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 370: Mid year recap
Time moves more quickly now than it ever has. It was not that long ago that we were talking about a new show executive produced by the Duffer brothers. About a month later, it is one and done. As someone once reminded us, we are just two guys who watch movies. Production budgets and domestic grosses are only a passing interest to us. Still, there are some things that catch our attention. Were we right to say that Michael would get to $1 billion? And what does the future hold for Obsession?
There was a major change to our humble little podcast this year. We decided it would be in our best interests to be a little more focused. To that end, we went to just covering one movie each show. Despite this, we still managed to cover twenty-three movies over seventeen episodes. And twenty of them were released in 2026.
So, what do we have to talk about? And will we get as worked up as we did last week? The horrors of high school, zombies, musicals, buff nuns, and grindhouse adjacent fun. It may not all have been good, but everything left some sort of impression on us.
