Blood and Black Rum Podcast - A Cult Film / Horror Podcast

We finally take on one of the most famous horror Thanksgiving movies: Blood Rage! We both agree that this is like a lower-budget, Thanksgiving version of Silent Night, Deadly Night, just way less effective. We talk about the randomness of the movie, the feeling that a lot of this was ad libbed, the gory violence, the interminable length, and a whole lot more.

We're also drinking Ommegang/Firestone Walker's Neon Giants NEIPA collaboration!

Episode 193: So Creepy It's Carpenter IX | HALLOWEEN KILLS

1 Recommendations

Our final episode for 2021's Halloween season is a cheat with the John Carpenter thing; he didn't direct Halloween Kills, but he did contribute the characters and film score. But of course we had to cover this sequel to the 2018's requel, and we take a lot of time to channel our frustrations at this follow-up. We enjoyed 2018's Halloween quite a bit, and while we did have fun with Halloween Kills, we spend most of this episode discussing the many areas it goes wrong - and then try to cover a few places we really liked. Hope you enjoyed our series, check back with us in a couple of weeks for some holiday podcasting!

Oh yeah, we're drinking Guinness' Nitro Cold Brew Coffee beer.

Episode 195: Festivus Series | BLACK CHRISTMAS (2006)

Festivus Series 2021 starts now! We're returning to the lore of Billy and Agnes in our look at Black Christmas (sometimes stylized Black Xmas) from 2006, a remake of the original film that throws in quite a few odes and tries to give a LOT more backstory. That's not entirely successful, and we talk about why. But we also discuss the holiday festivities, the themes, the cookie-cutter protagonists, and a whole lot more... and we come to a conclusion why we don't return to this movie each year.

Also, we're drinking Ommegang's Everything Nice strong blonde ale, perfect for the festive season.
