Season 9: Episode 77: That Ray Dennis Steckler Retrospective Part 3!

 
Recorded on April 15th and April 22nd, 2023.
Greetings, fans! That Horror Show Podcast brings you the final episode of their Ray Dennis Steckler retrospective. Show hosts Timothy Kazda and Chris Koenig tackle three more films from the wacky outsider filmmaker and they certainly are something else. First up is "The Hollywood Strangler Meets the Skid Row Slasher'' (1979), a simple tale of love and lust between a psychotic photographer who loves to strangle hookers and a used book-store owner who slashes the throats of drunken bums! Then, the boys talk about "The Las Vegas Serial Killer'' (1986), a quasi-sequel - or maybe a remake, or perhaps some soft-reboot made before there was a thing called a "reboot"? - to the previous film in which our intrepid photographer-strangler is back in action while the story cuts back and forth between two non-descript muggers that might play into the story...or maybe not?!?! And finally, the hosts review Steckler's last film "One More Time" (2009), which is an attempt at an existential follow up to "The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies!!?" and...well, it's something! Also on board is Nate's 'Kids Corner' in which he'll be talking about "Prey" (2022), the recent addition in the "Predator" franchise. 

Season 9: Episode :76: That Ray Dennis Steckler Retrospective Part 2!

Originally Recorded on  March 11th, 12th, and 25th, 2023
Greetings and salutations, fans! That Horror Show Podcast presents Part Deux
of our Ray Dennis Steckler retrospective! Tune in as hosts Timothy Kazda and
Chris Koenig tackles Steckler's next productions, which feature enough behind the camera professionalism to capture the personal "home movie" horror film aesthetic. First up, Tim and Chris review "The Lemon Grove Kids Meet the Monsters" (1967-1969), a three-part short film series mash-up in which Steckler imitates the 'Bowery Boys' with his friends and family in 'The Lemon Grove Kids', 'The Lemon Grove Kids Meet the Green Grasshopper and the Vampire Lady from Outer Space' (phew...what a title!) and 'The Lemon Grove Kids...Go Hollywood!' And then, once when the 1970s began everything would change for Ray with his production of "The Chooper" (1971, aka "Blood Shack"), which shows you need a lot more than just the hot Nevada desert locale and a decrepit house complete with a soiled mattress to make a horror movie! But wait, that’s not all: Chris goes solo to review a couple of Steckler's later triple-X rated horror titles (so Tim doesn't have to!) of the likes such as "The Mad Love Life of a Hot Vampire", "Count Al-Kum" (oh, how witty, Ray!), "The Sexorcist Devil" and "Red Heat" (and yes, these reviews of Steckler's hardcore titles are NSFW, kids!). And we also have yet another Kids Corner review with Nate in which he talks about "M3GAN" (2022) with special guest Gabi.

Season 9: Episode 75: That Ray Dennis Steckler Retrospective Part 1!

Recorded on Saturday January 14th, Sunday January 15th and Sunday February 5th, 2023.
Welcome to 2023, fans! That Horror SHow Podcast begins this brand new year with yet another retrospective, this time on a particular filmmaker who dabbled with the horror genre in his own unique ways: Ray Dennis Steckler! Regulated to near obscurity due to being a filmmaker that hinged outside of the "mainstream", Steckler's work is still ripe for rediscovery and re-evaluation, so your lovely hosts Timothy Kazda and Chris Koenig have decided to take the plunge into his works. First up is the film that most cult movie fans know of just by its title alone: "The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies !!?" (1963), a movie that has gone down in history thanks to (or no thanks to) the Golden Turkey Awards as 'The Worst Film Ever Made', a claim that the hosts are willing to challenge. Second up is what some Steckler fans consider his minimalist masterpiece "The Thrill Killers" (1965), a weird combo of trapped-in-Hollywood-rat-race film noir meets psychopathic murderers on a bloody rampage in the tradition of "Psycho"! And third is not a horror movie but the jewel-in-the-crown of Steckler's form of improvised cinema "Rat Pfink a Boo Boo" (1966), which begins as a movie featuring three thugs involved in a kidnapping and ends as a...oh, comon', you just gotta listen to find out!!! Also on hand is Nate's 'Kids Corner' and gives his take on none other than the Season 4 finale of 'Stranger Things'!

Season 8: Episode 74: That Black Friday Episode!

And speaking of this episode, Tim and Chris tackle none other than "Black Friday" (2021), which features a triple-threat of Bruce "Evil Dead" Campbell, Michael "Black Dynamite" Jai White, and Devon "Insert Your Choice of Whatever Bad VOD Movie He Was In Previous" Sawa! So what did these two think about the movie? Well, you gotta sit back and give this show a listen in order to find out!
Plus a brand new Kidz Corner with Nate we chat about "Sharknado" (2013)

Happy Holidays, fans! That Horror Show Podcast is back with a very special Christmas-themed episode for you horror movie lovers out there. Yes, the Christmas tree is up with all the trimmings, the stockings are hung by the fireplace, and the eggnog with an extra pinch of brandy is ready to be consumed. And yes, that annoying little ‘Elf on the Shelf’ has been tied up and locked in the closet where he should be! Anyways, join in on the festivities as hosts Timothy Kazda and Chris Koenig review two holiday horror movies: “Black Christmas” and…well, "Black Christmas”. That’s right, Tim and Chris sing their praises over the Bob Clark classic “Black Christmas” (1974), as well as offer their grievances over Glen Morgan’s remake “Black Christmas” (2006).
 
But wait, there’s more: Tim and Chris also offer their favorite non-horror themed Christmas movies. Listen in as Chris talks a bit about his holiday favorites “Bad Santa” (2003), “Scandal” (1950) and “Larceny Inc.” (1942), while Tim reveals his holiday pleasures “The Long Kiss Goodnight” (1996), “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” (1989) and “It’s a Wonderful Life” (1946). Consider this little segment a hybrid of the ‘What Have We Watched’ segment that you all know and love (and, in case if you are wondering, we will be bringing that segment back for next year’s episodes, we promise!).

Season 8: Episode 73: That Crazy Cult Episode Part II: The Devil Made Me Do It!

Recorded Monday October 5th and Wednesday October 12th, 2022 
 
Happy Halloween, fans! That Horror Show Podcast brings you another double-feature review of horror that will tickle your funny-bones. Show hosts Timothy Kazda and Chris Koenig have jumped in the way-back machine and transplant themselves to that bygone era known as the 1970s. Tim and Chris find some flea-pit drive-in theatre and check out two low-budget oddities: "Crypt of Dark Secrets" (1978) and "Mardi Gras Massacre" (1978). And, believe it or not, these movies have the following things in common: both involve cult satanic worship, both are cinematic drive-in dreck, both are filmed on location in New Orleans! So take a trip down with us to 'The Big Easy' (or, as Chris himself says, 'The Big Sleazy'...don't worry, he means that as a term of endearment!), check in to the drive-in with your favorite gal in the passenger seat for some "quality time" together, and give this show a listen! 
Plus a all new Kidz Corner with Nate where we chat about "Aliens" (1986)

Recorded on Saturday September 10th and Sunday September 18th, 2022
What up, fans? That Horror Show Podcast is back with another brand new episode off the assembly line, so grab your headphones, pour your drink of choice and give this one a spin! Show hosts Timothy Kazda and Chris Koenig tackle a horror double-feature of Satanic proportions! Listen in as the hosts give their take on the topsy-turvy nuttiness that is "Satanic Panic" (2019), and then our dynamic reviewers talk about the rather sedate "We Summon the Darkness" (2019) and marvel at the fact that a near unrecognizable Johnny Knoxville participated in a horror movie. So if you want to know what our take is on these two movies, well...ah, comon, you already know what you have to do!

Season 8: Episode: 71: That Deadly Games Episode: Ready Or Not it’s time to Hunt!

Recorded Monday August 8th, 2022 and Friday August 12th, 2022
Greetings and salutations, fans! That Horror Show Podcast brings you yet another double-feature review for your listening pleasure. Show hosts Timothy Kazda and Chris Koenig came across two films that deal with the subject of 'The Most Dangerous Game'. Question for any of you that are married or have just gotten married: did your in-laws trap you inside a large mansion and chase you down for sport? If so, then you'll love the hosts' review of "Ready or Not" (2019)! And for the second movie: do you like your horror mixed with the politics of the day? Well then, listen in as the hosts try to make heads-or-tails out of "The Hunt" (2020)! 
All this and a brand new KIDZ Corner with Nate where we discuss the 1990 film "Tremors" and the return of our Mailroom segment!

Season 8: Episode 70: That Spiral From The Book of SAW Episode!

Recorded Saturday June 25th, 2022
Greetings and salutations, fans! That Horror Show Podcast brings you the fourth installment of our 'Saw' franchise review series! Wait, you thought the series ended with "Jigsaw"? Apparently Lionsgate/Twisted Pictures saw fit to squeeze a little more juice out of this franchise, and "Spiral: From The Book of Saw" (2021) is the ninth film to assault the unsuspecting public (and yes, you read that right, it is the NINTH film in this neverending series!!!). Who would have thought the first film started out as a low-budget wonder from a then-unknown James Wan - with an on-screen title that actually lives up to its promise! - and would begat an entire franchise? The mind boggles! And speaking of mind-boggling, Timothy Kazda and Chris Koenig have taken it upon themselves to check out the new entry. So does this follow-up break up its tried-and-true formula to do something else for a change...or is it the same old, same old story? Does Chris Rock prove he has the acting chops to tackle a horror movie worthy of his presence? And does this movie really have a "book" in it? To find the answers, all you have to do is give this episode a listen. But wait, that's not all: also joining in on the festivities is our special guest 'Saw' expert Chris Barreras to help your lovely hosts get through this incredibly exhaustive series!
Plus a brand new Kidz Corner segment where Nate reviews his first R Rated film "Alien" (1979) .
