The Grave Plot Podcast

Episode 183 - Werewolves Within/Bloodthirsty

It must be a full moon because a brand new episode of The Grave Plot Podcast has suddenly sprung up, and it's an impromptu Week of the Werewolf!
First up though, we've got Real World Horror about a chilling murder that feels more like something out of a mafia movie than a true occurrence. In Horror Business, we discuss the new Evil Dead Rise plot details and casting news, plus news on Blumhouse's attempt at rebooting The Exorcist franchise. We also break down the poster for Jordan Peele's next film Nope, examine the remake of Dead Space, and break down the small screen adaptation of the book "Final Girl Support Group."
Then things get hairy as talk about two new lycanthropic films. Up first is Bloodthirsty, about a pop singer trying to overcome writer's block while simultaneous dealing with the fact that she's either suffering from delusions or is, in fact, a werewolf. Up next is the horror-comedy Werewolves Within, based on the game of the same name and taking a look at small town drama and distrust.
So get ready to howl at the moon with The Grave Plot Podcast!

Episode 182 - Lake Mungo/A Dark Song (Patreon picks)

Here we go again with this shit.
At least once a year, we let Jesus take the wheel. Or, more accurately, we let our Patreon patrons take the wheel and decide what movies we'll be reviewing. This go-round, it's Lake Mungo, chosen by Max Zaleski, and A Dark Song, chosen by Kevin Nesgoda.
Before we get to those, however, we've got to get to Horror Business, including discussing a new Netflix documentary about the recent "proof" of UFOs' existence in Real World Horror. We also take a look at yet another unofficial Night of the Living Dead sequel, an exciting collaboration from two of our favorite filmmakers, and a big screen adaptation of a haunted smart house horror novel. We close out with two stories surrounding another of our favorite filmmakers, Mike Flanalanadingdong, or Mike Flanagan for short.
So buckle up, Sally, 'cause it's gonna be a bumpy ride with another funk-filled episode of The Grave Plot Podcast.

Episode 181: Funhouse/Stay Out of the F**king Attic

"Are we having fun yet?"-Nickelback, 2001
...Sorry.
Anyway, the Grave Plot boys are back and we just wanna party with you! We kick things off with Real World Horror and discuss not the first, but the SECOND uncovering of a massive First Nations burial ground in Canada. Following up in Horror Business, we discuss the new film re-adaptation of a Disneyland/world favorite, an upcoming Supernatural prequel series, the rebooting of a classic blaxploitation franchise and if one can even be made in today's sociopolitical environment, the small screen adaptation of Interview with the Vampire, and some upcoming horror-themed game shows, courtesy of none other than TOMMY BLUM.
We also take some time to pitch our own horror game show and the sticky DOOM that comes with it. That'll make more sense later.
In our film reviews, we talk about the Shudder exclusive, Stay Out of the (FUCKING) Attic, as well as the reality show themed film, Funhouse.
So strap on your party hat and get ready to Safety Dance, because The Grave Plot Podcast is ready to burn this bitch down!

Episode 179 - The Reckoning/Benny Loves You

 
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do. Luckily, even though SkeleTony is out this episode, Taylor won't have to do a number one as he enlists the services of Kevin Nesgoda to fill in the role of co-host. Taylor and Kevin tell you the coolest place to find a COVID-19 vaccine... as long as you live in Romania.
 
In Real World Horror, Kevin talks about the Love Has Won cult from Colorado and the curious thing they did with their leader, Mother God. In Horror Business, the boys discuss Robert Egger's new film, Darren Lynn Bousman's plans for the Leprechaun franchise, and a head scratching reboot from a major studio. There's also a look at two sequels that neither of us ever expected.
 
For our film reviews, we talk about Neil Marshall's alleged return to horror with the witch hunt era period piece The Reckoning. We also discuss the off-the-wall killer teddy bear film Benny Loves You.
 
So kick back, grab a cold one, and enjoy another new episode of The Grave Plot Podcast.
 

Episode 178 - We Are the Flesh/We Are What We Are

¡Hola! Welcome to the first ever Grave Plot Podcast Cinco de Mayo special! In honor of today's holiday, we're talking about Mexican horror and even, gulp, drinking tequila.
Before we get to all that, though, we gotta talk Business - as in Horror Business. In Real World Horror, we talk about a UK homeowner who made a very startling discovery under their house while digging a drainage hole. We also discuss a George A. Romero film being... brought back to life (get it?). We also tell you all about the new clickbait horror anthology from the makers of WNUF Halloween Special, give an update on the new movie based on Disney's Haunted Mansion, and discuss a new vampire film (dubbed by Taylor as a "blue color Blade") starring Jamie Foxx and Snoop Dogg. Finally we take a look at the possibility of Adam Wingard returning to the... sigh... MonsterVerse.
We then head south of the border for our Cinco de Mayo film reviews! First up is the very... um... polarizing film We Are the Flesh, featuring a homemade underground cave and the depravities that take place therein. Up next is We Are What We Are, the story of a struggling family trying to deal with the loss of their patriarch. Oh, and they also maybe eat people.
So grab yourself some cervezas and join us for another brand new episode of The Grave Plot Podcast!

Episode 177 - Jakob's Wife/Lucky

Do you know where you are? You're in the jungle, baby! Wake up and grab a steaming hot cup of Grave Plot Podcast to start your day.
After some rambling about vaccines and home repair, we kick off Real World Horror with Elon Musk's business partner discussing the possibility of starting a real life Jurassic Park which makes us ask, has he seen any of the movies?
In Horror Business, we discuss a new movie that's we're not saying is about aliens, but... ALIENS. We also talk about Mike Flanagan's next project, updates on the Goodnight Mommy and Slumber Party Massacre remakes, and we're still trying to figure out what an NFT is thanks to Kevin Smith and his new horror film.
Oh, did someone say horror film? Okay, let's talk about horror films. First up we've got the new vampire flick starring icons Babs Crampton and Larry Fessenden, titled Jakob's Wife. We follow that up with the time loop home invasion mind bender known as Lucky.
So buckle up, buttercup, for another rip-roaring episode of The Grave Plot Podcast.

Episode 176 - Wrong Turn (2021)/Psycho Goreman

Hey, kid. Yeah, you. Wanna know a secret? Lean in close and we'll whisper in your ear a brand new episode of The Grave Plot Podcast.
We open up by mourning the loss of makeup artist Cleve Hall. Cleve was the first celebrity we ever met at our very first ever Crypticon so he holds a special place in Grave Plot lore. We move on to Real World Horror to talk about the pitfalls of trying to sell a haunted house.
In Horror Business, we discuss a new horror-comedy starring the Foo Fighters, a new haunted house film from the legendary Sam Raimi, and a new sequel series to The Guest. We also break down the new Resident Evil film and lament yet another spin-off (or two) of The Walking Dead.
We then head to the theater for our film reviews, where we talk about the new remake/reboot/re-imagining/re-whatever the fuck of 2003's Wrong Turn, as well as try to wrap our minds around the absurdity of Psycho Goreman.
So come along on a fantastic voyage through the wonderful world of The Grave Plot Podcast.

Episode 175 - Extra Ordinary/Wake Wood

Who do you think you are? We are! Welcome back to the Grave Plot for the big 1-7-5.
We kick off the episode with a bunch of nonsense about vaccines and other irrelevant rantings. Finally, we get to Real World Horror, where we talk about the latest chapter in the TRUE STORY of The Amityville Horror (cue eye roll). In Horror Business, we discuss Rob Zombie's rumored Munsters movie, a TV series based on Let the Right One In, and a Frankenstein-esque film featuring Willem Dafoe and Emma Stone. This, naturally, led into a discussion on Disney villains. We then give our opinions on a new Predator comic series and a miniseries based on R.L. Stine's Just Beyond series of graphic novels.
In our film reviews, we head off to the Emerald Isle for our annual St. Patrick's Day salute to Irish horror. First up we talk about the resurrection thriller Wake Wood, a 2009 movie about a pagan ritual gone wrong. Who would have thought? We then review the supernatural comedy Extra Ordinary, featuring Will Forte as a Satan-worshipping music star and the ghost hunting duo that serves as his foil.
Oh yeah, we also drank a bunch. Because it's St. Patrick's Day.
Enjoy!

Episode 174 - Sacrifice/The Stylist

Oh well they're back. The men behind the mask. And they crawled out of their hole.
We start things off with Real World Horror, where we talk about the slightly creepy act of having dinner with wax figures at a New York steakhouse. We move on to discuss a couple horror films coming to the new Paramount+ service, yet another Stephen King adaptation coming to Netflix, and a reboot of Silent Night, Deadly Night. We also give our opinions on a new Jeepers Creepers movie and the new cast of the Chucky TV show coming to Syfy.
For our reviews, we start off with the Lovecraft-inspired Sacrifice, starring the iconic Barbara "Babs" Crampton. We then take a look at Jill Gervagizian's feature length adaptation of her own short film The Stylist.
