On this bonus episode of My Bloody Podcast, Bryan Kluger and Marc Ciafardini test their nine lives by adopting a litter of demonic cats, which is generally how one ends up on a first-name basis with an exorcist. The occasion is CatNip, and the men welcome producer, actor, and director Keli Price and filmmaker Nyle Cavazos Garcia for a gloriously bloody conversation about horror, practical mayhem, and the fine art of turning America’s most beloved lap companions into four-legged agents of terror. The post Bonus Episode With Keli Price and Nyle Cavazos Garcia on CatNip first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

There are filmmakers you interview once, filmmakers you interview twice, and then there’s Mike P. Nelson, who has now appeared on My Bloody Podcast ten times, which officially makes him less of a guest and more of a recurring character we apparently refuse to write out. On this bonus episode, Bryan Kluger and Marc Ciafardini welcome Mike back to discuss his brand-new Lionsgate horror film, Beware Boiúna, which is a movie about a gargantuan, man-eating snake in Colombia, because apparently, regular-sized problems were no longer terrifying enough. The post Bonus Episode With Mike P. Nelson on Beware Boiúna first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

On Episode #198 of My Bloody Podcast, Bryan Kluger and Marc Ciafardini welcome Martin Macphail, one of the key ingredients in the iconic composing trio Blitz/Berlin, for a gloriously bloody deep dive into George A. Romero’s 1985 zombie opus Day of the Dead. And boy, does the conversation get into the nitty-gritty. The post Episode #198 – Day of the Dead (1985) With Martin Macphail of Blitz//Berlin first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

On this bonus episode of My Bloody Podcast, Bryan Kluger and Marc Ciafardini welcome filmmaker Dave Boyle for a spirited tour through horror, cinema, Japan, and the many ways a trip to the dentist can become a genuinely terrifying proposition. Boyle’s latest film, Never After Dark, is a brilliant, beautifully unnerving Japanese horror movie featuring ghosts, blood, dark hallways, and enough dental anxiety to make you reconsider ever opening your mouth again. We get into Boyle’s beginnings, his years working in Japan, his love of Asian cinema, the peculiar art of scaring the hell out of people, and why horror remains one of cinema’s most wonderfully elastic forms. It’s a terrific conversation, and, mercifully, no dentists were harmed. The post Bonus Episode: Never After Dark (2026) with Dave Boyle first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

Some comedians understand horror, and then there are comedians who understand that horror is basically comedy after everyone has stopped laughing. Derek Sheen belongs firmly in the latter category. On Episode #197 of My Bloody Podcast, Bryan and Preston welcome the terrific and genuinely hilarious stand-up comic to the show for a conversation that manages to cover witches, trauma, loneliness, horror movies, Adam Scott, and the eternal question of whether a person can be both handsome and profoundly unpleasant. The post Episode #197 – Hokum (2026) With Comedian Derek Sheen first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

On this special episode of My Bloody Podcast, Bryan, Preston, and Chelsea welcome Henry Thomas to discuss his new film, Due West. It isn’t horror in the traditional sense, meaning there are no monsters hiding under the bed, unless you count the increasingly alarming state of the country. This is a different kind of horror. It's the kind that is painfully real, unfolding across America and particularly in Texas, where the film was shot and takes place. The post Bonus Episode with Henry Thomas on Due West first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

Certain movies function less as entertainment and more as a personality test. Mention Assault on Precinct 13 (1976) in a room full of film fans, and someone will inevitably lean forward, lower their voice, and begin talking about John Carpenter as though they've just discovered fire. The post Episode #196 – Assault on Precinct 13 (1976) first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

Pitfall delivers exactly what its title promises. It gives you grisly set pieces, plenty of laughs, and enough gore to make camping seem like an aggressively antisocial hobby. And this bonus episode is the perfect companion piece. Watch the film wherever you can, then queue up My Bloody Podcast wherever you get your shows. Just don't listen to it while hiking. Horror movies have taught us enough by now. The post Bonus Episode with Alex Essoe and Richard Harmon on Pitfall (2026) first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

On Episode #195 of My Bloody Podcast, Bryan Kluger and Preston Barta return to this glorious blood-soaked relic to celebrate its nightmare-fuel vampire creatures, marvel at some truly baffling casting decisions, and unpack the single film review so spectacularly misguided it managed to unite everyone in disbelief. It's equal parts horror criticism, affectionate roasting, and a love letter to an era when genre movies remembered that fun was not a dirty word. The post Episode #195 – Blade II (2002) first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

There are movies people revisit because they reveal something new with age. There's The Godfather. There's Casablanca. Of course, there is There Will Be Blood. And then there's The Human Centipede. This week on Episode #194 of my Bloody Podcast, Bryan Kluger and Preston Barta finally descend into the cinematic sewer that is Tom Six's notorious 2009 cult shocker. The post Episode #194 – The Human Centipede (2009) first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

This week, for Episode #193, Bryan Kluger, Preston Barta, and Chelsea Nicole point their flashlights skyward toward Steven Spielberg’s 2005 alien panic attack, War of the Worlds. With Spielberg’s latest blockbuster, Disclosure Day, currently vacuuming up box-office dollars, the trio revisits what may be the director’s meanest film in a post-9/11 nightmare disguised as a summer popcorn movie. The post Episode #193 – War of the Worlds (2005) first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

For Episode #192, however, something unusual happens. They hated the movie. Not in the performative internet sense, where outrage is monetized, and every disappointment is treated like a constitutional crisis. No, this was genuine horror-fan heartbreak. The film in question is Scream 7, the latest entry in a franchise that has spent nearly three decades cleverly mocking nostalgia before eventually becoming trapped inside it. The post Episode #192 – Scream 7 (2026) first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

For Episode #191, Bryan and Preston sink their teeth into the glorious 2002 relic Queen of the Damned, the film that gave us Aaliyah as the impossibly cool vampire queen Akasha and Stuart Townsend as Lestat, replacing Tom Cruise's version of the character with considerably more eyeliner and approximately three hundred percent more Hot Topic energy. Revisiting the film today feels a bit like opening a time capsule filled with black nail polish, chain wallets, and a burned CD labeled "Korn Mix." The post Episode #191 – Queen of the Damned (2002) first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

In Episode #190, the pair descend into the deeply perspiring nightmare of Magic from 1978, a film in which Anthony Hopkins gives one of the most alarming performances of the 1970s, armed with nothing more than a ventriloquist dummy, emotional repression, and the posture of a man who has not slept since Watergate. The post Episode #190 – Magic (1978) first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

This time, Bryan Kluger and Preston Barta welcome the ever-game Mena Suvari, who arrives bearing fangs and stories from her new film, Vampires of the Velvet Lounge. Suvari, who first scorched herself into the pop-culture psyche in American Pie and later drifted, ghostlike and unforgettable, through American Beauty, has since built the sort of career that zigzags cheerfully between cult oddities and studio landmarks, stops along the way including Sugar & Spice, Loser, and Spun.
