July Patreon Exclusive Episode: Shock Waves!

It's Hot. It's Summer. It's time for FLORIDIAN CINEMA DISCOURSE!

What if Gilligan’s Island, but the consequences of post-war geopolitics? We're talking Shock Waves, the political topology of the sea, and all the horror's under the sun.

So, sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip, that started from this tropic port aboard this tiny consequence of governments absorbing Nazi leaders post-WWII.

Where The Green Ants Dream!

You suggested we cover Where The Green Ants Dream and your ghosts got to work. If we accomplish anything in today's episode, it's showing that horror and the gothic are such viable forms of media analysis even when not used on strict "horror" films.

Behind the Screams Monday Jun 27th 2022

Oh wonderful ghouls, 

We're experiencing some technical difficulties and you might notice that mic quality is a little haunted. Long story short, we soaked our mics in cursed crypt ooze and now I can't edit out all the wailing of the damned without the audio sounding a little tinny. 

I expect this to be fixed quickly, audio-exorcism pending. 

In spookier news, October is right around the corner and your ghosts, I mean hosts, have such sights to show you...&nbs...

THE DAY HAS FINALLY COME (MCU Review)

We had to chat about Doc Strange because of the complicated set of regulations that govern horror movie reviews and the presence of one Sam Raimi. 

It was an okay film, I guess, but the bar is so low here it's trapped in a dimension of low bars.
