Ep -376: Grabbers.

In this episode Jef "jumps the shark" and picks a decent movie for a change of spooky scenery. He picked 1990's "The Exorcist 3" aka "Legion" written and directed by the one and only William Peter Blatty. This film is rare in that the 3rd installment of the franchise is actually good! The true hero of this movie's thumbs up status is one of the best damn actors ever to grace a screen, Mr. Brad Dourif! And while this flick is filled with great shots, cool scares and a killer sound design,  Mr. Blatty also did an amazing job directing even if the picture released was not entirely how he wanted it. If you have never seen it, be sure to check it out because Jef, Josh and Brian think you might like it! Enjoy!

In this episode Josh leads the FM3 down a path the guys have travelled before...A sweet looking poster, a beloved director all wrapped up in some 1970's horror - "DEAD OF NIGHT"! What could possibly go wrong? After all, a disastrous trip to the Vietnam War has never looked so fun as the great times the family in this film are having! Their beloved one and only son has returned from death to sit in his favorite rocking chair upstairs annoying his dad,  disappearing to shoot up that crazy drug blood that is all the rage and occasionally strangling his Father's favorite doggy.  Plus He even drives like a bat out of hell, so folks watch your poor legs as this cool ghoul rips around town trying to find a shallow grave to settle down and call home! The Monkey's paw of the story is you wish for another banger from the legendary Bob Clark and instead you wake up from a mediocre "DEATHDREAM"! 

In this week's episode, Brian picks a little known Irish horror comedy called "Grabbers" from 2012. The FM3 chat about it at length and also find themselves on many tangents this episode. The crew talks about The Void Dweller, meteors, prison food, Texas Chainsaw Reboots, Freddy Krueger and about how Josh, Jef and Brian are gettin' the Charles "Band" back together and more! So tune your tentacles into this extra large episode! 

In this episode the FM3 checks the old answering machine to see what the listeners have to say. Topics that are touched on range from healthy heart foods, Fred Durst, Steven Seagal, foggy London town, creepy musical instruments and of course a teeny bit more shit talking about Nu-Metal. It's a fun episode and we hope you enjoy it! If you wanna leave a message for Jef, Josh and Brian to end up on a future Voicemail episode you can call 707-327-2984. 

In this episode Jef gets to choose a flick to watch and chat about and after the string of stinkers and vastly unknown movies, He thought The FM3 should finally tackle a seminal horror film. Something everyone knows for a change. Travelling all the way from 80's Italy comes 1985's beloved "Demons". The boys have been wanting to do a proper episode on this classic forever and there is no better time than 2026.  Produced by Argento and Directed by Lamberto Bava this movie has all the making of a fave for the Forever Midnight crew! filled to the brim of the Italian boot, this one has everything from glowing eyes, a movie theater, great music and bad dubbing, this episode is sure to be a lot of fun! Enjoy!

In this episode the boys get their pranks on with Josh's pick the overlooked April Fools Day flick "Killer Party" from 1986. Besides shooting the shit about prince and obscure 80's films in this episode, the FM3 may have stumbled truly onto a hidden gem, or a possible diamond in the rough. From the jump things are looking very promising, and any horror film that kicks off this way has gotta be good, right?!  Well Jef, Josh and Brian will leave that decision up to you, the one thing that is for sure is that this weird little movie has charm and charm goes a long way for The Forever Midnight guys. Enjoy! 

In this episode old Brian gets to choose a movie for the crew to watch and talk about, but in typical fashion he goes with an obscure random pick , 1988's "Spider Labyrinth". None of the FM3 had seen this one yet so they had hopes that maybe it could be a hidden gem, however the boys find out very slowly that maybe that isn't the case. But you know the saying "different strokes for different folks" and who knows, maybe you will become one of the dozens of fans of this stinky spaghetti sandwich. Enjoy!

In this episode the FM3 tackle a pick from one of their Top Dawg Patreon patrons. The First film from "Mandy" director Panos Cosmatos, the moody, creepy sci-fi slow-burn "Beyond The Black Rainbow".  This film simmers between a nightmare and fever dream and really what more could you ask for? Sure it's slow, sure the story is barely a story, but it looks like a trillion bucks and the Forever Midnight crew suggest you give it a watch, at least once. 

In this episode, the FM3 get super excited about a movie poster, so much so that Jef changes his pick for the week so that the crew will watch and talk about "The Visitor" (1979). This odd Italian sci-fi horror mashup is one of those classic cases of the poster being way better than the film. Regardless the Forever Midnight dudes hunker down and transcend time and space to visit a great battle between Sateen and Yahweh but really it's just a squabble between a shitty little girl and a crazy old man who does a lot of lookin' and not enough cookin'! Worth a watch? Sure, but don't go into this one thinking you will figure the story out, this film came out almost 50 years ago and Jef, Josh and Brian are certain there is no figuring out this story. Enjoy!

In this episode Josh picked a movie for the crew to watch and talk about but didn't remember until he saw the movie what it was that made him pick it. Yes you read that right hahaha. He chose the 1986 peeper production "Crawlspace" featuring nobody's favorite difficult actor Klaus Kinski. This movie is a weird wild one with "Gunther" (Mr. Kinski) being a huge creeper from start to finish. Plus knowing how difficult it was to make it with him it's amazing that this film is as watchable as it is.  Sure it has its moments but also thank the Dark Lord it's short. It is worth a watch if only to see a genuine madman getting paid to just be a crazy bastard. Enjoy!
