Andy, Joe Dubs, Chaz, and Zack close out the month with two cult horror favorites: George A.

And how does it compare to Night of the Living Dead and Day of the Dead? 🧪 BRIDE OF RE-ANIMATOR (1990) Then things get completely insane as Herbert West returns with more experiments, reanimated body parts, and questionable medical decisions! We break down Jeffrey Combs' hilarious performance, the movie's outrageous practical effects, its bizarre Frankenstein-inspired storyline, and whether this cult sequel lives up to the original Re-Animator. 🏆 THE FINAL HORROR SEQUEL RANKINGS!

🚛 FINAL DESTINATION 2 We're revisiting one of the most infamous opening sequences in horror history — the highway log truck disaster! We discuss the movie's ridiculous death scenes, the infamous falling-glass kill, Tony Todd's mysterious character, Death's increasingly complicated rules, and whether this sequel is actually better than expected. 🧩 SAW IV Then we're entering Jigsaw's twisted world with Saw IV. Chaz attempts to defend one of his personal favorites while the rest of the crew questions the movie's confusing timeline, elaborate traps, green-tinted cinematography, and interconnected storyline. Is Saw IV an underrated chapter of the franchise, or does it require watching the previous three movies just to understand what's happening? We also explore Jigsaw's origin, the franchise's complicated continuity, and why Saw might be the Kingdom Hearts of horror movies! 😂 🎬 PLUS — THE HOST-CREDIT SCENE!

Horror sequels are going to SPACE! Our “Not This Guy Again” horror-sequel month continues as Andy brings two franchises into the final frontier: Critters 4 and Leprechaun 4: In Space. First up is Critters 4, a strange sci-fi sequel that takes its sweet time actually getting to the Critters. We discuss its Alien influences, Brad Dourif, Angela Bassett, surprisingly decent sets, the bizarre casting history of the Critters franchise and why there's just enough here to make some of us curious about the other movies. Then things get considerably worse with Leprechaun 4: In Space. Warwick Davis returns alongside Space Marines, mad scientists, questionable special effects, bizarre DNA experiments and a Leprechaun who eventually becomes VERY large. We try to figure out whether there's anything worth salvaging from one of the strangest entries in the Leprechaun franchise. Then stick around for the Host-Credit Scene as we catch up on everything we've been watching, playing and doing. Next week: Final Destination 2 and Saw IV!
