1:17:05

Well everyone, this is it, the season 3 finale! And to celebrate we watched a trulky baffling movie, our favorite kind! 1998's Urban Legend is, well, not good. But boy is it 90 minutes long!

11M ago1:22:13

1:22:13

Not all that glitters is gold, this is what the GOTHs learned discussing 1984's A Nightmare on Elm Street. This movie is a classic, but in our opinion, maybe moreso because of what it got going than this film itself necessarily. The effects and performances are grade A but...well, we'll talk about it. We'll cover everything you need to know and als…

12M ago1:36:23

1:36:23

Our resident white person Nick Jones could not join us, so me and Zannie took the opportunity to watch the incredible cult hit Green Room without him. Why? Because the bad guys are Nazis, and the crux of the podcast is Nick defends the white characters and ya know what we just didn't want to put him in that position this week lmao this episode is i…

1y ago1:17:02

1:17:02

The GOTHs return to tackle 2023's very whacky The Pope's Exorcist. This title barely makes sense but trust me once you you'll understand... the Vatican got shooters.

1:09:22

The GOTH boys are split over 2022's sleeper hit BARBARIAN, but in the end we come together in harmony because life's too short to start a podcast with your gd boys and tell them they're wrong for not liking a movie for 2 hours...By Ash Diggs

1:17:06

This episode was recorded in the summer of 2020 while we were still figuring out what the heck we were doing with this podcast. The audio is not up to our usual standards, but we love the ep and wanted to share a lil behind the curtains look at our beginnings, part of the classic horror origin story if you will.

2y ago1:37:31

1:37:31

This week the GOTH boys take on the original sequel the Halloween. Is this movie good? Not really. Is it fun? I mean kind of? Does it make sense? I mean, does life make sense? Join us on our deep dive of the continued suburban nightmare plaguing the quaint town of Haddonfield as we dare to ask the question, is White Privilege what keeps Michael Mye…

1:50:51

Long episode this week because we had a lot to say!!! And to make up for no movies the last three weeks! We're talking The Descent - Nick and Zannie hated it not because it was bad but because it terrified them. I don't think they read the show notes so I can say whatever I wasnt in here about those lil scaredy cats. Listen to them tremble! Enjoy!…

A Fireside Chat with Ash and Zannie 38:08

Nick is out of office this week so rather than skipping an episode I decide it was time our listeners got a deeper peek into the mind of fan favorite GOTH Zannie Black. We have a nice little chat about movies, lucid dreaming, and deep fears. Enjoy!By Ash Diggs

GOTH is back with a discussion on 2022's Fresh starring Daisy Edgar-Jones and Sebastian Stan. If you're listening for a deep nuanced take on the state of dating in the modern world, you'll get that kind of. But if you're here for Zannie's Seinfeld impression... then you better buckle up and listen up buccaroo.…

2+ y ago59:14

59:14

Let us bring you back to the year 2007, truly a simpler time. The GOTH Boys walk through one of the biggest hits of the year, the truly uninspired Paranormal Activity. I'll be transparent, this is Ash writing the blurb. Is it fair to call the movie uninspired? Definitely not. Objectively they did a great job. But there's a little extra haterade bec…

3y ago1:39:27

1:39:27

This week the GOTH Boys take on A Haunting in Connecticut- a horror movie where the family literally has two homes and they choose to stay in the haunted one, possibly because the alcoholic patriarch lives in the non-haunted house...and aren't the real demons our own? No. It's the real actual evil demons. Every time.…

1:46:31

Happy October! The GOTH Crew is back to review the seminal cult classic Killer Klowns from Outer Space.

1:05:43

1977's Suspiria is a horror classic. A dreamlike nightmare where we the viewer follow our protagonist as she goes to Germany to study at a prestigious ballet school. Unfortunately, the only partner these ballerinas have is...the Devil! That was pretty good right? I felt good about it. End of episode notes- this is a great episode, crack a potion, l…

We're back! After a nice little break the gang gets together to talk about a movie set in Japan with an almost exclusively white cast, 2004's The Grudge! A remake of the Japanese film Ju-On, The Grudge gets a lot right and a lot wrong, we'll talk about it in detail- but one thing that does not need further explanation: Kayako was on that aaaassssss…

1:33:44

After a little time off we are BACK in a big big way- we're tackling 2009's eclectic reboot of Friday the 13th. This franchise introduced the world to undead slasher Jason Vorhees, and this reboot asks the question "how would this movie change if Jason was 6'9 with a 48" vertical and 3.8 40 yard dash?" Was this a good movie? No. But it was absolute…

Now that October is behind us, we return this week to get on track with our bi-monthly release schedule! We're talking Clive Barker's 1987 showstopper, Hellraiser.

One last Halloween treat, just for you! We close out spooky season with a discussion on 2009's The Collector. Man, what were they trying to do here? Is it a heist movie? A horror movie?

The Hills Have Eyes (1977) - Farm to Table Baby 1:34:25

4y ago1:34:25

1:34:25

This week we discuss Wes Craven's 1977 thriller The Hills Have Eyes. Is this even a horror movie? We're not sure. This entire movie could've been avoided the family had just stayed on the main road. Nick had no issue with them going exploring, even though that got half the family killed by mutants? Cannibals? Maybe they were just people, and we wer…
