EPISODE 400: THE DEVIL'S REJECTS

Welcome back haomies! One more trip to the 90's before we get it going with some 2024 horror releases. This episode we get into the chamber piece horrors of 1997's CUBE. The film is fairly influential and has developed a niche cult following over time. Jorge and Jacob also discuss Cube 2, which is fucking insane. Both are currently available on Prime for those wanting a re-watch or watching for the first time. "It's all the same machine, right? The Pentagon, multinational corporations, the police. If you do one little job, you build a widget in Saskatoon, and the next thing you know, it's two miles under the desert, the essential component of a death machine. I was right! All along, my whole life, I knew it! I told you! Nobody's ever going to call me paranoid again! We've gotta get out of here and blow the lid off this thing!"

Greetings! We’ve got a couple more visits to the late 90’s before getting into some current 2024 horror releases.  DISTURBING BEHAVIOR is the raw essence of 1998 distilled into pure, shameless, trash. Katie Holmes, horny/homicidal teens, an incoherent mind control premise, stock thematic elements about the dangers of conformity, and James Marsden looking like a full grown man in his early 30’s portraying a high school student. Join us as we discuss this important milestone in cinematic history.  "It's a class system here at CB High, Stevie Boy. Check it out...Those three guys are Cradle Bay's answer to Manson, McVeigh and OJ. Music of choice: the hum of perfection, the buzz of ambition. Drug of choice: life, the pursuit of clean living at the expense of all who sniffle at the hem of their gowns. The you've got kids like me and UV here, those who like their metal heavy, their Marlboro's light. Music of choice...Harvester of Sorrow, Language of the Mad. Drug of choice: what have you got? That's it. Lesson over. Class dismembered. Welcome to Cradle Bay High, Stevie Boy. Welcome to my nightmare." It's The Who Goes There Podcast Episode 407!

It's Cronenberg time. A bit of a spiritual successor to Videodrome, 1999's eXistenZ sees Papa Cronenberg fucking with gaming and virtual reality in his characteristically cerebral, absurd, and physically repellent way. eXistenZ joins Dark City and The Matrix as late 90's, pre-millenium forays into the notion of simulated reality and this is definitely the most surreal of the bunch, and possibly the most prophetic. This is Jorge's first viewing in a couple decades and Jacob's first ever. Enjoy and long live the new flesh! "You're stuck now, aren't you? You want to go back  because there's nothing happening here. We're safe. It's boring. It's worse than that. I'm not sure... I'm not sure here, where we are, is real at all. This feels like a game to me. And you, you're beginning to feel a bit like a game character."

Greetings idiots! We've got a few episodes coming up in rapid succession the next couple weeks- and it's a damn weird slate.

Picture this if you will, it's January 1999. Britney Spears' debut album is all over the place, bands like Sugar Ray and Limp Bizkit saturate alternative radio, Michael Bay's Armageddon was the biggest movie last Summer, and Bill Clinton "did not have sexual relations with that woman." SIKE! Just as we begin our spiral into the imminent Y2K apocalypse, Universal Pictures decides to dump an R-Rated $75 million scifi-horror adaptation of a dope Dark Horse comic book in theaters. This episode, King Hans, the benevolent, bearded lord of our Patreon has decreed we review 1999's VIRUS, starring the likes of Jamie Lee Curtis, Billy Baldwin, and motherfucking Donald Sutherland with a strong contender for the most absurd Irish accent in cinema history.

Another year has come and (almost) gone but we've got a couple more episodes for you as we close out 2023. Gojira is one of the most enduring film characters in cinema history. Since first appearing in the 1954 original, everyone's favorite reptilian Kaiju has starred in a total of 38 films and counting. Between Warner Bros. MonsterVerse film franchise and the Monarch: Legacy of Monsters series on Apple TV+, Godzilla is having a bit of a moment right now, again. We've seen a lot of iterations of the guy; the good guy version, the bad guy version, the neutral force of nature, the rubber suits, the bad 90's CGI, cartoons, and lots of dope toys. GODZILLA MINUS ONE is the first period piece in the franchise and the first since the 1954 original to reset the clock and setting back to post-World War 2, and post-atomic holocaust, Japan. So what'd we think of this genre hybrid spectacle that returns the big guy to his roots? Listen and find out. If you enjoy the show, consider joining our Patreon.

We had a little poll not too long ago to select what film we should do for our milestone 400th episode. When all was said and done, there was one film which ended up narrowly edging out other finalists like American Werewolf in Paris and Tales From the Hood. That film was Rob Zombie’s 2005 ode to psychotic trash , THE DEVIL’S REJECTS.    If you enjoy the show, consider joining our Patreon.

This episode we weigh-in on WHEN EVIL LURKS, Argentinian writer/director Demian Rugna’s follow up to his 2017 feature film debut, Atterados. There's a whole lot of films in the demonic possession horror sub-genre. Is it still possible to create something fresh and unique with such an arguably overused trope? Listen and find out.
