This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve are pleased to welcome Logan and Thon of the Ghoulish University podcast to close out our 2 month ode to Halloween with The Midnight Hour from 1985. a film that is highly emblematic of the spirit of spooky season.
Don't be a pooper - join us as we wax autumnal discussing this festive flick with a soundtrack that's kicking like Van Damme, Levar Burton playing a goofy tv movie predator, hypothetical necrophilia QUESTION MARK, and get treated to a little Red I mean Dead Foreman.
The porpoises, midnight hour companions and keen observers, dare to raise the undead inadvertently, invoke a time stamped curse and throw a party in this big kids on bikes without the bikes having, PG-13 attempt at Night of the Demons.
Butterfly in the sky yo azz is about to get twice as high.
Let's wax this moonlit porpoise.

Ep. 79 - The Innkeepers (2011)

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve get spooked talking about the paranormal - ghosts, premonitions, and a wicked haunted hotel in New England while we review The Innkeepers from 2011, Ti West's sophomore outing and follow up to his break out House of the Devil from 2009.
Join us as we give Zak Bagans the night off to embark on our own ghost adventure and rap about the Yankee Pedlar Inn as depicted in the film and it's real life rumors of hauntings and unexplained occurrences, defend the honor of another patron saint of the porpoise, a one Leonard Kravitz, and try to suss out the meaning of the saying "I'm a pumpkin, I gotta kill the snake."
The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, packed up, got a grip, came equipped, grabbed their proton packs out the back and they split to try and confront the phantasmagorical horrors with-inn the Yankee Pedlar.
Have you or any of your family ever seen a spook, specter or ghost?
Let's wax this spectral porpoise.

Ep. 78 - Deathgasm (2015)

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve crank it up to 11 and shred through an indie horror banger from New Zealand that plays like a more adult kids on bikes that grew up on Evil Dead and Iron Maiden, powered by heavy metal and buckets of blood.  Tonight we're talking about Deathgasm from 2015.
Join us as we pick up change to the tune of a demonic gorefest and rap about a little Norwegian black metal, discuss some of our favorite metal acts from over the years, and rave about the practical effects and the labor of love involved in the creation of this headbanger's ball.
The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, pick up their axes ready to shred, bite, kick and savage their way through the apocalyptic demon horde that heralds the coming of Aeloth.
Let's wax this metal porpoise.

Ep. 77 - In the Mouth of Madness (1994)

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve finish off our retrospective of the Apocalypse Trilogy with the third and final entry, a funked out nightmarish symphony of cosmic horror delights conducted by the maestro of the macabre himself, John Carpenter, with his 1994 film In the Mouth of Madness.
Join us as we continue our bootackular part deux to discuss almost everything but the actual topic at hand, formally ordain Sam Neill as one of our patron saints of porpoise, discuss new aquatic mammalian hybrids, and try to make sense of this film within a book within a film?
The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, wade through this Lovecraftian love letter where the lines between fiction and reality become blurred in the midst of the eldritch horrors that are just on the other side of sanity, waiting to breach the void and defile our realm.
He is Vigo - you are like the buzzing of flies to him!
Let's wax this deified porpoise.

Ep. 76 - Prince of Darkness (1987)

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve raise the flag and welcome back esteemed guest of honor Chris from the Mount Molehill podcast as we rap about his favorite and second entry of John Carpenter's self-appointed Apocalypse Trilogy, Prince of Darkness from 1987.
Join us as we continue our second year of seasonal horror centric cinema scrutiny to discuss another Carpenter flick which has also been rediscovered over the years and, to a lesser degree, praised for its contribution to cult horror, witness both Donald Pleasence and Victor Wong absolutely defying typecast and dominating in their respective roles, and G-Baby leaves us with a trademark overshare on perfecting the art of annoying the living piss out of your significant other.
The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, dare to stare into the void that undoubtedly stares back into us as we approach nexus between religion and science while Steve calls horseshnip on Schrödinger's cat, a claim neither of us are academically qualified to make.
Have you ever had a cronut?  Tell us about your experiences with hybrid pastries.
Let's wax this prince of porpoise.

Ep. 75 - The Thing (1982)

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve once again welcome Miles to the show, a man whose insights cut sharper than a surgeon's scalpel to help us pass the blood test and review the once reviled and now widely celebrated, John Carpenter's The Thing from 1982.
Join us as we learn what four and a baby means by way of one of the many porpoise patron saints Young Jeezy, stand in awe of Rob Bottin's absolute unit of a hair piece, and discuss more of the background of The Thing including why it was so poorly received initially and now is one of the most highly revered horror films of all time.
The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, dare to overcome cabin fever and widespread paranoia in this journey through the frozen wastelands where shape-shifters lurk, trust is a rare commodity, and the only thing colder than the ice is G-Baby's ex's heart.
Could you spot a guava in a lineup full of exotic fruits?

Ep. 74 - Night of the Comet (1984)

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve flashback to a mid-80's horror/sci-fi flick about the end of the world, where a handful of survivors must come to grips with LA becoming a ghost town/zombie wasteland overnight by way of a sinister meteor in Night of the Comet from 1984.
Join us as we continue our bootackular part deux to discuss pumpkin variants, getting goofed in the corn maze, play a quick game of "Finish the Lyric" (Young Jeezy edition), and ask ourselves when the world ends, where will you draw your line in the sand?
The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, overcome by this celestial nightmare which has breached the sky, defy the gods and press forward in search of safer waters.
I don't know what the hell that means.
Let's wax this meteoric porpoise.

Ep. 73 - The Borderlands (2013)

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve return to horror in order to properly herald the coming of the Halloween season as we give a butcher's to the little known found footage delight called The Borderlands (aka Final Prayer in the US and Canada) from 2013 which has been called the UK's most disturbing found footage film ever, okurrr.
Join us as we journey across the pond to brush up on found footage 101, talk about some of the generational tactics employed by religious institutions to bring about pagan assimilation, bumping the Pristiq jingle part deux and our own plan to convert the masses, Steve's fear of confined spaces, and we remember simpler times where we had to lug around a caselogic binder full of CD's in order to get our musical fix.
The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, bathed in unholy water and cast asunder, seek redemption and reconsecration in the eyes of the almighty god.
What's your favorite Young Jeezy song and can you finish the lyric "Cook ya faster than a T-Bone at ____"?

Ep. 72 - They Cloned Tyrone (2023)

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve take on a brand new flick neither have seen before - a cinematic cocktail that pays homage to the neon-lit streets  of the 70s blaxploitation era to great effect, folded in with equal parts mystery, comedy, sci-fi and maybe a touch of horror in Juel Taylor's directorial debut, They Cloned Tyrone from 2023.
Join us across 110th street as we discuss beige bananas, bumping the Pristiq jingle, getting hypnotized by the elementary book fair and those Magic Eye posters, connecting with our characters and I think we'll just go ahead and place Jamie Foxx in the pantheon of porpoise patron saints, he just don't miss.
The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers grown in a lab and taught to assimilate will rebel and turn against their puppeteers in the shadows.  Off to see the wizard again, or something like that.
Hollow Man - great movie or the greatest movie?

Ep. 71 - Kill List (2011)

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve welcome back special guest, Rob Zombie enthusiast and friend of the show, the Wintergreen Zebra himself, Hydraberg from A Cut Above: Horror Review to examine Ben Wheatley's hauntingly violent UK crime/thriller melange from 2011, Kill List.
Join us as we discuss Trailer Swift, Hydra's deep lust for exposition - no kink shaming here, director Ben Wheatley's cult film leanings amidst this very cult-like film and finish off with a fun anecdote from Harrison Ford, another of the highly esteemed patron saints of the porpoise.
The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, guide us through the depths of human depravity, exploring the thin line between hero and monster in this underseen gem.
Let's wax this alchemical porpoise.
