Anne Huston (Caveat NYC) joins Brian and Josh to do battle with the Slender Man and other monsters from 2009’s viral YouTube horror series Marble Hornets. Their journey takes them from semi-incoherent college memories to the content cornucopia of the Something Awful Forums, Reddit, and early YouTube: reminders of an internet where people could create freely without extreme commercial pressure. They also talk a lot about something called Ong’s Hat. Hope you had a happy Hallow...

Topics include breasting boobily up and down stairs, the parallels with 1995's Hackers, and how impressively William Gibson manages to capture the feeling of being perpetually on the run.

On this episode of Fancy Movie Time with Brian and A.J., the Fancy Lads crack open their copy of the Malleus Maleficarum and kiss the Devil's butt as they cover Benjamin Christensen's 1922 silent horror essay: Häxan. Do the stunning diagrams and exquisite production design make it a Fancy Feast? Or does the lethargic pacing and outdated understanding of human psychology make it a Failure to Fancy? One thing's for sure: the Devil walks among us and he is an incorrig...

On this episode of Fancy Movie Time with Brian and A.J., the Fancy Lads grab their chessboards and face down Death itself in Ingmar Bergman's contemplative, plague-ridden romp through the Middle-Ages: The Seventh Seal. Does the film's incredible cinematography and Looney Tunes slapstick make the film a Fancy Feast? Or does the bleak tone and uneven execution make it a Failure to Fancy? Either way, one thing's for sure: the plague's all around us and we're all börgdeborg.

Does Truffaut's unblinking look into the terrors of childhood make this a Fancy Feast? Or does the unrelenting bleak tone make this a Failure to Fancy? Perhaps most importantly, who is Johnson Laserdick and why is he...
