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

On our second Festivus episode of Christmas 2019, we're talking Joe Dante's excellent GREMLINS - they're cute and cuddly until they're not! We discuss the Spielberg influence on this film, the puppeteering effects, the other small creature films that came out in the '80s, and more! Sorry for Ryne's echo mic - we had some issues with the mic this episode, all fixed now though. Also, we're drinking the Goose Island Bourbon County Cafe de Olla stout! Listen in because it cost us $25. Tip us some beer money on Patreon.

It's that time of year again! We kick off our third annual Festivus Series by returning and finishing a film franchise we started a while ago: The Santa Clause. This time we torture ourselves with The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause starring Martin Short as Jack Frost. The whole thing is a cartoony festival of the worst elements of the Santa Clause sequels, from the over-the-top set designs to the in-your-face soundtracks. We go through everything that makes The Santa Clause 3 a travesty of a sequel that ends this trilogy. Also, we have Ommegang's Neon Rainbows IPA on the show.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our US listeners! If you're Canadian,  you've already had yours. For this special festivity we're tackling the  OTHER John Hughes film for Thanksgiving that we haven't done yet, Planes, Trains & Automobiles.  Now both of us love this movie and instead of a normal critical review  of the film, we're going to be talking about our favorite scenes and the  things that Hughes gets right. We'll also offer up our own insight into  what we think could have worked better, but for the most part this is  an ode to the movie, with us doing poor renditions of funny stuff from  the film. Hope you enjoy! Approximate timeline 0:00-end All movie, baby!

And so we come to the end of Antholoween, on Halloween no less, with our Tales of Halloween episode. This is the most stories we've seen in an anthology so far, and we do our best to talk about them all individually. We're talking horror cameos, directors, and the good and bad of each story. There are some hits, some misses, but most of all we like the atmosphere. We're also drinking Saranac's Black Forest Cake beer! Thanks for listening to all our Halloween episodes.

We've finally gotten to the actual Halloween anthologies! We're covering Trick 'r Treat,  probably the best Halloween-centric movie to actually accomplish the  atmosphere of the holiday. We talk about all the segments in the best  order we can since they intermingle with each other, and we give our  perspective on how well the film manages its Halloween setting and its  mixed anthology element. Also we're drinking Great Lakes' Nosferatu Imperial Red Ale!

We've already done Creepshow, but moving into the '90s, Tales from the Darkside: The Movie followed the template of that film pretty heavily to the point where it is sometimes nicknamed Creepshow 3. However, we discuss the flaws in this anthology of three short stories, going over each in depth - including "Lot 249," "The Cat from Hell," and "Lover's Vow" along with the wraparound story. While the film has some great effects thanks to KNB, the stories themselves lack creativity - still, we ended up enjoying this one in some ways. Listen in to find out more! And we have 1911's Master's Series Maple Bourbon Barrel Aged Apple Cider.

We move from 1982 to... 1983 in our second '80s anthology film. This time we're going in a little different genre direction, from horror to fantasy, with The Twilight Zone: The Movie. Yes, the most interesting thing about this film is its tragic backstory, but we also dive into each of the four segments to give you an in-depth look at how we feel about each of them (spoilers: two are great, two are meh). We've also got Allagash's Haunted House Hoppy Dark Ale on the show, and it was expensive so you better appreciate it.

Antholoween continues! We're in the '80s now with the highly esteemed anthology film Creepshow, which couldn't have any more big names attached to it. Written by Stephen King, directed by George A. Romero, with Leslie Nielsen, Ted Danson, Adrienne Barbeau, and more, this horror hit emulating EC Comics is pretty much the cream of the crop. We talk each of the five shorts in detail along with the Tom Atkins-led wraparound story. Oh yeah, we're drinking Half Acre's Lagertown Octoberfest as well - though I spill half my beer during the show.

Our second anthology film in our trip through the years lands us in 1972 with Tales from the Crypt, the original adaptation of the EC Comics line of horror stories. This series of five shorts has some hits and some misses, and a curious moralistic view - while a lot of the characters are clearly awful, a couple don't seem to deserve their demise. We talk about each story in detail, including comparing the first short "And All Through the House" to the television series' episode. For our Oktoberfest beer, we've got Erdinger's marzen on the show.

We begin our annual Halloween festivities with the first anthology in our Antholoween series, the 1963 film from Mario Bava Black Sabbath. This one's a slow burn for sure, with all of Bava's familiar tropes - ornate decorations, sexy ladies, unique photography, and ridiculously colorful lighting. Led by Boris Karloff, we're treated to three stories - "The Telephone," "The Wurdulak," and "The Drop of Water." Each of them is quite different from the other, giving Bava reign to try his hand at giallo, Hammer horror, and more supernatural fare. Join us as we talk all three stories. Also in our Oktoberfest segment, we discuss Left Hand Brewing's Oktoberfest marzen.

It's been two years since we covered the first film in the new IT reboot and It: Chapter Two takes us 27 years later after the kids have grown up and forgotten about Derry. But the evil is still festering, forcing them (and us) to come back to see the final showdown. Andy Muschietti's second film doesn't have the same appeal; it has some strong comedy especially from Bill Hader, but that comedy feels overused, losing a lot of the tension of the first film. This overlong movie also suffers from the early decision to break up the kids and adults - in Chapter Two, we're forced to revisit flashback scenes from the first film to put everything into context. On this episode we talk about the film's length, its homosexual subtext, Hader's performance particularly, and a whole lot more about why Chapter Two just doesn't match the first film's success.

We've already done Friday the 13th Parts 1-3 over at the Jay MovieTalk podcast, so we thought for our early Friday the 13th episode we'd go right to the next - and FINAL - Friday the 13th - Part IV: The Final Chapter. This is where we say goodbye to Jason, who does all of the things he normally does except with three different, and disconnected, groups of people. We talk about that disconnect, Corey Feldman, the setup for a Tommy Jarvis-led slasher, the lengthy opening sequences in this film, and a whole lot more. We also have Saranac's Hopskeller on this show.

Yeah, She's All That might seem  like a weird pick for a B&BR episode. But we're a weird podcast, and  we enjoy a wide variety of films. That includes '90s teen romantic  comedies, of course (and we're still itching to do that Mean Girls episode).  Though you might be shrugging your shoulders, looking to skip this  episode, I'd say it's one of our best - we have a ton of fun mocking the  themes in the film, commenting on how Rachel Leigh Cook is definitely  not ugly (and pitting her against '90s-era Jennifer Love Hewitt), and  espousing our love for Matthew Lillard. Have a listen, and let us know  if you like this excursion away from drab and dreary. Oh yeah, and we  have Monument Brewing's 51 Rye on this show.

Also known as The Stranger's Gundown when released with its English dub, Django the Bastard is a 1969 spaghetti western that is sometimes credited as being an important precursor of the supernatural element in spaghetti westerns. However, we mostly see this as a ripoff of the Man with No Name series, including Anthony Steffen trying very hard to be both Clint Eastwood and Franco Nero at the same time. We talk about the lack of Gothic elements that are supposedly in this one, the very lengthy and meandering storyline, and the pretty cool plot element of putting people's crosses up in town before they die. We're also talking Dogfish Head's Slightly Mighty Lo-Cal IPA. And hey, if you'd like to donate us some beer, send us an email at bloodandblackrumpodcast@gmail.com and we'll cover it on the show.

We're taking a look at the second film in the web-slinging Spider-Man series from Marvel. Here Peter Parker travels to Europe and we are loving the washed-out, Eurocinema colors and the risks that have been taken with the character. We also talk about Jake Gyllenhaal's charisma, the teenage romance antics, Mysterio as a villain, the heavy CGI, and a whole lot more.

We were unable to get out to see the new Child's Play film, but we had always wanted to do the original first anyway. So we sat down to devote an hour to America's favorite murderous doll, Chucky, taking a look at the first film in the franchise. No Aubrey Plaza here, but we still remark on all of the great actors in this (Chris Sarandon, Brad Dourif, and his giant-dicked mural) as well as remarking on the kills, the relatively popcorn-esque nature of the film, and comparing this movie to... Candyman! We have a lot of fun on this packed show.

We're back to finish off our Scream Marathon with Scream 4, basically a type of meta reboot in the series. Ryne had only seen this film once so it was interesting to revisit it with fresh eyes. We talk about the new killers, the unique twists, Wes Craven's new references, the return of Kevin Williamson, Gale's normal hair, that other Culkin kid, and more! We do have to apologize for a couple of issues with this episode. You'll notice the quality is not the best this time - we had some major issues with recording in a noisier room and we did what we could to mitigate that. Also, our recording crashed while saving and we lost some chunks of our conversation towards the latter half, which is why you might notice things get a little choppy or unfinished here and there. Regardless, there wasn't much we could do, and we hope you'll be able to power through. We're making some changes to our recordings and hoping to get a little better quality in the future.

We're onto Scream 3, the last of the initially "planned" trilogy and probably the worst film in the series. We discuss (obviously) Courteney Cox's hair, Dewey's limp, Neve Campbell's absence from the majority of the film, the impossible vocal effects, the overwhelming meta aspect resembling New Nightmare, and a whole lot more.

We're back with part 2 of our Scream marathon, which means... yeah, Scream 2 (makes sense). We're here to talk about the inherent goofiness in this  sequel, including the iconic intro, Ghostface's Scooby-Doo-esque  flitting behind people's backs, and the Dewey/Gail love story unfolding  throughout it all. We also talk Dewey's limp, the bland kills, Sarah  Michelle Gellar getting unceremoniously yeeted off a roof, baby-face  Jerry O'Connell, and Laurie Metcalf's pantsuit.

We're starting our Scream marathon off with the original slasher of the '90s, possibly one of the best of that era. While we've done other '90s slasher films previously, this one from Wes Craven and writer Kevin Williamson is the one that made all of the others possible. While we note some flaws that stand out all these years later, we're both still pretty taken with the film as a whole, especially noting that the hour and 50 minute running time flies by. Listen in as we talk all things Sydney Prescott and Ghostface, and stay tuned for the rest of the films in the franchise. *Had some technical difficulties around the 19-22 minute mark with input skipping. This has now been fixed, a few elements re-recorded and cut. Thanks for your patience!
