28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026)
Fear is the new faith, bones are the new money, and so are the worms! That’s right, it’s knife crime after prime time as we speak to Old Nick about one of 2026’s best horror flicks so far, Nia DeCosta’s 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE! Along the way, we discuss how Duran Duran can shape an apocalypse, debate why Patrick can’t pull off a blonde wig, reminisce about Sigourney Weaver’s insanely hot Alien³ fashion shoot, and explore how we’re relating to the zombie genre as parents. All this, plus zooming doomerism, shifty grifters, chest fileters, bone credenzas, and then we go full heavy metal on an all-new edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!

Friday the 13th Part 5 vol 5 (w/ Zach Powers) redux
We hate for it to go, but we love to listen to our redux coverage of Friday the 13th Part 5: A New Beginning leave. That's right, we're welcoming our pal Zach Powers (of The Revisionists podcast) into the BARN OF DOOM to talk about the last 20 body-dumping minutes and really ask the heard questions, like what type of Pokemon Jason is, consider where Part 5 to Mrs. Doubtfire connect as stories, dig into why this supposed NJ township has banned bras, and debate a Halfway House’s need for a mobile bed of spikes. All this, plus crotch stabbings, breathing corpses, "hallway handball," and an all-new, all-not-that-different edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! It's a tractor to the chest's worth of fun!

Misery (w/ Cooper Tomlinson)
Listen up, buster! We’ve got a great episode for you, but it does contain undignified language. That’s right, we remain unhobbled as we discuss one of the best Stephen King adaptations of all time, 1990’s MISERY. Here to help drag us out of the snow and back into bed where we belong is one of the stars of the new horror film, OBSESSION, Cooper Tomlinson. Along the way, we explore how the story went from page to screen, unpack the many cockadoodie layers of Annie Wilkes, consider the alternate versions of Paul Sheldon, and uncover the secret subgenre of the finished film. All this, plus popcorn rations, the horror/comedy connection, the Annie Industrial Complex of the internet, leaving behind what you no longer love, Francis Sternhagen appreciation, and a well-composed edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure! Folks, believe us when we say we’re your biggest fan… if you listen to this all-new episode of Kill By Kill. Get tickets to OBSESSION here. Watch That's A Bad Idea sketches here.

Friday the 13th Part 5 vol 5 (w/ Jackson Stewart & Patrick Bromley) redux
It's the section of FRIDAY THE 13th PART 5 so nice, we recorded this episode twice!! That's right, it's the return of this special edition of our New Beginning coverage and bringing on two great guests to help us: the leader of F This Movie, Patrick Bromley, and the co-writer/director of Beyond The Gates, Jackson Stewart! Both of them love Part 5: A New Beginning, and they’re here to defend the indefensible as we decide if this movie has an “accidental snuff film” feeling, debate whether anyone involved in the movie has ever met another human being before, compare notes on our new favorite band “Panda” and finally get to the bottom of the weirdest #GetBunked committed to film! Also, is this the only Friday film to feature the breathtaking art of mime? All this, plus we go to town on a new Choose Your Own Deathventure, and you’ve got the best way ever to celebrate Friday the 13th EVER!! Listen to the F This Movie podcast and read the blog here!!
