It's finally time we here at WGT get into a slate of some new 2024 genre offerings. First up, STOPMOTION, the debut feature length film from director Robert Morgan, who's got a bunch of fantastic short films you should probably check out. He's also the guy responsible for the D is for Deloused segment of 2014's 'ABC's of Death' horror anthology. We invite you to join our Patreon subscribers if you enjoy the show! As a patreon member you get the episodes early, bonus content, access to our...

Welcome back haomies! One more trip to the 90's before we get it going with some 2024 horror releases. This episode we get into the chamber piece horrors of 1997's CUBE. The film is fairly influential and has developed a niche cult following over time. Jorge and Jacob also discuss Cube 2, which is f*****g insane. Both are currently available on Prime for those wanting a re-watch or watching for the first time. "It's all the same machine, right? The Pentagon, multinational corporations, the...

Greetings! We’ve got a couple more visits to the late 90’s before getting into some current 2024 horror releases.  DISTURBING BEHAVIOR is the raw essence of 1998 distilled into pure, shameless, trash. Katie Holmes, horny/homicidal teens, an incoherent mind control premise, stock thematic elements about the dangers of conformity, and James Marsden looking like a full grown man in his early 30’s portraying a high school student. Join us as we discuss this important milestone in cinematic...

It's Cronenberg time. A bit of a spiritual successor to Videodrome, 1999's eXistenZ sees Papa Cronenberg f*****g with gaming and virtual reality in his characteristically cerebral, absurd, and physically repellent way. eXistenZ joins Dark City and The Matrix as late 90's, pre-millenium forays into the notion of simulated reality and this is definitely the most surreal of the bunch, and possibly the most prophetic. This is Jorge's first viewing in a couple decades and Jacob's first ever....

Greetings idiots! We've got a few episodes coming up in rapid succession the next couple weeks- and it's a damn weird slate. First up is 2001's French dark fantasy/period piece, action/horror genre mashup, BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF. It's got French knights, indigenous warriors, vatican spys, harlots, political intrigue, martial arts, sword fights, secret societies, and a big damn monster that rips people apart.   "Wolves howl. I went not warily. Though I bore no malice, verily, your sly eye...

Picture this if you will, it's January 1999. Britney Spears' debut album is all over the place, bands like Sugar Ray and Limp Bizkit saturate alternative radio, Michael Bay's Armageddon was the biggest movie last Summer, and Bill Clinton "did not have sexual relations with that woman." SIKE! Just as we begin our spiral into the imminent Y2K apocalypse, Universal Pictures decides to dump an R-Rated $75 million scifi-horror adaptation of a dope Dark Horse comic book in theaters. This episode,...

Happy New Year pilgrims! Welcome back and welcome to 2024. This episode (our last recorded in 2023) we discuss Eli Roth’s holiday-themed slasher, THANKSGIVING.   Is the movie a new annual tradition or is it just another seasonal annoyance? Listen and find out.  "Show some enthusiasm. Thanksgiving is an institution here. It's Thanks-f*****g-giving! Every weapon he's using is straight off a Thanksgiving table. This year, there will be... no leftovers!" It's the Who Goes There Podcast Episode...

Another year has come and (almost) gone but we've got a couple more episodes for you as we close out 2023. Gojira is one of the most enduring film characters in cinema history. Since first appearing in the 1954 original, everyone's favorite reptilian Kaiju has starred in a total of 38 films and counting. Between Warner Bros. MonsterVerse film franchise and the Monarch: Legacy of Monsters series on Apple TV+, Godzilla is having a bit of a moment right now, again. We've seen a lot of...

We had a little poll not too long ago to select what film we should do for our milestone 400th episode. When all was said and done, there was one film which ended up narrowly edging out other finalists like American Werewolf in Paris and Tales From the Hood. That film was Rob Zombie’s 2005 ode to psychotic trash , THE DEVIL’S REJECTS.    If you enjoy the show, consider joining our Patreon.

This episode we weigh-in on WHEN EVIL LURKS, Argentinian writer/director Demian Rugna’s follow up to his 2017 feature film debut, Atterados. There's a whole lot of films in the demonic possession horror sub-genre. Is it still possible to create something fresh and unique with such an arguably overused trope? Listen and find out. Also, watch and find out. WHEN EVIL LURKS is currently available on Shudder if you haven't seen it. If you enjoy the show, consider joining our Patreon. For less...

The year is 1995. Kurt Cobain blew his head off last year, or someone blew his head off, at the very least. Singles from Smashing Pumpkins’ Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, The Offsprings’ Smash, and Radiohead’s The Bends are lighting up the radio. And Wonderwall, don’t forget Wonderwall. Secretly, and shamefully, you regularly check VH1 to see if the video for Collective Soul’s song, “December” is on. No one must ever know about this 🎶 Then, here comes Natasha Henstridge as a...

There’s been a whole lot of talk about aliens lately. Some of it potentially historic, some of it hilarious. This episode we take a deep dive into the film adaptation of Whitley Streiber’s best-selling book based upon his own alleged experiences with extraterrestrials, 1989’s COMMUNION 👽  Grey aliens, sleep paralysis, abduction, bad late 80’s fashion, alien dance parties, little blue people, doppelgängers, anal probes, and a lead performance from Christopher Walken at peak absurdity make...

Sahhhhhh dudes! As the reigning monarch of our Patreon, King Hans has decreed a foray into the action splatter excess of 2008's TOKYO GORE POLICE.

This episode we get into Korean auteur Park Chan-Wook’s modern cult classic, OLDBOY,  which recently celebrated its 20th anniversary with a limited theatrical re-release. It’s a tale of revenge, obsession, torture, and terrible truths. It’s also got one of the most influential single-shot takes in cinema history, involving a hammer.

There's not too many genre mashup monster/comedy/adventure/horror films out there, and even less that are any good. What other cases can be made against 1990's TREMORS? Well, it's PG-13, so there's that. It has Reba McEntire and the Dad from Family Ties. But enough of all that,  if you’re among those of us who helped turn it into a cult classic over the years after its abysmal initial theatrical run, you already know this is all a jest. How does it hold up though? Listen and find out.  "So...

Drug addict cyborgs, infant hostages, elderly abuse, kid drug lords, the firebombing of a drug treatment clinic, a violent robbery committed by a pack of boy scouts and their scout leader. When Frank Miller (yes, that Frank Miller) landed the gig writing ROBOCOP 2, it's as though he took it upon himself as a personal challenge to push the savage satirical edge of the first film to it's most extreme form. But how has this initially maligned sequel aged over the years? Is it worthy of a...

This episode we finally discuss A24's recent breakout, Talk To Me. Serving as the feature film directorial debut of brothers Danny and Michael Philippou, the movie revolves around a group of teenagers experimenting with a mysterious embalmed hand which allows them to contact, and temporarily be inhabited by, spirits. Needless to say, things go too far. Prior to writing and helming the film, the Philippou Brothers created and have operated Australian Youtube Channel RackaRacka since 2013,...

Haomies! This episode we return to 1997 when Al Pacino ("greeeeeeeat ass!!!") played himself playing the devil and Keanu Reeves terrified us with his attempt at a Southern Accent. It's The Who Goes There Podcast, Episode 390: The Devil's Advocate. Review starts right around the 30-minute mark, after Jorge and Rhett briefly discuss some Billy Joel deep cuts. "Who are you carrying all those bricks for anyway? God? Is that it? God? Why I'll tell you...let me give you a little inside...

Awww shit, here we go again. This episode we review all five episodes of Black Mirror, Season 6. While Season 4 had it's high points, most notably an episode entitled USS Callister starring Meth Damon (Jessie Plemons), I think most will agree Season 5 was easily the worst of the series. So, we had high hopes that series creator Charlie Brooker had taken his time and bounced back with a new season to bring us more of the existential dread and dark, dizzying forays into the implications of...

Greetings idiots! And so it came to pass that beloved King Hans, in his wisdom and discernment, blessed us with a horror relic from the atomic age- 1954's THEM! As part of his privileges as reigning king of our patreon, good ol' Hans gets to pick a film. As stated by the man himself, this was selected to accompany the theatrical release of Oppenheimer, as it relates to the aftermath of all the nuclear testing in New Mexico. Besides that though, it all pairs pretty gooooooood with our prior...

Welcome back. How ya been? This episode we’re talking Paul Verhoeven’s gory military satire, STARSHIP TROOPERS. While universally praised for it’s staggering visual effects and creature design courtesy of Phill Tippet, upon initial release the film was considered a commercial and critical failure. The satirical elements were mostly misunderstood and even occasionally interpreted to mean the exact opposite of what was intended. Verhoeven’s hyper-violence and grisly combat scenes were perhaps...
