Things have been a tad chaotic this summer! Here's a bonus episode Gwen and Gretchen recorded on an iPhone after seeing Megan 2.0 in the theater (while being distracted by Gretchen's new kittens, Jordy and Clovis!). It's a hoot, so if you haven't seen it, what the hell are you waiting for?!

Does the full moon approach? Do you hear something... beastly in the woods? Watch out! It's Joe Dante's werewolf masterpiece, THE HOWLING (1981)! We peel back the many layers of this fascinating slice of early 80s culture, including the tragic, the funny, and the dangerously seductive. Starring Dee Wallace, Christopher Stone, Robert Picardo, Dennis Dugan, Belinda Balaski, John Carradine, a cameo by Dick Miller, and introducing Elisabeth Brooks as the deliciously evil and seductive Marsha! (Marsha! Marsha!)

First we recap our madcap spring doing panels at Crypticon Seattle and getting ready for the 10th annual Portland Horror Film Festival! Listen to the end where we reveal what movie we're going to watch next!

A down on his luck everyman (Roddy Piper) comes to Los Angeles, CA seeking work. He gets a construction job, meets Frank Armitage (Keith David), and stumbles on a pair of sunglasses that reveal the world as it truly is. The IMDB synopsis: "They influence our decisions without us knowing it. They numb our senses without us feeling it. They control our lives without us realizing it. They live."

This is John Carpenter's adaptation of a Ray Nelson story and graphic novel, "Eight O'Clock in the morning." Though it is a send up of Reagan era economic policies, this film resonates with today's current economic and socio-political climate. Starring Roddy Piper, Meg Foster, Keith David, myriad other character actors that you'll recognize. Gwen and Gretchen dive into this thrilling sci-fi action horror classic, ponder the pulsing sync and blues soundtrack (by Carpenter and Alan Howarth), marvel at the 5 min long fight scene, and discuss a storyline that transcends the era in which it was made, but also has slightly sexist characters that could only have been made in the 80s!
