EP60: Ghidorah, The Three-Headed Monster

Konichiwa! Now drop those sushi rolls because terror’s coming to Tokyo once more and only Matt and Jason can truly bring you the kaiju assault with their commentary on the 1964 release of Ghidorah, The Three-Headed Monster. Like a cross-dressing Venusian, we reveal way too much, including movie trivia, the human side of monster films, cooperating co-hosts, girls who are funny (and hot), stereotypes, Jason’s strange “cleansing” diet, how to become Emperor of Japan, “get-along” juice and other stir-fried shenanigans. It ain’t over ’til the Mothra Twins sing and, once they do, get ready for some recently-watched DVD talk from your handsome hosts. OHIO!

Make it a double feature by also listening to EP17: Destroy All Monsters

EP59: Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter

Under extreme duress, people are capable of extraordinary behavior. But, going after Crystal Lake’s most infamous killer will take more than just nerves of steel and a bad haircut. You’ll need horny teenagers for bait, an arsenal of home and garden tools for weapons, and some twisted advice from Matt and Jason contained in their commentary for 1984′s Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter. Enter the morgue as your handsome hosts slide open the drawer so you can identify movie facts, Zito’s neck, slasher favorites, metal in horror movies, advice for slutty teens, cinematic misdirection, the Coreys and other dismembered parts. Could this really be the last chapter? Listen in and find out.

SPECIAL: Whit Bissell Retrospective

What can be said about Whit Bissell? He’s been in some of the greatest films ever made. He had amassed decades of movie and television credits. You’ve seen his face many, many times. Whatever you’re watching, he’s probably in there. Somewhere. Somewhere in the back, maybe? Look carefully. Wait… there he is! And to be sure, Matt and Jason have gotten out their manly magnifying glasses in this Terror Transmission special retrospective on the man himself. Check in for actor background, filmography highlights, movie clips and the usual booze-drenched hilarity you’ve come to expect from two men who are unjustly loose in the general population.

Including clips from: Destination Tokyo | He Walked By Night | The Lost Continent | Creature from the Black Lagoon | Target Earth | Invasion of the Body Snatchers | I Was A Teenage Werewolf | Monster on the Campus | The Time Machine | The Outer Limits: Nightmare | Soylent Green | Psychic Killer

EP58: Black Christmas

At Pi Kappa Sigma, our girls pledge themselves to service, grow in poise and confidence, keep their sense of values and, on occasion, must deal with a homicidal crank caller or two. Yes, sorority life can be difficult, particularly during the holiday season, and that’s why Matt and Jason wish to ease you into a cheerful position with their morally questionable commentary on 1974′s Black Christmas. Join the sherry-soaked slumber party as your lecherous hosts fill you in on movie background and trivia, Canadian wackiness, perverse squirrels, banana toes, teen-seducing English teachers, telephone drinking games, the gritty ’70s, Olivia’s beautiful hair, race fun, and other stocking stuffers. So, bring your smuggled hooch and your sexy attitudes. We’ll meet you in the attic.

EP57: The Return of the Living Dead

We’re sorry to disturb you but we’re at Q-2 status. It looks like we found that lost commentary for 1985′s The Return of the Living Dead. Yes, Terror Fiends, we’re pretty sure. We’re getting confirmations on this in the form of film facts, fast zombies, vengeful party hats, ’80s punks, wizard sleeves, the perverted majesty of Blu-ray, dog-urine birthday cakes, the wrongness of “Thom” and other rabid weasels. Apparently, there is no contingency plan and all that can be heard is a cry of BRAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIINS! So, given your options, are you wondering what would be the most horrible way to die? Well, not hearing this episode, of course!

EP54: Love At First Bite

On the mean streets of New York City, the danger is very real: freaks, junkies, perverts, thugs, weirdos, and the biggest bloodsucker of all — Count Dracula! He’s in town, and he’s looking for love in all the trendy, sex-crazed, disco dance clubs. So, while you’re freaking out in a bathroom stall on too many quaaludes, Matt and Jason will try to talk you down with their commentary on the 1979 comedy horror flick, Love At First Bite. Just play it real cool as we drive our stakes into a brief history of comedy in horror, slob punching, pretty stewardesses, the “Irene” story, Richard versus Dick, neurosis with chutzpah, the perils of excess, Halloween costume decision making and other life-draining matters. For those who take their podcast on the rocks and with a twist, this blood’s for you. Cheers and Happy Halloween!

EP53: Creepshow

Greetings, kiddies! We’re Matt and Jason — the CREEPS! — and we’ll be your guides on this five-part journey into fear. So get yourself some cake and gasp like a lunkhead as we creep up on you with commentary for the 1982 anthology, Creepshow. Awful anecdotes, yell yarns and fearsome fables will unfold in the form of movie background, the merits of long-haired ladies, more mass murder fantasies, Matt’s home bar project, libertines, Netflix gripes, alcohol faux pas and other means to measure the bite marks. And, if you can hold your breath for a long, long time, we might even chat about some things after the movie. Of course, you know that if your dad catches you listening to this podcast again, you won’t sit down for a week. Remember that! Tuck in!
