Brain Rot - An 80s Horror Podcast

Welcome to Brain Rot The podcast that takes a deep dive into the BEST WORST HORROR movies of the 80s & 90s. Those films that are 'so bad, they're good'.

With guests ranging from horror know-it-alls to horror not-at-alls, these B-Movie bangers get dissected and immortalised in all their gory glory. So open THE GATE, grab some POPCORN, hold on to your GHOULIES and TROLL these films with us. See what I did there? That's THE STUFF we like. Toodles!

What's up, Rotters!

We're back....but not for long.

If you haven't heard already, Brain Rot only has three episodes remaining until we pull down the shutters on our VHS store for good. But boy, do we have some corkers to go out with.

Today, long time Brain Rot contributor Matt Draper drops by for our final main feed outing together to discuss SILENT MADNESS from 1984

This week, we're coming to you with a bonus episode from the Patreon vault.

Earlier this year, Mike Muncer joined me to discuss the wonderfully sleazy, late 80s slasher/thriller OUT OF THE DARK and as a little early Xmas treat, I'm giving you a prezzie in the form of one of my favourite episodes in recent history.

This week, I'm joined by two of my favourite guests Joe La Scola and Sean O'Rourke aka Movie Dumpster to discuss the TROMA trashterpice GIRLS SCHOOL SCREAMERS (1986)

Although not originally a TROMA produced movie, once Lloyd and the gang got their hands on it, they made sure to add some unmistakable TROMA touches such as worms, meat hooks and swamp creatures. Do they belong in this movie? Absolutely not. Do they...

Today, Vicious Varsity continues after our two week hiatus to discuss the 1988 H.P. Lovecraft adaptation THE UNNAMABLE

Whilst the VHS cover art for this movie is emblazoned on my mind, I'd never actually plucked up the courage to rent it and so I decided... it's time!

I'm joined by the brilliant Justin and B-Ratty of Epic Film Guys! Having previously appeared on the show to discuss movie...

This week, Zoran Gvojic (Dead Meat) returns to the Rot to discuss Hell High aka Raging Fury from 1989. 

A mix of revenge slasher and prank gone wrong chiller, Hell High plays with the tropes whilst managing to keep you guessing.

Well...it kept ME guessing... Zoran saw it all coming. Obvs.

Happy Halloween, Rotters!

For this year's Halloween special, I'm joined by my good friend and Brain Rot regular JOSHUA TONKS to discuss the almost infamous 'non-Myers' Halloween movie - Halloween III: Season of the Witch from 1982

We discuss the movie's production history, the franchise as a whole and even give our personal rankings for the entire movie series.

This week, listener favourite Cody Jamison Strand returns to discuss the TROMA Trashterpiece Class of Nuke 'Em High from 1986

This movie is a firm favourite within B-Movie fandoms and Vicious Varsity would not be complete wihtout its inclusion. From toxic waste monsters to problematic makeup choices, it's time to enroll in the ultimate school of slime ☢️

This week, we're taking a look at the criminally obscure THE MAJORETTES from 1986 (or 1987 depending on where you look)

To discuss this bonkers movie, I'm joined by the brilliant author, critic, screenwriter and podcaster BJ COLANGELO

If you're not already following her podcast THIS ENDS AT PROM whcih she co-hosts with her wife Harmony... rectify that immediately

This week, I'm joined by my Mates of Hell buddies Alex Ayling & Brad Hanson to discuss the 1986 slasher SORORITY HOUSE MASSACRE

The three of us have covered so many Fulci movies over on Patreon that sometimes it's nice to let them out of their cages for a palete cleanser. Expect microphone-distorting laughter, close to the bone one-liners and extreme diversions.

For episode 3 of Vicious Varsity I'm joined by William Hanson - the UK's leading etiquette coach, best selling author and co-host of the enormously popular podcast "Help I Sexted My Boss"

We discuss the 1989 Brad Pitt lead slasher - Cutting Class. With its clumsy exposition and noble attemps at satire, this late 80s Trashterpiece had Brain Rot written all over it.

Toodles!

For the second episode of Vicious Varsity, I'm joined by Becky Darke and Mike Muncer aka the Dream Warriors to discuss the truly unhinged and joyous KILLER PARTY (1986)

This Canadian sorority slasher has hidden low on the radar for decades but we decided it's time for it to show itself! With its indecipherable timeline and hilariously ambiguous killer identity, it deserves a place on the Brain Rot shelf.
