Happy Tuesday Christmas fanatics!

Apologies again that this episode is dropping a day late, but as you know – life gets in the way at times! Which is also the reason why Thom is absent from this episode and we had to reshuffle our schedule a bit! So while we were originally planning our return to Halloweentown this week, instead, Julia and Anthony continue the show’s sojourn through Spooky Season by traveling to Elm Street and Camp Crystal Lake to cover the 2003 Slash of the Titans, “Freddy vs. Jason“!

Not only has Julia never seen this movie before, but she’s never seen any movie featuring Freddy Krueger or Jason Voorhees before! Which, of course, makes her the perfect elf to host tonight’s show! What does she think of it? Well, you can probably guess – but that doesn’t make this episode any less entertaining! Especially since she finds herself at odds with Anthony who unabashedly loves this film!

Listen as your two hosts walk you through the plot beat-by-nonsensical-beat, critique the horrific acting, and fill in key pieces of context and history from the two iconic slashers individual franchises as needed! Also discussed: Mike Flanagan’s various horror shows; Amazon Prime’s new film, “Totally Killer“; the teased “Seinfeld” revival; the Halloween plans of Julia’s children; and the end of Anthony’s hunt for Hallmark’s popular Betty White/Rose Nylund “The Golden Girls” ornament!

This is one fun episode you want to be sure not to miss! (As is the bonus episode we dropped in your feeds this past Sunday, so make sure you give that one a download and listen as well!) So settle back with your Pumpkin Spiced Lattes, put your feet up, and enjoy! And, as always, thanks for your love and support y’all!  ❤️ 🍂 🎃👻🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🔔🚂 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️

Happy Sunday, Christmas fanatics!

To celebrate the fact that as of today we’re officially halfway through October, we thought we’d drop this bonus Spooky Season episode in your main feeds as a little surprise for you!

You’ve heard us refer to it a few times already in other episode, but it’s finally here: The 2023 “Tis the Podcast” Ultimate Horror Movie Bracket!

In this special episode, Anthony is joined by a whole slew of special guests and self-labeled horror aficionados to determine the best horror movie ever, March Madness style! The guests include:

• Ron Hogan and Lindsey Grelis of “Film Strip Podcast“
• Kendal Farrae of “Two Girls One Crypt”
• Matt Spaulding of “North Pole Radio“

Listen as they debate and argue in real time to determine which horror movies advance through this NCAA-esque scary movie bracket as iconic films are pitted against one another in four different “divisions” for a chance to be named the best horror movie!

• Are Christmas-themed scares frightening enough to go far?
• Will Freddy or Jason best the other?
• Does Ghostface stand a chance against Michael Myers?
• Can The Warrens successfully exorcise Pazuzu?
• Can “Jaws” take a bite out of “Alien“?
• Is a psychopathic adult posing as a child scarier than a child who is literally the Antichrist?
• Will Art, Pennywise, or “The Klowns” reign supreme as the scariest movie clown(s) and can any of them win it all?
• Are Hitchcock or the Universal Monsters timeless enough to overcome more modern horrors?
• Can Jigsaw outmaneuver participants of the Purge?
• Despite its undeniable style, does A24 offer enough substantive scares in its movies to go the distance?

All of these questions and much, much more are answered in this extraordinarily fun episode full of quotes, impressions, trivia, nostalgia, and laughs. This is one you definitely do not want to miss – even if it’ll take you a few sittings to finish it given its length. (That’s What She Said.) But that’s what happens when you get a bunch of scary movie buffs onto a recording together – there’s a lot of passionate gushing and vigorous debate going on here in an episode that took three recordings and a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to finish, which is why we’ve decided to drop this in your main feed instead of on Patreon.

So settle in with your Pumpkin Spice Lattes, relax, and enjoy! And make sure to let us known on social media what your hosts got right, what they got wrong, and which horror movie you think should have come out on top!

As always, thanks for your love and support, y’all! ❤️ 🍂 🎃👻🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🔔🚂 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️
