Advertise on podcast: Nightmares and Cold Ones

Jim and John find themselves in Dark City, a neo-noir sci-fi flick directed by Alex Proyas of the Crow fame. The story follows a man with amnesia with psychic abilities who is a murder suspect that is on the run from fancy hat wearing ghouls called the Strangers - yep there's a lot going on in this one. The Cold Ones gang get into all the reasons why the movie is great: incredible set design, a mind-bending story, Rufus Sewell's dreamy face, this movie has it all! After the guys wrap up the movie talk, they share some thoughts on Welcome to Derry and the possibility of having a deeper dive discussion of HBO's hit show. So, sit back, crack a cold one and enjoy the chat.

G, Kristina and John take one more trip back to Derry. The Losers are back in town, but do they have what it takes to eliminate an interdimensional evil creature? Join us one last time to discuss one of King's best works.

The Cold Ones gang takes a break from Stephen King's It and find themselves on 8 Mile staring Eminem. Yes, that's right, the drinking obsessed horror podcast is watching a movie about an aspiring rapper, big whoop wanna fight about it? Between recounting B-Rabbit's struggles, John and Ronan get nostalgic about growing up in the nineties and early aughts with the shifting music scene. So, sit back, crack a cold one and enjoy this stroll down memory lane.

Kristina, John and Gina continue their analysis on one of King's best horror stories...

On a rainy day a boy in a yellow slicker sailed a paper boat down a stream along a flooded street. Little Georgie was dismayed when he saw the paper boat sail into a sewer. When he had all but given up on retrieving the boat Georgie heard the voice of a curious character in the sewer, it was Pennywise the Dancing Clown. While Georgie was first caught off guard by seeing a figure in the sewer, he couldn't help himself from taking a closer look... And thus, Stephen King gifted coulrophobia to generations of kids. Sister G, Kristina with a K and John dig into one of the seminal horror stories of the '80's. It was meant to be Stephen King's final statement on the horror genre. What's a better way to bid farewell to spooky stuff than bringing all of the monsters into the fold? You have The Mummy, Frankenstein's Monster, The Werewolf, but the best part is it is all It - a creature from outside our dimension which feeds on our fear and feasts on our flesh. We know you've been watching the new show on HBO, so why not dig more into the novel with the Cold Ones gang? So, crack that cold one, and take a trip with us to Derry, if you dare.

Join Jim and John as they sink their teeth into (I did it, I made the dumb joke!) one of John Carpenter's less appreciated but still awesome flick, Vampires. The Western/Horror hybrid follows a band of vampire hunters sanctioned by the catholic church. The two hosts praise the 90's aesthetic and get into what's so satisfying about Carpenter's directing style. Towards the end of the chat the two discuss their excitement for It: Welcome to Derry. Sit back, crack a cold one and enjoy.

Kristina and John finish their marathon discussion on The Long Walk

Tini and John discuss the year's best feel bad/good movie, The Long Walk, directed by Francis Lawrence, based on a Stephen King novel written under the Richard Bachman penname. A precursor to Battle Royale and The Hunger Games, The Long Walk follows a group of kids participating in a deadly competition where there's only one winner. Kristina and John dig into how they could love such a movie that's so grim. So, make sure you stretch, grab your best walking shoes, and join us for part one of our marathon discussion of this harrowing flick.

John and Jim are back to discuss James Gunn's Superman! The two touch on the state of the DC films over the past few years and also the excitement of Gunn-led DCU. And while the Internet doesn't require two more dudes debating Zach Snyder's take on The Man of Steel vs. James Gunn, the Cold Ones guys decided to pitch in their thoughts on the matter here and there. It's a bit of a loopier episode that almost never got off the ground after an atrocious intro by John (apologies everyone!), but the guys get to some fun discussion on one of the most recognizable superheroes we have. Sit back, crack a cold one and enjoy.

G and John take a big 'ol bite out of Thinner, written under King's pseudonym Richard Bachman. What happens when you have an egotistical lawyer, an old man with a grudge, and a cartoony gangster? Well perhaps King's best book written under the Bachman pen name. Throw in some disturbing curses, a slingshot wielding girl, and a cursed pie... yep that's right, a cursed pie, then you have some schlock that would make the Crypt Keeper giggle with glee. Sit back, crack a cold one and enjoy.

Oh boy! Tini and John take a deep dive into Robert Zemeckis' satire of the glamours Hollywood life of the '90's. The two can't help but talk about their love of movies from this time along with seminal horror series that may have inspired today's movie, Tales From the Crypt. Sit back, crack a cold one and enjoy.

G and John have a fun chat about one of King's very few forays into the fantasy genre. The two are very happy to see an old friend return; the magician with the smile of a dead man, the man with many monikers that loves to bring chaos in his wake, whether it's in mid-world, a plagued alternate version of America, or in this case an ancient kingdom called Delain. Yes, that's right Randall Flagg is back in one of King's underrated tales. Sit back, grab a flagon of ale, and enjoy this chat.

What's this, The Cold Ones gang repeating themselves? Not quite, guys. While we covered Edgar Wright's classic zombie movie a few years ago, Jim and John are tackling the flick in a different way today: Could we survive the movie? To spoil stuff, na, we wouldn't make it - but you should still tune in to see how we think we'd die! Mixed in are some musings on burgers and bitching about Max rebranding for their third time in like 5 years. Sit back, crack a cold one and enjoy

G and John are back with the Stephen King discussions! In this episode we take a deep dive into one of King's earliest entries into the fantasy genre. The two discuss this world hopping, Dark Tower related tale of a kid on a quest to save his mother while battling creatures from another dimension. Please join us, right here and now as we run with the moon and journey with Jack Sawyer on his quest to save his mother with a magical Talisman which doesn't just impact one world, but all worlds.

John and Rich finish up their marathon discussion!
