This week on Slashers Podcast, the gang dives into Colin Minihan’s 2016 indie horror gem It Stains the Sands Red. Ade, Mikey and Lance unpack this desert-set zombie thriller that flips the genre on its head, trading jump scares for a slow-burn character study. The hosts discuss the film’s gritty survival premise: a stranded woman, Molly, stalked through the barren Nevada desert by a relentless, lumbering zombie. What starts as a tense cat-and-mouse chase becomes something much deeper, as the film explores grief, addiction, trauma, and unexpected companionship—even with the undead. Along the way, the crew debates how the stripped-down setting, dark humor, and Brittany Allen’s powerhouse performance elevate the film beyond typical zombie fare. They also tackle the movie’s divisive ending, its unique take on humanizing a monster, and where it sits in the mid-2010s wave of indie horror. Whether you’re here for survival horror, character-driven storytelling, or just want to hear the Slashers gang argue about how long they’d last being chased across the desert, this episode delivers laughs, insights, and plenty of gore-soaked fun.

Hey Goons! This week on our Patreon Pics, Kevin helped us kick off August with his suggestion, the ever polarizing and fatally fantastic Freddy Vs Jason!!! Before we get into the film, we discuss a little bit of Houston Horror Film Fest, Greg Nicotero’s involvement in an Angry Orchard Jason Voorhees spotting, and what Niecy Nash and Glenn Close are up to these days. Then we segue into Freddy Vs Jason— a film we all anticipated since Jason Goes to Hell. A lot of people had comments on this back in the day, but I do believe it’s developed a cult following since then, and even if you didn’t enjoy it, it still has its merits. Join us as we dive into Robert Englund’s last appearance as Freddy in FILM, why Robert Yu has issues with Katharine Isabelle, and all the chisme and fun in between. This is an early 2000’s time capsule, and we are happy to run down that twisted memory lane (while acknowledging its problems and celebrating its upsides). Thanks for this pick, Kevin, we had a lot of fun going back! Don't forget to rate, review, and subscribe to Slashers Podcast for more deep dives into cult horror films!

Slashers Podcast – I STILL Know What You Did Last Summer... Because I Never Shut Up About It This week on Slashers Podcast, things get personal as mega-fan and full time HOTTIE Mikey takes the reins for a special deep dive into the new I Know What You Did Last Summer movie! Joined by Ade and Lance, Mikey finally gets his moment in the sun—or should we say foggy dock—as he gushes, gripes, and gleefully guides us through the latest installment in the iconic slasher franchise. Does the new film honor the legacy of Julie James? Is the Fisherman still a formidable figure of fear? And most importantly... does Jennifer Love Hewitt step it up from the original? From nostalgic callbacks and new twists to brutal kills and Gen Z updates, this episode is packed with obsessive detail, passionate defense of the original two flicks, and the ultimate question: did this sequel/reboot/legacyquel actually hook us? Whether you're a longtime fan or just wondering what all the Love Hewitt hype is about, this longer-than-usual episode is a love letter to 90s slashers, teen screams, and Mikey’s forever scream queen.

🎙️ Slashers Podcast: "The Boy Behind the Door" (2020) Review – Patreon Pick for Leslie! 🎙️ This one’s for you, Leslie! On this special Patreon-Pick episode of Slashers Podcast, Mikey, Ade, and Lance take a harrowing trip into the dark and suspenseful world of The Boy Behind the Door (2020). This indie horror thriller pulls no punches as it follows two young boys trapped in a terrifying child abduction scenario, and the gut-wrenching lengths they go to in order to survive. We break down the intense performances, especially from the young leads, the claustrophobic atmosphere, and the brutal emotional toll this film takes—on both its characters and its viewers. Plus, we explore how the film taps into real-world fears and flips genre expectations. Expect plenty of heartfelt discussion, dark humor, and our signature tangents—including how The Boy Behind the Door stacks up against other kid-centric horror films, and what we’d do if we were stuck in a twisted house of horrors (spoiler: not cry as much). All that and more, just for you, Leslie. Thank you for being such a loyal member of our spooky little family. You truly slash!

Welcome back to another Patreon Pick this July, Goons! Today, we are talking A24's Bring Her Back at the request of our long time Patreon member and good friend, Cam!

Happy July! Summers hot and our Patreon members are HOTTER This month we are reviewing films requested by our lovely Patreon members. The Slashers crew—Mikey, Ade, and Lance—delve into Danny Boyle’s high-stakes sequel, 28 Years Later (by request of GUNN). Picking up decades after the original outbreak, the film brings fresh emotional depth through Spike, a 12-year-old survivor from a quarantined island. The hosts explore how this new perspective enriches the Rage-verse, praise the evolution of the infected (especially the chilling “Alpha” variants), and laud standout performances from Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and newcomer Alfie Williams. They break down Boyle and Garland’s signature cinematography and eerie score by Young Fathers, noting immersive soundscapes and gritty visual aesthetics. While they celebrate the film’s emotional core and inventive creature design, they also critique tonal shifts—especially in the climactic stretches, which swing between brutal horror and surreal camp.
