Really Awful Movies: Ep 486 – Children of the Corn II

That's it folks! After 10 excellent, fun-fueled years, I have decided to hang up my cleats (or rather, turn off the mic) and put this show to rest. Really appreciate everyone listening! Episodes will remain online for at least a year or so. All the best...

On this episode of the podcast, two films that represent two of the three archetypes of the modern horror film, Longlegs and Halloween Ends. Tune in and sub!

Welcome to Wrexham. We start the new year with something a bit different, a documentary (sorta) about a Welsh soccer club. And efforts by actors, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, to revive the team's fortunes.

Happy Friday. Thanks for tuning in, once again. Today's episode, a brief outreach about where the Really Awful Movies Podcast is heading as we progress to year's end. The show is nearing 500 episodes and a decade (!) in existence...so... Seeking feedback for how or if the Really Awful Movies show should continue, and what kind of direction I should take it in. All feedback, constructive criticism, praise, plaudits, indifference, accepted. Feel free to reach out on Facebook's Really Awful Movies page, by commenting on this post, or via Instagram at HorrorandAction. Taking a short break, hope to hear from you soon and see you in the New Year.

On this episode of the Really Awful Movies Podcast, the quirky 2021 feature, The Advent Calendar. A paraplegic woman, Eva, who works a humdrum job at an insurance company, gets a strange gift from her best friend: an advent calendar she purchased in Munich, Germany. Every midnight, Eva opens a door and finds a different kind of chocolate. And of course, much more, as this strange box is a cursed antique.

This week on the Really Awful Movies Podcast, another sequel in a well-known horror franchise: Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice. Time for some hicksploitation... And it comes in the form of a "corny" sequel to an 80s quasi-classic, featuring a bunch of rustic, Bible Belt folk. Tune in, and subscribe! (if you're interested in a discussion of the first Children of the Corn, give it a listen)

Happy Halloween! And Happy Halloween III: Season of the Witch is the subject of today's show. On this episode of the Really Awful Movies Podcast, a look back at this idiosyncratic (and still underappreciated) sequel from the 80s. Topics: Tom Atkins Halloween-related films that are not in the Halloween franchise John Carpenter's anthology series vision Blumhouse's take on the franchise and much more!

Ah, the comfort of an '80s slasher. This week on the podcast, a star-studded flick, The Initiation - which features the combined forces of Clu Gulager (Return of the Living Dead) and Vera Miles (Psycho, Psycho II). And in the lead, the incomparable Daphne Zuniga (Spaceballs). On this episode of the show: Greek culture (not the country, or the yogurt...but frats and sororities). Variety in 80s horror College campuses in the horror genre YouTuber, Geekin' with James Hancock A Cut Below: a Celebration of B Horror Movies, the new book by Daily Dead's Scott Drebit Volunteering for research studies The iconic poster art

Today on the podcast, a mockumentary (or rather, a rockumentary) that is undoubtedly one of the funniest films ever made. Turn this up to 11, as the Really Awful Movies Podcast dives into This Is Spinal Tap, a master class in improvisation and character development.

This week, The Black Phone. From the director of the Ethan Hawke-starrer, Sinister, this is one of the better Blumhouse productions (not saying much, to be fair). On this episode, a dissection of the at times quite excellent horror/thriller.
