We try to avoid rumors. We have no issues talking about speculation from unnamed sources, but just straight up gossip and fan casting isn’t really our thing. That is what the internet and social media is for. But if it involves a couple of our favorites, we have not choice but to chime in.

There are a number of criminally overlooked characters in Hollywood. The most underused may be the Universal monsters. Everyone knows who they are - Dracula, Frankenstein, the Wolf Man - but they never seem to get their just due. This is especially true of the Mummy. Are things about to change?

Heist movies tend to be a lot of fun. Unfortunately, we have not covered many bank robbery movies on our humble little podcast. And this year’s attempts at Christmas horror have frankly fallen flat. To end the year, we found something that checks off both boxes.

There are a lot of shocking things about 1961’s Cash on Demand. And the fact it was made by the renowned Hammer Film Productions may be the least. The story of a cold bank manager who has to deal with a charming bank robber does not sound all that original. Cash on Demand makes it work with strong performances, wit, and great characters.

After talking about a disturbing dream involving Tom Cruise, we talk about movie franchises. There is talk of the MCU, Aliens, and Universal monsters, but what’s really on our minds is what is next for the M3gan Universe. We also share our memories on 28 Days Later and discuss the upcoming sequel.

Christmas may be the second spookiest time of year, but it is still surprising just how many holiday horror movies are out there. Just when you think you have heard about all of them, Tubi shows you there are way more than you could ever imagine. It is overwhelming. Until you see a movie called The Elf in which the titular character goes on a killing spree.

If only it were as simple as it sounded. What should be a silly holiday horror watch turns into a serious character study about….paranoia? Maybe? It is easy to say The Elf makes no sense, but that would be an insult to every nonsensical movie ever. The acting is awful, there seems to be no script, and things move painfully slow. On the plus side, there is a cool kill involving gift wrap.

We may not be card carrying members of the UFO community, but we enjoy hearing stories about extraterrestrials. The Program had promise. UFO documentaries have to contain a certain amount of sensationalism, but this one seemed like it would be a little more grounded. And there was some good stuff here. It’s unfortunate that it relied so much on old tricks.

We loved The Substance. The performances were fantastic, the story was entertaining, and the effects were great. It was sexy, funny, and gross. Its slew of Golden Globes nods have us very excited about the movie and the future of genre cinema. Final Destination 6 is a different story.

Ray Wise and Lin Shaye in a holiday horror movie sounds like a great idea. As a matter of fact, Dead End from 2003 does a lot of things right. Creepy road horror tends to be fun, there is a good kill or two, and there are even some funny moments. Unfortunately, the bad outweighs the good.

The film does not get the atmosphere right until it is just about over, most of the gore is told instead of shown, and none of the comedy seems to be intentional. Worst of all is the title. It is so on the nose that it will end up slipping by some people. To top it all off, it has the type of ending that pretty much everyone hates.

Replicator gets off to a great start. This is quickly followed up by a looooooong courtroom scene that ruins all the goodwill that was built. As it turns out, the open was just a tease while what followed is a more accurate portrayal of what the movie actually is. And that is not even the worst of its problems.
