EPISODE 393: TREMORS

There’s not too many genre mashup monster/comedy/adventure/horror films out there, and even less that are any good. What other cases can be made against 1990’s TREMORS? Well, it’s PG-13, so there’s that. It has Reba McEntire and the Dad from Family Ties.

But enough of all that, if you’re among those of us who helped turn it into a cult classic over the years after it’s abysmal initial theatrical run, you already know this is all a jest. How does it hold up though? Listen and find out. 

“So what if we make it to the rocks? We’ll be dead in three days anyway! This bastard ain’t smarter than us. I’m gonna go for it. I GOT A GODDAMN PLAAAAN!” It’s The Who Goes There Podcast Episode 393!

EPISODE 392: ROBOCOP 2

Drug addict cyborgs, infant hostages, elderly abuse, kid drug lords, the firebombing of a drug treatment clinic, a violent robbery committed by a pack of boy scouts and their scout leader. When Frank Miller (yes, that Frank Miller) landed the gig writing ROBOCOP 2, it’s as though he took it upon himself as a personal challenge to push the savage satirical edge of the first film to it’s most extreme form. But how has this initially maligned sequel aged over the years? Is it worthy of a reappraisal? Listen and find out.

On the international scene, the Amazon nuclear facility has blown its stack, irradiating the world’s largest rain forest. Environmentalists are calling it a disaster–but don’t they always?” It’s the Who Goes There Podcast, Episode 392!

EPISODE 391: TALK TO ME

This episode we finally discuss A24’s recent breakout, Talk To Me. Serving as the feature film directorial debut of brothers Danny and Michael Philippou, the movie revolves around a group of teenagers experimenting with a mysterious embalmed hand which allows them to contact, and temporarily be inhabited by, spirits. Needless to say, things go too far. Prior to writing and helming the film, the Philippou Brothers created and have operated Australian Youtube Channel RackaRacka since 2013, known for it’s horror/comedy videos.

EPISODE 390: THE DEVIL’S ADVOCATE

This episode we return to 1997 when Al Pacino (“greeeeeeeat ass!!!”) played himself playing the devil and Keanu Reeves terrified us with his attempt at a Southern Accent. It’s The Who Goes There Podcast, Episode 390: The Devil’s Advocate. Review starts right around the 30-minute mark, after Jorge and Rhett briefly discuss some Billy Joel deep cuts. 

“Who are you carrying all those bricks for anyway? God? Is that it? God? Why I’ll tell you…let me give you a little inside information about God. God likes to watch. He’s a prankster. Think about it. He gives man… instincts. He gives you this extraordinary gift, and then what does he do? I swear, for his own amusement…his own private, cosmic, gag reel; he sets the rules in opposition. It’s the goof of all time. Look, but don’t touch. Taste, but don’t swallow. And while you’re jumping from one foot to the next, what is he doing? He’s laughing his sick, fucking ass off! He’s a tightass! He’s a sadist! He’s an absentee landlord! Worship that?! Never!”

EPISODE 388: BLACK MIRROR, SEASON 6

Awww shit, here we go again. This episode we review all five episodes of Black Mirror, Season 6. While Season 4 had it’s high points, most notably an episode entitled USS Callister starring Meth Damon (Jessie Plemons), I think most will agree Season 5 was easily the worst of the series. So, we had high hopes that series creator Charlie Brooker had taken his time and bounced back with a new season to bring us more of the existential dread and dark, dizzying forays into the implications of technology and consciousness we’ve come to expect from the series since it debuted back in 2011. Is this the case? Listen to the episode and find out! 

“So, what happens when we die? We drop into Limbo. Are you serious? Limbo Unconstructed dream space. Well, what the hell is down there? Just raw, infinite subconscious. Nothing is down there!” It’s the Who Goes There Podcast episode 388!

EPISODE 386: STARSHIP TROOPERS

Welcome back. How ya been? This episode we’re talking Paul Verhoeven’s gory military satire, STARSHIP TROOPERS. While universally praised for its staggering special visual effects and creature design courtesy of Phill Tippet, upon initial release the film was considered a commercial and critical failure. The satirical elements were mostly misunderstood and even interpreted to mean the exact opposite of what was intended. Verhoeven’s hyper-violence and grisly combat scenes were perhaps most appreciated by gorehounds and teenagers. In the last 25 years Starship Troopers has undergone a critical reappraisal. 

So, how’s the film aged since it’s original 1997 release? Listen and find out. As of this writing the film is also available to stream on Netflix. Second-half of the show begins right around the 46-minute mark and the review shortly after. 

“That’s great. That’s just fucking great, man! Now what the fuck are we supposed to do? We’re in some real pretty shit now man! Game over man, game’s fucking over! What the fuck are we gonna do now? What are we gonna do?” It’s the Who Goes There Podcast episode 386!

EPISODE 385: DEADSTREAM

You’re back! That warms our hearts. There’s a lot of crazy shit going on, as usual. Rich people getting their boats flipped by Killer Whales, rich people getting yeeted into soup after imploding in a janky-ass submarine equipped with a cheap gaming controller as a navigation device while trying to visit the Titanic, a mercenary insurrection in Russia. Yes, it’s a wild time to be alive. We suppose this has always been the case though. 

This episode we dive into DEADSTREAM, a found footage horror/comedy revolving around a recently disgraced Youtuber who’s willing to do anything to get his followers back. For those who haven’t seen it the movie is currently available to stream on Shudder. 

“Your reality is already half video hallucination. If you’re not careful, it will become total hallucination.” It’s the Who Goes There Podcast episode 385!
