Posted on August 5, 2019 by producer

Hop in and hold on because HORROR MOVIE PODCAST is kicking it into maximum overdrive for Episode 178. That’s right, Wolfman Josh, Dr. Shock and Gillman Joel are hitting the road on a highway to hell with a Feature Review of The Hitcher (1986) as well as a SHUDDER-sponsored Screaming Online review of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974).

Horror Movie Podcast has been a bi-weekly show that is often late to post. We’re thinking about moving the show to just twice per month, still roughly aiming for an every other Monday release schedule. Technically, that would mean a few less shows per year, but practically, it would mean that our shows would be posted on time more often and would help ensure that the mental health of your hosts is is a place where we can continue to deliver the show for years to come. We would love your feedback on this.

Sharks are not monsters, but they are apex predators. We’ll explore that idea further in HORROR MOVIE PODCAST Episode 177, Part 3 of our ongoing Shark Attack! coverage, because we’re deeply Dead Serious About Horror Movies. In this episode, Wolfman Josh, Dr. Shock and Gillman Joel swim through Feature Reviews of action-horror fin flicks Deep Blue Sea 2 (2018) and Bait (2012), as well as SyFy original Frenzy (2018) and the new alligator attack film from Alexandre Aja, Crawl (2019). Wolfman also recommends (and briefly appears in) shark conservation documentary Saving Jaws (2019), a beautifully shot new film from his friend Keoni Bowthorpe (whose incredible Campfire Tale was featured back in Shark Attack! – Part 1). Let’s dive right in!

We’re putting the paws of one of Joel’s all time favorite films to the fire in Episode 172 of HORROR MOVIE PODCAST to test the theory that the soil in a man’s heart is stonier, hoping we won’t have to bury our own when a battle to the death erupts, because we’re all so Dead Serious About Horror Movies.
