This week, we embrace the dark side with one older cult classic and one new release, “Killer Nun” (1979) and “Demonic Toys: Jack Attack”.
Killer Nun
As always, we begin the show with some horror headlines.
Last year was supposed to be the end of Halloween. It would have been the worst possible way for the celebrated franchise to end, but it was time for it to go away – at least for a long time. Hollywood is never afraid to keep recycling ideas, so we start the show with a talk about the future of the series.
Netflix has been a major player in the streaming wars from the beginning. What few remember and even fewer know is that it got its start as a DVD rental company with a novel idea. As that era ends, we reminisce about the early days of Netflix and the internet in general.
Then, it’s on to our featured presentation and new movie spotlight.
Video Nasties are an important part of horror history. A list of movies that were deemed obscene and morally irrelevant were soon banned, and their distribution became criminal. It was not until the end of the 20th century that the laws relaxed, if ever so slightly.
Killer Nun is an interesting inclusion.
There are enough scenes that justify the decision to place it on the list, but it stands out from the rest. Less over the top and gory, the plot is based on true events. The mix of outrageous moments and grounded storytelling gave us plenty to talk about.
Demonic Toys: Jack Attack
For our second film, we talk about the latest from the Full Moon family.
Full Moon Features is responsible for some of the most loved and disregarded franchises. One of the most overrated is the Demonic Toys series.
We talk about the latest addition and wonder what appeal it will have to modern audiences.

Episode 373: ‘Mockbuster’ (2026)
We have spent years talking about how important The Blair Witch Project is. We discuss the pros and cons of the latest reimagining of the iconic found footage classic. And we are definitely interested. Plus, the latest internet horror fad that Hollywood wants to adapt into a movie. And while it does seem a little silly to us, they do have a strong director attached to it.
The Asylum has been putting out grade-A quality B movies for a long time. Sharknado may be their most well-known, but their specialty are mockbusters like Tomb Invader and Top Gunner. We could not wait to take a look at their inner workings.
Mockbuster does much more than that. Sure, there is plenty of footage from The Asylum library. And yes, all of it is amazing. The interviews with the people at the top of the company are also great. They know the score and are funny, entertaining, and informative.
But it is the documentary’s subject that is the beating heart of the film. Anthony Frith is one of the most charming people we have ever seen and we enjoyed watching his journey. Mockbuster ended up being an unexpected feel-good watch thanks to Frith and all of the incredibly supportive people featured.
On top of all that, we get to see how a movie from The Asylum gets made!
