A movie podcast dedicated to breathing new life into dead formats – interactive movies, made-for-TV stuff, shot-on-video films, that sort of thing. If it’s obscure, bizarre, or almost unwatchable, we want to talk about it.
Chris is joined by George from The Best Little Horror House in Philly and Kron from 5 Day Rentals to discuss the 1994 Japanase children's fantasy sci-fi adventure, Kappa (河童). We've got aliens, we've got coming-of-age, we've got bodily fluids, we've got Tony Shark, we've got it all!

Chris is joined by Murph from The Weekly Podcast Massacre and Rob from Box Office Gross to talk about the first feature film released as an NFT, Kevin Smith's anthology horror film about "the first meme", KillRoy Was Here (2022)! Conceived as a student project at the Ringling College of Art and Design, this film has famously been described as "not good enough for Shudder." You be the judge!
