In Defense of A Serbian Film
In 2010, first-time director Srđan Spasojević unleashed his debut feature onto the world.

Color Me Blood Red (1965 H.G. Lewis Cult Classic)
Color Me Blood Red is the third film in cult director H.G. Lewis' "Blood Trilogy," which began with Blood Feast and continued with 2,000 Maniacs. How does it measure up to the others in the series? In Lewis' oeuvre, overall? Jeff and Lucas examine this well-loved cult classic. We all know blood doesn't look like it does in these movies, and guess what? So did Lewis! It's an aesthetic. How much was he influenced by EC Comics? And in a callback to our Bloodsucking Freaks episode, we finally discuss the history of the Grand Guignol.

Lucas is much kinder to this one than Jeff is, but they both agree: the music by John Hodian is excellent.

Class of Nuke 'Em High 3 and Our Favorite Horror Franchises
Class of Nuke 'Em High 2 is a fun, over-the-top slice of 90s cinema. Can the same be said for Class of Nuke 'Em High 3: The Good, the Bad, and the Subhumanoid? Plus, Jeff Burk and Lucas Mangum talk all about horror franchises, the place of the Nuke 'Em High films in that canon, our favorite series, Halloween Kills, Final Destination and Saw, the campy brilliance of David R. Ellis, 15 Minutes of Shame, and Man, Fuck This House by indie horror author extraordinaire Brian Asman.

The Lucio Fulci Special
In 2001, five years after Italian director Lucio Fulci passed into the great beyond, Troma Entertainment picked up the distribution rights for the Godfather of Gore's low-budget dystopian sci-fi flick The New Gladiators (or Warriors of 2072). Jeff and Lucas deep-dive into this hidden gem, as well as announce the release of Lucas Mangum's newest book: The Final Gate. Co-written with Splatterpunk Award winner Wesley Southard, it's the ultimate prose tribute to the late horror maestro. You can preorder here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0972JN4B4

Luther the Geek
In carnie terminology, a geek was a sideshow act involving the eating of strange, inedible things (in the old days, this often invited biting the heads of chickens). In Roger Ebert's review of the Troma classic Mother's Day, the critic used the term "geek cinema" to describe films intended to shock and disgust. Luther the Geek is a 1989 movie about a deranged killer terrifying a family after his release from prison. Jeff and Lucas dissect the latter in this latest episode of Make Your Own Damn Podcast, a podcast where they look back on the wonderful, whacky films of...

Jeff and Lucas examine the beloved possession flick Rabid Grannies. First things first, the villains the title refers to are neither rabid nor grannies. That said, it's still a great title, and this is a wild movie with a wild (and mysterious) production and release history.

Cannibal! The Musical
Long before becoming household names with the creation of South Park, a couple of film students named Trey Parker and Matt Stone got together with their friends and classmates to make a movie about Alfred Packer, the first person convicted of cannibalism in the United States. The result was Cannibal! The Musical, an irreverent yet quaint film full of songs and flesh-eating. The last stop on their search for a distributor was the infamous Troma Entertainment and the rest is history. Hosts Lucas Mangum and Jeff Burk talk about everything from the making of the film, the film itself...
