Ep -362: Dr. Caligari.

In this episode, old Brian gets to pick a movie for the guys to watch and chat about. Feeling like they had waited long enough and before Josh could pick it himself, Brian chose the 1989 art house freakout "Dr. Caligari! The FM3 was not prepared for the wild ride of this bat shit sequel to the original "The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari". However if you love the OG silent film don't come looking for anything that really resembles tht film, but do steady yourselves because you are gonna see some shit, you never thought you would. Artsy, shitty, beautiful and horny are just a few of the adjectives that folks use to describe this weird ass flick, but please don't take the FM crew's word for it, watch it and be forever changed by Dr. Caligari.

(TRIGGER WARNING: Sexual Assault, Child Murder, Racism, Bodily Fluids, Cannibalism and a Contagious Virus. Please skip this episode and this movie if any of those subjects are a deal breaker for you) In this episode Jef, Josh and Brian are put to the test with another Top Dawg Patreon Pick! This time around the poison chosen for the guys is 1996's "Ebola Syndrome". This flick is filled with one of the worst villains in cinema history, doing some of the most fucked up crimes in cinema history. This dastardly man Kai San is portrayed by the one and only Anthony Wong. No person is safe in Hong Kong or Africa when this guy is doing his dirty work. Jef, Josh and Brian had a hard time with this one but being the podcast professionals that they are, they toughed it out and brought you the episode that lies before you. So strap in, because this is gonna be a rough ride. Maybe wear a mask for this episode, the FM3 are afraid just talking about this horrible man's shenanigans will infect you wonderful listeners. Enjoy? 

In this episode, the FM3 tackle another Top Dawg Patreon pick! Teleported into a Suzuki Sidekick and charging over some grassy green hills Jef, Josh and Brian catch the faintest whiff of Demon. The horrible, unforgivable Demon Wind (1990). Now they need to decide if they are gonna fight amongst themselves, fight the approaching horde of Demons, hopefully saving themselves and humanity. They hope you enjoy it!

It's 2026 and the FM3 are back in the saddle! This time around the guys are watching a Top Dawg Patreon pick. Chosen for the guys is the 2002 Nü Metal mess-terpiece "Queen of the Damned. Jef, Josh and Brian have been talking about checking this blood sucking blowout for many years. Finally they are forced to watch and listen as "The Vampire Lestat" becomes the hip Nü music that will usher in a Nü era of vampires wreaking havoc on the ears of the mortals. Get ready to Räwk!  

Tis the season to chat about trashy holiday horror! In this episode Jef, Josh and Brian dig deep into Santa's sack and hit the tippy bottom and come up with 1980's "To All A Goodnight".  With arguably one of the worst VHS covers for a vintage Christmas slasher, this one doubles down by also being directed by the super creep from Last House on the Left, David Hess. However what it lacks in art, story and star power they fill in with blood, boobs, Santa and the one and only Harry Reems. So win win win!? This festive flick is currently streaming on TUBI so go give it a watch and join the FM3 for some Xmas fun! Happy Holidays!

In this episode, keeping with the winter frosty theme from last week, The FM3 hit the slopes and freeze their giggle berries off checking out Adam Green's "Frozen" from 2010. This film is a simple survival horror film but it sure does get the crew talking about their fears,tribulations and stories about hot doggin' out in the icy mountains as well as other remote locals like Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and Singapore. So get a jacket and some mittens because It's about to get real cold in here and whatever you do, don't call The Ski Patrol!  

The FM3 decided to kick off December by heading to Antarctica to check out some space skin that some Norwegians found buried deep in the freezing snow. Little do they know they will be overtaken by an alien lifeform just like in the 1982 John Carpenter classic "The Thing". Thankfully for you listeners, the only real change you will notice is Jef, Josh and Brian may choose some "good" movies more often and oh yeah they are all connected together and are a huge mess of flesh now. But other than those two things, everything you love about the podcast will remain the same, that is until the guys get their silly little flying saucer built out of old hot dog cans and lawn mower engines. So sit back friends, enjoy this episode and let the Forever Midnight Podcast take over your mind and body!

In this episode, the FM3 decided to field some more listener voicemails since it's been a crazy week. The crew kinda loses their shit in this episode and they hope you are along for the ride.

It's that time of year when most folks are diving into a pile of mash potatoes but Jef, Josh and Brian figured they were ready to dive into Eli Roth's 2023 film "Thanksgiving"! Yup, finally a proper Thanksgiving themed horror film with all the fixings plus room for dessert or as they say in Hollywood a "sequel". This episode starts out strong with some killer smells and then finally onto the main course. Jump to the 19:00 minute mark if you wanna skip right to the meat and cranberry sauce of the episode.

It's Gnarvember folks! The time of year that Jef, Josh and Brian celebrate horror movies that feature Heavy Metal and or hard rock bands! This time around the FM3 check out 1987's "Slaughterhouse Rock" starring the one and only Toni Basil! This flick interested our brave heroes because it takes place in SF and on Alcatraz. So of course the guys wanted to dip in and see what hard rock delights awaited them. If you have not seen this one and want to play along you can stream "Slaughterhouse Rock" on Prime Video and ScreamBox. Enjoy!
