Episode 206 | Top 10 Horror Movie Chase Scenes
Catching up on last month's Patreon's Choice episode: The Top 10 Horror Movie Chase Scenes, where Zack and Tim will go through their favorite chase scenes, along with some honorable mentions. A lot goes into crafting a great chase scene, and it seems to be a lost art form in the horror genre these days. Most studio execs would sooner trim them down for a shorter runtime, and most filmmakers take a more formulaic approach. So we really wanted to get some deep cuts for our selections, which we ...

There's a new Resident Evil movie out right now, and we're primed to talk about it.

Also, as always, we've picked out the most loathsome characters from the film, so join us at the end of the episode in voting for which one was the most deserving to die. If you would ...

The Resident Evil franchises is rebooting once again with a brand new movie coming out this week. So what better a time to cover the original than now?

Episode 202 | Buddy (2026)
We went and checked out the new horror movie, Buddy, so we could tell you all about it. Could this be the start of a new franchise, or is it a fleeting gimmick that will mostly be forgotten. Join us as we weigh in on our thoughts of the homicidal orange unicorn that is continuing this year's trend of low budget indie horror. Also, as always, we've picked out the most loathsome characters from the film, so join us at the end of the episode in voting for which one was the most deserving to die....

Episode 201 | The Spiral Staircase (1946)
For this month's Patreon's Choice Episode, we are talking all about The Spiral Staircase from 1946. This is the oldest movie we've covered on The Cherry Picker, and we were both surprised to see how influential it was on many popular slasher films. The horror genre owes a lot to this movie, and we were happy to have our supporters nominate and vote for this one. Also, as always, we've picked out the most loathsome characters from the film, so join us at the end of the episode in voting for wh...

There's always lots to talk about when it comes to the Scream-adjacent 90s slasher, and now with more perspective than before. If you've been here since the beginning, or are just discovering the podcast, THANK YOU for being part of this exciting journey. We couldn't have made it this far without you.

Episode 199 | Happy Birthday to Me (1981)
We're celebrating Tim's birthday this week (even though we're a little late) with the 1981 canuxploitation film, Happy Birthday to me. This one is a bit of an anomaly, but it's also really fun, and we had a great time reviewing it. If you love low-budget Canadian slashers from the 80s with giallo influences, then you will feel right at home with us in this episode. Also, as always, we've picked out the most loathsome characters from the film, so join us at the end of the episode in voting for...
