Breen There, Done That

Keiran returns as we dive headlong into THREE BREEN FILMS! Double Down (2005), I Am Here... Now (2009), and Pass Thru (2016)! An epic discussion of one of the world's most interesting filmmakers. To stop Tyler from killing himself in Breen driven despair, we make a short detour to discuss Lexi Alexander's Punisher: War Zone. It only helps him a little.

We're All Dhoomed

This week we take a dip into some new territory with Dhoom, the 2004 Indian action thriller musical about a violent and sadistic cop who blackmails a local bike shop owner to help take down a gang of thieves. Then we look at the 1994 Roger Corman produced but still unreleased superhero film The Fantastic Four and it's companion documentary Doomed. Also Dave rants about the three other FF features, Tyler almost dies from Kevin's machinations, and Craig returns to try and finish him off.

The Treasure of the Empty Box Truck

This week, as Craig sidelines himself for recovery from violent diarrhea received at a Slayer concert, we rush headlong into two very different films. First up is The Bunny Game. The tale of a young drug addicted prostitute who is abducted by a trucker and tortured. No points for correctly guessing who picked that one. Then we take a trip to the gold laden Mexican hills with three guys in search of their fortunes. Does The Treasure of the Sierra Madre or is it really a statement about humanity? 
I don't know but you might after this week. Join us and Bogie, won't we?

We See Paradise by the Mad Horde Fight

After a hectic month with the October Horror Challenge, we finally settle back into the normal flow. This week Dave unleashes Paradise, a Canadian Blue Lagoon rip off. Will any of us ever look at the wonderful Phoebe Cates the same again? Is Willie Aames really the worst protagonist we have seen? Kevin counters with the cult classic Australian and Hong Kong co-production The Man from Hong Kong. A Bond, a lot of civilian casualties and the second most obnoxious lead we have ever had to endure.
All that and a digression into 007, how we ended our OHCs, and the genesis of Kevin's passion for goth girls is revealed to be the same place Craig and T's passion for the Divine Miss M.

Slashers Forsaken

This week we sit down with some seriously underappreciated slasher movies and ask "How you doin'?" in our best daytime talk show host styles. First we hear the sad and lonely song of the original slasher parody and closeted cult favorite Student Bodies. Then we hear the heartbreaking tale of murder, collegiate athletics, how not to run murder investigations, racism and jigsaw puzzles that has haunted the halls of Pieces memory. Next our youngest forsaken bloodbath, The Tripper, tells us about early 2000s politics and why Thomas Jane should have a statue in every major world city. Finally, we hear the sad tale of Eric Binford's decent in to a madness that the general public expects from every open horror fan, that consuming Fade to Black.

All that and some other stuff...

2Raid2Podcast

This week it is all sequels. Be they tentative second steps into becoming a full blown major franchise or contractually obligated bludgeons to capitalize on an actor's draw after it explodes or as a desperate attempt to keep hold of the film rights so some other asshole can't make a better version sequels are one of the most enduring threads of film history. This week we take a look at the magnificence of Terry O'Quinn in The Stepfather 2: Make Room for Daddy, the interesting idea that was turned into a quick cash grab by the studio Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2, the surprisingly on point for a lot of today's conversations on athletic rape culture The Rage: Carrie 2, and the fetish film Species 2: We Didn't Bother with a Subtitle.

Episode 71- 2Raid2Podcat: Second Times Around

Fission Chips

The October Challenge continues! This week Raiders takes a look at Sci-Fi Horror. First up is the film which gave us a global recognition of kaiju, birthed the tokusatu genre, hatched the longest running film franchise in history, and has made Craig live in fear for years... the one true king of the monster's 1954's Godzilla (GOJIRA!!!). Next we dip our toes into New Wave British horror with Norman J Warren's serial killer lesbians vs people-eating cat alien romp Prey... a movie Dave is certain is packed with meaning that he just didn't pick up on. That is followed by Borg on a Russian boat movie, Virus, an old favorite of Tyler's... which may or may not cause everyone else great pain. Finally we take a look at one of John Carpenter's many cult classics, Prince of Darkness. All that and Kevin keeps his extra watches classy and mocks the rest of us for wallowing in cinematic sewage runoff.
