Join me (Joanna) as I (virtually) sit down with Ryan Lambert for a Q&A about, you know, The Monster Squad! But these aren't my questions. They come straight from the mouths of babes - my babes, to be exact, Milo (8) and Ash (6)! So, if you ever wanted to know why Dracula drives a car or need an explanation about why the Mummy isn't all that scary, you've come to the right place. And Ryan's answers do not disappoint.

And while you're at it, don't forget to pick up a copy of the newly released MS doc Wolfman's Got Nards. It's clearly a must buy if you want to be in the goddamn club.

Disclaimer(s): I used a phone recording app, so the quality isn't stellar, but it works! Also, I had a small coughing fit (not COVID, I promise) and forgot to edit it out. Oops (insert eye-roll emoji here).

Phew - we did it! We finally finished part 2 of our Friday the 13th revisit! In this episode, we look back at The New Blood through the 2009 remake/reboot/re-installment. And then we rank them alllll! 

Freddy vs. Jason gets a semi-redemption viewing, Joanna gets tipsy, and we preview a couple now-expired Terror Tweets! 

Friday the 13th - parts 7 through 2009
Drinking game options: Every time we talk about it "being a while," diss summer, and/or get excited about Halloween. Also, when we mention the Crystal Lake Memories doc.

In honor of a belated Valentine's Day, on this most recent episode, we discuss all four (FOUR) Poison Ivy movies! From Drew to the Ice Box, it's a wild ride full of deceit, icky sex, flowery names, and, well, a lot of boobs. Obviously.

We also chat up a couple recent movie viewings (The Terror of Mechagodzilla) and tease the next episode (Stephen King-centric).  

Drinking game: Let's get wasted, every time we mention boobs.

Feb 3, 2020

We're back and we're kicking off the new year with an episode 2+ years in the making - it's a revisit of the Warlock trilogy! (In truth, we meant to do this topic in October of 2017.) We chat up Julian Sands, Bruce Payne (not Wayne), director Anthony Hickox, and the lost charm of 90s direct-to-video sequels. 


Of course, we also talk about recent movie viewings, Twitter picks for recasting the Warlock, and tease the next episode (Poison Ivy?). 

Drinking game: Every time 90s nostalgia is referenced.

Join us this month for a special metal music-minded Halloween episode! We revisit ROCKTOBER BLOOD (1984) and TRICK OR TREAT (1986), before giving HACK-O-LANTERN (1988) a first-time viewing! And, boy, are we glad we did. 

We also chat up recent movie viewings a bit -- including some theater watches like READY OR NOT and HOBBS & SHAW (which made for a delightful double-feature, by the way). 

Drinking game: Every time a band is mentioned (fictional or not); every time Johnny sniffles.

Annnd we're back.... with the man behind the mask!

Yes, we are revisiting all of the Friday the 13th movies and talking about them (as we did with A Nightmare on Elm Street a while back). On this episode we begin with parts 1 - 6, where not only does Jason's look and presence evolve, but our judgments do, as well! We also chat about recent movie viewings, as always.

Drinking game options: Every time we talk about a final girl or Tommy Jarvis.

May 31, 2019

Every so often we like to give movies another watch, another go to see if our opinions change. Sometimes we appreciate a movie more (Satan's Little Helper) and sometimes we like it even less (RZ's Halloween 2). So, this week we're tackling two previous genre disappointments: The Video Dead and Street Trash. Listen to see how and if we change our tune on these 1987 flicks...

We also chat up recent movie viewings AND interview our wild kids for 5 minutes!   

Drinking game options: Every time we talk about set design; every time we talk about icky characters.

May 17, 2019

Oh, shit — we’re back with a “new” BP podcast episode! We say “new” because it was actually recorded two month ago in March and has been sitting stagnant, unedited, while life got super-crazy. But here we are!

On this episode of the BP podcast, we celebrate our 10-year wedding anniversary by looking back at films from 2009! But to add some spice to the format, we’re giving out movie superlatives (i.e. best kill, best villain, etc). And it’s a long, rambling one — also one where Joanna is clearly pretty tired and a little drunk. We also chat about “recent” movie viewings and Monster Mania!

Drinking game options: Every time we go into an impromptu “deep dive” of a certain actor of actress; every time we forget someone’s name.

Feb 17, 2019

Join us as we talk about Showgirls 2: Penny's from Heaven and Basic Instinct 2!

In honor of February and Valentine's Day, we're amping up our sexy thriller talk with a couple of sequels inspired by their Paul Verhoeven counterparts! One is cheeky, two and a half hours long, and written/directed/edited by its leading lady... and the other is Basic Instinct 2.

We also chat a few recent movie viewings; go on a tangent about DVD packaging; and read some tweets. Plus, we tease the next episode topic: something surrounding the year 2009!

Drinking game options: Every time Joanna praises Showgirls 2.

Yes, it’s mid-January, but the podcast is back with a rockin’ New Year’s countdown of our favorite movie musical moments! No, we’re not talking about musicals – just perfectly placed songs in genre movies. (Think: the soundtrack to A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master.) We do an official countdown where we each pick 5 movies to add to the mix – and they are secret picks with surprisingly (sorta) no overlap!

We also chat about recent movie viewings (Deadpool 2), read some tweets about first movie watches of 2019, and tease the next episode (stupid sexy sequels?).

Drinking game options: Every time Joanna giggles or says something is "of the time."

Join us on this podcast episode as we dish on our Thanksgiving movie marathon picks. And we're not talking about the obvious standards like Blood Rage or Planes, Trains and Automobiles. For this chat, we each pick five movies that would suit our Thanksgiving line-up. Whether it's about family or food - we make our own rules and state the case for our picks!

November is also our own "Italian Horror Movie Month" - so, we briefly discuss the flicks we've watched so far (including Tenebre and The House by the Cemetery)! We also read YOUR "comfort food" movie selections and preview our next podcast topic for December! (And don't forget to sign up to receive a holiday card from us!)

Summer is basically over, so we're sending it off with a camp-tastic good time! In this episode, we each pick 6 camp movie characters that we'd want to bunk with in our own fictional cinematic camp (or in real life). We also talk recent movie viewings, including the I Know What You Did Last Summer franchise (does Jennifer Love Hewitt actually exist?!). 

Plus, we tease our next episode - a mini blind spot director project! Think... Phantom of the Paradise. 

Drinking game options: Every time Johnny's bunk mate pick is an asshole dude; every time Loverboy is played.
