1 - Dracula (1931)

Voila! In this episode of CadaverCast, 4-year-old Alistair and his Dad are joined by special guest and Al's honorary uncle, Joe Sanders, host of Quote Unquote Guilty. This week, the trio discuss the most recent installment of The Asylum's Sharknado franchise, Sharknado: The 4th Awakens (2016)! The blank-nados, guest stars, and hollow references abound in this made-for-TV disasterpiece that leaves the panel divided with Alistair opposing his Dad and Joe as the movie's sole defender!

You can check out the trio's discussion of the original Sharknado (2013) on Joe Sanders' podcast, Quote Unquote Guilty, here: https://soundcloud.com/quoteunquoteguilty/episode-15-sharknado-2013

2 - Sharknado: The 4th Awakens (2016)

TOMATO! In this episode of CadaverCast, 4-year-old Alistair and his Dad tackle two movies: creature feature spoof Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (1978) and its heavily meta sequel, Return of the Killer Tomatoes (1988), co-starring George Clooney! Though they agree that Attack has a lot going for it where goofy monster movies are concerned, we learn that there's something about Return that rubs Al the wrong way. Listen in to find out how Killer Tomatoes stacks up to Sharknado and just how much Al disliked Return of the Killer Tomatoes!

3 - Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (1978) & Return of the Killer Tomatoes (1988)

What would National Waffle Day be without a side of Kevin Bacon? A disaster, that's what. But don't worry! CadaverCast has got you covered, because this episode finds 4-year-old Alistair and his Dad digging into the 1990 creature feature, Tremors. The film's got everything: giant killer worms, bombs, pole vaulting, Victor Wong, and, oh yeah, an extra crispy serving of delicious Kevin Bacon!

4 - Tremors (1990)

On this special, Gene Wilder memorial episode of CadaverCast, 4-year-old Alistair and his Dad remember the late, great performer as they discuss Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein (1974). Al and Dad talk random musical numbers, classic monster movie aesthetics, and, of course, the things that made Gene Wilder great. Much confusion is had as Al calls both creature and creator Frankenstein, and we also get to hear Al's best creature impressions!

7 - The Fly (1958)

It's Jaws on land! In this super exciting, it's-almost-Halloween episode of CadaverCast, 4-year-old Alistair and his Dad talk about their viewing of William Girdler's Grizzly (1976). Sure, they discuss how Grizzly is clearly just Jaws on land and the bear is often just a guy in a bear suit. But they also reflect on horror movie conventions in general and the connections between Grizzly and other movies they've discussed on CadaverCast! Also, Dad somehow neglects to mention, when discussing Grizzly’s cast and crew, that leading man Christopher George was also in Pieces (1982)! And for that he is eternally sorry.

Happy Halloween from Frankenstein's Monkey Farm! On this super special, surprise episode of CadaverCast, 4-year-old Alistair and his Dad team up with Quote Unquote Guilty to talk about the 2016 installment of their annual horror movie marathon, CadaverCade.

9 - CadaverCade 2016, Part 1

It's Veterans Day and to all you veterans, we want to say we appreciate the heck out of you! On this episode, 4-year-old Alistair and his Dad tackle Ivan Reitman's Ghostbusters (1984) by request of the veteran to whom we are closest: Alistair's Uncle Kyle. A surprising lot of confusion ensues. Why do they look different from the cartoon? Who's the Marshmallow Man? Who's Gozer? Does this pole work? Which one's Ray? Is he the big one? There are just so many questions! But one thing is clear to Al and Dad both: Rick Moranis as Louis Tully/Vinz Clortho is AWESOME!
