Opa! Whole Damn Family, we spin a bit of fantasy this episode for some laughs and the ins and outs of Greek Mythology. So grab the olive oil and the yogurt and join us on an epic journey as we delve into (1981) Clash of the Titans and the Christopher Nolan epic everyone is on about (2026) The Odyssey. In this episode, you'll discover what Greek mythological creatures actually sound like and learn what Tom Jones and Calibos have in common. How close is Nolan's vision to Homer's tale?

Hey Whole Damn family! We bent the rules a little bit because James had always wanted to do Strange Darling (2023) so here we are with what is a banger of a double feature, matching it with The Hitcher (1986). On this episode, we learn not to pick up hitchhikers and not to go on a one-night stand from a bar. Life lessons from HTWDT. We also get help from our friends at both Slash U and I Wanna Be in the Sequel. We talk about movie character names, we get into some Squatch Lore, and we challenge you to something at Applebees...listen and find out how to win!!   Slash U Podcast https://www.instagram.com/slashu_podcast/?hl=en I wanna Be in the Sequel Podcast https://www.instagram.com/iwannabeinthesequelpodcast/?hl=en Want to support and buy some show swag?

Well Whole Damn Family. We've done a lot of things, both Evil and Dead, this year, and the tradition continues this episode! We start with the Italian Dario Argento/Lamberto Bava gore fest Demons from (1985) Can you believe growing up with Mike, James had never seen it! What will he think? Is it too old school for him to jive, or does the ending of this movie push him over the edge with 4-cylinder wind-in-your-hair and katana-in-your-hand joy? After we get possessed by an ancient mask and an old Latin book. We crack the flesh-bound cover on another old Latin book, with (2026) Evil Dead Burn. We totally feel the burn on this one and give you the goods in spoiler-free, Whole Damn Thing style reviews. Special guest stars are Bobby (Tony the Pimp) Rhodes and terrible Italian and French accents. Want to support and buy some show swag? Check out our RedBubble store! Click on 'Explore Designs.'

Hey Whole Damn Family! When we heard about Backrooms, we immediately thought of pairing it with this low-budget, smart, and successful sci-fi thriller, Cube (1997), and we think we were on the money with this one. Fans of Robert Loggia, rejoice; we open up a gem from the vault that maybe you don't know about. What's it got to do with Cube or Backrooms, you might ask... nothing, it was just another tangent. Speaking of tangents. We also wrote a Vin Diesel movie before we moved on to the second movie, Backrooms (2026). We fall into some deep tangents in the Backrooms as well; some involve history lessons, and we were wrong, but don't worry, we fixed it! There's lots to unpack in this weirdly sci-fi horror mixtape of an episode.

Hello Whole Damn Family, this is something a bit different for our 50th episode! We decided to get nostalgic about our childhoods and explore these two movies. Honestly, this is the most fun we've had making an episode, and it shows! Does the campy nature of Flash Gordon (1980) still hold it strong? Can Masters of the Universe (2026) match it in goofy wonder? These movies may have more in common than you think. Only one way to find out. Listen and laugh, both with us and at us as we talk heavy behind-the-scenes stories and lore on Flash Gordon and Masters of the Universe. Oh and Mike Sings Flash Ahhhhhh!!

Hey, Whole Damn Family, this is just a casual rom-com weekend double feature. Just some light entertainment. Nothing heavy or freaky here...The first half of the show, we both watched Takashi Miike 's Audition (1998) for the FIRST TIME! Wow okay, well, we were prepared because we knew. To ease us into it James does some relaxing Haiku. After that, we call the One Wish Willow help line and talk all about the box office record-breaking sensation that is Curry Barker's Obsession (2026). Is it all hype, or is the hype legit?   Go check out Makeup Department head Allie Shehorn's Insta for some BTS on IObsession and more. https://www.instagram.com/allieshehornart/ Want to support and buy some show swag?

Hey, Whole Damn Family! This episode, we are inviting you to stay the night with us in two haunted hotel rooms! First, we explore the grab bag Stephen King pulled from to get 1408 (2011) , starring John Cusack, and then we head over to the Emerald Isle for Damien McCarthy's latest Hokum (2026), starring Adam Scott. Both of these films have more jumpscares than a haunted trampoline...Someone call Stephen King we have an idea for him in a creepy gym!!

Hey, Whole Damn Family! Don't let the title of the first movie fool you, there's a lot beneath the Cabin in this horror trope, Sam Raimi-inspired, zombie redneck torture family feud in the woods movie. Directed by Drew Goddard, Cabin in the Woods (2011) is a fun one, and we add a little insight into the making of it. There's also a lot going on with the Samurai Tarantino spaghetti-western Shaw Brothers action-horror movie. They Will Kill You (2026) by director Kiril Sokolof.

Hello, Whole Damn Family. This episode, we have an all-time classic! Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead from (1981). Luckily, James discovered an old reel-to-reel with the synopsis on it. So he plays it. Don't worry, we didn't play the Latin parts, so you're "marked safe from being turned into a Deadite" by this episode (we think). In the second half of the show, we discuss (2026) Lee Cronin's The Mummy, which is just as evil and almost as dead. Mike sings again (that should keep the Deadites away). The boys definitely have a good time talking about these two. There are also some good behind-the-scenes tidbits in this one. Want to support and buy some show swag? Check out our store!

Hey Whole Damn Family. All aboard for this episode, making stops in old TV references, Korean action-horror, and more of Mike singing (we're not saying that's a good thing). First up is the Korean classic Train to Busan (2016), which is destined for an American remake soon. After that, we do a spoiler-free version of Director Nia DaCosta's new film 28 Years Later : The Bone Temple (2026), followed by us ruining the whole damn thing. Mike also makes call out to a Korean ruler to join our Patreon and win a shirt...are you him? If so let us know! Want to support and buy some show swag? Check out our store!

It's AV night for the Whole Damn Family. First, it's old-school videotapes as we adjust the tracking on this underrated classic. We say underrated because its Rotten Tomatoes score is crap, and we cannot figure out why. With heavy hitters like Gore Verbinski, Naomi Watts, and makeup FX by Legend Rick Baker, it's (2002) The Ring, which of course is a remake of a J-Horror classic Ringu. We break down a lot of this movie and even talk about Ringu's original inspiration beyond just the novel by Koji Suzuki . Our newer match-up for this video selection is audio only, with Undertone (2026), the new low-budget film released by A24. We get deep into the backward masking and find the hidden messages of this new film directed by newcomer Ian Tuason and starring Nina Kiri from The Handmaid's Tale.

Hey, Whole Damn family! This episode is two hardcore punk rock, bizzaro, movies about relationships and love. Do you like Sid and Nancy or Bonnie and Clyde or Simon and Garfunkle? Then walk down the aisle with us on this one. We got some great behind-the-scenes of both of these movies. Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers from 1994, based on a Tarantino (heavily rewritten) script, learn some wild tales that went into making this movie you may have forgotten about. And then we get into Maggie Gyllenhaal's, The Bride! (2026), yeah, it's tanking at the box office, but it's so worth seeing. This movie deserves more than it got. Mike isn't just saying that because he worked on it. You'll learn what went into recreating the classic monster with a new vision and feel. There are some shoutouts at the end, maybe we yell your name?! For more upcoming Bride makeup FX pics and more!

Hello Family (read that in Ghostface voice). Well, since Scream 7 is currently burning down the box office. We thought it appropriate to pair it with the original (which Mike worked on). That's right, the Wes Craven classic Scream (1996) and Scream 7 (2026) were directed by Screams' original writer and creator, Kevin Williamson. If you're a fan of the series, this is a must-listen! Lots of behind-the-scenes bits and fun trivia. The Stephen King Dark Web even unearthed a promo for Scream, The Franchise game. This may seem like a long episode, but let's face it, there was a lot to scream about. Plus maybe Roger Jackson pops in... Want to support and buy some show swag? Check out our store!
