A plague of giant mutant rabbits has descended upon the Arizona desert... and only Jon, Ryan, and Kearns can save us (or at least laugh about it). In this episode, the Xenomania trio takes on Night of the Lepus (1972)—a cult horror oddity that tried to make bunnies terrifying. From Cold War paranoia and ecological messaging to unintentional comedy and low-budget monster mayhem, we unpack what makes this film both absurd and strangely captivating.

The guys unravel Barker’s original vision versus the studio-mangled theatrical cut, explore the lore-rich monster pantheon, and tackle why Nightbreed is both a cult classic and a cautionary tale in creative interference. Expect deep dives into monstrous metaphors, a healthy appreciation for latex and leather, and the eternal question: why are the monsters always more human than the humans?

Xenomania Ep. 15 – Phantasm V: Ravager: A Dream Within a Dream In this dimension-warping episode of Xenomania, we plunge headfirst into Phantasm V: Ravager—the final entry in Don Coscarelli’s surreal, sphere-slinging horror saga. Join us as we unravel the layered realities, temporal loops, and haunting ambiguity of Reggie’s last ride. Is it all a dream? A memory? The end—or a new beginning? We talk Tall Man theories, the indie roots of the Ravager production, and the poignant final notes of a franchise that never played by the rules. Expect interdimensional banter, philosophical musings, and a little bit of chrome-fueled chaos. Grab your four-barrel shotgun and step through the tuning fork—the Ravager awaits. #PhantasmRavager #DonCoscarelli #CultCinema #SurrealHorror #TallMan #XenomaniaPodcast #IndieHorror #DreamLogic #MindBendingMovies
