On this episode of the Really Awful Movies Podcast, we’re back in animal attack / natural horror territory. And why not? It’s our favorite place to be. There is a wealth of animals-ran-amok movies, and practically every species in the animal kingdom is represented.

Listeners can go WAY back in our catalog to check out Night of the Lepus, for example, a little movie that could about killer rabbits.

This one, however, is about a cat. And not just any cat, but a genetically manipulated lab, cat within a cat.

You’re invited to check out this podcast about Uninvited, which has the added bonus of having two of our favorite character actors acting the crap out of their roles: Clu Gulager and George Kennedy.

Welcome, New Year!

Happy 2020 everyone.

We are back with a new episode of the Really Awful Movies Podcast, focusing on the Ari Aster effort, Midsommar.

It’s an off kilter member of the folk horror subgenre (define that one how you wish, we get into that here), it’s a pretty engaging tale of anthropologists heading to Scandinavia to study a strange subculture.

On this episode, we talk about Hereditary, try and get a handle on how you define folk horror, we talk The Witch, Bone Tomahawk, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Bones, The Good Place (!) and more.

Tune in and tell all your friends!

On this episode of the Really Awful Movies Podcast, 2007’s Murder Party.

A lonely traffic cop is strolling home to his crappy basement New York City apartment on Halloween, when he comes across a strange invitation lying on the ground. He picks it up, and it has a time and an address on it, and says “come alone.” (not really much of a chance there’d be a +1 for this guy, that’s for sure).

He gets home, and fashions together a costume made from duct tape and cardboard, and goes out into the town as a knight, making his way out to a Brooklyn warehouse where the murder party is being held.

Then, things go terrifyingly (and funnily) awry.

On this episode of the podcast, we dive into art for art’s sake, patronage, death in art, The Death of Marat, installation art, going out on the town solo, and a bunch of other topics. We put Murder Party in the context of other, DIY low-budget flicks set in The Big Apple.

Join us, and don’t forget to subscribe to the Really Awful Movies Podcast. We focus on horror, but tackle genre films of all stripes, and have a soft spot for action films as well.

Talk to you soon!
