Season 9: Episode 80: That Road Trip Episode: It’s a Joy Ride until you Breakdown!

 
Recorded on Sunday September 10th and Sunday September 17th, 2023
Hola, fans! Summer has come to an end, but that doesn't mean That Horror Show Podcast has stopped producing new episodes. Your two crazed hosts Timothy Kazda and Chris Koenig have put away the sunscreen and closed the outdoor grill, and are getting back on the horse via tackling two roadside thrillers! Listen in as the boys delve into "Breakdown" (1997) and admire the pairing of the great Kurt Russell going toe-to-toe against J.T. Walsh in a movie filled with mystery, intrigue and an awesome finale of vehicular mayhem! And for their second movie viewing, the boys talk about "Joy Ride" (2001) and chuckle over how trucker 'Rusty Nail' takes a liking to a young and spry Paul Walker...er, uh, I mean, 'Candy Cane'!!! But wait, there's more! Oh yes, just when you think that was all this episode has in store for you, we still have MORE!!! Listen to 'Kids Corner' in which little Nate gives his take on "Predators" (2010).

Season 9: Episode 79: That Killer Summer Vacation Episode!

Recorded Tuesday August 1st and Thursday August 3rd, 2023
Greetings and salutations, fans! That Horror Show Podcast is back (finally!) with a new episode to satisfy your end-of-summer woes. We would've had the episode up last month, but your lovable hosts Timothy Kazda and Chris Koenig deserve some much-needed time off for a while. Tim has been very busy enjoying family vacations and coordinating children's sports, while Chris has been soaking up the sun at the local pool. But, as we all know, summer is coming to an end and it's time for The Boys to get back to, ahem, "work". So listen in as the hosts review the very odd "Summer Camp" (2015), and then gush over "Summer of '84" (2018)! But wait, that's not all: listen in for Kidz Corner in which little Nate gets all 'roided-up to tackle the action/sci-fi/horror classic "Predator 2" (1990)!

Season 9: Episode 78: That Overseas Episode Part 2: Welcome to Romania!

Recorded: Sunday May 28th, 2023 and Tuesday June 20th, 2023
Howdy, fans! That Horror Show Podcast brings you another brand, spankin' new episode to delight your eardrums (hopefully!). After surviving the Ray Dennis Steckler three-part retrospective, show-hosts Timothy Kazda and Chris Koenig felt it was time to take a trip overseas, relax, and check out two horror-thrillers that take place in foreign locales. So after getting their passports updated and purchasing their round-trip tickets, Tim and Chris hopped on a jet and made their way to France to check out "High Tension" (2003) - or "Haute Tension", if you prefer it in native 'Francais' - a tale of two college girls heading out to the French countryside to study, only to have their weekend be ruined by some swarthy French-dude who has a penchant for committing horrible murders. You know, that old story!!! Then, after that, the hosts move on to none other than Romania to check out "Watcher" (2022), a fish-out-of-water story that's as old as time: an American woman who fears that she might be a future victim of a serial killer!!!! So if you're interested in knowing what the show-hosts think about those two movies...well, give this episode a listen and you'll find out!
All this and brand new Kidz Corner where Nate and Tim travel into the Guatemala Central American rainforest to Checkout the 1987 classic film "Predator".

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!

Recorded Tuesday December 13th, 2022

The merry hosts Timothy Kazda and Chris Koenig have set up the Christmas tree, wrapped all their gifts...and have plenty of egg-nog and brandy on hand to help them get through this 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)
