Mixed Review

Okay, Halloween-heads and Michael Myers ... enjoyers! Three years after our autopsy of the Halloween series, we're back with the first of two addendums: Halloween Kills.

On this day, we celebrate Tom Hanks by viewing His scripture, Turner & Hooch, a movie in which He befriends an ugly dog and shoots people in a warehouse. Amen.

With our take on Gary J. Tunnicliffe's Hellraiser: Judgement, we say goodbye to a franchise that spanned space, time, heaven, hell, and the supermarket dollar DVD bin.

Six years after the release of Hellraiser: Hellworld, Dimension's Bob Weinstein discovered that the studio was about to lose the rights to the property. In three weeks, a skeleton crew of nobodies put together Hellraiser: Revelations, an ashcan copy for the ages.

In Hellraiser: Bloodline, Pinhead goes to space. In Hellraiser: Hellworld, Pinhead goes to ... cyberspace. Katheryn Winnick, Henry Cavill, and Lance Henriksen star in what is best described as "the eighth Hellraiser movie."

The Hellraiser series continues with a trip to Romania, where scream queen Kari Wuhrer opens the puzzle box, reducing her existence to a series of dream sequences and hallucinations ... and it spells doom for her character, too!

We return from sabbatical to discuss the sixth Pinhead movie and compare refrigerator prices.

The Hellraiser series goes straight to home video with this Scott Derrickson thriller hastily rewritten as a Cenobite vehicle. Pinhead is back, and so are his inane speeches, in this twisting turning fever dream of garbage. Burn on!

We've been to hell and back. Now, we journey onwards to .. SPACE! And 18th century Paris. And also 1996? Adam Scott stars, Alan Smithee directs, and we wonder why any of it happened in the first place.

Set in New York City and filmed almost entirely in Greensboro, North Carolina, this second sequel earns its place in the history books for introducing audiences to "CD Cenobite" and "Camerahead Cenobite." We're still waiting for the Happy Meal cross-promotion.

The Hellraiser series continues with more puzzle boxes, new and terrifying Cenobites, and a whole slew of intricate matte paintings as we join Pinhead, Chatterer and .. Female Cenobite? .. in 1987's Hellbound: Hellraiser II.

You summoned us. We came. And in the first of a series of ten Pinheadzapoppin' episodes, we discuss Clive Barker's original 1987 horror masterpiece, Hellraiser.

Social distancing means we're all spending more time at home, so it's a perfect time to watch a few movies about domesticity interrupted. In Hider in the House (1989), Gary Busey takes up residence in Mimi Rogers' attic and in The Vagrant (1992), Bill Paxton finds his new home to be insufficient protection against an evil drifter.

In times like these, it's good to remember the important things: Family. Friends. Mediocre Harrison Ford movies released in the late 20th century. This time around, we cover Six Days Seven Nights, co-starring Anne Heche, and What Lies Beneath, co-starring Michelle Pfeiffer.

In which we release our Christmas episode after the holiday is over but BEFORE the new year, so we’re technically not completely out of bounds. Anyway, Santa with Muscles is a bad movie starring Hulk Hogan and we watched it.

This Hanksgiving, we badmouth Joe Dante's cult favorite The 'Burbs and post the discussion online. I'm sure there's an audience for this!

Nightgowns, pillow fights, and power drills straight to the sternum! This is Halloween night, and we're huddled around the dinner table, flashlights lit underneath our chins, to extol the praises of the only '80s slasher franchise produced and directed by women: Slumber Party Massacre.

So it's come to this. Favreau vs. Black. Norrington vs. Mangold. Raimi vs. Watts. Titans clash. Franchises fall. Only one can stand above the rest. Will The Avengers win in a landslide? Can anything else possibly be as awesome as Blade? Wait, Iron Man 2 beat Black Panther? With only two no. 1 seeds remaining, the final battle has finally arrived.

The pain train goes from 0 to 60 when we eliminate some of the MCU's best movies in this chaotic round of 32. Will the Guardians move on? Will Blade continue to steamroll everything in its path? Can people shut up about Captain America: The Winter Soldier already? Will we ever watch a Marvel movie again?

As we continue our quest to crown the greatest Marvel movie of all time, we bully Blade: Trinity, demolish Daredevil, harass Howard the Duck, eviscerate Venom, and massacre the only two superhero movies Marc Webb will ever be allowed to make. Plus, we hand out a very special no-prize to the worst performance we witnessed along the way.
