The Red Snowman Toymaker from Pottersville

RotP celebrate the holidays with Silent Night Deadly Night 5: The Toymaker, Jack Frost 2: Revenge of the Mutant Killer Snowman, Red Christmas, and Pottersville. Some laughs are had, lots of pain is felt in the feels, and at least one of us might be drunk. Just like every holiday get together! Plus- CONTEST TIME EXTENDED! Listen to last week's episode for details. Good Luck!

Enjoy Episode 31- The Red Snowman Toymaker from Pottersville

Strange Rockets

We have a run in with cutting edge future technology as pictured in 1995 with Kathryn Bigelow's Strange Days which leaves us bloody, hungover, and nearly jacked into the big black. We spend a little time back in Hollywood's Golden Era with Joe Johnston's The Rocketeer and come to our senses before being completely seduced by Timothy Dalton...but it's pretty damn close. Also gender swapped future reboots, action movie blasphemy, and at least half of us have seen The Last Jedi.

Episode 30- Strange Rockets

Oh, Hi Frank!

This week RotP enter the twisted alien mind of... uh...um...eh... "auteur genius"... sure, why not... Tommy Wiseau and feel real feelings as Lisa tears us all apart. After that we climb out of Miami harbor to watch Thomas Jane, as Marvel Comic's one man crime murdering army Frank Castle, inflict a lot of revenge on John Travolta, as the man in a terrible wig who ordered his family killed. A fun time was not had by all. Each film inspired at least one rage rant and one general surrender to ennui. Join us, won't you?

Episode 29- Oh, Hi Frank!

The Man Who Fell to KHAAAAAAAAAAAAN

This week RotP bravely faces down an old, mostly forgotten in the haze of the impending middle age that surrounds 3/4 of them in the classic Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. After that goes spectacularly wrong, the clutch on to the brilliant star that was David Bowie in the equally classic The Man Who Fell to Earth. 

Episode 28- The Man Who Fell to KHAAAAAAAAAAAAN

The Gun Above All Things

This week we discuss Asia Argento's 2004 drama of abuse, more abuse, and endless cameos The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things. We also take a trip to the range for Christopher McQuarrie's bullet spewing 2000 crime-thriller The Way of the Gun. 

Episode 27- The Gun Above All Things

Of Turkey and Meth

We go far and above to pay tribute to the 90s sci-fi camp "classic" Barb Wire with four other movies that connect to it in various ways. We Pledge This! at Gamma Gamma but even Paris Hilton can see our middle age through the make up. Fleeing the wrath of Paris, we shoot ourselves into space to watch Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie. An accident with the Hubble sends us crashing back down to Cook County. Finally we try to use what the meth heads taught us to kill our roommates for 4.0s to get ahead of The Curve. Can you figure out the connections before we tell you? Is there a better Casablanca remake than Barb Wire? Let us know in the comments, on Facebook, on Twitter, or on Instagram. You can also find all episodes of RotP on iTunes, Google Play, and Stitcher.

Episode 26- Of Turkey and Meth

The Mona Goodbye

We take a job with Bob Hoskins as driver-bodyguard-general lackey for Mona Lisa for a bit before going to see our old pal Philip Marlowe in 1970s Hollywood for The Long Goodbye. 

Episode 25- The Mona Goodbye

El Haunted Descent of 31 Brass Lords

This week we learn that revenge isn't as fulfilling as we'd like no matter how ridiculous our plan from Descent (2007) and take a long hard look at news induced panic with our Brass Eye (1997 & 2001). Finally we run from 31 endlessly chattering clowns, tag team Doctor Satan's nefarious plan with The Haunted World of El Superbeasto, and play demon umbilical double dutch with The Lords of Salem.

Episode 24- El Haunted Descent of 31 Brass Lords

Popstars Head to Haddonfield

 This week we watch the Monkees struggle against the cultural views they found themselves trapped in as they faded out of popularity in Head, we get easy suck up jobs in Conner4Real's entourage and learn how to Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping. After Tyler gets us fired for molesting the wrong staircase, he talks us into taking a detour to poke Rob Zombie's version of Michael Myers with sticks while he's still safely locked up. He's still safely locked up, right?

Episode 23- Popstars Head to Haddonfield

All For You: The Rob Zombie Special part 1

We watched all seven Rob Zombies movies and spent hours discussing them. Then we lost the whole damn recording. So this time we are taking a slightly different approach. We will be taking on two RZ movies a week for the next three weeks in addition to the normal episodes. This makes Tyler very happy... maybe a bit too happy... In part one we take a tour of the country with the Firefly family and see the 1970s exploitation sights never to be seen again (until next week anyway). Craig is turned into a Jackalope, Kevin gets chased by Hell's Power Ranger through a mine, Dave gets raped in a seedy motel and thrown in front of a semi, and Tyler changes his name to Prof. Quincy Adams Wagstaff.

At Midnight in Cawdor, We have Porn and Corn

RotP watch another vastly different group of films of varying objective quality. We kick things off by watching the legendary 2000s exploitation import A Serbian Film. We try to see a small correctional facility production of Macbeth, lit only by the ghost light, in A Haunting in Cawdor. We take a trip to Brazil and kick up the legendary cinematic bogeyman Coffin Joe in his debut At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul. Finally we complete the week by killing our parents and starting a cult in Chicago with Children of the Corn 3: Urban Harvest.

Raiders of the Podcast episode 21- At Midnight in Cawdor, We have Porn and Corn

Happy Owl Headed Zombie Pig Day to Us

Our journey through October horror continues. We discuss Michele Soavi's Stage Fright, J. Lee Thompson's Happy Birthday to Me, James Issac's Pig Hunt, and  Jaume Balagueró & Paco Plaza's [REC].
Episode 2- Happy Owl Headed Zombie Pig Day to Us

Julia's Possessed House has a Pulse

To kick of out delve into the most horrorful time of the year we watch Possession, Hausu, Kairo, and Julia. Four very different movies from three different countries. One of us plans to start a new life as a groovy mystery solver with a groovy lady sidekick... or maybe he's the sidekick. He wasn't all that clear on it. Enjoy.
Episode 18- Julia's Possessed House has a Pulse

Gonzo Fishing In A Brazilian Imaginarium

This week we stick our legs into the river Gilliam. First we try to catch an Elusive Tuttle with a broken heat regulator. Next we try using a net to snare a New York Grail Knight. Using five sheets of high-power blotter acid as bait we attempt to catch a rare Semen Stained Duke. Finally we use the last of our rope to get ourselves a trophy Doctor but instead wind up having to make a choice between difficult self-fulfillment or easy ignorance. Enjoy.

Episode 18- Gonzo Fishing in a Brazilian Imaginarium

It's Not Easy Being Breen

 Joined by a special guest, we discuss Stanley Milgram experiment overview and arty pseudo-biopic Experimenter and see the elephant it walks down the hall. Later we come to the point in everyone's life where they must decide to let Neil Breen into their heart or face the cold and suffering of life without his loving influence. Some of us does the former, some of us do the latter. Enjoy.
Raiders of the Podcast Episode 17- It's Not Easy Being Breen

Baise Highway

With Tyler holed up powerless and cowering in his DVD closet because of Hurricane Irma, the rest of us forge ahead with the 2000 French crime thriller Baise-Moi and David Lynch's Lost Highway. We also reveal the winner of last week's contest and try to discuss IT without any spoiler. We are moderately successful with both. Enjoy.

Raiders of the Podcast Episode 16- Baise Highway

Texas Chain Hentai 2: The Abnormal Massacre

This week we watch Tobe Hooper's 1974 horror classic, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and Yuichi Fukuda's 2016 superhero not yet and probably never classic, Hentai Kamen 2: The Abnormal Crisis. So put some pilfered panties on your face, gas up the Sthil, embrace your inner pervert, put some meat on the grill and enjoy Episode 15- Texas Chain Hentai 2: The Abnormal Massacre

Forever Feed

  This week we discuss the unfair depictions of shysters in Hong Kong and Australia's secret Internet morality police. How do we take Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao playing completely against type? How do we accept that  Lieutenant Commander Steven J. "Steve" McGarrett, USNR is keeping woman who came to the tropical paradise for vacation and stuffing them with fast food? Not that we judge. I mean as long as they are all consenting adults, it's none of our business.
Let us know what you think of this week's movies here, on Facebook, or, if you have less than the character limit of hate, on Twitter. You can also find RotP on iTunes and Google Play.

Broom with a View

We take a brief tour through prison movies. We get swept up in Stoic, gaze upon Elvis Presley's rhythmic gyrations in Jailhouse Rock, find a scapegoat for all our building anger and seething violence in Short Eyes, and find an outlet for our anti-authoritarian  personality disorders in Cool Hand Luke.
Episode 13- Broom with a View

Blood and Roses

We talk about the tragically underseen Austrian serial killer thriller Angst and the film adaption of the long running Off-Broadway musical that is based on Roger Corman's cult classic of the same name Little Shop of Horrors. Is this finally the magic combination of viewing bliss? Will these films finally cure their cinematic indegestion? Can the hyperbole against the up coming Little Shop remake get any more vicious based on gut reactions alone?

Episode 12- Blood and Roses

Nineteen Forty-Spun

We discuss Spielberg's World War II farce 1941 and Jonas Åkerlund's black comedy drug saga Spun.

Episode 11- Nineteen Forty-Spun

C.H.U.D. or Glenda?

How Much Wood Would a WoodCHUD Chuck

If A WoodCHUD Could CHUD Wood? This week we watch the 1984 cult classic C.H.U.D. and Ed Wood, Tim Burton's biopic of the cult filmmaker . Episode 10- C.H.U.D. or Glenda?

No More Room

Our tribute to George A. Romero. From Night of the Living Dead to Survival of the Dead. No film is left behind... even if we really didn't want to watch Bruiser again. We also find a little time for Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk. Let us know if we missed anything or if we are way off base with our views. Enjoy No More Room- A Tribute to George A Romero

White WIllow

We give our takes on White Lightnin', the 2009 dramatic thriller by Dominic Murphy starring Edward Hogg and Carrie Fisher inspired by but not very true to the life of Jesco White, and Willow, the 1988 Ron Howard picture produced by George Lucas starring Warwick Davis and Val Kilmer. One is a good movie the other is not. Can you guess which is which?

White Willow

Oblivious Skeleton

We watch The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra, Larry Blamire's parody homage to 1950s alien invasion movies,and Oblivon, Full Moon's 1994 sci-fi western. A good time was had by half of us.

Oblivious Skeleton

Another Day in the Shaft

We watch Larry Clark's Another Day in Paradise, which was better when it was called Drugstore Cowboy, and Dick Maas's The Shaft, a US remake of his earlier film De Lift.
Spoilers ahead. Episode 6- Another Day in the Shaft

Vicious Cycles

We watch Monster, Ginger Snaps, and Excision. We also wonder why the hell Hollywood didn't give Patty Jenkins another shot at a large release movie for 13 years and get a brief dip into the offerings at the 70th Edinburgh International Film Festival. Episode 5- Vicious Cycles

Froggy Territory

We discuss the tragically overlooked 1987 action film Enemy Territory starring Ray Parker Jr., Jan-Michael Vincent, and Tony Todd. We also try to catch the 1988 Roddy Piper cult classic Hell Comes to Frogtown so we can put it in our terrarium. Episode 4- Froggy TerritoryEpisode 4- Froggy Territory

Dixiebreaker

We watch Icebreaker, the 2000 classic that made Bruce Campbell the go to bald villain and Sean Astin a huge action star, and Dixieland, the 2015 movie called Dixieland.

Episode 3- Dixiebreaker

Skullduggery

There's something huge on the island. It's covered with hairy and taking steps toward a giant cinematic universe. Episode 2- Skullduggeryhttps://archive.org/download/raidersofthepodcast/Skullduggery.mp3

Alien of the Covenant

Hi. We are Raiders of the Podcast. We are a weekly podcast about movies. Sometimes new ones, often older ones, frequently bad ones. Soon we will be avalible on iTunes but right now Apple doesn't like us much. So until we get the shrine to Steve Jobs finished you can find us on Archive or our blogspot. We like cowboyhats, face hugs, strangely sexual atomaton interactions, and listeners like you. Episode 1- Alien of the Covenant.
