Episode 232: Buzzkill

This week we covered a Tubi Original movie from 2026, it's "Buzzkill." Sorority sister Nora has to deal with the sudden murder of the sorority's president. She feels guilty because on the night of the murder she was really drunk and might have been able to prevent it. And despite all signs pointing to an ex-boyfriend, Nora just doesn't believe he did it. The trouble is, she can only remember the details of that night when she's drunk. So she has no choice but to grab a bottle and try to find the real killer before she and her other sorority sisters all black out forever.

On this week's fresh episode of SlashU we're bringing you our thoughts on a sequel. We covered "The Barn" in the past and now it's time to review "The Barn Part 2" from 2022. As usual with slasher sequels, the gore and kill count is all ramped up. And since "The Barn Part 3" is coming out soon, now is a great time to visit this Halloween-themed series of movies. The story continues 3 years after the events of the first movie. Sam and Josh saved the town, but they disappeared. The sole survivor Michelle and Josh's older sister Heather are putting on a haunted house fundraiser, but all they end up doing is conjuring up the three demons from the first movie along with a few new demon friends of theirs!Listen, rate and review the show, and share with a friend!Follow us on Instagram @SlashU_PodcastEmail us at [email protected] out the Facebook page too: SlashU PodcastClick any of the Amazon links at SlashUPodcast.com to support the showThanks to ZapSplat.com for our Sound FX Hosted on Acast.

Original Air Date: 7/1/2024This week on "Held Back" we're going back to Season 8, episode 143 of SlashU where we covered "Pillow Party Massacre" from 2023. It's a classic story of a group of young women gathered together at a cabin in the woods for a good old-fashioned slumber party. But since there's already a movie called "Slumber Party Massacre" this party had to be renamed to a Pillow Party. This episode sparked one of our first ever big-time interviews. After this episode aired, the director reached out to us and we sat down to talk to him on a later episode. Calvin Morie McCarthy, you are one amazing, patient, gracious person for talking to a couple knuckleheads who trashed your movie.

Original Air Date: 2/5/2024On this week's "Held Back" we're taking you back to 2024 and the Season 8 premier of SlashU. We covered "Laid to Rest" from 2009. It was an amazing discovery for us because we'd never seen a villain like Chromeskull before. And we covered the sequel too. This one comes up in conversation every once in awhile because we really were hoping for a part 3. Maybe it'll happen, maybe not. It's fun to imagine though.Listen, tell your friends, rate the show and enjoy!Follow us on Instagram @SlashU_PodcastEmail us at [email protected] out the Facebook page too: SlashU PodcastClick any of the Amazon links at SlashUPodcast.com to support the showThanks to ZapSplat.com for our Sound FX Hosted on Acast.

When new girl Hannah comes to town, the past seems to catch up with the group and they spend the movie hiding from a killer dressed as their high school mascot. A tale as old as time.
