The Head, The Tail, The Whole Damn Thing
HTWDT Episode 31: Tucker and Dale vs Evil (2010) and Clown in a Cornfield (2025)
Hey, Whole Damn Family, It's our 31st episode! Just in time for Halloween week! Its our longest title yet! Too many words in these movie titles! But regardless of the wordy names, it's a double helping of director Eli Craig. First, his (2010) feature debut, Tucker and Dale vs Evil, which, let's be honest, is a horror comedy classic. If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and seek this one out. We follow up with a little promo for two upcoming shows. We're hooking up with the fellas from Slash U and the lovely ladies of I Wanna Be In The Sequel Podcasts. Follow their Instas below so you know when we drop in. Then we start talking about the new "based on a YA book" horror movie Clown in a Cornfield (2025), what could be more Halloweeny than that. The makeup FX in that one were handled by Doug Morrow over at Character Illusions in Winnipeg. We talk a bit about the budget restraints and why movies cost so much anyway. Also in this episode we also invent a new ride share service. Don't steal our idea we time stamped it! To see more of Doug's work check his insta. https://www.instagram.com/character_illusions_inc?igsh=MXhodTBzZ2FveGgxNg== To catch the fellas at Slash U go here. https://www.instagram.com/slashu_podcast?igsh=emFza3V4eGJ6Ym12 For the lovely ladies of I Wanna Be in the Sequelhttps://www.instagram.com/iwannabeinthesequelpodcast?igsh=NmptNGUxdHJ4MDZx Want to support and buy some show swag!!

HTWDT Episode 30: The Conjuring (2013) and The Conjuring Last Rites (2025)
Hey whole Damn Family. It's time we conjure up a double dose of the Warrens. Everyone's favorite paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine. This is true stuff! No one could make this up. It's not Hollywood fakery; this is real life, true things that happened to real people and were documented truthfully, and also it's true that it's true. It's like super realistic truth. We start with the true story of The Conjuring (2013) and the Perron family, and finish with the case that was so true it made them stop fighting for the truth. Yes, that's right. The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) is about the Smurl family. As I write this, I can't believe we didn't make a Family Feud joke. At any rate, here for your Shocktober enjoyment is some true horror.

HTWDT Episode 29: Suspiria (1977) and Weapons (2025)
What we have here is a supersized version of witchery, just in time for the Halloween season. We start off with a classic, Dario Argento's (1977) Suspiria. It's obvious from the fake Italian accent enthusiasm that the boys enjoy this one! There's lots to unpack in this arthouse horror gem, including some interesting behind the scenes tech about the film and the soundtrack. We follow that up with the brand new Zach Cregger film Weapons (2025) which Mike happened to work on. So there are lots of behind the scenes tidbits and discussions on the makeup fx. There's so much in this episode we left it long and still cut stuff out that will come to Patreon later. So grab your ingredients and heat up your cauldrons, it's time to get into this witch.

HTWDT Episode 28: Dead Calm (1989) and Dangerous Animals (2025)
Hello Whole Damn Family! On this one, we sail out and find two films that may be under your radar. Dead Calm (1989), which is one of Billy Zane and Nicole Kidman's first-ever roles. It's a tight thriller where we get to conjure the ghost of Orson Welles for our opener (kinda). Aren't you curious why? Then we deep dive into this summer's new serial killer shark movie from down under by Sean Byrne, Dangerous Animals (2025), Starring Jai Courtney (this one just dropped on Shudder). Sir David Attenborough visits us (not really) to tell us about the dangers of Australia. We also talk about the sexy tones of Creedence Clearwater Revival and bite into the sensuous side of corn. Oh you didn't know there was one? You've got a lot to learn in this episode! As usual feeding the algorithm helps more than you know, so share us with a friend!

HTWDT Episode 27: Deadly Friend (1986) and M3GAN 2.0 (2025)
It's our one-year anniversary! So let's unplug it all and plug it back in with these two beauties. In 1986, Wes Craven tried to introduce the world to his Deadly Friend...but audiences were more interested in his nightmares, so the studio stuck their greasy fingers into his mechanical pie. Spoiler Alert…It didn't go over too well, but this one has a good origin story. Twenty-six years later, the world was introduced to M3GAN and now M3GAN 2.0, so we paired Wes' long lost and rarely talked about friend with the latter. Lucky for you! In this episode, we talk robot love, destructive AI’s, evil stepfathers, Steven Segal, and Family; in fact, “it’s all about family!” So put on your headphones and reboot with some laughs. Check out Adrien Morot's company on insta for some M3GAN stuff and more! https://www.instagram.com/morotfx/ Feeding the algorithm helps more than you know, so share us with a friend!

HTWDT Episode 26: Pet Sematary (1989) Bring Her Back (2025)
This one should be fun! A whole episode on grief! How adorable! The boys cover Stephen King's classic Pet Sematary (1989), a film undoubtedly about the cons of the trucking industry and the pros of fencing off your yard! Mike gives a few behind-the-scenes tidbits he learned from John Blake about working on the show with David Anderson and his father, Lance. https://www.instagram.com/afxstudio/ We paired it with the much talked about, highly popular, Bring Her Back (2025) from the immensely talented Philippou brothers. This ones a banga! There's some good little behind the scenes tidbits of things Mike learned from Larry Van Duynhoven who helmed the makeup with his team at Scarecrew https://www.instagram.com/scarecrew_studios/ You can check his insta for some good Bring Her Back bits as well as some of the other things he and his Scarecrew are doing. We also joke about taking the kindergarten teacher to the basement, and Tyler is live from Morocco. All this and more on this supersized episode!

HTWDT Episode 25: 28 Days Later (2003) and 28 Years Later (2025)
It's our 25th episode, but it's all about the magic of the number 28. We are deeply engrossed in all things Danny Boyle, Alex Garland, and Sandra Bullock. We start with the original 28 Days Later and break it down. We have a Quiz! We begin with a spoiler-free portion of the new 28 Years Later, and we conclude it all with a bit of WTF did we just witness when we talk about the end everyone's chirping about?

HTWDT Episode 24: The Amityville Horror (1979) and Don't Listen (2020)
Hey Everyone! This time it's! The Amityville Horror (1979) more like Scammityville Borer...spoiler alert! And the more recent choice is the Spanish film Don't Listen (2020), also known as Voces in Europe. Don't Listen comes to us from one of our own Patreon supporters who continually suggested it until we gave in. Persistence is key kids! We're glad we finally listened! These two movies pair well together, and we think this is a fun episode! For some BTS pics from Don't Listen, check out the makeup FX team's Instagram, OXUM FX .

Just wait till you hear James, Steven Soderbergh impersonation. It's spot on! Some good behind-the-scenes content about Poltergeist (I wish Craig Reardon had an Instagram account!).

It's our 19th episode and our 3rd guest! With the new movie Final Destination Bloodlines (2025) coming out, we wanted to talk to Producer and friend of the show Craig Perry, who was involved in all of those films. Craig was also one of the main producers on the American Pie series, and so much more over the years. He's got a fantastic, fun energy and a lot to say. If you are a fan of the Final Destination movies, we cover all of them in this episode. He gives us a lot of behind-the-scenes stories, and even answers some questions our supporters wanted to know. It's a really terrific interview. Plus, Mike introduces him using the voice of Casey Kasem (yeah, most of you won't get that), and there's a mishap at the drive-in in the lobby break.

HTWDT Episode 18: Rec (2007) and Infested (2024)
This episode, Mike and James explore two titles with a little international flair. Both of these movies need a superintendent who's not a jerk to help the cast escape the horrors of their run-down apartment buildings. One has an issue with zombies and the other is infested with spiders... "What Nooo!!" Yes, that's right, Mark Wahlberg. On this episode, we get continental and discuss the now "classic" found footage Spanish film Rec (2007), which has gone on to spawn many sequels since it came out. As well as 2024's French, creepy spider movie Infested (titled Vermine in France). And since they are both in their respective home languages, we felt this was a great pairing suggestion by our Patreon supporters on Discord. So tune up on your French and Spanish classes, kick back and have a listen. If you're enjoying the show, and we assume if you made it this far...you are, please review the show somewhere (Apple or Spotify) and help us get the word out. Thanks!

Thanks for being here with us! In this episode we cover companionship. It’s a beautiful thing that shouldn’t be abused, or mixed with Voodoo apparently. Both of these films show how companionship can go terribly and amazingly wrong. We get deep into the original Childs Play (1988) where Chucky became the horror icon he is today. We talk a lot about the behind the scenes geniuses for Chucky. In a world before digital FX these guys, Kevin Yahger and crew, were rock stars. Our companion film (see what I did there) is Companion (2025) the first feature film from writer and TV director Drew Hancock. Starring Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quaid. For a look at Kevin Yahger, who designed and built Chucky, and what else he has been involved in check his insta. https://www.instagram.com/yagherfx/ Again Jeremy Selenfriend and his talented crew did a lot of Companion gore see this link. https://www.instagram.com/jselenfriend/p/DHYdkG2O0om/?img_index=1 Legacy Effects did the robot arm….I mean look at what they do! https://www.instagram.com/legacyeffects/ As usual, send any fan or hate mail to thewholedamnthing13@gmail.com For dumb-related memes and pics or short clips of things we mention, or behind the scens footage be sure to follow our Instagram.

The boys have a good time with this one discussing things like the maturing of young men who saw Marsha for the first time and what's in Dick Miller's bookstore. In our second feature, we discuss Leigh Whannel's new Blumhouse film Wolf Man (2025) There's a lot of behind-the-scenes discussion of the practical FX of both of these films. For more info on Arjen Tuiten who did the FX on the new Wolf Man film check out his insta. https://www.instagram.com/p/DHZ5o4avsZM/ As usual, send any fan or hate mail to thewholedamnthing13@gmail.com Tell us if we got it wrong this time, we want to hear what you think!

HTWDT - Episode 14: Saw (2004) and Heretic (2024)
On this episode, we take a class in low-budget filmmaking and discuss Saw (2004), which at the time was the directorial debut of James Wan. Who has since become one of the 4 basic food groups of horror. It was also the writing and acting debut of Leigh Whannel, who's gone on to be heavily involved in so many Wan and Blumhouse projects. After escaping the Saw trap. We discuss a movie about everyone's favorite and calming subject...religion! Of course, it's Last year's Heretic starring the always cheeky and loveable Hugh Grant in a less than loveable and cheeky role...depending on how you look at it. Let us know what you think! Also, at the end, we mention the voting for our version of March Madness its the Bracket Bloodbath.  Voting is happening all month on all our socials as well as Discord.

HTWDT - Episode 13: Maximum Overdrive (1986) and Y2K (2024)
Hey fans! Here is your bi-monthly slice of humor and movie reviews. We had a real good time on this one we actually had to stop twice because we were laughing too hard. You'll probably know when; it's absurd. We apologize in advance for the sophomoric humor we dove into. What's there to say about Stephen King's only movie he's ever directed? Well, apparently a lot. Maximum Overdrive is unabashedly in the so bad it's good category. A little movie about what if Trucks and "certain" machines rose up against us... In our second movie, we talk about SNL alum Kyle Mooney's Y2K, a brand new horror comedy about what if Y2K really happened and the machines did try to kill us all. I think you can see why we chose these movies to pair together. They go together like peanut butter and jelly. Enjoy and let us know in the comments what you think!
