EARLY ACCESS ~ SOUTH PARK S27E1

South Park – “Sermon on the ’Mount” (Season 27, Episode 1) is a full-throttle, gleefully unhinged return to form that had us howling from the cold open to the final, unholy deepfake. It’s like Trey and Matt came back from a long nap, stretched real hard, cracked their necks, and said, “Alright, who’s getting roasted first?” Spoiler: it’s everyone View Post

FULL WATCHALONG ~ RAISING ARIZONA

Raising Arizona isn’t just a great movie—it’s a miracle of tone, chaos, and pure cinematic heart. The Coen Brothers' second feature is one of those lightning-in-a-bottle experiences where everything clicks: the performances, the music, the madness, and somehow, even the sentimentality. It’s anarchic and absurd, but never mean-spirited. In fact, it’s kind of...

EARLY ACCESS ~ SCARY MOVIE 2

Scary Movie 2 (2001) is a chaotic, juvenile, ghost-ridden free-for-all that knows exactly what it is and doesn’t even pretend to behave better. It’s less of a sequel and more of a fever dream where a bunch of comedians were locked in a haunted mansion, dared to outgross each other, and filmed the results. It’s messy, crude, and wildly inconsistent—but when it w...

EARLY ACCESS ~ FREDDY VS JASON

Freddy vs. Jason (2003) is the monster mashup fever dream that took a decade of development hell, script rewrites, fan fights, and studio indecision—and somehow came out the other side as a blood-soaked, nu-metal-fueled WWE match with machetes and finger knives.

Let’s be clear: this movie is absolutely ridiculous, and also? A total bl...

EARLY ACCESS ~ DREAM WARRIORS

A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987) is where Freddy Krueger leveled up from dream-stalking ghoul to full-blown horror rockstar—and it’s glorious. This is the film where the franchise finds its sweet spot: creative, terrifying, emotionally grounded, and just the right amount of ridiculous. It’s also where Nancy Thompson returns, bat...

FULL WATCHALONG ~ US

Us (2019) is Jordan Peele’s bold, eerie follow-up to Get Out, and while it’s visually striking and anchored by a stellar dual performance from Lupita Nyong’o, it sometimes feels like it’s a little too impressed with its own mystery. The setup is brilliant—a seemingly normal family vacation is interrupted by a group of doppelgängers ...

EARLY ACCESS ~ JASON X (YT EDIT)

Jason X (2001) is what happens when a franchise has run out of woods, cabins, camps, cruise ships, and logic—so they strap a machete to a cyborg and launch him into space. It’s not a horror movie. It’s a sci-fi parody masquerading as a Jason movie, and even that feels generous.

Tara hated it. Hated the tone, the lo...

EARLY ACCESS ~ JASON GOES TO HELL

Friday the 13th Part IX: Jason Goes to Hell – The Final Friday (1993) is the franchise’s equivalent of jumping a dirt bike over a shark while chugging gasoline and shouting, “Screw it, we’re doing something new!” And apparently? Tara thought it was incredible. Her new favorite in the series. She’s fully on board for the demonic bod...

FULL WATCHALONG ~ NOES 3 - DREAM WARRIORS

A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987) is the moment Freddy Krueger traded in pure terror for personality—and it works. This is where the franchise finds its true identity: a dark fantasy-horror hybrid, where dreams aren’t just places to die—they’re battlefields. And this time, the kids fight back.

After the murky weirdness of...

EARLY ACCESS ~ JASON TAKES MANHATTAN

Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989) is one of the most gloriously false advertisements in horror history. Jason doesn’t take Manhattan—he barely visits it. What he actually takes is a cruise ship, the patience of the audience, and roughly 80% of the movie's runtime spent floating on a budget version of the Titanic with ...

EARLY ACCESS ~ FREDDY'S REVENGE (YT EDIT)

A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy’s Revenge (1985) is the weird, sweaty middle child of the franchise—the one everyone side-eyed for years but has since been embraced as a gloriously chaotic, queer-coded fever dream. It’s the sequel that didn’t follow the rules, didn’t stick to the formula, and instead went completely off the rails in a way that’s now legenda...

FULL WATCHALONG ~ HORRIBLE BOSSES

Horrible Bosses (2011) is one of those chaotic buddy comedies where the plot is just barely holding back a tidal wave of bad decisions—and that’s exactly why it works. It’s simple: three miserable friends, three nightmare bosses, one terribly thought-out murder plan that spirals out of control faster than Jason Bateman can deadpan his way through a conversation.

A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (YT EDIT)

A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) isn’t just a slasher—it’s a seismic shift in horror that blends brutal kills, surreal dream logic, and deep psychological trauma into something that still cuts decades later. Wes Craven didn’t just give us another masked killer—he created Freddy Krueger, the ultimate boogeyman who doesn’t just chase ...

**Scary Movie** (2000) doesn’t work without **Anna Faris**—period. She’s the beating heart of the entire ridiculous thing, and she walks the perfect line between wide-eyed innocence and absolute comedic insanity. This was her breakout role, and it’s no accident. Faris has this rare ability to play the dumbest situations completely straight, with just enough cluelessness to sell it but n...

EARLY ACCESS ~ GET OUT (YT EDIT)

Get Out (2017) doesn’t just slap—it detonates. This movie is a thermonuclear genre bomb wrapped in a cardigan, served with herbal tea, and weaponized against every smiling, microaggressively liberal suburbanite who ever uttered the phrase, “I would’ve voted for Obama a third time.” Jordan Peele’s debut isn’t just brilliant—it’s surgical, sava...

EARLY ACCESS ~ FRIDAY THE 13TH 7 (YT EDIT)

Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (1988) is where the franchise fully yeets itself into the supernatural deep end—and thank God it does, because by this point, we’ve seen Jason stab, slash, and squish every horny teen archetype imaginable. So now? Jason goes toe-to-toe with a telekinetic girl in a lakeside psychic smackdown, and it’s kind of glorious in a “What ev...

FULL WATCHALONG ~ GET OUT

Get Out (2017) is what happens when a horror movie takes a sledgehammer to polite liberal racism and disguises it as a weekend getaway from hell. Jordan Peele’s directorial debut isn’t just scary—it’s uncomfortably real, using genre tropes to expose the kind of racism that smiles at you, compliments your physique, and then tries to auction off your body like a ...

Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (1986) isn’t just the best Friday the 13th sequel—it’s Kevin’s favorite for a damn good reason: it’s the one where the franchise stops dicking around, digs up Jason’s corpse, and says, “Let’s make a horror movie that actually knows it’s fun.” Lightning bolt resurrection? Gothic cemetery intro? Jason punc...

EARLY ACCESS ~ Friday the 13th Part V

Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning (1985) is the sleazy, unhinged, "trash TV at midnight" cousin of the franchise—and honestly? That’s kind of why it rules. It may not have the real Jason, but it leans so hard into camp, exploitation, and over-the-top kills that it somehow becomes its own chaotic masterpiece of 80s horror weirdness.
