HTWDT 50: Flash Gordon (1980) Masters of the Universe (2026)
Hello Whole Damn Family, this is something a bit different for our 50th episode! We decided to get nostalgic about our childhoods and explore these two movies. Honestly, this is the most fun we've had making an episode, and it shows! Does the campy nature of Flash Gordon (1980) still hold it strong? Can Masters of the Universe (2026) match it in goofy wonder? These movies may have more in common than you think. Only one way to find out. Listen and laugh, both with us and at us as we talk heavy behind-the-scenes stories and lore on Flash Gordon and Masters of the Universe. Oh and Mike Sings Flash Ahhhhhh!!

HTWDT 49: Audition (1989) Obsession (2026)
Hey, Whole Damn Family, this is just a casual rom-com weekend double feature. Just some light entertainment. Nothing heavy or freaky here...The first half of the show, we both watched Takashi Miike 's Audition (1998) for the FIRST TIME! Wow okay, well, we were prepared because we knew. To ease us into it James does some relaxing Haiku. After that, we call the One Wish Willow help line and talk all about the box office record-breaking sensation that is Curry Barker's Obsession (2026). Is it all hype, or is the hype legit?

HTWDT Episode 48: 1408 (2011) Hokum (2026)
Hey, Whole Damn Family! This episode, we are inviting you to stay the night with us in two haunted hotel rooms! First, we explore the grab bag Stephen King pulled from to get 1408 (2011) , starring John Cusack, and then we head over to the Emerald Isle for Damien McCarthy's latest Hokum (2026), starring Adam Scott. Both of these films have more jumpscares than a haunted trampoline...Someone call Stephen King we have an idea for him in a creepy gym!!

HTWDT Episode 47: Cabin in the Woods (2011) and They Will Kill You (2026)
Hey, Whole Damn Family! Don't let the title of the first movie fool you, there's a lot beneath the Cabin in this horror trope, Sam Raimi-inspired, zombie redneck torture family feud in the woods movie. Directed by Drew Goddard, Cabin in the Woods (2011) is a fun one, and we add a little insight into the making of it. There's also a lot going on with the Samurai Tarantino spaghetti-western Shaw Brothers action-horror movie. They Will Kill You (2026) by director Kiril Sokolof.

HTWDT Episode 46: The Evil Dead (1981) Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026)
Hello, Whole Damn Family. This episode, we have an all-time classic! Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead from (1981). Luckily, James discovered an old reel-to-reel with the synopsis on it. So he plays it. Don't worry, we didn't play the Latin parts, so you're "marked safe from being turned into a Deadite" by this episode (we think). In the second half of the show, we discuss (2026) Lee Cronin's The Mummy, which is just as evil and almost as dead. Mike sings again (that should keep the Deadites away). The boys definitely have a good time talking about these two. There are also some good behind-the-scenes tidbits in this one. Want to support and buy some show swag? Check out our store!

HTWDT Episode 45: Train to Busan (2016) 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026)
Hey Whole Damn Family. All aboard for this episode, making stops in old TV references, Korean action-horror, and more of Mike singing (we're not saying that's a good thing). First up is the Korean classic Train to Busan (2016), which is destined for an American remake soon. After that, we do a spoiler-free version of Director Nia DaCosta's new film 28 Years Later : The Bone Temple (2026), followed by us ruining the whole damn thing. Mike also makes call out to a Korean ruler to join our Patreon and win a shirt...are you him? If so let us know! Want to support and buy some show swag? Check out our store!

HTWDT Episode 44: The Ring (2002) Undertone (2026)
It's AV night for the Whole Damn Family. First, it's old-school videotapes as we adjust the tracking on this underrated classic. We say underrated because its Rotten Tomatoes score is crap, and we cannot figure out why. With heavy hitters like Gore Verbinski, Naomi Watts, and makeup FX by Legend Rick Baker, it's (2002) The Ring, which of course is a remake of a J-Horror classic Ringu. We break down a lot of this movie and even talk about Ringu's original inspiration beyond just the novel by Koji Suzuki . Our newer match-up for this video selection is audio only, with Undertone (2026), the new low-budget film released by A24. We get deep into the backward masking and find the hidden messages of this new film directed by newcomer Ian Tuason and starring Nina Kiri from The Handmaid's Tale.

HTWDT Episode 43: Natural Born Killers (1994) The Bride! (2026)
Hey, Whole Damn family! This episode is two hardcore punk rock, bizzaro, movies about relationships and love. Do you like Sid and Nancy or Bonnie and Clyde or Simon and Garfunkle? Then walk down the aisle with us on this one. We got some great behind-the-scenes of both of these movies. Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers from 1994, based on a Tarantino (heavily rewritten) script, learn some wild tales that went into making this movie you may have forgotten about. And then we get into Maggie Gyllenhaal's, The Bride! (2026), yeah, it's tanking at the box office, but it's so worth seeing. This movie deserves more than it got. Mike isn't just saying that because he worked on it. You'll learn what went into recreating the classic monster with a new vision and feel. There are some shoutouts at the end, maybe we yell your name?! For more upcoming Bride makeup FX pics and more!
