Blood And Black Rum Podcast - A Cult Film / Horror Podcast

It's not quite time for the creepy season yet, but we wanted to get a jumpstart (and a jump scare) with 2016's The Autopsy of Jane Doe, which is a movie that packs a wallop with a nude body that doesn't actually do anything and yet still maintains its eerieness. We talk about Andre Ovredal's atmosphere throughout, the clinical way that this film picks apart the dead, the supernatural witch elements that pepper the film later on, and a whole lot more. We're also drinking the Equilibrium/Parish Brewing Company collaboration beer Ghost in the Laboratory, a double IPA with all kinds of Citra! Approximate timeline 0:00-10:00 Intro 10:00-20:00 Beer talk 20:00-end The Autopsy of Jane Doe --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/support

To end our KaiJune festivities, we turn to a remake of a classic '50s American horror film that, in our eyes, crosses over in similarity to traditional kaiju films. The Blob is revitalized in this violent, practical effects-laden movie about teenagers attempting to stop a giant monstrosity that continues to grow as it feeds on townspeople, and here we talk about the large cast, the excellent Thing-like SFX, the themes of government, and how this hews to a kaiju movie. We're also drinking Sam Adams' new Summer Adventure Lager and Take-a-Day IPA! Approximate timeline 0:00-8:00 Intro 8:00-18:00 Beer talk 18:00-end The Blob That concludes KaiJune!

For this episode of KaiJune, we wanted to cover something a little different and outside of the usual definition of a kaiju film. So we're tackling one of the staples of the Nuclear '50s with Them!, about giant killer ants in the New Mexico desert. Here we discuss the effects, the immediacy of the film's plotting, the colorful cast of the film, the Red Scare elements throughout, and a lot more! We're also drinking Ommegang's OMG Series Frozen World Double Cold IPA! Approximate timeline 0:00-11:00 Intro 11:00-22:00 Beer talk 22:00-end Them! Next up for the final episode of KaiJune: The Blob (1988)! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/support

We continue our coverage of KaiJune with a look at Guillermo del Toro's anime-influenced Pacific Rim, a combination of Godzilla-esque kaiju monsters and Neon Genesis Evangelion type mecha battles. We talk about the obvious use of CGI, the film's everyman main character, the length of the movie, the variation of these new kaiju aliens, and a whole lot more. We're also drinking Busch Light Peach! Approximate timeline 0:00-8:00 Intro 8:00-15:00 Beer talk 15:00-end Pacific Rim Next up, the American nuclear '50s with Them! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/support

Our second foray into giant monster movies finds us jumping to the Heisei era for the rebirth of Gamera in Gamera: Guardian of the Universe, 15 years after the end of the original series. Here we find Gamera fighting Gyaos yet again but with all new backstory and science fiction mumbo jumbo; we talk about the film's penchant for delivering a lot of science talk, its lackluster special effects that vary from guys in suits to plastic action figure-like appearances, the unnecessary romance, and a lot more! We're also drinking Beer Tree Brewing Co.'s Color Spill: Tiger Blood Fruited IPA! Approximate Timeline 0:00-10:00 Intro 10:00-16:00 Beer talk 16:00-end Gamera: Guardian of the Universe Next in KaiJune: Pacific Rim! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/support

We start our celebration of kaiju films from the very beginning, with the 1954 Godzilla from director Ishiro Honda. We discuss the film's merits and also some criticisms of the loose narrative structure; we also talk about the film's origins after World War II, its direct associations with nuclear bombings, the use (and confusing science behind) the Oxygen Destroyer, and a lot more! We're also drinking Kirin Ichiban beer, which is unfortunately the export brewed by InBev instead of the traditional Japanese lager. Approximate timeline 0:00-10:00 Intro 10:00-17:00 Beer talk 17:00-end Godzilla Next up, we're taking on Gamera! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/support

We're doing a double-feature of Ari Aster flicks, and the one we're starting with is 2019's Midsommar! This folk horror tale about a bad breakup is surely inspired by The Wicker Man, but Aster goes above and beyond with a sprawling tale or cultural rituals that draws from historical fact. We talk about the film's pacing, its metaphors on grief and empathy, the realistic gore, and that gut-punching opening sequence. We're also drinking Tree House Brewing's House Beer Lime in Tequila Barrels! Approximate timeline 0:00-7:00 Intro 7:00-15:00 Beer talk 15:00-end Midsommar Next up: Aster's Beau is Afraid --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/support

The weather's getting hotter and that means we're covering some sultry stuff on the show. We're tackling a '90s/'00s nostalgia trip with Cruel Intentions; if you grew up with Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Dawson's Creek, you most likely have in some way been impacted by the sexy trashiness that is this movie. We're talking the burn book plot devices, Ryan Philippe's character as a groomer, the soap opera magnitude of the script, and a whole lot more. We hope you enjoy our foray back into this cult trashic. Approximate timeline 0:00-11:00 Intro 12:00-20:00 Beer talk 20:00-end Cruel Intentions Next up, we'll be covering a two-week Ari Aster twofer with Midsommar and Beau is Afraid. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/support

We'll come right out and say it - we weren't huge fans of Evil Dead Rise. In this episode, we attempt to document exactly why it didn't work for us. We know we seem to be in the minority here, but there were just some things that didn't fit, even besides the fact that this film really only feels like an Evil Dead movie in name alone. We talk about the gore, the lack of character reaction, the misuse of the apartment setting, and a whole lot more. We're also drinking Ommegang's Gnommegang Belgian Blonde Strong Ale! Approximate timeline 0:00-12:00 Intro 12:00-23:00 Beer talk 23:00-end Evil Dead Rise Next time: Cruel Intentions! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/support

We're a little late to Robert Eggers' 2019 opus The Lighthouse, but after watching it we both became instant fans of this psychological thriller/lonely men drama about two lighthouse keepers stuck on an island with potential supernatural elements. We talk about the various themes and interpretations you can come away with after watching the movie, the excellent performances from Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe, the beauty of the film's cinematography and Canadian landscape, and a whole lot more. We hope you enjoy this episode and encourage you to watch the film! We're also drinking Equilibrium Brewery's Astronomical Twilight, a sour IPA with watermelon, strawberry, and lime. Approximate timeline 0:00-10:00 Intro 10:00-20:00 Beer talk 20:00-end The Lighthouse Hopefully next up: Evil Dead Rise! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/support

For this episode, we're talking about Sam Peckinpah's notorious classic psychological thriller Straw Dogs! Dustin Hoffman and Susan George star as a couple terrorized in Cornwall after they find out the locals are just as prone to violence as Americans. We talk about the themes, that r* scene that got the film an X rating, what Peckinpah means by the film's conclusion, and a lot more. We're also drinking the Fidens x Vitamin Sea collaboration Ducks & Axes!

We ventured out to theaters as Courteney Cox requested to see Scream VI and we have some opinions. If you remember from our episode on Scream (5), we were a bit mixed on how we felt about that one and we're pretty much the same on this one too. There are some hits, some misses, and we talk about a lot of plot holes throughout. Also - why is Danny in this movie? We're drinking Thin Man Brewery/Replay Brewing's Cute and Fuzzy Bunny Gang Carrot Cake Sour! Approximate timeline 0:00-15:00 Intro 15:00-25:00 Beer talk 25:00-end Scream VI --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/bloodandblackrum/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bloodandblackrum/support

We're late on Black History Month but that's no reason to skip a blaxploitation movie. This time we're talking 1971's Shaft starring Richard Roundtree as the titular hero. We talk the black hero of blaxploitation, the film's significance, the Isaac Hayes soundtrack, groovy boobs, and a whole lot more! We're also drinking Yuengling's Hershey's Porter!

We're doing a poliziotteschi for our new episode, a genre we have never done before. This time we're taking on Umberto Lenzi's Almost Human (AKA The Executioner, The Death Dealer, Milan Hates), which was recently released on Blu-ray by Severin Films. We talk about the film's vigilante politics, its focus on a sociopathic criminal, the Ennio Morricone soundtrack, and a lot more! We're also drinking Sierra Nevada's Cryo Hop Torpedo IPA!

If it seems like deja vu, that's because Groundhog Day was last week and we missed our chance to get this episode up. However, in the spirit of the film, we're doing it now - and you'll like it! Here we talk about the seasonal seminal favorite Bill Murray movie that set into motion all of the other "reliving the same day" movies; we discuss the gaslighting going on in this movie, its classification as a romcom, the excellent assholeishness of Murray, and a whole lot more. We're also drinking New Belgium's new Fat Tire Ale recipe! This episode is edited with Adobe's podcast AI!

We said we were doing a giallo, and we were semi-faithful; while Dario Argento's Inferno isn't technically a giallo, it does have facets of one. We talk about this sequel to Suspiria and find new enjoyment in accepting the movie for what it is - a different take on the Three Mothers, with a unique approach to the subject matter that drives more into the dream-like than reality. We're discussing the crazy antics, the beautiful set design, some elaborate kills, and a whole lot more. Pair this with our previous episode on Suspiria for a great double-feature. This podcast was edited using Adobe's Enhance Speech AI! We're also drinking Mortalis' Hydra: Strawberry + Blueberry + Boysenberry sour.

It's yet another Friday the 13th, so we might as well pick up where we left off! 3 years ago (wow!) we covered Part IV, and it's only fair we give the Jason-less A New Beginning a fair shake. Here we talk about how much the film beats you over the head about Roy, the enchiladas, the improperly-run mental health clinic, Debi Sue's Voorheeses, and more! We're also drinking Saranac Brewery's throwback Black and Tan!

When you think New Year's, you think a fresh start... growth... a chance at redemption. None of these things are present in Ghostkeeper, nor is there much New Year's celebrating. However, it is one of the few New Year's-related horror movies left to cover, and we couldn't help but check out this movie that includes a Wendigo creature that... doesn't really do anything. We talk about the slow pace, the snowmobiling, Marty being an asshole, and a whole lot more on this special New Year's episode!

For our last Festivus episode in 2022, we're tackling the six-part miniseries The Santa Clauses! Of course, it's a tradition for us to cover Tim Allen's holiday output and this is no different. We are pleasantly surprised by this Disney+ series and we attempt to document our enjoyment over the course of this 2.5+ hour show. We talk about Mrs. Claus, Bernard's return, the Yule-verse, attempt to understand how much money was left on the table by Judge Reinholdt, and a whole lot more. We're also drinking KCBC (King's County Brewing Collective)'s Here Comes Santa Claws DDH IPA! Approximate timeline 0:00-12:00 Intro 12:00-20:00 Beer talk 20:00-end The Santa Clauses Festivus may be over but we will return for the last episode of 2022 next week... Note: from this point on we will not be adding episode numbers to our titles, since King Apple wants it that way. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/bloodandblackrum/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bloodandblackrum/support

We are talking about one of John Landis' finest comedy films and one that takes place during the Christmas season, Trading Places!
