HTWDT 53: The Hitcher (1986) Strange Darling (2023)
Hey Whole Damn family! We bent the rules a little bit because James had always wanted to do Strange Darling (2023) so here we are with what is a banger of a double feature, matching it with The Hitcher (1986). On this episode, we learn not to pick up hitchhikers and not to go on a one-night stand from a bar. Life lessons from HTWDT. We also get help from our friends at both Slash U and I Wanna Be in the Sequel. We talk about movie character names, we get into some Squatch Lore, and we challenge you to something at Applebees...listen and find out how to win!!

HTWDT 52: Demons (1985) Evil Dead Burn (2026)
Well Whole Damn Family. We've done a lot of things, both Evil and Dead, this year, and the tradition continues this episode! We start with the Italian Dario Argento/Lamberto Bava gore fest Demons from (1985) Can you believe growing up with Mike, James had never seen it! What will he think? Is it too old school for him to jive, or does the ending of this movie push him over the edge with 4-cylinder wind-in-your-hair and katana-in-your-hand joy? After we get possessed by an ancient mask and an old Latin book. We crack the flesh-bound cover on another old Latin book, with (2026) Evil Dead Burn. We totally feel the burn on this one and give you the goods in spoiler-free, Whole Damn Thing style reviews. Special guest stars are Bobby (Tony the Pimp) Rhodes and terrible Italian and French accents. Want to support and buy some show swag? Check out our RedBubble store! Click on 'Explore Designs.'

HTWDT 51: Cube (1997) Backrooms (2026)
Hey Whole Damn Family! When we heard about Backrooms, we immediately thought of pairing it with this low-budget, smart, and successful sci-fi thriller, Cube (1997), and we think we were on the money with this one. Fans of Robert Loggia, rejoice; we open up a gem from the vault that maybe you don't know about. What's it got to do with Cube or Backrooms, you might ask... nothing, it was just another tangent. Speaking of tangents. We also wrote a Vin Diesel movie before we moved on to the second movie, Backrooms (2026). We fall into some deep tangents in the Backrooms as well; some involve history lessons, and we were wrong, but don't worry, we fixed it! There's lots to unpack in this weirdly sci-fi horror mixtape of an episode.

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!!
