Episode 513 – There’s No Human Parts

Posted on February 4, 2026 7:00 am by Matt Allex

Movies discussed: The Toxic Avenger (remake), Dust Bunny, Queens of the Dead, The Rug (short)

This episode features three reality-adjacent flicks, each with a very particular vision. We all love the lush & feverish Dust Bunny and the intentionally low-rent new Toxic Avenger, while Queens of the Dead gets mixed reviews.

Movies discussed: Friday the 13th (again!), Friday the 13th Part 2 (again!), Friday the 13th Part III (again!), Playing God (short)

Hey Hot Doggies! Hope y’all had a good holiday season! We extended ours a little – sorry for the wait.

This time we’re digging back into Friday the 13th, and finding they’re better than the culture remembers them to be. We had conflated a lot of the F13 knockoffs with the originals. It’s fascinating! Also, one of the best shorts we’ve seen in a long while.

Episode 511 – Do They Know It’s Stabmas Time?

Movies discussed: Influencers, Necropolis, I Madman, Irradiated (short)

Hey Hoy Doggies!

This is likely our last show of 2025, so we’re celebrating by doing the same thing we always do. This time we all fall under the sway of Influencers, but have to debate the relative merits of low-budget 80s flicks Necropolis and I, Madman (Matt’s wrong as usual, but he’s so dang cute we’ll keep him).

Happy listening, joyous holidays, and we’ll chat atcha soon.

Posted on October 12, 2025 7:00 am by Jason

Movies discussed: Rounding, Dangerous Animals, Monster Island, Sit Back (short)

Hey Hot Doggies, sorry we were gone so long – the film festival ate all of our free time and most of Matt’s sanity. But we’re back! This time we dig Monster Island, like parts of Dangerous Animals, and think Rounding is a great pilot for a medical drama but not much else.

Posted on September 18, 2025 7:00 am by Jason

Movies discussed: Ziam, Best Wishes to All, Venus, Mr. Static

This time we dig the martial artist vs. zombies flick Ziam, agree that Venus is too much of a good thing (or maybe too many different good things?), and 2/3rds of us think Best Wishes to All is great.
