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

Sorry our episode is a little late, we had remote technical difficulties due to weather. We're talking the Christmas classic Scrooged for this episode, A Christmas Carol for the '80s which sort of acts as a metacommentary for the Charles Dickens tale. We talk about Bill Murray's asshole character, Bobcat Goldthwaite as a disgruntled employee, our favorite ghost, and of course the value of 5 pounds of veal. We're also drinking a couple different beers on the show!

We had meant to cover this last Christmas and for multiple reasons, it just didn't work out. But on this episode we take a look at the most controversial remake of Black Christmas, the Sophia Takal version released by Blumhouse in 2019. This film got a lot of hate from the people that it criticizes: straight white males. It's no surprise, since it wears its feminist leanings on its sleeve, but this is a pretty inoffensive film for people to level their ire at. And it's not really that bad - it has some homages to the original film (and other horror movies), it has competent direction and some iconic cinematography, and its first 50 minutes are a treat. But we talk about where it goes wrong and what really got our goat (hint: fake snow). Remote episode, sorry for any issues.

It is Festivus time once again! We've got four weeks of... ahem... great films on the way, and to start things off, we finally get to end our longstanding marathon of the Silent Night, Deadly Night series with the loose remake Silent Night! This is definitely not the same film as the original though it has a number of references. We talk about the poor man's actors within the film and the surprising amount of known names, Malcolm McDowell's performance, the interesting special effects, the incredibly dumb backstory, and more! Again, recorded remotely so apologies for any weird audio issues.

Our intention was to do a Thanksgiving movie for the special occasion, but First Blood ain't it. Instead, it's more of a Christmas-adjacent film, but we're not going to let that stop us from enjoying this Stallone classic. We talk about the bike chases, the PTSD, the Stallone memeable monologues, exposition dumps, and a conservative's worst nightmare. We're also drinking Druthers' Apple Cranberry Kolsch, perfect for the season!

As a tribute to Sean Connery, we decided to tackle our first James Bond movie for the show, and Martin decided that the best one would be From Russia with Love. We talk about the spy plot, this Bond caper's tendency to lean serious rather than over-the-top, its context in the history of the Bond series, and a whole lot more! On this show, we're drinking Saranac's new Winter Warmer.

We complete our Reanimated series by going full circle with zombie films. We've tackled the serious types of zombie films out there, and now we're taking a look at a parody of a zombie film with Shaun of the Dead. A classic in every sense and oft-quoted from our school days, the film effectively encapsulates a loving ode to zombie films by playing up their ridiculousness. We're talking our favorite scenes and quotes, the various zombie elements at play, the surprising seriousness of the climax, and a lot more. We also have Genesee Brewing's Twelve Horse Ale on the show.

We're throwing things back for a classic zombie film in this episode of the Reanimated series! We're talking about the first official zombie film White Zombie with Bela Lugosi, and of course we have to talk about the zombie/slave element, the acting, how the film holds up in contemporary context, and a whole lot more! Also, we are drinking Dogfish Head's Campfire Amplifier stout!

We've already covered fast-moving infected for the Reanimated series, but this time they can actually be defined as zombies in Train to Busan. This Korean blockbuster from 2016 passed by both of us when it released, so we get to experience this one for the first time. We talk about the rules of the infection in the film, the comedy and emotional elements, the naivety of its characters, zombie effects, and a whole lot more! We're also talking Decadent Brewing's Apple Cinnamon Doughnut IPA.

We finally tackle the namesake of our Reanimated series as we take a look at Re-Animator, the 1985 horror black comedy from Stuart Gordon that took H.P. Lovecraft's original idea and gorified it up. We talk about the history of Lovecraft's works, the comedy elements that work in the film, the depths of scientific madness, Barbara Crampton (!!!), and of course the special effects. We're also drinking Contra Brewing's Deerslayer Blonde Ale!

This time, we're talking things that aren't quite reanimated; in 28 Days Later, the film borrows a lot from zombie films but technically its threat aren't zombies but rage-infected humans. We discuss the nuances of that decision, what inspirations the film has and what it also inspired, the effect of the early-00s filmmaking techniques, and a whole lot more. We're also drinking Mean Max Brew Works' Strawberry Creamsicle Ale.

Our zombie film coverage continues on with Reanimated Part III featuring Return of the Living Dead. Something of a parody of the zombie genre, Return of the Living Dead features an almost metacritical look at zombies while also redefining  the genre with its undead's insistence on eating brains. We talk about  the gore, the punks!, the great performance from Clu Gulager, and a lot  more! Oh yeah, we're drinking Brown's Brewing Company's #VOTE, a sensible  choice for National Voter Registration Day. Make sure you vote, people.

Continuing our Halloween Reanimated series, we take a look at Lucio Fulci's Zombie, another one of the zombie genre's defining films. And we watched it using Blue Underground's 4K UHD release, so you know we were able to appreciate every facet of its imagery. We talk about the famous scenes - eye-gouging, shark-fighting - as well as break down the influences to the film, its gore, pacing and plotting, and a whole lot more! Horror aficionados will be horrified at Martin's rating and never listen to us again. We've also got Zero Gravity's Oktoberfest and Genesee Brewing's Dry-Hopped Cream Ale on the show.

We're back! We're kicking off our Halloween season with Reanimated, a series of films focusing on zombies and/or close relations to zombies, and the first in that series is Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead! We're talking the storyline, the fast-moving zombies, Ty Burrell in a non-Phil Dunphy roll, the relation to Land of the Dead, and more! Also, we have Founders' Oktoberfest on the show.

It's another St. Patrick's Day and that means another Blood and Black Rum Podcast episode on the Leprechaun series. This time we're up to Leprechaun 5: Leprechaun in the Hood. Ryne was sort of dreading this episode having seen the film before, and we actually struggle with what to talk about about this truly bad movie. However, we do manage to conjure up an hour of discussion about the song "Lep in the Hood," the blaxploitation references, Ice-T doing what Ice-T does best, and more! We're also drinking Goose Island's Lost Palate IPA on this show. Big thanks to Podcorn for sponsoring this episode.

We've been talking about doing this episode and we finally got to it - Parasite,  the Best Picture winner from director/writer Bong Joon-Ho about rich  and poor, upper and lower class, and everything in between. This is a  complex film from its story to cinematography, and we try to break down  our favorite elements from it as much as possible. There's a lot to  dissect, so it's best to watch the film and then listen to our show  right after.

We wanted to make sure we tackled Valentine's Day with a special episode, and since we've already done My Bloody Valentine we decided the next best thing is 2001's Valentine, a slasher film that utilizes the classic holiday themes of '80s horror films with a lot of homage to those movies. We talk about the killer, the gore, the red herrings, and a whole lot more in this special romantic episode of the podcast. We've also got Dogfish Head's American Beauty Hazy Ripple IPA on the show!

We said we'd do the 2019 Child's Play at some point after we were unable to cover it during its release due to the theater's projector issues, and here we are! Only a few months late. However, we were particularly surprised by this reimagining of Chucky the killer doll, who is transformed into an uncanny valley-style smartbot rather than a voodoo serial killer. While we admit the themes are sort of on-the-nose, this Child's Play is decidedly entertaining and, for the most part, just a lot of fun. We're also drinking Stillwater Artisanal's Shoegaze farmhouse-style pale ale!

We're going in a bit of a different direction with this episode.  Instead of tackling gruesome horror, we're dealing with sobering  real-life tension with the melancholy and overtly realistic divorce tale  Marriage Story. We were thrilled by this Noah Baumbach drama,  especially with Adam Driver's performance. We talk about the overall  themes of the film, how it relates to Baumbach's similar previous film The Squid and the Whale, and a whole lot more.

We're back! It's 2020 and we finally have a new episode. Yes, we had to skip Black Christmas 2019 but we decided to go a bit farther back in time to 1958 to cover the original The Fly starring  Vincent Price, Patricia Owens, and David Hedison. We talk about the  shocks and surprises of this grisly classic, Price as the straight man,  the interesting red herring murder mystery, and more! We also have  Rogue's Santa's Private Reserve 2019 (a dark ale with candy cap  mushrooms) which we were going to do for Christmas before Ryne had twins  and couldn't do any more episodes!

Our Festivus Series carries on and we technically finish off the Silent Night, Deadly Night franchise with our episode on Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker! This DTV horror film from 1991 has only a tenuous connection to the series but it does at least have a crazed Santa and a bunch of killer toys in very '90s fashion. We're not super stoked on the film but it does have a few good elements to it. We talk about everything from the insane car explosion to Mickey Rooney!
