In our final segment we hand out series superlatives, rank the 8 films we've covered, and then announce our next ONE OFF MOVIE. That's right, we're gonna cover a single non-franchise movie before we cover SCREAM VI. 

The day is here folks! The 69th Episode Spectacular, celebrating a full year of Kill Streak, the podcast, and countless more years of compromises made in the name of physical intimacy. We were gonna bake a cake and throw a big party with streamers, but we forgot :(   However, we did remember to watch and recap "Child's Play," the beginning of a huge series! We had a lot of fun talking about Chucky the killer doll and we think you will too. Then after the movie, we debut a BRAND NEW segment called "Hellevator Pitch" where we come up with some hot new ideas for movies about evil toys.

Wow, would you look at that...we're done with the Friday the 13th series! What's that? *checks notes* Wow, we're 1/3 of the way through the Friday the 13th series. Join us as we recap this star-studded return to Crystal Lake and find out if the even numbered entries in this saga continue to hit the mark. And then as a bit of a nightcap, Eric quizzes Price on Roger Ebert and his encyclopedia of bad horror takes!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! We conclude our 2 months of Stephen King films with the one directed by the man himself: Maximum Overdrive! Boy howdy, this movie is a g'dang mess! But do we think there's some wheat hidden amongst the chaff? Sorry, I was trying to be folksy like Mr. King. 

In our final segment we give out some Series Superlatives, rank all of the films we've covered in our Stephen King series, and announce the next series we're covering!

Brothers Duane and Belial leave their hometown in Upstate New York for the clean, welcoming streets of New York City in this classic heartwarming tale of brotherly love.

Sidney is back in Woodsboro and can you believe it…PEOPLE START GETTING KILLED BY GHOSTFACE! This week we are joined by host of The Vam-Petey Diaries himself Peter Harmon! 

The time has come to pull our Chuckys out and rank them. You will be shocked when you hear our personal lists, and soothed when we work through our differences and assemble our canonical Kill Streak rankings. Stay tuned to the end to hear the announcement of our next series. It's a big one!

Johnny Smith awakens from a five year coma with the ability to receive psychic visions, including Martin Sheen in crazy striped pajamas! This week we're covering the distinctly non-horror The Dead Zone. Master of body-horror David Cronenberg helms what might be one of the least Cronenbergian movies in his filmography (at least we think. We haven't seen Fast Company).

Finally, we discuss TV shows that made the jump from the silver screen to the boob tube.

Happy Halloween!

Old is new again! There’s nothing new under the sun! Nothing (g)old can stay, Ponyboy! Sooner or later, remake/reboot culture will come for us all, and in this episode, we cover the remake/reboot/re-box-officing of Friday the 13th, the ACTUAL FINAL Friday film (for now). Then stick around to hear Mike and Eric’s ideas for horror films that might be more deserving of the remake treatment.

Brace yourselves, listeners, as the Friday the 13th franchise unlocks an entire dimension, heretofore unused by the denizens of Crystal Lake. THAT'S RIGHT, 3D! Luckily, Eric and Price will be there every step of the way, to lead you through the wild and wondrous world of THE THIRD DIMENSION! Together you'll dodge snakes on fishing line, yo-yos, projectile eyeballs, and harpoons on fishing line. Then, in the late segment, Price quizzes Eric on the highest-grossing 3D horror of the 80s through today.

What do you get when you take the creators of one of the best indie horror movies ever, give them ten times the budget to make a sequel, and set them loose in the woods of North Carolina? If you guessed one of the single greatest horror comedies of all time, you guessed right! And this week on Kill Streak, we dive DEEP into the making of "Evil Dead II" and all the thrills, chills, and Bruce Campbell spills that happen along the way. Then in our late segment, we lovingly carve a Mt. Rushgore of Horror Hunks out of the hardest of rock.

Join us as we begin our foray into the Psycho franchise. First up, of course, the all-time classic Hitchcock thriller (proto-slasher?) PSYCHO starring the wonderful Anthony Perkins. Full disclosure: I accidentally wrote "Anthony Hopkins" before I caught myself.

In our 3rd segment we discuss our favorite Hitchcock films.

A little known movie about a mayor in distress.

So you thought you were a big shot and went and outsmarted Death's design? Well, guess what, dipstick? Your goose is cooked! Devon Sawa and his little friends are hunted by DEATH ITSELF in this Glen Morgan and James Wong helmed FINAL DESTINATION! If you wanted to know exactly what it looked like to be in high school in the year 2000, Mike and Eric confirm that this is accurate, minus all the death and dismemberment.

In our final segment we face off in a probably problematic game of plane movie trivia! 

Start spreading the news...this movie blows! Batten down the hatches, as Eric and Price brave the stormy seas of the Pacific Northwest in this laughable shitshow of a motion picture that has exactly one scene shot in NYC. Then stick around for some ‘Staff Picks’ as the boys recommend some better ways to get that New York fix you’ll surely be craving after this stinker.

Jack's back! That's right, your old pal Jack Frost is up to his old tricks once again, this time on a tropical island (Santa Clarita, California).

In our final segment we wrap up the year by naming our favorite non-Kill Streak horror movies we watched in 2023, our favorite Kill Streak movie we watched in 2023, and best and worst series we covered this year.

We're off for 2 weeks! Enjoy the holidays.

On this week’s episode we do a deep dive on goth rights with the Blair Witch sequel that never should’ve been. It’s chock full of half-assed orgies, death owls, and Marilyn Manson B-sides. Then, a cherry on top with an all new installment of “Colon Exam.” Enjoy!

Join us as we celebrate our 100th (basically) episode! We give our personal Best/Worst/Most Suprising movies, play Scored to Death and give each other Colon Exams!  We love you all. Apologizes for weird audio during the Scored to Death segment! It is what it is!

Join us in the year 1980 for the one that started it all! And then stick around as our special guest Ryan Martin (the voice of Kill Streak!) uses his encyclopedic knowledge of horror movie music to test Eric and Price on the first-ever edition of "Scored to Death."

On this week's very special episode, Eric and Price start by shooting the shit about what they've been watching and playing outside the pod. Includes such classics as...Kevin Bacon and trophy wives! Why the Dark Universe sucks! Exploitation, poison bum wine, melting hobos, and trigger warnings! Price spends too much time and energy ranking the Star Wars Skywalker Saga! And many more!

This week on the pod, it's the final installment of the Phantasm franchise and BOYYYYYY is it a hot mess!

We here at Kill Streak openly admit that we don't watch a ton of pre-1960s horror films, so this one is a little out of our "comfort zone". How did it play for us? Listen and find out!

Hot off the heels of the blockbuster smash, this sequel slashed it's way into theaters the following year. The surviving cast is back plus we have a who's who of mid-late 90s actors.

Put out the cheap booze and neon colored sunglasses, it's time to take a trip back to the distant time of 2010 and party! SPRING BREAK, BABY! This movie is truly sleazy, and not just because the Weinsteins produced it. A real killer cast, a ton of nudity, and a ton of gore. What's not to love? Well...listen and find out. Also we talk UNCOMFORTABLE VIEWING EXPERIENCES! 

Tune in this week to hear our hot takes on one of the most infamous director vs. studio shitshows in all of horrordom, "Alien 3." Is this the worst Alien movie? Probably not! Is this the worst Fincher movie? The answer to that probably depends on your stomach for Brad Pitt as an old man baby hijinks! Is this a weird, fucked up, interesting to think and talk about movie? Definitely! After our breakdown, stick around to hear about the brand new "Kill Streak Hall of Shame," and how you can help decide who gets inducted!

In the latest October commentary, we sit down with the HILARIOUS Mookie Blaiklock (host of YOU ARE WORTHY with LilMookieB) and dissect the cult classic Killer Klowns from Outer Space!

After the movie, we play a round of "Bela Lugosi's Dead," a segment that definitely WASN'T conceived name-first, then working backwards from there.

Eric is sick! Today's episode is delayed. Pray for Mojo!

Gingerdead Man might be the perfect COVID series, because having to watch these movies is not dissimilar to having to suffer through the discomfort and offense of this year's pandemic. BUT! This episode was fun to record. Much more fun than the process of watching these movies. And stick around for after the movie, because we've got a...TWIST ENDING! Happy holidays, Kill Streakers!

The Gingerdead Man series is...still bad! But sometimes bad movies are the most fun to talk about. Is that the case with this week's episode? Only one way to find out: listen in! After the movie, we attempt to right some wrongs with some Staff Picks, where we run down some better options if you're looking for a horror movie about filmmaking.

What a glorious mess of a movie! In this episode, Eric and Price walk the audience through one of the most maligned entries in the entire series.

Rushgore" of body horror directors.

Charley Brewster and Peter Vincent are back and beset upon by even more sexy vampires! There's like 4x the number of sexy vampires in this one! Halloween III: The Season of the Witch director Tommy Lee Wallace helms this college-set sequel. Like H3, it was a massive flop, but is it a low-key masterpiece like that one? Listen and find out! 

Hooooooo boy! This movie is a real doozy. Famously panned by critics, it's considered one of the biggest flops in horror movie history. Is it worthy of the rabid criticism it's received? Listen to what we think! Stay tuned for the final segment, where we dust off one of our favorite games: THE COLON EXAM!  Fire up the sychronizer and vibe with us, wont you?

Stay tuned until our 3rd segment unveil something very very special. Hivahaw nìmwey!

Our big January Drac-Off comes to a close this week with famed director Francis Ford Coppola's wild gothic romance of the early 90's.

But that's not all this jam-packed episode has to offer!

This week we're talking about the first half (about 92 minutes in if you're watching on Max...up to the bathtub scene...you'll know the one) of the 1990 TV miniseries adaptation of Stephen King's magnum opus IT! This was initially aired over 2 nights, so that's what we're doing too!

The first episode of John Carpen-tober is here! In this one, we unpack Christine and attempt to answer one of life's big questions: exactly how scary can a movie about a killer car be? The answer may or may not surprise you! Then afterwards, we do a Mt. Rushgore of Stephen King adaptations and announce the film and guest for our first live commentary, coming this Thursday!!!

We close out the Re-Animator series with the largely overlooked direct-to-video/cable stepchild, "Beyond Re-Animator." If nothing else, it's a solid title!

NOTE: No new episode next week. Mike is shooting his movie!

What happens when you mix your meta-slasher film with a satire of Hollywood? You get Scream 3!

We're talking deep-fake level. 

In the 3rd segment we discuss a very special music video for a song on the soundtrack! What if you listened?

"This time, it's plural." With this unforgettable catchphrase, James Cameron and his collaborators gave birth to the archetypal action blockbuster, and paved the way forward for the highest grossing horror franchise of all time. Does "Aliens" still hold up 35 years later? Yes, duh, of course it does. Listen along with us and we take you behind the scenes of the biggest sci-fi/horror/action extravaganza ever made, as well as into the dark recesses of Eric's perverted mind. Then after the movie, we do a quick "Chop Quiz" of the 10 highest grossing horror series, Family Feud-style.

EDIT: Apparently the film's catchphrase is actually: "This time, it's war." Everything else still stands though.

This is the film that spawned 5 sequels. Is it any good? Listen and find out.

WE ARE BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER! You know who else is back? Charles Lee Ray aka Chucky...and he has company. The boys break down Ronnie Yu's BRIDE OF CHUCKY in which the franchise is taken in bold new directions. New Directions. hah. Say that out loud. Listen to the end to hear Mike and Eric's thoughts on THE OTHER (1972), the randomly selected movie from John Stanley's CREATURE FEATURES and find out the next random flick they're doing next. CUE THE ROB ZOMBIE MUSIC! 

This week on the pod, it's the penultimate Phantasm film, coming a cool 19 years after the release of the original! It's a big jump into the future, but this film also spends a lot of its time dwelling on the past. Does it make for a perfect blend of old and new, or tonal mishmash of '79 and '98? Listen to find out! And then stick around after as Eric's basement gets crowded in the special-est of special final segments!!!
