104. Tony Randel's Ticks (1993)
3/30/2025
Seth Green and Alfonso Ribeiro co-star in this plasma-inhaling infestation of a boy scout summer flashback for Josh! That's right, it's Ticks and it's Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast edited by an guy who can't setup his microphone with even a modicum of competency! Also, John is here and he sounds great the whole time. Kisses.

103 J. Michael Muro's Street Trash (1987)
3/16/2025
It's a new episode of Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast not fit for human consumption, bringing you a filthy, degenerate pile of frothy, unhygienic movie slime that makes us giggle while we squirm. Splatter all ye who enter Flatbush to watch Street Trash!

102. Peter Sykes’ To the Devil a Daughter (1976)
3/2/2025
A rare entry to our dislustrious "DO NOT WATCH" list, this penultimate Hammer film has a cool demon puppet, great Christopher Lee face stuff, a top-notch crucifix, and some stuff I won't type because that's not the type of searches we want to be a result for. It's bad. Do yourself a favor by just listening to us and not watching the movie!

101. John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982)
2/16/2025
You can't get much more Loathsome than The Thing, itself. You've got action, comedy, explosions, the greatest practical monster effects showcase, and the very most good boy in movie history. Go watch the movie again, it's totally worth it!

100. Robin Hardy’s The Wicker Man (1973)
2/2/2025

099. Andrew van den Houton's Offspring (2009)

Sorry about the previous audio version. How's this?

99. Andrew van den Houten’s Offspring (2009)
1/19/2025
Drink a light beer every time John or Josh references the punklish 90s band which lacks in self esteem while recounting the tale of the film that kicked off The Woman trilogy and became a bit of a scarce watch until Arrow did the cool thing they do and remastered it for a 4k re-release. And while you're at it, listen to us heap praise upon the cult film distribution and streaming company, possibly even more so than for this movie. We're dirty, we're crass, we'll chop off and eat a human ass, Loathsome Things, Loathsome Things: The Last Horror Movie Podcast on the Left.

98. David Cronenberg's The Dead Zone (1983)
1/5/2025
A Stephen King novel adapted for the screen, directed by David Cronenberg, and with Christopher Walken playing the main character. Surely this is a recipe for an out-of-this-world amazing horror cinema experience... right? Johnny Walken Black wakes up with low-grade molestation powers and angles his career toward spending alone time with children while folks at the highest levels of society disregard his scams, or maybe he can see the future when people will die... or sometimes the past when someone who was thought dead didn't die? It doesn't matter, what matters is that I'm getting something, someone important to you wants to tell you something. Do these words mean anything to you? "Loathsome Things: A Podcast You Want to donate large sums of money to so you can finally know what late relative really thought of you!"
Josh woke up from a lifelong Windows-user coma and suddenly had the ability to limp along using Linux! Will it impact the audio quality of this episode? Wait and see! And by "wait and see" I mean "make haste and listen now!"

97. Kuei Chih Hung's Corpse Mania (1981)
12/22/2024
A Shaw Brothers kung-fu giallo from the unsung king of Hong Kong cult films. Let the bodies coat with worms! It's Loathsome Things: A podcast about the horror movies your mom wouldn't be happy to find you watching!
Duration:01:12:39
96. Lucio Fulci's The Beyond (1981)
12/8/2024
Charmingly outdated-by-1981-standards practical effects, wild borrowings from the best of recent and distant masterpieces of influence, and maybe a pinch of the ol' booger sugar informed this revered Italian director's take on the supernatural something set in 1980 New Orleans for reasons not fathomable, but from a fathomableness of The Beyond! That's right, the year was 2024, the medium was a podcast, and the rss feed was Loathsome Things: A podcast for horror movie fans who don't expect too much from their podcasts!
Duration:01:14:04
95. David Moreau's MadS (2024)
11/24/2024
Welcome to the Neo-French Extremity? New French Post-Extremity? Who can say? It's a really rad zombie movie about youthful, drug-fueled sex and paranoia, poor parenting, and a very strange relationship with authority... or is it? Enter one of the top 5 greatest zombie movies of all time. Possibly THE greatest? I don't know. It's Loathsome Things: a high production value storytelling podcast known to cause constipation and diarrhea in child and dogs under 10 years of age.
Duration:01:05:14
94. Brian De Palma's Sisters (1972)
11/10/2024
Not actually about Brian De Palma's female siblings, this film is instead about Brian De Palma weird, hazy, perhaps deeply subconscious feelings about white women, their role in society, their capabilities as functional humans, and the role that black men play in his feelings. Also, it's a Hitchcockian something-or-other in a decidedly pre-masterpiece phase of Brian's directorial development. Call it De Palchcockian. Anyway, it's actually a pretty enjoyable flick most of the time, and warms our very specific cockles due to its precursoriness to Basket Case, a film especially beloved by Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast you can turn to for sound financial and lifestyle expertise.

93. Benjamin Barfoot's Daddy's Head (2024)
10/27/2024
Is it folk horror? Is it Babadookie? Is it sci-fi? We're not really sure from whence this sub-step monster was spawned, but we know we mostly liked it with a few quabbles. How long can we spend discussing the quabbles you ask? Well, you're in luck, because you're about to find out while listening to this thoughtful and un-biased think piece about the 2024 horror film Daddy's Head nowhere else but here on Loathsome Things: the best podcast to listen to while going to sleep if you're an idiot.

92. Pascal Laugier's Martyrs (2008)
10/13/2024
New? Not so much. French? Absolue! Extremity? Not for long. Join us as we explore the surprising twists and turns of this horror masterpiece directed by a real piece of work. That's right, it's Pascal Laugier's 2008 masterpiece: Martyrs. Are we all victims, monsters, or dancers? You be the judge, then witness your own guilt... or something. Bourgeoisie!

91. Osgood Perkins' Longlegs (2024)
9/29/2024
Do we mention Nicolas Cage? Did we find out that the Devil makes a variety of cameos in this movie before we recorded this episode? Are we more giddy with movie-watching glee than we are actually making a podcast? Find out the answers in this Satanic episode of Loathsome Things: the Horror Movie Podcast your mom wouldn't let you listen to, but then you secretly did and who knows what will happen because of it.
Duration:01:01:53
90. Sean King O'Grady's We Need to Do Something (2021)
9/15/2024
We watched a cool little indie flick about a family stuck in their bathroom during an apocalypse, and somewhere along the way we lost the full entirety of our cool. Was it before we even started recording? You tell us after listening to this high-quality film review featuring bleeding-edge audio editing and extremely professional vocal skills. It's Loathsome Things: The Horror Movie Podcast you mistakenly chose as the only podcast you could bring with you to a desert island!

87. Rodrigo Aragão's Dark Sea (2013)
8/4/2024
This film is a strong recommend from us. Enjoy a uniquely splatterific experience!
Rodrigo Aragão is from Espirito Santo, Brazil. His father was a magician and cinema owner. Rodrigo was influenced by The Empire Strikes Back and Evil Dead. He worked as a make-up effects artist in the 90s until he started with his own horror play, Mausoleum, and then started directing short films, then premiered his first feature film, Mud Zombies, in 2008. He just became one of our favorite gory movie directors, thanks to this gem.
