Blood and Black Rum Podcast - A Cult Film / Horror Podcast

Since The First Omen is currently terrorizing theaters, we thought it would be a good time to do the first Omen, aka The Omen 1976 with Gregory Peck as a father finding out his adopted son may just be the Antichrist. Here we talk about the film's lasting effects, the similarities and differences to The Exorcist, the various outfits of Robert Thorn, and even a connection to Halloween 6? We're also drinking Hoof Hearted Brewing's Duke of Ripstick Super Party Pale Ale! Chapters Thanks to daub_audio for our new opening theme. Please subscribe and review on your podcast app of choice.

We've been fans of Wes Anderson for some time, so we thought we were about due for a new episode on his most latest output, Asteroid City. Here we talk about how the film further expands the border of Wes Anderson-isms, being a natural extension of The French Dispatch, the meta-contextual elements, the massive cast, and the bloat that sometimes creeps up in Anderson's most recent films. We're also drinking Ommegang's Farm Fresh Ale, Honey Conditioned! Approximate timeline 0:00-10:00 Intro 10:00-16:00 Beer talk 16:00-end Asteroid City --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/support

Happy St. Patrick's Day! We're continuing our journey through the Leprechaun series with a look at the WWE Studios reboot Leprechaun: Origins starring Hornswoggle as the titular horror character. The biggest thing about this movie is the fact that it is so generic and unmemorable, and we struggle to put into words just how humdrum the whole thing is. We're also drinking Sloop Brewing Co.'s (No) Green Beer NEIPA! Approximate timeline 0:00-10:00 Intro 10:00-17:00 Beer talk 17:00-end Leprechaun: Origins Next up: Asteroid City --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/support

With all the success of Helldivers 2, we thought it would be appropriate to finally cover Paul Verhoeven's Starship Troopers on our show. This has all of the things you've come to know from the director: parodical elements, propaganda pieces, ultragore, and a healthy satirical take on fascism. We talk about all of this plus the Dina Meyer/Costas Mandylor connection! We're also drinking Sierra Nevada's new 19.2 oz Cosmic Little Thing double hazy IPA. Approximate timeline 0:00-10:00 Intro 10:00-20:00 Beer talk 20:00-end Starship Troopers --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/support

Happy Black History Month! We of course wanted to celebrate this occasion with another blaxploitation movie since we haven't done all that many on the show. Here, we take on Foxy Brown, released one year after Pam Grier's classic Coffy and featuring a lot of the same themes. We talk about the more exploitative elements in the film, the zany inclusion of certain scenes, and of course the sultry Pam performance. We're also drinking Brooklyn Brewing's collaboration with Four Roses Distilling, the Black Ops Imperial Barrel Aged Stout. Approximate timeline 0:00-12:00 Intro 12:00-20:00 Beer talk 20:00-end Foxy Brown --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/support

17 years after its release, Ryne finally gets to see the movie that spawned one catchphrase about milkshakes. We talk about this fantastic picture from Paul Thomas Anderson, including the overall throughlines of the film including capitalism and religion, the score, put on our best Daniel Day-Lewis impressions, and a lot more. We're rounding out Dry January with Guinness 0, their non-alcoholic beer that actually is not 0%. Approximate timeline 0:00-11:00 Intro 11:00-20:00 Beer talk 20:00-end There Will Be Blood Thanks for listening, and if possible, leave us a review on your podcast app of choice!

We knew we wanted to do a spaghetti western, but after a misfire - we picked a movie we already did, and we'll explain - we decided on the originator of all of those Django westerns. Here we talk about Franco Nero as the protagonist, the machine gun, how this relates to A Fistful of Dollars and Django the Bastard, and of course, Maria! We're also drinking Industrial Arts' Safety Glasses, a non-alcoholic IPA for Dry January.

Welcome to 2024. For our first episode of the new year, we're taking on familial dysfunction and wrestling in A24's The Iron Claw, based on the lives of the Von Erich brothers. We talk about the film's historical accuracy, the depiction of wrestling, Ric Flair woos, and a whole lot more. We're also drinking Athletic Brewing Company's Wit's End belgian-style wit - the first non-alcoholic brew on the show!

Sorry for the late episode due to the holidays, but we're finishing our Chaberting Gifts series for this holiday season with a look at the generically winter-themed Winter in Vail starring Lacey Chabert as... an event planner again. Yes, we've covered similar movies in the Hallmark output this season, and we discuss all of the great things that make this movie tick including the lack of touching, the Strudelfest shenanigans, and a whole lot more. We're also drinking Beer Tree Brewing's Pils by a Billion Pilsner to celebrate the Buffalo Bills and football Sunday. Approximate timeline 0:00-12:00 Intro 12:00-20:00 Beer talk 20:00-end Winter in Vail We'll be back throughout 2024 with new episodes and going back to a biweekly schedule for the time being.

For our last episode before Christmas, we're taking on the unicorn of Lacey Chabert Christmas Hallmark movies: one that has a child's talent show, romance, and MARIAH CAREY! That's right - in 2015 the Queen of Christmas herself directed and "starred" in this Hallmark movie about a little girl writing the song "Oh Santa!" for her talent show performance. It's about as hilarious as you'd expect, and we talk about Mariah's acting, the limited Christmas hijinks, and of course the Folgers Coffee shining performance. We're also drinking Founders' Porter! Approximate timeline 0:00-10:00 Intro 10:00-17:00 Beer talk 17:00-end A Christmas Melody Next up: we end Chaberting Gifts for this holiday season with a winter-themed movie. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/support

We continue our Lacey Chabert Christmas Hallmark movie journey with Christmas at Castle Hart, which this time transports us to Ireland for a meet-cute between Lacey's event planner character and an earl of Ireland! We talk about the CGI decorations, the lack of romance yet again, the foibles and conflict that Lacey faces, and a whole lot more. We're also drinking Lone Pine Brewing's Holy Donut! Dark Chocolate Peppermint stout. Approximate timeline 0:00-12:00 Intro 12:00-20:00 Beer talk 20:00-end Christmas at Castle Hart Next up, our Chaberting Gifts finale! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/support

On our second episode of Chaberting Gifts, we take a look at 2022's Haul Out the Holly, a shameless rip of Christmas with the Kranks that sees Lacey Chabert heading home for the holidays only to butt heads with her parents' HOA. This is a bizarre Christmas tale that is extremely light on romance, while at the same time offering a weird theme that maybe, just maybe you'll start to like your overbearing HOA if you just get used to it. We talk about all of this and more on this special Christmas episode. We're also drinking Ommegang's OMG Series Everything Naughty white chocolate blonde stout! Approximate timeline 0:00-10:00 Intro 10:00-20:00 Beer talk 20:00-end Haul Out the Holly More Chabert Hallmark movies coming next! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/support

Our Christmas season is going to be a little different this year; that's because we're bringing you a holiday full of Lacey Chabert in Hallmark Christmas movies. We start off by visiting Roma in Christmas in Rome, a yuletide tale of a travel agent meet-cuting with a property mogul hoping to land a big acquisition in Rome. We assess the romance, the sightseeing, the Christmas festivities, and the presence of Franco Nero (!?). We're also drinking Druthers Brewing's Toys for Toga Winter Ale! Approximate timeline 0:00-12:00 Intro 12:00-20:00 Beer talk 20:00-end Christmas in Rome Chaberting Gifts continues all Christmas season! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/support

Happy Thanksgiving! As a special release on Thanksgiving Day, we're bringing you an episode on Eli Roth's new film Thanksgiving, influenced by his own trailer for the Grindhouse films in 2007. We talk about making a feature-length film out of short schlock, the gory details, whether these characters are even relatable, and a whole lot more in this special Turkey Day feast. Enjoy, and turn it on for the family at the dinner table! We're also drinking Genesee Brewing's Citrus Pils.

It's serendipitous that as we decided to finally do our episode on Mean Girls, Walmart released a Black Friday ad getting (most of) the gang back together, as well as an announcement for a new movie based on the musical in 2024. While we're just one year early from the film's 20th anniversary, we decided the time is nigh - we have a lot of fun covering this deeply nostalgic movie for millenials, talking about how it holds up in terms of school representation, true bullying, and a whole lot more. Also, we've got KCBC's Mean Squirrels DDH Hazy IPA to complete the tie-ins! Approximate timeline 0:00-10:00 Intro 10:00-21:00 Beer talk 21:00-end Mean Girls We'll be back in a couple weeks with Eli Roth's Thanksgiving! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/support

We're ending our Halloween season with a look at the nostalgia-driven Goosebumps movie from 2015, which finds R.L. Stine's classic monsters coming to life thanks to his magical writing. We talk about the use of more juvenile humor, the interesting monster choices, the generic Hallmark-esque writing of teen characters, and a whole lot more. We're also drinking Sloop Brewing's Liquid Sorcery NEIPA. Approximate timeline 0:00-12:00 Intro 12:00-23:00 Beer talk 23:00-end Goosebumps The Halloween season comes to a close, but we'll be back in 2 weeks with a lead-in to the holiday season with Mean Girls! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/support

While The Exorcist: Believer is not technically a Halloween film, it is an annual tradition to eviscerate a David Gordon Green film, so it's certainly appropriate for the season. Here we talk about the extremely mediocre requel to The Exorcist, which manages to have double the amount of possessed kids and half the scares and fun. We talk about the movie's excruciating pacing, the lack of any suspense, the omnipresence of nurses, and a lot more on this raucous episode. We're also drinking Leinenkugel's Red Lager! Approximate timeline 0:00-15:00 Intro 15:00-25:00 Beer talk 25:00-end The Exorcist: Believer Next and last episode of Halloweenies II: a secret. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/support

Nostalgia is a strange beast, and we take on Hocus Pocus, one of Halloween's most iconic films, in an attempt to discuss both the reasons why it might be considered a classic as well as whether it truly should be. Both of us have a middling view of the movie, noting that it has merit but also makes a number of missteps. Have a listen and see if you agree! We're also drinking KCBC's Zoktoberfest and Shadow Crypt Festbier!

We have previously covered every film in the Saw series as part of a Halloween season and each subsequent release, and Saw X is no different; however, the more surprising thing about this new film in the franchise is that it's one of the best ones in recent memory! While the film still has its issues - ones we readily point out throughout this episode - we acknowledge that the return to simplicity by going back to a time period between the first and second Saw movies is a welcome addition to the series. We talk about the traps (of course), Tobin Bell in a much more prevalent role, the Mexico City setting, and a whole lot more on this extended episode. We're also drinking 1911's Double Double Toil and Trouble Candy Corn Cider!

No, we're not talking about the anthology film; this one's the heavy metal banger from 1986, featuring a killer able to come through stereo systems using his satanic backwards record to wreak havoc on a teen during Halloween. We talk about the film's relative lack of Halloween atmosphere, which feels more like an afterthought; we also marvel at the new call waiting technology, rag on the "teens" of this high school, and speculate where parents in Halloween movies go for their parties. We're also drinking Paulaner's Oktoberfest Bier.
