XenomaniaScream (2022) — XenomaniaLegacy is a dangerous thing.
This week we revisit Woodsboro for Scream (2022) — the sequel that pretends to be a reboot while quietly sharpening the knife. New cast. Old trauma. Same mask.
We talk about how the film balances nostalgia with new blood, and whether it actually earns that balance. Does bringing back Sidney, Gale, and Dewey feel necessary… or safe? And more importantly, do the new characters stand on their own?
We get into:
The “requel” concept and how the movie openly mocks it
The hospital sequence and why it’s one of the cle...

XenomaniaBaskin (2015) - Xenomania 60This week we finally tackle Baskin.
It starts like a grimy cop movie. Guys in a patrol car. Dumb jokes. A late-night call that feels routine. Then they get sent to an abandoned building, and from there the movie just keeps going down. Literally.
The shift is what makes it work. You’re grounded for just long enough to feel stable, and then that stability disappears. The film stops explaining itself. Scenes stretch. Conversations feel wrong. The deeper they go, the less it feels like a mistake and the more it feels like something waiting....

XenomaniaHeart Eyes – Xenomania 59RomCom tropes to die for.”
In this episode, Jon, Ryan, and Kearns spiral into the sticky, savage chaos of Heart Eyes — a film where the apocalypse isn’t just viral, it’s romantic. We break down why the monsters don’t attack Luna, how this world turns affection into infection, and whether the line between symbiosis and codependence has ever been blurrier.
There’s something unsettlingly sweet about it all: the pastel lighting, the almost-musical pacing, the way decapitations land like love songs. It’s a love story dressed in flayed skin, a YA fever dream mashed i...

XenomaniaThe Strangers: Chapter 1 – Xenomania 58"You opened the door. They walked in."
In this episode, Jon, Ryan, and Kearns return to the woods. Not the ones where magic lives, but where people do terrible things for no reason at all. The Strangers: Chapter 1 is not a reboot. It is a quiet escalation. A slower blade. And yes, it is still knocking.
We dive into the bleak domesticity of it all. A cabin. A couple. A car that will not start. And why this film refuses to explain anything. There is no twisted backstory. No monstrous reveal. Just the cold echo...

Xenomania28 Years Later: Bone Temple – Xenomania 57The rage never left.
In this episode, Jon, Ryan, and Kearns trek through the ash-crusted mythos of 28 Years Later: Bone Temple, where blood memory and broken faith collide in the ruins of civilization. This isn’t just another infection movie, it’s a story about what survives when survival stops being enough.
We follow Jimmy, a demented cult leader with running out of fingers, and Ian, the doctor who still believes mercy is sacred . When Ian gives the beast Sampson a syringe of morphine, it’s not cruelty. It’s communion. He still sees the man bene...

XenomaniaSilent Hill: Cult Town, Knife Nurses, and Pyramid Schemes - Xenomania 56“Mommy, am I still me?”
In this episode, Jon, Ryan, and Kearns descend through the ash-fog of Konami’s most cursed export to talk religious fanaticism, trauma cults, and how Silent Hill (2006) is somehow both aggressively incoherent and artistically iconic.
We discuss why the town feels like a Lovecraftian divorce court, how Radha Mitchell sold genuinely unhinged mom energy, and why pyramid-headed grief demons are always the final boss of parenting. Plus: acid spit nuns, dead-eyed zealots, and a parking lot scene that lives rent-free in our collective psyche.
Is the movie good? That d...

XenomaniaSweet, Bloody, Vengeful: Candyman’s Back and Buzzin - Xenomania 55Say it once, say it twice, say it five times and get wrecked. In this episode, Jon, Ryan, and Kearns stare too long into a rearview mirror of American horror and watch it reflect rot, gentrified ghosts, legacy trauma, and bees with union grievances. Candyman returns with a paintbrush dipped in blood and ink, and the Xenoboys debate whether this reboot-sequel-refracted-nightmare sticks the landing or gets stuck in its own honey trap. Spoiler: art is pain, and pain is profit.
We talk Cabrini-Green, puppets that slit throats, and what happens when a myth fights back.

XenomaniaThe Sixth Sense: Ghosts, Guilt, and the Twist That Broke the ’90s - Xenomania 54“I see dead tropes…”
For years, The Sixth Sense has lived in the shadow of its twist.
In this episode of Xenomania, we revisit M. Night Shyamalan’s breakout film with fresh eyes and less nostalgia. Yes, it’s a well-crafted ghost story with moments of genuine pathos, but how well does it hold up under scrutiny?
We unpack the emotional weight of Haley Joel Osment’s performance, the chilly atmosphere, and Shyamalan’s restrained direction. But we also ask harder questions about pacing, predictability, and the long-term impact of a film that may have taugh...

XenomaniaCountdown to Chaos: New Year’s Evil (1980) – Xenomania 53In this year-end finale of Xenomania, Jon and Ryan slip into their shiniest disco suits and dial into New Year’s Evil (1980)—a sleazy, synth-laced slasher set during a televised NYE countdown. As a killer named “Evil” offs a victim at the stroke of midnight in each U.S. time zone, we discuss the film’s time-locked gimmick, glam-punk aesthetics, sleazy subtext, and its strange place in the slasher canon. We don’t explore the blend of punk nihilism and Reagan-era paranoia simmering just beneath the surface, but cap off the year with our favorite movies and episodes of 2025.

XenomaniaTinsel. Blood. Mayhem: Silent Night Deadly Night—Xenomania 52In this holiday massacre of an episode, the Xenomania crew unwraps Christmas Bloody Christmas (2022), Joe Begos’s neon-slick splatterfest where a military-grade robotic Santa malfunctions into a relentless killing machine.
Come for the grindhouse aesthetic, stay for the synth soundtrack, practical gore, and surprisingly sharp central performances. We dig into the subtext (is there any?), the style (hell yes), and how the film splits the sleigh bells between homage and full-blown absurdity.
It’s Silent Night, Deadly Night by way of The Terminator, with a double shot of J&B.

XenomaniaThe Last Mile: The Long Walk – Xenomania 51In this stark, brutal episode of Xenomania, Jon, Ryan, and Kearns set off down the desolate highways of The Long Walk — Francis Lawrence’s harrowing 2025 adaptation of Stephen King’s dystopian thriller.
Fifty boys. One rule: never stop walking. Three strikes and the guns come out. No finish line. No mercy. Only one winner gets a wish and riches beyond belief — everyone else just collapses in the dust.
The hosts break down how the film turns a terrifyingly simple premise — keep moving or die — into a psychological survival saga full of pain, camaraderie, existential dread, and the crus...

XenomaniaBattle Royale: The Original Death Game–Xenomania 50In this milestone 50th episode, Jon, Ryan, and Kearns strap on explosive collars and dive headfirst into Battle Royale (2000)—Kinji Fukasaku’s ultraviolent, emotionally raw, and politically charged cult classic.
They dissect its brutal allegory for youth disillusionment, the ethical rot of authority, and how the film paved the way for modern dystopias like The Hunger Games, Squid Game, and beyond.
What happens when a classroom turns battlefield? Who deserves to survive? And why does this film still hit harder than ever 20+ years later?
Spoiler: there’s no detention. Just death.

From killer Santas to traumatic orphans, the guys explore how this low-budget bloodbath turned yuletide cheer into a moral panic—and became one of the most infamous seasonal slashers of the ‘80s.
They dive into Catholic guilt, VHS horror boom aesthetics, and why the line “Punish!” still hits like a sleigh bell to the face.
Come for the murder montage. Stay for the deranged Christmas carols.
Ho-ho-horrifying.

XenomaniaA Slasher to Be Thankful For: Thanksgiving - Xenomania 48In this episode, Jon, Ryan, and Kearns gather around the blood-soaked banquet table to dig into Eli Roth’s Thanksgiving (2023), a pitch-perfect homage to holiday slashers, grindhouse grit, and small-town hysteria.
From Black Friday mayhem to Pilgrim masks and meat thermometers in all the wrong places, they dissect how Roth turns a fake trailer into a full-on feast of gore, gags, and gruesome cheer.
Who lives? Who gets basted? And is Thanksgiving the best seasonal slasher in years?
Tune in for talk of genre tropes, teen scream archetypes, Roth’s return to form, and...

XenomaniaFamily Films: Sinister and the Celluloid Curse – Xenomania 46In this episode, Jon, Ryan, and Kearns thread the film through the reel as they dive into Sinister (2012)—that grainy, grief-soaked descent into found footage and demonic legacy.
They dissect how Scott Derrickson weaponized Super 8 film, where Ethan Hawke ranks on the “horror dad breakdown” scale, and why Bagul might be the most anti-cinema entity in the genre.
From lawnmower jumpscares to ghost kids in the attic, the trio unpacks Sinister's brutal rhythms, the ethics of exploitation, and that final, gutting fade to black.

In this episode, Jon, Ryan, and Kearns inject themselves straight into The Substance (2024) — Coralie Fargeat’s visceral, body-horror masterpiece starring Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley. From Hollywood’s obsession with youth to the brutal metamorphosis of envy and identity, we peel back the skin of this glittering nightmare to see what festers beneath.
It’s glossy. It’s gory. It’s glorious. And the only thing more dangerous than wanting to be perfect is succeeding.

In this episode, Jon, Ryan, and Kearns stalk through Prey (2022), the lean, vicious reimagining of the Predator mythos. We break down Amber Midthunder’s powerhouse performance as Naru, the stripped-back tension of Comanche survival against extraterrestrial terror, and how this film brought the franchise back to its primal roots.
The rules are simple: hunt or be hunted.

XenomaniaBlack Phone: The Dead Dial BackSome calls come from deeper than the grave - Xenomania 42
When a disconnected rotary phone starts ringing in the middle of the night, the voice on the other end isn’t asking for help—it’s giving instructions. Jon traces the history of the device through a trail of grief and disappearances. Ryan digs up an unsettling number of Cold War death cults. And Kearns wonders: what if the signal isn’t coming from beyond the veil… but beneath it? A haunted line. A message undelivered. And something ancient on the other end, learning to speak in our dead.

Between cannibal barbecue, buried victims, and a man in a giant pig’s head wielding a chainsaw, we explore how this satirical cult classic carved its place in grindhouse history.
Check in for the night, but don’t ask what’s on the menu.

In this episode, Jon, Ryan, and Kearns dive into James Wan’s Saw (2004) — the grimy, low-budget indie that became a cultural juggernaut and redefined the horror genre. From the claustrophobic tension of its traps, to the moral rot at its core, to that infamous ending, we unravel why Saw cut so deep and spawned a new era of horror.
How far would you go to survive the game?

In this special episode, Jon, Ryan, and Kearns unravel Weapons (2025), Zach Cregger’s twisted mystery-horror about loss, secrets, and the quiet horror of what we accept when we refuse to ask what’s really going on. From the chilling moment at 2:17 AM when everything changes, to the impossible clues in newspapered windows and locked hair-rituals, this is a story where paranoia is the weapon.
Disappearances, witchcraft, and the echoes of trauma — sometimes the scariest monste...

The carnival’s come to town. And it’s not leaving without bodies.

This week, Jon takes aim at Ed and Lorraine Warren, exposing how the so-called “paranormal experts” built their fame on shaky foundations, exploiting grief, fear, and faith with snake oil salesmanship dressed up as spiritual warfare.

Expect eerie laughs, sobering truths, and a haunting reminder that sometimes the scarie...

In this episode, Jon, Ryan, and Kearns dive headfirst into Cameron’s chaotic first directorial outing, the cursed production that nearly sank his career before it started, and why the film has managed to cling to cult status like a school of razor-toothed survivors.

In Episode 34, Jon, Ryan, and Kearns sink their teeth into Joe Dante’s Piranha (1978), a horror-comedy creature feature where the gore is plentiful, the budget is questionable, and the fish have an agenda. What begins as a government oopsie spirals into a screaming satire of Cold War paranoia, summer vacation, and the dangers of skinny-dipping.

From cymbal crashes to cursed consequences, the team explores how The Monkey taps into one of King’s most haunting themes: the inescapability of family trauma. Is the film just a tale of cursed objects, or is it an allegory for inherited guilt and the decay that follows? Why do so many horror stories use toys as vessels for dread—and what happens when nostalgia turns toxic?...

This week, Jon, Ryan, and Kearns shuffle down the linoleum halls of the Shady Rest Retirement Home and into the undead crypt of Bubba Ho-Tep (2002). They’re peeling back the gauze on Elvis impersonation, geriatric horror, soul-sucking mummies, and the tragic beauty of forgotten legends.
Is Bubba Ho-Tep just a cult oddity—or a deeply melancholic meditation on identity, memory, and death dressed in a rhinestone jumpsuit? Why does this movie hit harder than it has any right to? And what exactly does it mean to die...

Gigantic rabbits, unconvincing bloodlust, and science gone carrot-mad—our intrepid trio investigates the Cold War anxieties and ecological dread buried beneath the fluff. Is it a cautionary tale about unchecked experimentation, or just a weird Texan fever dream in fur suits?
