Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast

Lo, we have returned with the prophesied episode, that which much come after the others doth came. And on the third Basket Case, they wept. And it was bad. So say we all. Wait, what? Remember at the end of Basket Case 2 how after a really boggy round of lump rutting between Belial and Eve, Duane decided it was time to reconnect with his brother? No? Well, no worries, because this movie begins with a “previously on” segment, and then it’s all downhill from there! Join us as we watch Granny Ruth and the gang take the Basket Case franchise on a road trip movie full of surprise boobies, dominatrix cops-daughters, sausage linked babies and the poetic stylings of an 11-armed guy that may still have difficulty wiping his own ass. All that, and we get our first musical number here on Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast approved of and blessed by your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! If you would like to recommend a movie, tell us which movie type you hope Basket Case 4 emulates (it’s Weekend at Belial’s), or ask us horror movie-related questions, you can do so by reaching out to us on Twitter: @LoathsomePod Instagram: @LoathsomePod Facebook: @LoathsomePodcast Email: LoathsomeThings@gmail.com The Loathsome Things Official Top 10 Greatest Horror Movies of All Time List (of those we've reviewed for an episode of Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast) (1) Andrzej Żuławski's Possession (1981) (2) Brian De Palma’s Carrie (1976) (3) Rose Glass’ Saint Maud (2019) (4) Bob Clark’s Black Christmas (1974) (5) George A Romero’s Night of the Living Dead (1968) (6) Alex Garland’s Men (2022) (7) Miike Takashi’s Audition (1999) (8) Ti West’s X (2022) (9) Jeremy Gillespie and Steven Kostanski's The Void (2016) (10) Bob Clark’s Deathdream (1974)   Honorable Mentions: Beyond the Door III (1989) – Not a great horror movie, but so much fun to watch!

In the 1970s, someone thought it’d be a cool idea to mix the ideas of Tod Browning’s Freaks with a Frankenstein story genetically modified with DNA. This horror movie trades in the objectification of people that are different, women tits getting a breath of fresh air, and really cool fast-motion plant footage. We tried to be careful with our language and ableism discourse. Maybe we didn’t nail it, but we tried our darndest and are always striving to get better. Speaking of getting better… uh… keep listening to Loathsome Things: the best place to get horror movie summaries without having the watch the horror movies yourself because you’re too scared and we aren’t, so there!

At long last, we arrive at our destination of having gotten through all that snatch with this 90s-tastic piece of something from the something-addled something of someone’s something. What am I talking about? Have I been taken over by some sort of horrific racial superiority mindset noodling its way through the ranks of the military? That’s right, the year is 1993, the director is Abel Ferrara, the female nudity is portrayed as either being of minors or done to minors, because … well… I really don’t know. We enjoyed but can’t really recommend that you watch this remakester of a movie that would fit nicely in the Twin Peaks or maybe even Swamp Thing universe. The acting is well-done, the practical effects are pretty damn good, the underagedness is creepy, the deus ex machina is cranked all the way up to the main character’s age, and the big conclusion is simultaneous glorious and, possibly, the single shittiest thing we’ve seen in any of the three films. Join us as we bog down our eyebrows in this no-nonsense episode of Loathsome Things: a good horror movie podcast recommendation!

Join us as we embark on an ultra-cosmic journey from some unknown corner of the universe all the way to a post-psychedelic and mega-starchy San Francisco with this tremendous effort in scifi/horror movie remakesmanship! Leonard Nimoy makes one of his greatest non-Star Trek appearances, a studly young Jeff Goldblum does his best Alan Alda impression, Veronica Cartwright shows off some sick hand and vocal skills, Donald “Donny South” Sutherland brings the action and Brooke Adams gets topless instead of the credit she deserves in this sometimes brilliant, sometimes confusing film, which is a strong contender for greatest remake of all time, especially within the horror genre. So, put your favorite face skin on some dog you love and plug your ears into the wild ride that is Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast for people that don’t like horror movie podcasts, thus our broad appeal!

Cease your philandering ways and listen up, kiddo, for this April we’re putting together a 1-2-3-punch comparison of bodily snatchery starting with the original maybe-Red Scare classic about creepy white people being replaced with even creepier white people in well-to-do 1950s America. Sure, that was one sentence! From the director that brought you Flaming Star and Two Mules for Sister Sara comes this dazzling classic starring the guy Piranha and none other than Dagmar Wynter and her flagrantly stuffed brazier. Hey, wait a minute, you’re not our listeners! Oh well, it would seem you’ve been replaced a la Crapgras Delusion, so you’ve no reason not to tune in to this episode of Loathsome Things: the most patriotic podcast in these United States!

Bow down and rejoice for the bountiful practical effects goodness this movie granteth! Through the files of movie production hell, The Void emerged renewed and pure for our plentiful enjoyment…eth… It’s good enough to get Josh to rethink how he grades movies for this podcast.

Extreme Animal Cruelty Content Warning: this movie contains one of the single most despicable scenes of actual violence against animals either of us have likely ever seen in cinema. Kangaroos are shown being shot, struggling to escape, and slowly, painfully dying. There is a shot of a pile of severed kangaroo upper torsos that the camera lingers on. Do not watch this movie if that is the kind of thing that will upset. It upset John and it upset Josh. It’s a really good movie in all respects, other than the depiction of inexcusable animal cruelty. Yes, we know the arguments about why it was a good thing, or whatever.   When not discussing that element, we have a good ol’ time talking about this lost film, which some might call the greatest Ozploitation movie of all time. John and Josh disagree about whether or not this qualifies as a “horror movie,” which leads to one of (but not THE) our most disparate rating results in our show’s history. I know you concerns yourselves with that sort of thing, and even read this at all.

We left all the static and background noises in this episode as an artistic attempt to recreate the movie-going experience of this nightmarish-ish experimental film from jolly ol’ Canada. We both liked it, we both hated it. It’s art, folks! For this one, you don’t necessarily need to watch it first. We spoil the whole thing, but it’s impossible to spoil the experience of watching this movie, which follows two young people around a spooky house during a forever night full of dreamy transitions, cartoons from the yore of your mind, and a strikingly confusing concept of what the camera is supposed to be. It’s Skinamarink on the best podcast about horror movies for horror movie fans that aren’t afraid to open up and make themselves vulnerable to hypnotic suggestion. You are getting sleepy. You are getting sleepy. You want to send all your friends and relatives a link to this show and encourage them to listen to every episode!   Kyle Edward Ball’s Nightmare 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGesb5A1rAI Kyle Edward Ball’s Heck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVQzEzW4faA   If you would like to recommend a movie, tell Josh that that was an adverb, or ask us horror movie-related questions, you can do so by reaching out to us on Twitter: @LoathsomePod Instagram: @LoathsomePod Facebook: @LoathsomePodcast Email: LoathsomeThings@gmail.com The Loathsome Things Official Top 10 Greatest Horror Movies of All Time List (of those we've reviewed for an episode of Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast) (1) Andrzej Żuławski's Possession (1981) (2) Brian De Palma’s Carrie (1976) (3) Rose Glass’ Saint Maud (2019) (4) Bob Clark’s Black Christmas (1974) (5) George A Romero’s Night of the Living Dead (1968) (6) Alex Garland’s Men (2022) (7) Miike Takashi’s Audition (1999) (8) Ti West’s X (2022) (9) Bob Clark’s Deathdream (1974) (10) David Prior’s The Empty Man (2020)   Honorable Mentions: Beyond the Door III (1989) – Not a great horror movie, but so much fun to watch!

Content Warning: this movie depicts domestic violence, child endangerment and psycho-sexual assault Sexy tentacle aliens will fill up your holes all night long in this movie full of chunky blood, broken eggs, spilled milk, oozing jism, allusions to world politics and some of the most gut-dumping relationship trauma you’ll ever see in a horror movie. Isabelle Adjani gives the performance of a lifetime, and you get to see a young and spermy Sam Neill. Andrzej Żuławski was in artistic exile from his home country of Poland while filming this epic post-Eraserhead, pre-Mother! body-horror masterpiece. Watch the movie before listening. It’s a shame more people haven’t seen this film and just another drop in the bucket of evidence for 1981 being the great year in horror movie history.

Two chummy science buddies unlock the secrets of pseudobiology while strutting from stage left to stage right in the Frankenstein barony’s most maze-like castle and daring to ask the question “what if instead of lightning we, I don’t know, just kind of dunked stuff in big aquarium full of science tea?” This film put Hammer on the map as the Wizard of Oz of color-gory horror movies and served as the foundation of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing’s friendship and collaborative success in billions of horror movies to come.

Supernatural experimental underwater Nazi uber-soldiers (band name, called it!) rise from the waves just as Gilligan, The Skipper, and the alcoholic, porn-plastering 3rd member of the crew, Dobbs, are bringing their vacationing cargo around for a lovely time on a desert island inhabited only by Herr Professor Peter Cushing.

This time vosotros reviewed a low-budget euro-70s movie about knights templar-themed zombies that rise from the dead to vampire up slutty blood and ride around town on mysteriously-sourced horses. It’s wacky. It’s zany. It likes to give the audience a reason to not be sad when a character dies. Perhaps they’re creepy. Perhaps they experimented with homosexuality in their youth. Perhaps they’re some kind of criminal. Content Warning: we discuss this movie’s casual depiction of sexual assault and rape. The movie doesn’t seem to think it’s that big of a deal, but it's honestly pretty upsetting. If you don’t want to see that or a child crying while being drenched in their mother’s lifeblood, watch the censored American cut.

After spending a year and a half NOT reviewing a Rob Zombie joint, we decided it was high time to review the robbest of all zombies, the one-thousandest of houses, the 90-minute music video interlude itself: House of 1000 Corpses. It was a delight to watch and a delight to discuss. Did we do a good job discussing it? You’s to say! We referenced a lot of things in this episode, so here’s a list of things to watch, listen to, or read about that’re all probably better than listening to this newest episode of Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast!

Ti West absolutely plows it with this Chain Saw-esque Debbie Decimates Dallas spectacle. It’s sexy, it’s disturbing, it’s confusing, it’s thought-provoking, it’s gory, it’s schlocky, it’s… it’s just great, y’all! Every death scene is a micro-masterpiece in its own right. At first you think this is all style, no substance, and then it turns on you. Watch the movie, then listen to us giggle and sigh while never once mentioning Mia Goth’s boobs.

Chloe Grace Moretz & Co did a great job of re-making Carrie in the least-interesting way possible: a technically proficient and almost flavorless retelling that lands squarely in the middle of the original and the made-for-TV movie on every front. It’s almost enough to make one sit back and ask “what do horror movie fans actually want in a reboot?” For these and other reasons, John and Josh do a speedy summary so they could get to the part they were most excited about: talking about all the other great horror movies and TV shows they’ve been watching in October!

35 years after the original, we finally get our first Hellraiser reboot! And it’s… well, you’ll have to listen to find out what we think about it. Set in beautiful Belgrade, Massachusetts, this visually striking reimagining of the Clive Barker original focuses on addiction, betrayal, and strips of delicious human bacon. The Pascal Laugier movie we tried to remember was Incident in a Ghostland (2018), the movie that caused permanent scarring to a young actor’s face because of some combination of greed and incompetence, so fuck that movie! The other things we couldn't remember the names of? Who knows! If you think “Enough is a myth” when it comes to Loathsome Things episodes, then this one’s for you!

“Angela Bettis! Angela Bettis! Angela Bettis!” said David Carson into the camera, and poof! She was there to provide one of the few redeeming qualities in this made-for-TV wad. Directed by the guy that directed Captain Kirk’s death and co-starring Dualla from Battlestar Galactica, this movie features Windows 98 screensaver-grade CGI a flat, lifeless retelling of the story from the same era at the mini-series version of The Shining.

WOW! Sissy Spacek absolutely slayed in this nutty jamboree of a high school prom horror that Piper Laurie, Nancy Allen and John Travolta all thought was a fun, over-the-top comedy when they were filming it. Is it still OK for say “slay, queen” now that someone else’s queen is dead? I’m gonna slay “Yes!” Also in this movie is William Katt’s amazing hair, now contextually placed as the forebear of Kevin Van Hentenryck’s Basket Case hair. In my untethered-to-reality mind, William Katt’s Tommy secretly survived, changed his name to Roger, and became a famous horror novelist with completely delusional memories of having been in “the shit” in Vietnam. V-necks. There, I said it. What am I saying? Who can say! You can’t write all good when you’re running on Monster and Nyquil (yes, with a Jolly Rancher), so shut up and listen to our first of three episodes reviewing motion picture adaptations of Stephen King’s first novel, Carrie.
