Underworld (2003) - EP 419 Spooktober continues, Normies! This week, we're trading our zombie outbreaks for an ancient blood feud as we sink our teeth into the leather-clad, blue-tinted world of Underworld (2003)! That's right, it's vampires versus werewolves, and apparently the only way to settle a centuries-old supernatural conflict is with automatic weapons, trench coats, and an absolutely unreasonable amount of hair gel! Join your hosts as they follow Kate Beckinsale's Selene, a vampire Death Dealer caught in the middle of a war between bloodsuckers and Lycans, only to discover that everything she knows about the conflict might be a lie. Directed by Len Wiseman, this gothic action-horror hit helped define the early 2000s supernatural aesthetic and launched a franchise that refused to stay dead. But does this stylish monster mash still have bite, or is it just The Matrix with fangs? From Bill Nighy's delightfully dramatic Viktor to Michael Sheen's surprisingly sympathetic werewolf revolutionary, we're breaking down the mythology, the monster transformations, the industrial soundtrack, and the seemingly endless supply of black leather. Plus, we're asking the important questions: Why do vampires need so many guns? Who thought ultraviolet bullets were a good idea? And can we finally admit the werewolves might have a point? The war has begun, Normies! So sharpen your fangs, load your silver bullets, and pick a side, because we're going underground to uncover the secrets of Underworld on Normies Like Us!

Resident Evil (2002) - EP 418 Spooktober continues, Normies! This week, we're entering the Hive, where the world's most evil corporation has been cooking up something far worse than a hostile work environment! That's right, we're talking about the 2002 video game adaptation Resident Evil! Join your hosts as they follow Milla Jovovich's Alice through a deadly underground laboratory filled with zombies, mutant monsters, questionable corporate decisions, and one very memorable laser hallway. Directed by Paul W. S. Anderson, this early 2000s horror-action classic kicked off a massive film franchise, but does it successfully capture the survival horror of the beloved Capcom games, or is it just another video game movie infected with bad decisions? From the Red Queen's chilling warnings to the unforgettable zombie dogs, we're breaking down the scares, the soundtrack, the ridiculous twists, and everything that makes this movie a time capsule of Y2K horror. You're all going to die down here! So grab your green herbs, check your inventory, and don't forget to save your game, because it's time to enter the survival horror on Normies Like Us!

They're under the ground, they're hungry, and they're coming for you! Spooktober 2026 kicks off on Normies Like Us as your hosts head to the sleepy desert town of Perfection, Nevada, to tackle the 1990 cult classic Tremors! From the terrifying Graboids to Burt Gummer's outrageous arsenal, we're digging deep into the practical effects, unforgettable characters, and surprisingly clever monster-movie mechanics that make this film a cut above the rest. Is Tremors the perfect blend of horror and humor? Does Kevin Bacon ever make a bad movie? And just how many sequels can one franchise squeeze out of giant subterranean worms? The ground is shaking, the Graboids are hungry, and we're getting the hell off these rocks! Grab your elephant gun and watch your step, because this Spooktober episode of Normies Like Us is about to cause some serious TREMORS!

X-Men: First Class - Ep. 412 Suit up, Normies, because class is officially in session! Your hosts travel back to 1962 to witness the beginning of the X-Men in X-Men: First Class. Before Professor X and Magneto were bitter enemies, Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr were two friends with very different ideas about the future of mutantkind. We’re talking James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender stepping into two iconic roles, Kevin Bacon chewing scenery as Sebastian Shaw, January Jones bringing the diamond-hard attitude as Emma Frost, and a young team of mutants learning to control their powers just in time to prevent World War III. Does Matthew Vaughn’s stylish prequel still rank among the best films in the X-Men franchise? How well does the friendship between Charles and Erik hold up? And just how much does this movie care about the continuity of the films that came before it? Grab your yellow-and-blue uniform, fire up Cerebro, and remember — peace was never an option — on this mutant-filled episode of Normies Like Us!

X-Men Origins: Wolverine - Ep. 411 On this episode of Normies Like Us, we’re digging into Logan’s mysterious past, his complicated relationship with Sabretooth, the Weapon X program, adamantium skeletons, questionable CGI claws, and a version of Deadpool that probably should have stayed buried. Hugh Jackman is back as Wolverine, Liev Schreiber is having the time of his life, and somehow Will.i.am is here too! Is X-Men Origins: Wolverine really as bad as we remember? Are there some diamonds hiding underneath all that adamantium? And just how badly can you misunderstand Deadpool before Ryan Reynolds demands a do-over?
