It's the very 15th episode of Alone and Afraid Podcast!! Did you miss me? Join me as I talk about 2018's "Upgrade" and the recent release starring Patrick Schwarzenegger "Daniel Isn't Real". Listen to me make excuses for my spotty release schedule, review some big films from this year that I missed out on talking about, and my personal take on the term "toxic masculinity" (spoiler: it's stupid and uninformed).

11/21/2019
It's the very 13th episode of Alone and Afraid Podcast!!! Join me as I talk about the Netflix, late October release "Eli", and the 1987 Thanksgiving slasher "Blood Rage"! Hear my not-so-epic rant about the difference between a well written twist and a cheap, sucker punch ending (thank you, Eli), my feelings about drinking milk in public, and my (probably offensive) views about the stark difference in physical attractiveness standards in Hollywood between the 80's and now! Settle in for...

10/14/2019
It's the very 11th episode of Alone and Afraid!!

8/21/2019
It's the very 8th episode of Alone and Afraid! This week join your alone host Chuck as he yammers about the medieval monster movie released earlier this year, "The Headhunter", and deep dives into the fast paced, gore-fest that is "Feast". Also dicussed - why you don't need 100 million dollars to make a good movie, why a little ambiguity in a film is ok, and how little Chuck knows about the movie "Return of the Living Dead". So grab your double barrel, have a shot, and embrace the insanity...

Episode 7 - EVENT HORIZON, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark

8/14/2019
It's the very 7th episode of Alone and Afraid!! We've got a LONG one this week as Chuck rambles to himself for an hour and a half (after claiming to want to shorten episodes, that liar) about horror movies, specifically "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark", which was released this past weekend, and the 1997, scifi/horror classic "Event Horizon". The format is changing a bit, as your alone host will be sparing his sanity and reducing his new movie reviews by one, but in its stead, we get a...

Episode 6 - BAIT, Headcount, Soul to Keep

8/5/2019
It's the very 6th episode of Alone and Afraid! This week, in honor of shark week, Chuck chit-chats with himself about 2012's "Bait", the film where the premise of "sharks in a grocery store" just wasn't quite enough for the writers...so they added 37 other concepts for good measure and SOMEHOW...it worked! He also reviews 2019's "Headcount" and Netflix's "Soul to Keep", and gets very angry and kinda mean talking about one of them. Anyways, this one's pretty fast paced so try to keep up on...

7/29/2019
It's the very 5th Episode of Alone and Afraid!! We made it, guys! It's all gravy from here, right? Anyways, we're going in depth on the 2009 Sam Raimi film "Drag Me to Hell", and reviewing 2019's "Body at Brighton Rock" and "Critters Attack!". Chuck spends a bit too much time swooning over Sam Raimi in this one and suggests that maybe he's somehow smarter than the folks in Hollywood making millions off of remakes and reboots. He also fancies himself a motivational speaker for a few minutes...

Episode 4 - URBAN LEGEND, I Trapped the Devil, Deadtectives

7/24/2019
It's the very 4th episode of Alone and Afraid!! Join your alone host Chuck as he rambles to himself about the 1998 slasher "Urban Legend" and why pop rocks, soda, badly bleached blonde hair, and Momo probably won't kill you. Also discussed are the 2019 releases "Deadtectives" (Shudder) and "I Trapped the Devil" (rent on Amazon). Try not to lose your mind over the lack of production value Chuck possesses which is very clearly evident in this installment, and you might just enjoy this episode...
