Really Awful Movies: Ep 44 – Poultrygeist

All hail Lloyd Kaufman. We love TROMA films and Poultrygeist is an absolute masterpiece.

On this week’s podcast, we breakdown Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead.

We feel like chowing down on some American Bunker Chicken products! This is a taboo-shattering, highly offensive (to some) flick. Take our word for it and take a listen. It’s really impossible to explain.

Really Awful Movies: Ep 38 – Night of the Lepus

A killer rabbit movie?

Yes please.

We love rabbits, especially grilled. And we give this one a good grilling.

Night of the Lepus features some pretty high wattage star power, including old timey Western star Rory Calhoun, Deforrest Kelley (Star Trek) and Janet Leigh (Psycho).

An experiment goes awry, causing oversized bunnies to run amok somewhere in Arizona. Or was it New Mexico? Who cares!

How much should we mess with nature? Hubris of man, the laws of nature…all these and terrible jokes featured on this edition of the podcast.

Really Awful Movies: Ep 18b – Animal attack movies with author / broadcaster Mike Mayo

Mike Mayo joins us on the program. He is one-half of Max and Mike On the Movies and the author of American Murder: Criminals, Crime and the Media, VideoHound’s Video Premieres and Really Awful Movies’ favorite reference, The Horror Show Guide: The Ultimate Frightfest of Movies.

Whether it’s Jaws, Sharknado or Piranha, everyone loves a good animals run amok movie.

We talk about how we got into horror, why people are drawn to the genre and naturally (no pun intended) eco horror.

The RAM guys and Mike explore The Swarm, Piranha, The Nest, Jaws, Alligator, Rogue, Sharknado, Lake Placid and the truly awful killer bunny movie, Night of the Lepus.

We discuss why creature features are made and their appeal. And we also look at what scares us personally, the work of David Cronenberg, horror generally and where the genre is heading.
