The podcast gets slightly elevated as we bring on two guests, Jeffery Owens and Krysta Curry, to discuss Lars Von Trier's controversial movie "Antichrist". We cap off our "self-destruction" block of movies with this one, or we smash it in the dick with a log of wood, depending how you look at it. This movie is notable for being one open to wide and various interpretations, so we really dig into the soil of the dark forest this movie resides within to determine what exactly Von Trier is trying...

For part 3 of our "self-destruction" block of movies we are hitting the great American highway of yore as we talk about 1971's cult hot rod movie "Vanishing Point". We join Kowlaski on this disastrous mission to get a white Dodge Challenger from Colorado to California, poppin' bennies, out smartin' smokies, and meetin' nudie biker cuties along the way. But Kowalski isn't just trying to outrun the law; he's trying to outrun his dark past. Our featured band for this episode is French death...

Keeping within our theme of movies dealing with "self-destruction", we revisit the works of one of New York City's finest auteur's, Mr. Abel Ferrara. This time we are discussing 1992's "Bad Lieutenant" a film we collectively regard as a true classic in American cinema. Harvey Keitel stars as the titular bad lieutenant, or L.T., giving a lifetime performance.  We have a duo of featured bands on this episode: Indianapolis' World Eater with the track "Burning Season" and Seattle's Streetwalker...

On this episode of Midnight Flix, we are introducing a new thematic series of movies, starting with 1992's morbidly comedic mockumentary, "Man Bites Dog" directed by Remy Belvaux. The theme: self-implosion, or the consequences of hubris, if you will. We tag along with Ben and the gang and witness their wanton murder and mayhem as objective observers...or are we?  Our featured band for this episode is Seattle's own d-beat maniacs, Nightfeeder with the track "Cut All Of Your Face Off". Drop us...

On this episode, we return to author Richard Matheson's work for the source material of our cinematic discussion. This time it's 1964's proto-modern zombie flick "The Last Man On Earth",  starring classic American horror's most erudite and esteemed god-father, Vincent Price as protagonist Dr. Robert Morgan.  Hop in the hearse and take a spin down to the everlasting burning pile of the vampiric-zombie-undead hordes, won't you?  And don't forget to pick up some garlic at the local grocery along...

We are talking about Steven Spielberg’s directorial debut in 1971’s originally made for T.V. movie “Duel”.

On this episode we are bringing you one more gruesome 2-some episode, and this time it’s in a BASKET.

Basket Case 2 introduces a whole menagerie of new oddballs, mutants and weirdos to accompany our reprised anti-heroes. It’s a real Nightbreed for nitwits here, folks. And we brought our friend Nathan Herbert from the...

Continuing with the theme of part deux sequels, we brought our good friend Orion Oblivion from D.C. doomsters Ilsa back on for more sweet, sweeeet suffering. That's right, we opened the puzzle box and let those kooky Cenobite's loose again to discuss the 1988 follow up to Clive Barker's groundbreaking Hellraiser, aka "Hellbound".  Don't miss out on this one, or your suffering will...

On this episode we brought our good friend Orion Oblivion back on the show to discuss Lamberto Bava's follow up to the sensational Demons. The demonic hordes are back, and this time its PRIME TIME! After laying waste to a theater and their inhabitants, our blue, glazed, vein-y villains have traversed inter-dimensionally through the home television of a bratty teen, infecting her and successive denizens of a high rise...

Welcome back to our second episode for Flixtober 2023. We are continuing on with our "Terrible Twos" theme discussing the second installment in notable horror movie franchises.

So heat up some chili with the hard peppercorn, throw The Cramps on the record player, and hand grandpa the hammer cause its about to get madcap and...

It's that special time of year again: you guessed it! Our annual Flixtober series is now in full swing. This year, we are doing a rundown of some of our favorite sequels, but not just any sequels. This series is loosely titled "The Terrible Twos" as we are focusing specifically on the second installment in notable franchises. We are kicking things off with a movie we have been meaning to talk about on the pod for quite some time: 1983's follow up to the legendary Hitchcock grandad slasher...

Hey all! It's been a while, but we were on a mission to save the human race in the future and we had to figure out which woman we had to impregnate with the savior of the world here in the present! Needless to say, it's been very frustrating. You didn't think we'd be back, but... On this episode of Midnight Flix, we step a little out of our intended mission statement and discuss a movie which is surely universally recognized as a classic: Jame's Cameron's sci-fi opus "The Terminator". We...

On this episode, we discuss Albert Pyun's 1989 Mad Max/Terminator knock -off flick, "Cyborg", featuring a fresh faced Belgian martial arts master, Jean-Claude Van Damme, on the cusp of taking the action cinema world by storm. Playing the vagabond "slinger" Gibson Rickenbacker, our hero takes on a small army of other musically monickered dystopian raiders (lead by the psychotically imposing Fender Tremolo) in a mission to get a seemingly pointless cyborg to safety to transmit information that...

Hard to believe it took this long, but we finally discuss our first Larry Cohen movie on the pod! We go back to 1982 and talk about Mr. Cohen's fantastic homage to the big monster movie: Q The Winged Serpent. It features a star-studded cast of top shelf performances by David Carradine, Richard Roundtree, and Michael Moriarity delivering a masterclass performance in method acting as Quinn the bumbling small time crook. And of course, the winged serpent itself, turning the unsuspecting denizens...

On this episode of Midnight Flix, we discuss Michael Crichton's seminal sci-fi thriller about machines gone amok: that's right, its 1973's "Westworld". We ask questions such as: are geniuses actually really idiots? what is it like getting robot poontang? why have failsafe guns, but not failsafe dynamite? It's a real rip snorter of a ride, so you better tune in...or YUL be sorry.   This episodes featured band is Stomach with the song "Bleached". Drop us a line at [email protected] and...

Adam, John and Brandon perform brain surgery on Wes Craven's 1986 sci-fi slasher morbid rom-com, "Deadly Friend".

Hope you've trained for extensive training montages and conditioned your mullets, cause this week we are taking a spin kick to the eye patch of 1989's martial arts drama "Best of the Best". John's not so sure if this childhood favorite is a favorite anymore, but Adam comes away from this first time watch pleasantly surprised. Brandon is not impressed with Alex Grady's fathering skills, and we all definitely can't wrap our minds around what exactly makes this rag-tag bunch "The Best of the...

On this week's episode we get sucked into the cyberpunk virtual reality vortex of John Flynn's 1994 sci-fi slasher "Brainscan". We discuss whether this movie is trying to be a movie for the kiddos, or one for the grown-ups, why aren't there more movies about haunted Toby Keith CD's, and whether The Trickster is just Drop Dead Fred on crack, amongst other things.

This week we go back to the mean streets of Chicago in 1983 and discuss Rick Rosenthal's teen delinquency crime drama "Bad Boys", starring a very young Sean Penn, Ally Sheedy, Clancy Brown, and a host of other baby-faces. You thought we would be covering Michael Bay's 1995 hip buddy cop movie of the same title starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, didn't you? Wrong podcast, ya schmuck. 3 weeks in solitary for you!

Brandon, John and Adam snort a pile of asbestos and take a trip to the nut house as we talk about Brad Anderson's 2001 slow burn creeper "Session 9".
