This one is...
2021-04-192h 24Kill Streak60. Phantasm (1979)The BOOOOOOOYS get loose with this twisty-turny horror/sci-fi classic! Don Coscarelli's first foray into horror movies is a lot of things, but straightforward it ain't. It looks great, it sounds great, it oozes charm and creativity, and it's weird AF. What's not to love?

2021-04-052h 33Kill Streak57. Prometheus (2012)Ok, let's get something clear right out of the gate: we know Noomi Rapace rhymes with "gloomy the boss" AND that it's Logan MARSHALL-Green, not Logan MICHAEL-Green. OK?! Don't @ us. Alright, glad we got that out of the way. This week on the pod, it's "Prometheus," which prompts some of life's big existential questions, like why in the hell would a biologist take his helmet off after 20 minutes on the surface of a foreign planet and then try to pet an alien penis snake that's clearly displaying a defensive posture?

2021-03-222h 25Kill Streak55. Alien 3 (1992)Tune in this week to hear our hot takes on one of the most infamous director vs. studio shitshows in all of horrordom, "Alien 3." Is this the worst Alien movie? Probably not! Is this the worst Fincher movie? The answer to that probably depends on your stomach for Brad Pitt as an old man baby hijinks! Is this a weird, fucked up, interesting to think and talk about movie? Definitely! After our breakdown, stick around to hear about the brand new "Kill Streak Hall of Shame," and how you can help decide who gets inducted!
2021-03-162h 15Kill Streak54. Aliens (1986)"This time, it's plural." With this unforgettable catchphrase, James Cameron and his collaborators gave birth to the archetypal action blockbuster, and paved the way forward for the highest grossing horror franchise of all time.

Listen along with us and we take you behind the scenes of the biggest sci-fi/horror/action extravaganza ever made, as well as into the dark recesses of Eric's perverted mind. Then after the movie, we do a quick "Chop Quiz" of the 10 highest grossing horror series, Family Feud-style.

And it's this week's movie on the ol' Kill Streak pod, baybeeee! This is one of the only seventeen or eighteen places to hear two unapologetic fanboys worship at the altar of Scott, Giger, and O'Bannon.

Twenty four years after the release of the iconic original The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, New Line got their hands on the franchise license and decided to take a crack at turning power tool enthusiast Leatherface into the next Freddy Krueger. Did this gambit pay off with a slice of prime horror mayhem and a critical and box-office revival? Or did it result in naught but a pile of scrap meat, destined for canned army rations and the Purina factory? There are only two ways to...

We talk about what makes it so great, and why no one should make a movie like this again. Price also misidentifies the film as being "almost 40 years old" multiple times because he still wants to believe it's the aughts and he's in his 20s. Also, some great listener questions and comments, and after the movie, "Staff Picks: Dead by Dawn."

You know it's famous, but the real question is, "is it good?" You know how to find out: listen to the pod!! We are podcasting children of the night, and oh what music we make!

2020-12-071h 41Kill Streak41. The Gingerdead Man (2005)Alright everybody, here at Kill Streak we're big enough to admit our mistakes, and listen, we fucked up. It turns out this isn't a holiday themed movie, AT ALL, and in fact it is barely a movie, period. "The Gingerdead Man" is in fact an exercise in doing the absolute bare minimum required to skate by. But that's not what we here at Kill Streak HQ are gonna do. No ma'am!

In this century, horror remakes are a dime a dozen but they're usually worth less than that. Does the Tapert/Raimi/Campbell produced remake/reboot of the Evil Dead series rise above its brethren? Or does this relentless gorefest belong in the depths of hell with the rest of its hot trash cousins? The only way to find out is to listen to this episode or to politely ask someone else who has!

Sure, it's got a 33% on Rotten Tomatoes, but is it really that bad? You'll have to listen along to find out. One thing is for sure, it definitely came out at the height of popularity for "Mad Men"! After the movie, we indulge our inner trick-or-treaters and taste test some of last week's top candy picks.

2020-10-0151 minKill Streak30. Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning (2004)This week we tackle the third and final film in the Ginger Snaps trilogy! In this installment, the Fitzgerald sisters pull a "Back To The Future III" and give us some 19th century action (or general lack thereof). Can this trip to the Canadian frontier resurrect the brooding, sexy, witty vibes of the first film? Can the flirtations of Ginger and "The Hunter" match the smoldering chemistry of Christopher Lloyd and Ted Danson's wife? Will ZZ Top make a cameo appearance as a not-quite-period-appropriate band? All the answers and more lie within! Also, the voice of Kill Streak, Sir...
2020-09-281h 38Kill Streak29. Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed (2004)This week we're back with the second installment of the Ginger Snaps series. First one wasn't dark enough for you?

2020-09-1045 minKill Streak26. Deep Blue Sea 3 (2020)This week on the pod, Kill Streak heads to the theaters! Just kidding, no one should be going to the theaters because of the uncontrolled pandemic threatening the nation for the seventh consecutive month. We did, however, watch a brand new release!! It's...fine? It definitely has sharks and genetic engineering and questionable human decision making. We'll walk you through it in our newly rerecorded plot recap necessitated by some technical difficulties on Price's end. Then stick around for a brand new segment that went pretty well, all things considered!
2020-09-071h 52Kill Streak25. Deep Blue Sea 2 (2018)You thought you had seen the deepest and bluest the sea had to offer?? Well you were wrong! This week things get deeper, bluer, and much much cheaper as we wade into the murky waters of the SyFy original "Deep Blue Sea 2." This episode is gonna answer all the big questions we know you'll have because you almost definitely didn't watch this one along with us. Will big pharma once again monkey with the genetic code of killer sharks? How similar is the best CGI money could buy in 1999 to the cheapest available CGI of 2018?? Will you recognize anyone...
2020-08-311h 45Kill Streak24. Deep Blue Sea (1999)Price and Eric's hats are like shark fins in this wet and wild episode. This movie has it all: scientists playing God, sharks sneaking up on people in hallways, a wisecracking parrot...and perhaps the greatest end credits song of all time? Also, the boys compete in a shark movie trivia extravaganza, and the winners of the Horror Villain Tag Teams are announced.

2020-08-032h 23Kill Streak18. Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)Start spreading the news...this movie blows! Batten down the hatches, as Eric and Price brave the stormy seas of the Pacific Northwest in this laughable shitshow of a motion picture that has exactly one scene shot in NYC. Then stick around for some ‘Staff Picks’ as the boys recommend some better ways to get that New York fix you’ll surely be craving after this stinker.
2020-07-302h 21Kill Streak17. Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (1988)Buckle up for a telekinetic rollercoaster of an episode! If Jason vs. Carrie sounds like one hell of an elevator pitch, then this might be the Friday film for you. Orrrrr...you might hate it!

Then the boys keep the mind over matter thread going with a Mt. Rushgore of telekinesis!

In this episode, Eric and Price walk the audience through one of the most maligned entries in the entire series.

Then afterwards, the boys catalog their Top 5 horror movie masks!!
2020-07-202h 02Kill Streak14. Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984)Wow, would you look at that...we're done with the Friday the 13th series!

Join us in the year 1980 for the one that started it all!

Then a rousing round of "Mt. Rushgore: Witch Movies," and finally, the unveiling of our next franchise. And let me tell you, constant listener, IT'S A BIG ONE!
2020-07-021h 06Kill Streak9. Blair Witch (2016)Beware, for this is the most cursed episode in annals of Kill Streak lore! Twice derailed by recording failures and haunted by recurring microphone bumping, is this episode marked by the Blair Witch herself? Eric and Price have never disagreed so much on a single film so much, perhaps one of them is possessed by the spirit of Elly Kedward!! Also, the boys play a rousing round of 'Marry, Fuck, Kill: Which Witch? Edition' and it's almost as regrettable as that sounds. You'll have to listen to believe it!
2020-06-292h 00Kill StreakBonus Episode 1: Listener Questions!On this week's very special episode, Eric and Price start by shooting the shit about what they've been watching and playing outside the pod. Includes such classics as...Kevin Bacon and trophy wives! Why the Dark Universe sucks! Exploitation, poison bum wine, melting hobos, and trigger warnings!

2020-06-251h 41Kill Streak8. Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 (2000)On this week’s episode we do a deep dive on goth rights with the Blair Witch sequel that never should’ve been. It’s chock full of half-assed orgies, death owls, and Marilyn Manson B-sides. Then, a cherry on top with an all new installment of “Colon Exam.” Enjoy!
2020-06-221h 37Kill Streak7. The Blair Witch Project (1999)This week Eric and Price launch into a brand new franchise with "The Blair Witch Project." Price has never seen it before!

2020-06-1154 minKill Streak5. Return of the Living Dead: Rave to the Grave (2005)This week features the final film in the ROTLD series and a fresh Romanian hell for all to enjoy. Eric and Price dissect this EDM themed zom-com (which curiously lacks much actual EDM) and ask the big questions, like "why don't any of these characters remember the events of the previous film, in which they starred?" Then the boys subject each other to a Chop Quiz, which like any good horror flick, quickly gets messy...
2020-06-081h 33Kill Streak4. Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis (2005)After a 12 year layoff, the ROTLD series is BACK, BABY! Was the wait worth it for "Necropolis?" In a word, no! No it was not! Eric and Price follow the franchise as it makes a big move to Romania and abandons 90% of the series' mythology. On the plus side, there is 100% more motocross and buttrock. Then after the recap, the boys introduce their newest segment, engaging in a rousing round of "Colon Exam!"
2020-06-041h 55Kill Streak3. Return of the Living Dead 3 (1993)Things take a turn for the darker in the third installment of the Return of the Living Dead series. If you're feeling nostalgic for the halcyon days of the early 90's, when everything was all sunshine, lollipops, and body modification, then this is the flick for you! It's got everything you could ask for: S&M zombies, star-crossed lovers, and literal nine inch nails. Then to wrap things up, Price and Eric nominate their picks for the "Mt. Rushgore" of body horror directors.
2020-06-011h 26Kill Streak2. Return of the Living Dead Part II (1988)Join Eric and Price as they tackle the misbegotten second film in the ROTLD franchise! There's a chintzy all-synth score, innumerable pointless changes of location, a moonwalking Thriller zombie, and a sassy southern talking zombie head that just won't quit. Why oh why won't it quit? Then the guys wrap things up with the first installment of "Staff Picks" where they put on their video store name tags and recommend some superior alternatives to rent. So fire it up and take a listen, and while you're at it, get that damn screwdriver OUT OF MY HEAD!
2020-05-281h 10Kill Streak1. Return of the Living Dead (1985)Welcome to the inaugural episode of Kill Streak, the horror movie podcast about the franchises that just won't stay dead! In Episode One, the guys jump head first in the cult favorite "Return of the Living Dead" series, starting with the Dan O'Bannon-directed original. There are thrills, chills, spills, rabid weasels, and wait, what's that?! Trash is taking her clothes off again!
2020-05-251h 24Kill StreakEpisode Zero - Kill Streak Trailer!!!We're positively chuffed to introduce you to Kill Streak, a weekly podcast where we pick a horror movie franchise, and then every episode covers an entry in that series.
