'll put you in a drawing to win a free blu ray or DVD from my collection!
