The Grave Plot Podcast

Episode 105 - Shrooms/Grabbers

Oi there, ya right bastards! In honor of this weekend's Saint Patrick's Day, we're off to the emerald isle to talk about a pair of Irish horror films!
First off, we talk about Horror Business, including a story of tech coming to life with people's Alexa-powered devices defying their commands and laughing at them in Real World Horror. We also discuss the theory that A Quiet Place is a secret Cloverfield movie, The Dark Tower TV series, and the future of Evil Dead. We also go on a tangent about the future of The Walking Dead and close out with news of a remake of Fear.
Then we get to our film reviews, where we talk about the Ireland-filmed horror-comedy Grabbers, about space squids who hate booze so a whole town gets trashed to fight them off. Speaking of getting fucked up, we also do Shrooms. I mean... we review the movie Shrooms.
So put on your green, make some corn beef and cabbage, and grab a glass of whiskey to enjoy a craic new episode of The Grave Plot Podcast!

Episode 104 - The Ritual/Victor Crowley

It's time to play the music, it's time to light the lights. It's time to meet the Muppets on The Grave Plot Podcast tonight.
We kick things off with a Real World Horror story about a woman in Oregon who found herself looking like the poster child for The Strain. We also have not one, but two stories about teddy bears causing havoc and horror with updates on the Five Nights at Freddy's movie as well as a new Joe Dante-produced film Teddy Bears are for Lovers. We also talk about a new book presented by R.L. Stine, yet another Sharknado, and - believe it or not - a new Stephen King adaptation.
Originally we intended to have two Kane Hodder films for our reviews, but due to the delay in Death House's release, we only have one. We talk about Adam Green's latest film in the Hatchet franchise, titled Victor Crowley. We also discuss the latest from Netflix and director David Bruckner, The Ritual.
It's time to put on makeup, it's time to dress up right. It's time to get things started on The Grave Plot Podcast tonight.

Episode 103 - The Loved Ones/Valentine w/ Lynne & Kristin

Happy Valentine's Day, loves! In honor of this day of romance, we've invited our respective significant others to join us. Neither are horror fans so of course they jumped at the opportunity to watch some horror movies!
For our special edition of Real World Horror, we talk about zombie deer and elks and moose as well as monkeys with super herpes. In Horror Business, we give a Women in Horror Month shout out to Roxanne Benjamin, who is releasing her first feature film. We also talk about a Child's Play TV show, a new Purge, and what's next for Victor Crowley. Finally, Lynne and Kristin take the lead on a story about the sequel to Hocus Pocus. 
For our movie reviews, we discuss a couple of holiday favorites. Up first is the Denise Richards slasher Valentine from 2001. Our second film is a bit of a stretch to consider a Valentine's Day film but it's all about love so we're going to count it. It's director Sean Byrne's The Loved Ones. 
So grab some chocolates, pour a glass of champagne, and cuddle up with a brand new episode of The Grave Plot Podcast. 
Enjoy your VD.

We also discuss a new Romero taking on the throne, some vampires coming to the small screen, and Mike Flanagan's next Stephen King adaptation.
Our movie reviews are a family affair, as we discuss Nicolas Cage and Selma Blair going crazy in Mom and Dad. For our second movie, we discuss some trouble makers who could have used some more mom and dad time in Bad Apples.

We do 100 with two movies deserving of such an honor, horror classics The Shining and The Exorcist. Listen as Tony tries (and fails) not to compare the movies and books and we generally just gush over these two films. You've seen them before, but you've never seen them through the Smirnoff Ice fueled eyes of the Grave Plot boys.
Oh yeah, did I mention Smirnoff Ice was involved?
We also talk Horror Business, including an update on the Slender Man attacks in Real World Horror.

We also have stories on a World War Z video game, a dark new story out of Riverdale, and an American remake of a Korean thriller.

Episode 98 - Freddy vs. Jason/Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead (Patreon picks)

You know what makes this country great? Freedom of choice. And today, we gave that freedom to two of our Patreon patrons.
We let our patrons choose the movie reviews for this episode. After collecting a pool of nominations, we randomly drew Freddy vs. Jason, chosen by Max Health, and Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead, chosen by Lance Dale. Considering some of our past Patreon picks episodes, it could have been a lot worse.
But first, Horror Business. We start things off, as we are wont to do, with Real World Horror about a ship made of bones and carrying a crew of p-p-p-pirate ghosts. Or something along those lines. We go on to discuss a new TV show from Blumhouse, a documentary about Jason Goes to Hell, and which character from The Walking Dead will be paralyzed by Fear. We then try to figure out what the hell Ridley Scott is doing to his Alien franchise, and talk about a new live-action Scooby-Doo movie. There's actually quite a bit of Scooby-Doo in this episode.
So give it a listen, enjoy, and if you want to pick our next episode, head over to patreon.com/graveplotpodcast. Cheers.
