Dead And Lovely Horror Movie Podcast

After a year of podcasting, we're getting a little meta with Kevin Smith's Tusk. We talk about how we got into listening to podcasts, which podcasts we listen to, and how we started podcasting. We also get into a movie about a man being sewn into a realistic walrus suit. Happy one-year anniversary to us all! Music by Ben Eller

You need to watch Julia Ducournau's Raw. Ben Eller and Steven Spratling think you should. We make the best of the worst Buzzfeed quiz we've ever done. We get into Frenchness and cannibalism. We also record one of the best horror movie podcasts ever recorded. Music by Ben Eller

Coming back to the Friday the 13th series, Ben Eller and Steven Spratling cover Part 2. We discuss sophomore efforts in horror franchises. We get real deep into whether or not Jason Voorhees is in this film and, if not, what the killer's actual identity may be. We have some weird theories. Music by Ben Eller

The hype surrounding Paco Plaza's Veronica began a month ago. This week, Ben Eller and Steven Spratling get together to discuss the film. We introduce Watch This, Not That. Then, we get deep into who actually called it the "scariest movie ever," and whether or not it's even a good movie. Music by Ben Eller

XX is directed and written by women. Ben Eller and Steven Spratling discuss other great movies directed by women. Steven admits he doesn't like The Fifth Element. And we get deep into each segment of this anthology. Music by Ben Eller

This week Ben Eller and Steven Spratling get together to discuss The Blackcoat's Daughter. We take the longest quiz with the least satisfying conclusion to date. During that we tell a lot of great stories. Then we discuss this slow-burning gem of a horror film in-depth. Music by Ben Eller

Sometimes people inexplicably claim a horror movie is good. This week, Ben Eller and Steven Spratling simply cannot account for taste when they cover Urban Legend. We talk Dollywood (nee Hollywood) Steve's 2300-mile drive across the country. We get into why Urban Legend is terrible. And, if you love Michael Bay's Armageddon, the last minute of this episode may shake you to the core. Music by Ben Eller

This week a special early edition of Dead and Lovely in which Ben Eller and Steven Spratling discuss Jordan Peele's already-classic film Get Out. We talk a good bit about Black Panther and a little about Thor: Ragnarok. We get into racism, white supremacy, and cultural appropriation. It's a hoot! Music by Ben Eller

Coming at you this week with possibly the best zombie movie ever made: Dawn of the Dead (1978). Ben Eller and Steven Spratling find out if they would survive a zombie apocalypse. Then they talk about what this movie has to say about the media and consumerism. Also, we talk about how lame most early music videos are. Music by Ben Eller

This week Ben Eller and Steven Spratling discuss Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. We get into great third parts of other series. We've got strong opinions on how consistent the first three Elm Street movies actually are. We also talk about Dokken's experience with Freddy Krueger. Music by Ben Eller

This week Ben Eller and Steven Spratling kick off Black History month with Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight. We talk about 90s Hip Hop, some pretty good special effects and Billy Zane! Music by Ben Eller

Coming at you this week with a Korean action-thriller-horror flick, Ben Eller and Steven Spratling are discussing I Saw The Devil (악마를 보았다). We find out Ben is most likely a serial killer. We discuss whether or not the length (2 hours, 20 mins) is justified. And what's up with the flat female characters? Music by Ben Eller

This week, Ben Eller and Steven Spratling talk about Hellbound: Hellraiser II. Sometimes sequels are great. Sometimes they're Hellraiser II. We start off the episode comparing the cenobites to The Undertaker's Ministry of Darkness and talk way too much about our favorite wrestling stables and tag teams. Then we talk about the few things we like and numerous things we dislike about a sequel that should have been great. Music by Ben Eller

By popular demand, Ben Eller and Steven Spratling are talking Turkish horror film Baskin. We consult the wizards at Buzzfeed to find out which cult we should join. David Lee Roth has a peppy way of talking people off of ledges. Also, we make some sense of this movie only to discover that the more you understand it, the stranger it is. Music by Ben Eller

We're talking about The Ring (2002) this week. Ben Eller and Steven Spratling talk about remakes. They're all bad, right? (No. You're wrong. Why would you think that?) What makes us think The Ring is better than Ringu? What does this movie have to say about TV, in general? Music by Ben Eller

This week, Ben Eller and Steven Spratling are discussing Event Horizon. What was Paul W. S. Anderson's original version of this movie like? Is it really lacking in originality as the reviews say? What will we do when we run out of Sam Neill movies? (Mourn) Music by Ben Eller

This week, Ben Eller and Steven Spratling cover their wildest wild card movie selection to date: Die Hard. Why has this movie remained popular when so many other 80s action movies have fallen by the wayside? What makes the script so awesome? Is it a Christmas movie? Is it a buddy-cop movie? (It's kind of both) Music by Ben Eller

It's time to talk Christmas: Black Christmas that is! Ben Eller and Steven Spratling get into the first real slasher film this week. What's up with the abortion angle? Why is Margot Kidder so awesome? Why does Hollywood Steve get the Alabama senate election date so wrong? (Doesn't matter anyway, our faith in humanity was somewhat restored) Music by Ben Eller

This week, Ben Eller and Steven Spratling talk about The Omen (1976). Which are our favorite religious horror movies? What role does the Christian religion actually play in this movie? What are Satan's powers? (Weather control, army of Rottweilers, sex with jackals?) Music by Ben Eller

Finally, Ben Eller and Steven Spratling get together to talk about Shaun of the Dead. How did this influence the zombie renaissance of the mid-2000s? Does categorizing this as a horror comedy undercut its genuine dramatic elements? Is there a better-written horror movie? (Probably not) Music by Ben Eller
