115. Juan López Moctezuma’s Alucarda (1977)

8/31/2025
Two slim, lithe, youthful, excitable, exuberant, perky, naked, lesbian, erotic, sexy, hot, teen, shrill, possessed nuns have to figure out what kind of a movie they're supposed to be in between bouts of directionless shrieking, tit-play, and unleashing the full bush. It's one of the originals of nunsploitation, it's very nearly unbearable to watch, and John and Josh both loved it, as did Guillermo del Toro, so we made fun of him for having bad taste. That's the level of quality you've come to demand of Loathsome Things: The Only Horror Movie Podcast named after a line in a poem that has nothing to do with poetry.

114. Phillipe Mora’s Howling II: ... Your Sister Is a Werewolf (1985)

8/17/2025
What does Planet of the Apes and a Van Helsing analog traveling to Transylvania have in common with titanium orgy werewolves and bad mod music? Apparently, it's Sybil Danning getting topless only once, and yet also somehow 18 times. That doesn't make sense, and yet you'll understand exactly what that means when you tune in to this episode of Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast that continues to compare nipples to pizza toppings out of solidarity with the ladies.

113. James Gunn’s Slither (2006)

8/3/2025
The epitome of 21st century takes on 20th century _ from space movies, this James Gunn classic references Henelotter, Tremors, The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China, The Toxic Avenger, Goosebumps, Alien, Predator, Society, Shivers, and possibly even Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The make-up and practical effects pair perfectly with 2006's digital effects and the over-the-ham acting of Nathan Fillion, Elizabeth Banks, Michael Rooker, and Gregg Henry. This one will fill you up to bursting but still leave you hungry for more!

111. Kourtney Roy’s Kryptic (2024)

7/6/2025
At the intersection of feminism and cryptozoology, you'll find many a shattered and sympathetic character, along with more than your typical number of meta-physical portals to other realities and men trying to keep you from realizing your inner power. There's also an abundance of white, murky slime and confusingly sensual canals. Learn the deepest secrets of womanhood while listening to two overweight bearded men sigh and wheeze on this most liberal agenda'd episode of Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast that believes women.

110. Harry Bromley Davenport's Xtro (1982)

6/22/2025
It's gory, it's slimy, it's nasty, it's transgressive, it's not E.T., not Alien, not The Brood, but also not a lot of movies that came after it. What is it? It's Xtro and the latest episode of Loathsome Things: The Worst Podcast about Horror Movies!

109. Diego Rocha's Writers Retreat

6/8/2025
For our next creative writing exercise, we're going to explore a social occasion you're familiar with. Think of a time you spent with other people where you made yourself or were made emotionally vulnerable, then launch away from the factuality of that occasion, and instead pilot it towards the style of storytelling you've been most interested in lately and stretch the truth you remember with the truth you're trying to achieve. It's another episode of Loathsome Things: a podcast for emerging writers and authors to find their voice, find themselves, and find greater success in the literary world.

108. Julian Roffman's The Mask (1961)

5/25/2025
This time-a-rooski, we reviewed the first film to be shot in Raymond Spottiswoode's "Depth Dimension" 3-D. It's a nutty little Canadian flick about that new-fangled "psychiatry" my loved ones won't stop going on about, and boy does this movie display a firm grasp over what that is! What we have here is a visual effects buffet sandwiched between long bouts of really crap 1961 people having terrible movie scenes together. This one is totally worth your time, so tune in to Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast for scaredy cats like you and your cat to listen to together in the dark instead of facing your inner demons!

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.

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!

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!"
