222 w/ Bob - The Lost Boys (1987) & Bloodsucking Bastards (2015) →

It’s Vampire Week on Pod Sematary! Chris, Kelsey, and special guest Bob fill some squirt guns with holy water and take in a Tim Cappello concert on the beach.

Read our afterthoughts for this episode here!

The Classic Film: The Lost Boys (1987)
"After moving to a new town, two brothers discover that the area is a haven for vampires” (IMDb.com). We absolutely adore this movie and for good reason. It just so perfectly exemplifies a specific style from a specific time that makes Kelsey say, "They were right in the 80s."

The Modern Film: Bloodsucking Bastards (2015)
"A down-on-his-luck cubicle worker and his slacker best friend discover their new boss is a vampire who is turning their coworkers into the undead.” (IMDb.com). Bloodsucking Bastards is a terrific comedy trapped in the shell of a fairly okay movie. It's certainly not what you might call a great movie, but the moments where it approaches perfection make it worth your time.

CW: Rape, Child Abuse, Eating Disorders

It’s Cannibal Week on Pod Sematary! Chris & Kelsey check out two films about familial cannibalism, including one from listener James! Thanks, James!

The Classic Film: Title (Year)
"A young boy living in 1950s suburbia suspects his parents are cannibalistic murderers" (IMDb.com). This quirky gem scared the bejeezus out of Kelsey when she was probably too young to be watching it. Will it live up to her childhood memory?

The Modern Film: Title (Year)
"An innocent teenager, studying to be a vet, develops a craving for human flesh" (IMDb.com). Raw got a lot of buzz a few years ago on the indie circuit, but is that praise unwarranted?

043 w/ Bob Ramos - Christine (1983) & Oculus (2013) →

It's Material Possessions Week on Pod Sematary and we have our first guest ever! It's Howdy Price from Championship Wrestling from Hollywood and the voice of Full Moon Features' Gingerdead Man: Bob Ramos!

First up is a personal favorite of Chris & Kelsey: the haunted car movie of all haunted car movies, John Carpenter and Stephen King's Christine from 1983! We absolutely love this movie and you will, too. It's over 20 years old so it's officially an antique!

Then it's on to the criminally underrated Oculus from 2013. This movie is the first foray into American cinema for Guardians of the Galaxy's Nebula, Karen Gillan. It didn't get nearly enough credit when it came out and it seemed to disappear pretty quickly. Don't let it pass you by again!
