Episode 17 - Leave (2022)

"In the wake of their father's mysterious disappearance, two estranged brothers -- responsible Gordon and reckless John -- reunite to sift through the contents of his stubbornly anachronistic VHS rental store. Among the inventory, they discover an interactive VCR board game, which their father viewed just before he vanished. Intrigued, the boys pop in the tape, press play, and soon discover that, far from an ordinary game, the video is a portal to a nightmarish alternate reality."

Episode 18 - Beyond The Gates (2016)

Bits & Chunks is just a simple podcast where we talk about what we want to talk about and frequently go on lost tangents so... yeah.

In this episode we discuss the Shudder original Superhost, then jump back in time to talk about an underground favorite titled Bloody Muscle Bodybuilder in Hell (aka the Japanese Evil Dead), and finally to the slightly more larger budget 2022 vampire flick, The Invitation.

Episode 7 - Bits & Chunks - Superhost, The Japanese Evil Dead, and The Invitation

Bits & Chunks is just a simple podcast where we talk about what we want to talk about and frequently go on lost tangents so... yeah.

In this episode we discuss Jason's trip to local horror convention, Creep I.E. Con, Clay's obsession with over-the-top Italian modern horror production company Necrostorm that has released insane movies like Tater City, Adam Chaplin, and the Hotel Inferno trilogy, the blessing and curse of "celebrity", and finally delve into the Norwegian werewolf movie currently on Netflix titled, Viking Wolf.

Episode 8 -Bits & Chunks - Creep I.E. Con, Necrostorm Productions, & Viking Wolf

Bits & Chunks is just a simple podcast where we talk about what we want to talk about and frequently go on lost tangents so... yeah.

In this episode we discuss Clay's disastrous attempt to see the legendary band, Gwar and his recent watch of the 1963 movie titled "The Damned". Jason recalls his 7th wedding anniversary and how he and his wife saw Claudio Simonetti's Goblin perform, catching Cradle of Filth at the last minute then posing a deep question: Are newer horror movies such as those distributed by A24 Films pretentious and snobby? Is gore the only factor needed to make a horror movie a horror? Tune in and find out!

Episode 9 - Bits & Chunks: Is New Horror Too Snobby? A Discussion! Also Other Stuff!

The Terrifier movie series follows the sadistic "Art the Clown" as he brutally murders his victims, drawing viewers into a world of extreme horror.

The first film, Terrifier (2016), is notable for its relentless violence and practical effects, showcasing a raw and visceral approach to horror. While it received praise for its intensity and David Howard Thornton's maniacally chilling performance as Art, there was a lack of depth in character development and plot, which detracted from the overall experience.

In Terrifier 2 (2022), the story "attempts" to expand on Art’s mythology and introduces new characters, but some viewers (us, we mean us) felt the lengthy runtime and non-sensical plot left it a plodding mess. The film's ambition to blend horror with dark humor has been met with mixed reactions, and while we appreciated its creativity, it feels very uneven.

Terrifier 3 (2024) expands even more on Art's origins and RE-introduces us to Vicky, who, in our opinion upstages Art in every scene.  Filled with great kill scenes, gore, and a little more of a cohesive plot it still runs a bit too long and could shed about 20 minutes of its runtime.  It is a much more superior sequel in our opinion.

Overall, the series has carved a niche for itself in the slasher genre, appealing to fans of extreme horror, but its reliance on graphic violence along with narrative incoherence may alienate more mainstream audiences.
