Prom Night III: The Last Kiss vol 1 (w/ Puppet Masters/Castle Freaks)
You never forget your first… but some people have forgotten there was a third Prom Night movie! That’s right, for the first of two new episodes this week, we’re happy that Puppet Masters/Castle Freaks’ Jarrod Hornbeck and Steve Guntli have accepted our promposal to discuss how PROM NIGHT III: THE LAST KISS made it to the silver screen. Or at least, video store shelves. Along the way, we explore our feelings about the Prom Night franchise, discuss how Ron Oliver resurrected our favorite Queen, dig into why Lisa Shrage got left behind, and uncover the behind-the-scenes turmoil that ended up giving a producer a co-director credit. All this, plus Twin Peaks casting, Silk Stalkings fandom, USA Up All Night worship, MADtv connections, Sue Snell’s mom, and much, much more! Don’t worry, volume 2 arrives this Friday, so you’ll always get The Last Kiss from us! Part of the BLEAV Network.Get even more episodes exclusively on Patreon!

The Burning (1981)
Summer vacation is in full swing, and we’ve got the perfect episode to help you beat the heat as we light the fires and kick the tires of 1981’s THE BURNING! Along the way, we ask why on earth this movie would have a cult following, discuss why so many doctors want to convince Cropsy to let the past go, debate what the killer’s plan often boils down to “lie down in a canoe for hours,” and examine how the entire movie manages to evoke the mindset of its convicted criminal’s writer/producer. All this, plus spliced-in lightning, dressing like Darkman, fire tumbles, constant leering, inexplicable rope, elder interning, two-pump chumps, and a garden shear-heavy edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!

Patreon Unlocked: Children of the Corn (1984)
Between summer vacations and endless volleyball tournaments, we're running a little behind. But He Who Walks Behind The Rows revealed a great idea - why not let you listen to this Patreon Bonus episode where we try to make sense of the 1984 version of Stephen King's Children of the Corn? Along the way, we try to make sense of Issac's stupid plans, piece together what the economy of Gaitlin, NE must be now, and find new ways to make fun of Peter Horton. All this, plus corn field identification, making it Muppets, bad country fairs, drought resourcing, lousy elder gods, and a husky version of Choose Your Own Deathventure!

Along the way we discover the positive power of manslaughter, we decide what our “surprise Dokken video” outfit would be, take a dip in the au jus fountain, mourn the lack of Evil Fonzies in our adult lives, let Jesus take the wheel when it comes to thread counts on sheets, and this is also the debut appearence of one of the show's favorite characters... f*%khorse!

Send Help (2026)
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls… island time is here. That’s right, we’re crash-landing into a fantastic exploration of the themes and characters within Sam Raimi’s fantastic new film, SEND HELP! Along the way, we explore how the film flips the script on Drag Me To Hell’s capitalist monkey’s paw, compare and contrast Linda’s idea of Survivor gameplay versus a real deserted island, love on Dylan O’Brien’s punchable face, and consider the possibility that the film is just a really odd romantic comedy. All this, plus Strange By Strange, excellent nipple placement, boar juice, plane crash entitlement, Patrick’s terrible Axl Rose impression, and a tropical flavor variant of Choose Your Own Deathventure. So grab a flask of fruit wine with us for calm waves, sandy beaches, and a dash of murder on this week's Kill By Kill! Part of the BLEAV Network.Get even more episodes exclusively on Patreon!

Thank Mary Lou... we're back! That’s right, it's time to revisit all the gory details of 1987’s least likely sequel to a disco slasher: Hello Mary Lou Prom Night 2! Here to escort us to the dance is writer (2023's Five Nights at Freddy's) and director (Tragedy Girls/Patchwork/It's A Wonderful Knife) Tyler MacIntyre as we talk about monocle popping, debate just how clean a bathroom should be on prom night, we coin the term “son-of-a-person arsonist,” and Gena nails a character’s wardrobe as “something you would wear to perform in a Christian puppet show.” All of this, plus a challenging round of Choose Your Own DeathVenture, and you’ve got Part 1 of a Canuxploitation date you’ll never forget!
