WITNESS THE LIVES OF INTERESTING PEOPLE MADE MORE INTERESTING VIA SUBJECTIVE TRUTHS, PLASTIC AVATARS, UNRELIABLE NARRATORS, AND CG MONKEY-FICATION!! Biopics: bland, formulaic, predictable. You’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all, right? Well, not every filmmaker is content to follow the blueprint.

We’ve already covered natural disasters and killer animals on Genre Grinder, but what about some specifically man-made environmental horrors? Well, that’s where Gabe and returning guest Justin Clark come in. After last month’s epic seven movie podcast, we’re dialing things back to a more manageable three films, all from different countries and

Regular listeners will remember that Chloe was on my podcast back in April of this year when we talked about Anthology Horror Films , so I'm returning the favor and talking about Lucio Fulci on her podcast. More specifically, we're talking about his breakout horror hit, Zombi 2 , aka: Zombie and Zombie Flesh Eaters (1979). If you ever wanted to know about how I became a fan of Italian horror, we talk about th

Surprise! Patrick Ripoll has resurrected his Tracks of the Damned podcast, but only for the month of November. He's releasing one lightly researched episode per day, all of them commentary tracks for films directed by the one and only Roger Corman. That's 30 Roger Corman commentaries in 30 days! And there are already 11 of them available for download on your podcaster of choice! As a bonus, I joined him on the episode for Attack of the Crab Monsters (1957). Technically, we a
