This week on the podcast, we venture into the 2000s for a film which has no right to be as good as it is, The Ruins.

With a tepid description on Netflix, this is a film that resembles a typical stalk-and-slash tourism-related horror with central casting interchangeable college kids.

But DO NOT sleep on this one.

Tune into the show for a wide ranging discussion of tourism-related horror, the Italian cannibal genre, and tone setting in modern horror.

This week on the podcast, add another critter to the list of creature features/nature run amok flicks. If you thought rabbits in Night of the Lepus was pushing the envelope, well…here…we’ve got beavers.

Zombeavers is from the producers of American Pie, so there are of course lots of the expected jokes.

This one debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival of all places, and is a bit smarter than you’d think (but not by much).

This week on the podcast, some sword and sandal fun and games courtesy of Deathstalker.

It combines the tournament conceit of something like Enter the Dragon, with the standard jerkin / fur / broadsword / wrist band aesthetic of Conan the Barbarian.

Apparently, this one is getting a remake too!

Anyway, this joint Argentinian American production is pretty wild and pretty exploitative.
