Rank & Vile

After a monthlong hiatus, glory hallelujah, Quincy returns! We dig into a bevy of listener requests, including heavy-hitters like THE THING and NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. Amazingly, we were able to rank THE THING without having to start an entirely new podcast where all we do is talk about how much we love THE THING. (Okay but what if we started a podcast entitled SO HERE'S THE THING and it's just us talking about which member of the Arctic base we think has the prettiest eyes, because.)

On this episode, Ryan's partner Christina returns to the podcast to talk about THE STEPFORD WIVES (1975) and also subterranean gorefest TRENCH 11. Also discussed: boyfriends in frats, dunkin' on Kubrick, and WWI-era movies that go "I bet the Germans are basically Nazis already, right."

This week, we're joined once again by comic writer and podcaster Evan McDevitt (Strange Romance Vol. 3) as we dig into DEVILMAN CRYBABY and GREMLIN (singular, just the one gremlin). Also discussed are Lisa Frank nihilism, Castlevania tattoos, and Quincy's travails with the sheer number of taints featured in DEVILMAN CRYBABY.

Josh Copeland returns to fill in for Quincy this week as he and Ryan dig into the brand-new HELLRAISER: JUDGMENT and also, by God, James Cameron's ALIENS. Also discussed are Instagram cenobites, the perfection of Sigourney Weaver, and interoffice Hell politics.

This week, we talk about and rank HAPPY DEATH DAY, THE SWORD & THE CLAW, and DEAD ALIVE! Also discussed: 90s teen comedies, bland college boys, and why THE DEVIL'S REJECTS is overrated.

Holy shit, y'all, it's our 50th episode! We do some real heavy-hitters on this episode, digging into DRACULA, PSYCHO, and IT (2017). We talk about Anthony Perkins lookin' like a snack, compare Pennywises between the 2017 adaptation and the 1990 miniseries, and yell about the inexplicable armadillos in Dracula.

On this episode, we're joined by comedian and podcaster Jessimae Peluso as we dig into three episodes of Black Mirror ("Shut Up and Dance," "White Bear," and "Playtest") and also A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3: DREAM WARRIORS. We also talk about sobbing into chicken tenders, monster breasts, and competitive handshakes.

On this episode, we dig into HAUNTERS: THE ART OF THE SCARE, WALKING OUT, BLOODLANDS, and two listener requests: THE VVITCH and SANTA'S SLAY! We also ruminate on desensitization, the ethical boundaries of mom's spaghetti, and demon wagers involving Canadian sports.

On this week's episode, we rank DEATH BED: THE BED THAT EATS, THE REAL CHAINSAW MASSACRE, and THE UNEXPLAINED: WITCHES, WEREWOLVES, AND VAMPIRES. We also dig into a bunch of listener requests (including CARRIE and THE EXORCIST) and talk about nightmares involving Gary Busey, old-timey catfishing, and attempting to explain MTV's Next to children.

On this week's episode, we talk about THE LURE, THE MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF A MINOR, and possibly one of the most bananas Hong Kong horror movies ever made, SEEDING OF A GHOST. Also discussed are the dangers of playing mahjong, dead Mumfords, and Black Plague trivia.

Filling in for Quincy this week is Ryan's partner Christina, who has a lot of feelings about 2016 French-Belgian horror film RAW, as well as the first two seasons of ASH VS. EVIL DEAD. Also discussed are the cowardice of Michael Douglas, dads covered in scarves, and being fed by David Lynch like a baby bird. Mentioned/of interest: The Guardian interview with RAW writer-director Julia Ducourneau Snippets in this video of Ducourneau speaking about the film APPETITES: WHY WOMEN WANT by Caroline Knapp 

It's the Christmas episode! We talk about TRAGEDY GIRLS, but then we also get festive with BETTER WATCH OUT, BLACK CHRISTMAS (2006) and GOOD TIDINGS. We talk about why we hate Hostage Horror as a genre, kids and weird food choices, and how the BLACK CHRISTMAS remake is basically the Aristocrats joke.

Filling in for Quincy this week is Alexandra Rowland (author of the upcoming A CONSPIRACY OF TRUTHS) as she and Ryan talk about GREMLINS 2: THE NEW BATCH and "Blink" from Doctor Who. Or, like, TRY to discuss GREMLINS 2 through conventional means, but you can probably only adequately talk about this movie through the use of finger puppets, a morning radio show soundboard, and several pornographic bumper stickers.

On this episode we're joined by 30 DAYS OF PLIGHT'S Justin Cimba as we talk about HONEYMOON, THE UNTAMED, and TRAIN TO BUSAN! Also discussed: the 20-Sided Dice method of movie selection, weirdo tentacle sex, and what makes us cry when we watch horror movies.

This week, we're joined by comic writer Chad Bowers (ASH VS. ARMY OF DARKNESS, X-MEN '92) as we dig into JAWS, ROCK 'N' ROLL NIGHTMARE, and THE EVIL DEAD. We also talk about weird Southern video shacks, KISS tie-ins, and that time George Lucas got his head caught in Bruce The Shark's mouth for three hours.

On this episode, Quincy and his wife Emily (who's graciously filling in for Ryan this week) talk about the purest genre of body horror: Pregnancy! Bodies doing some fucking weird, uncomfortable stuff! They dig into ROSEMARY'S BABY, PREVENGE, and ANTIBIRTH, as well as Emily's hatred of wrestling, SAW as a tender coming-of-age film for millennials, and not messing around with any Devil Stuff.

On this episode, we dig into PUMPKINHEAD, MOTEL HELL, THREE...EXTREMES, and the Fright Night Fatal Four-Way from the Halloween episode of 205 Live. We also touch on televangelists, why Tony Nese is the strongest boy, and why the South doesn't want you to come visit.

On this episode, we talk about FEMALE PRISONER SCORPION: BEAST STABLE, RAW FORCE (KUNG FU CANNIBALS) and DAGUERROTYPE. Also discussed are the My Way karaoke killings, cruise ship mishaps, and monsters made entirely of boobs.

Filling in for Ryan this week is longtime buddy Ian Chambers, who joins Quincy to talk about CHILDREN OF THE CORN, MICHAEL JACKSON'S GHOSTS, SHAUN OF THE DEAD, PET SEMATARY, and a bunch of others. Also, Quincy receives an IRL jump scare when his son surprises him while he and Ian discuss PET SEMATARY, so it's pretty great.

My God, it's happening. After dozens of episodes, WE FINALLY RANK JOHN CARPENTER'S HALLOWEEN. We also talk about PAGAN INVASION: TRICK OR TREAT? and CURIOUS GEORGE: A HALLOWEEN BOO FEST, but holy shit, y'all, this is one of those good Milestone Episodes because we finally figure out where HALLOWEEN fits on our list...so far.
