The Extended Version or Cannes Film Festival Version runs 139 minutes (this version was erroneously called the 'director's cut' when Elite Entertainment released it on laserdisc). It was assembled to premiere at the 1978 Cannes Film Festival and is something of a workprint. It contains many extended scenes and the soundtrack is almost entirely library tracks.   The U.S. Theatrical Version, which George A. Romero considers his definitive cut of the film, runs 127 minutes and was the version released in American theaters in 1979. It contains a mix of both Goblin's soundtrack and several library tracks.

Four is an appropriate score.  In all seriousness, a better movie than the 1978 classic, just because it holds up and is more fun (what is more fun than a Where's Waldo scene with "Burt Reynolds" being shot in the head?).

Gear up, listeners, because we are talking about Longlegs--where the titular character is So evil, 
Nicolas Cage, who plays him, said he never wants to play a character like that again.  This movie takes plot twists to a whole new level and is shot to amp up the scares and tension, but we have some hot takes as well.  There were a couple areas where we wanted more from this movie and we'd love to see a prequel to fill in some gaps about Nicolas Cage's character.  So Nicolas, please reconsider and do another movie so we can see more of you!  Paired with a Birthday Cake Martini.

Longlegs

On our search to find a scary vampire movie, we had a listener recommend Nosferatu--so we watched it, duh!  We always watch horror movies that are recommended to us by listeners (hint, hint)!  Our opinions were split on this movie, sorry Bill Skarsgard, our decomposing, mustachioed horror boyfriend!  We agreed that the artistry was beautiful and we appreciated some of the unique takes on this old tale, but one of us thought this movie was so boring that no even Willem Dafoe could save it.  Paired with The Mustache cocktail.

Nosferatu

In our newest episode, Allison decided to scar Marie for life by making her watch Insidious.  This 2010 paranormal horror has scares for days leading up to the climax, but do they fall off when they're needed most?  Even though the end of this movie is scary AF, we aren't sure if the sequels are worth a watch or if we should chalk Insidious up to a wannabe Poltergeist.  Listen up as we debate whether the ghosts or the worst dad ever is the scariest part of this movie and discuss just how misunderstood the lipstick-face demon is.  Paired with a Lipstick-face Demon Cocktail.

Insidious

If you are a door-to-door salesman, including of religion, you may want to skip our newest episode on Heretic.  This recent horror movie will have you second guessing what you think is happening, and in general, whether or not it's a horror movie.  the lead character could not have been better cast; Hugh Grant portrays such a charming and unassuming figure, you wonder if you should actually trust him.  This movie, while interesting, raised a lot of questions for us--including who really deserved to die?  Paired with a Panties Unleashed cocktail.

Heretic

To our esteemed 2025 graduates, we dedicate this episode to you!  This week, we're talking about the 1980s movie (we refuse to call this a classic, cult or not), Graduation Day.  This movie has it all: mystery, creative kills, the world's smallest roller-skating rink, and the longest musical performance in a movie that's not a musical.  Unfortunately none of it works.  Paired with a Rum Runner cocktail.  Please excuse our poor sound quality and enjoy Allison's dog's last podcast appearance.

HAPPY FRIDAY THE 13TH!!!  As has become the tradition with each Friday the 13th, we watch our man, Jason, with our husbands and comment on the film to release a special bonus episode.  Paired with a Corpse Reviver No. 2.  We had a lot of fun with The Final Chapter, which is arguable the best of the franchise.  Please make a cocktail and watch along as we comment on this classic 80's horror film.

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter Commentary

Get in, loser, we're going...to the mall and never leaving because there is a zombie apocalypse going and and we have all our basic needs met is what the main characters of 2004 Dawn of the Dead SHOULD HAVE said.  Instead, they come up with a subpar plan and chaos ensued.  This movie pulls no punches and is quick to get to the action.  Listen up as we discuss Ving Rhames (can't get enough of him), zombie babies, and the fine line between helping obviously dead people and keeping others alive.  Paired with a Lake Michigan Froth.

Dawn of the Dead

Listen, we are not saying this is a cinematic masterpiece.  One of us doesn't even think this is an entertaining movie.  But 2014's Zombeavers has elements that you will never see coming, and the terrible characters will have you cheering for those zombie beavers (even though the special effects may leave a bit to be desired).  This movie is fully self aware and creats the most unlikely unbeatable villain in beavers.  Get ready for two wild cameos and some quotes that will live rent free in your brain for weeks!  Paired with a Split Beaver cocktail.

Zombeavers

In honor of the recent release of Final Destination: Bloodlines, we decide to watch the OG Final Destination!  This movie was a great blast from the past, and it was cool to see faces that are now flying under the radar.  The first 10 minutes of this movie were tense and anxiety-inducing.  Listen up as we discuss all the stuff we learned about how fate/death work in the movie, how death uses liquid and winds, and how we never pass up an opportunity to ogle horror icon Tony Todd.

Final Destination

Stop everything you're doing and watch Sinners right now!  This week, we dive into the best movie we've seen all year.  Even those who don't like horror should give Sinners a watch.  It perfectly combines different storylines into a perfectly cohesive and hypnotizing journey.  Yes, it has vampires, but it has so much more than that.  We better see this movie nominated for awards season.  Paired with a Smokestack cocktail.
