Get out of the ocean and into a pool, because we are talking about the iconic film, Jaws!  We are closing summer 2024 out with a classic beach movie (is it really a beach vacay without a movie about a killer shark??).  The American Film Institute may call the shark one of the top ten villains of all time, but we disagree.  You're going to need a bigger speaker to listen up to all the on-set drama, traumatic Universal Studio experiences, and weird attractions to fake older fisherman.  
Paired with our best attempt at a copycat Outback's Aussie Jawsie Cocktail.

Jaws

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.

Sinners

We have another viewer request locked and loaded!  We watched The Monster Squad, an off-brand monster movie, where kids take the helm.  This movie is peak 80s chaos, and we have lots of thoughts.  Actually, we may have only one thought that we repeatedly talk about.  Listen: we aren't going to apologize for saying hymen more than any two people should in a short timespan.  This is either the worst podcast episode we've ever released...or the best.  Paired with a Black Hole cocktail.

The Monster Squad

We are back with another listener request: Arachnophobia!  This 90s classic has us debating over who deserves to die, whether John Goodman is a hero, and just how much authority spider doctors have.  Between giggling at sentient spiders and corpse colors, we did agree that Jeff Daniels is a real daddy in this movie.  Paired with a Spider Venom cocktail.

Arachnophobia

Our Halloween posting spree continues with A24's Talk to Me. This movie begins with a bang, and the special effects are on point. This movie is chock full of creepy imagery, jump scares, and unfortunately for our main characters, awful decisions. But what do you expect? Their frontal lobes aren't developed! Listen up as we discuss just who the main villain is and why it's not good to listen to ghosts. Paired with a Little Brother cocktail.

Talk to Me

Next up in our Halloween month is the 1980s classic, Poltergeist.  Listeners, this is the OG Insidious with a better dad.  Yes, we know that by current standards, the parents make mistakes, but hey, it was the 80s!  It was completely normal to send your kid off in a taxi while standing on your porch waving goodbye!  This movie has great scares and still holds up today - a true can't-miss horror movie!  Paired with a Poltergeist Potion cocktail.

Poltergeist

Get your Halloween candy ready, and keep the jack-o-lanterns lit, because we are discussing Trick 'r Treat!  This multi-story movie is quickly becoming a Halloween classic.  It's a fun take on the different stages of Halloween people go through as they age, complete with cautionary tales.  Listen up as we talk about how cute lil Sam is and how much we love when people get their comeuppance.  Most importantly, make sure you show your Halloween spirit or Sam will get you!

Trick R Treat

For Devil's Night, we are releasing the OG Evil Dead.  This is totally a childhood trauma movie, and one of us may be over it, while one of us is definitely not.  Besides the multiple eye close-ups, the filming techniques hit, and here is where we disagree--the makeup is unsettling.  We may not agree with every aspect of this movie, but there are 2 things we 100% do: Scott sucks and we totally would have survived this movie!

The Evil Dead

Welcome to A Toast to Horror: Crapshoot Edition.  In the episode, much like the movie we discuss, what can go wrong will go wrong.  We start off with sound quality issues and Allison forgets her notes, and everyone hates the movie.  Listen to some polarizing opinions with some poor sound quality on The Monkey.  This movie was lacking in everything, but imaginative deaths.  Paired with a Drunken Monkey cocktail -- the drink is the best thing about this episode!

The Monkey

We've discussed some wild movies during our tenure as horror podcast hosts, but 1981's Possession takes the cake.  This movie is unlike anything we've ever seen, and we could barely string a coherent plot out of it.  Having said that, we could not look away from this movie and all the wtf moments in it.  We confidently say this movie isn't for everyone, but everyone should watch it--even if it is to take a selfie toward the end to see what face  you make when the climax hits.  Paired with a Rocking Chair cocktail.
