Episodes
It's 1982, what do you want, a medal? Get out of here! It's the forgotten classic of the Halloween franchise, unless you didn't forget about it! You nerd!
Take some inspiration from H.P. Lovecraft's “The Dreams in the Witch House,” add a a pinch of The Raid, a huge bag of pills stolen from mobsters, make it about women, and you've got yourself a soup going! This is a horror movie hidden gem, and if you don't like it, you're a poo-poo-head! It's Loathsome Things: A Podcast that isn't afraid to call people a poo-poo-head for not sharing our opinions of horror movies.
3 innocent girls...
You've got Playboy Playmate nudity, tongue-thru-cheek cultural criticism, proto-Pizzagate conspiracy, a lot of uncomfortably sensual touching, and someone's Freudians poppin' out of something. This time, we finally reviewed the body horror masterpiece: Society!
One step forward, two steps back for humanity, here we go! It's Lucky McKee's greatest sequel, full of ooey, gooey masculinity troubles, lady troubles, and socket troubles. Everything's problematic on this episode of Loathsome Things: the best podcast to listen to if you're sad.
Two slim, lithe, youthful, excitable, exuberant, perky, naked, lesbian, erotic, sexy, hot, teen, shrill, possessed nuns have to figure out what kind of a movie they're supposed to be in between bouts of directionless shrieking, tit-play, and unleashing the full bush. It's one of the originals of nunsploitation, it's very nearly unbearable to watch, and John and Josh both loved it, as did Guillermo del Toro, so we made fun of him fo...
What does Planet of the Apes and a Van Helsing analog traveling to Transylvania have in common with titanium orgy werewolves and bad mod music? Apparently, it's Sybil Danning getting topless only once, and yet also somehow 18 times. That doesn't make sense, and yet you'll understand exactly what that means when you tune in to this episode of Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast that continues to compare nipples to pizza topping...
The epitome of 21st century takes on 20th century _ from space movies, this James Gunn classic references Henelotter, Tremors, The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China, The Toxic Avenger, Goosebumps, Alien, Predator, Society, Shivers, and possibly even Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The make-up and practical effects pair perfectly with 2006's digital effects and the over-the-ham acting of Nathan Fillion, Elizabeth Banks, Michael Ro...
One of the most entertaining horror movies seen by this podcast. OMG.
At the intersection of feminism and cryptozoology, you'll find many a shattered and sympathetic character, along with more than your typical number of meta-physical portals to other realities and men trying to keep you from realizing your inner power. There's also an abundance of white, murky slime and confusingly sensual canals. Learn the deepest secrets of womanhood while listening to two overweight bearded men sigh and wheeze on...
It's gory, it's slimy, it's nasty, it's transgressive, it's not E.T., not Alien, not The Brood, but also not a lot of movies that came after it. What is it? It's Xtro and the latest episode of Loathsome Things: The Worst Podcast about Horror Movies!
For our next creative writing exercise, we're going to explore a social occasion you're familiar with. Think of a time you spent with other people where you made yourself or were made emotionally vulnerable, then launch away from the factuality of that occasion, and instead pilot it towards the style of storytelling you've been most interested in lately and stretch the truth you remember with the truth you're trying to achieve. It'...
This time-a-rooski, we reviewed the first film to be shot in Raymond Spottiswoode's "Depth Dimension" 3-D. It's a nutty little Canadian flick about that new-fangled "psychiatry" my loved ones won't stop going on about, and boy does this movie display a firm grasp over what that is! What we have here is a visual effects buffet sandwiched between long bouts of really crap 1961 people having terrible movie scenes together. This one is...
We kept up our annual tradition of visiting a Frankenlotter... Frank Hookenl... Frank Henenlotter folm, film. A Frank Henenlotter film. This time, it's Frankenhanker... Frankenhooker. Dear God, what's wreng woth me on the newest episode of Loathsome Things: A Great Horror Movie Podcast to Listen To While You Sleep
How much cinematic care and attention can be placed on boobs? Find our as we explore the deep, eldritch mysteries of two different sets of natal taters from a variety of angles, temperatures, environs, and degrees of gravitational drag in this fishy and godless episode of Loathsome Things: a Cthulhu Ftagn Movie Podcast!
Greatest secret super-villain origin story film of all time? Yeah, I think so. Join us for a movie you think is going to be pompous, but then is low-key shlocky mad scientist music saw. So... you're welcome for another instant-classic episode of Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast for sad white men to find companionship and enlargening gummies for 50% off when you use coupone code: LOATHSOMETHINGS on check-out!
Seth Green and Alfonso Ribeiro co-star in this plasma-inhaling infestation of a boy scout summer flashback for Josh! That's right, it's Ticks and it's Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast edited by an guy who can't setup his microphone with even a modicum of competency! Also, John is here and he sounds great the whole time. Kisses.
It's a new episode of Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast not fit for human consumption, bringing you a filthy, degenerate pile of frothy, unhygienic movie slime that makes us giggle while we squirm. Splatter all ye who enter Flatbush to watch Street Trash!
A rare entry to our dislustrious "DO NOT WATCH" list, this penultimate Hammer film has a cool demon puppet, great Christopher Lee face stuff, a top-notch crucifix, and some stuff I won't type because that's not the type of searches we want to be a result for. It's bad. Do yourself a favor by just listening to us and not watching the movie!
You can't get much more Loathsome than The Thing, itself. You've got action, comedy, explosions, the greatest practical monster effects showcase, and the very most good boy in movie history. Go watch the movie again, it's totally worth it!
Join us for our grand 100th episode, wherein we cover the folk horror of all folk horrors, The Wicker Man!!
