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 387: THEM!

Greetings idiots! And so it came to pass that beloved King Hans, in his wisdom and discernment, blessed us with a horror relic from the atomic age- 1954’s THEM!
As part of his privileges as reigning king of our patreon, good ol’ Hans gets to pick a film. As stated by the man himself, this was selected to accompany the theatrical release of Oppenheimer, as it relates to the aftermath of all the nuclear testing in New Mexico. Besides that though, it all pairs pretty gooooooood with our prior episode, Starship Troopers, as both involve giant bugs and heavily armed humans shooting at them. 

As Warner Bros. highest grossing film of 1954, THEM! was one of this first films of it’s kind, and one of the film industry’s first attempts to process (and exploit) the anxiety and terror of the atomic age through a fictional lense. Meanwhile, over in Japan in the very same year, that country would begin it’s cultural processing of the nuclear atrocities it suffered with a little film called Gojira (Godzilla). 

“Don’t you think I know that? This isn’t one of you text-book exercises, Mr. Jennings. This is an experiment in biological warfare, or hadn’t you noticed? That organism is potentially the greatest breakthrough in weapons research since man split the atom. What we do here will affect the balance of world power!” It’s the Who Goes There Podcast episode 387!

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!

EPISODE 384: PROJECT WOLF HUNTING

Salutations idiots! Hopefully you’ve had the opportunity to listen to the previous episode featuring the introduction of our new cohost, Jacob. He’s dope. We appreciate him, and we appreciate all the good will and words of encouragement we’ve received from many of you.

“Don’t act so weak… this is just the beginning. Remember… your nightmare’s only getting worse!” It’s the Who Goes There Podcast episode 384!

Next up is 2022’s bonkers South Korean sci-fi action horror hybrid, PROJECT WOLF HUNTING. Among other fine moments, this film bears the distinction of being the only film we’re aware of in which a man is presumably killed by another man’s Dee, mid-cockgobble. This is important stuff. The film is currently available to rent on VOD or stream on Screambox.

Ep382: Tetsuo The Ironman and Evil Dead Rise

Ah! It’s been a long time, we shouldn’t have left you, without a dope beat to step to. More accurately, it’s been like 3 months at most, and we have no beats.

But we’re back! And when I say “we” I mean exactly two thirds of what you’re used to. Yes, friends, idiots, and people reading this out of morbid curiosity, Matt has shuffled off this silly-ass show and embraced the next chapter of his life. We will miss him and hope he’ll be making periodic special guest appearances when he feels like it.

We have a new cohost on the show joining us. We need the energy of the triforce to sustain the Dee. It’s a new era of sorts, again, for WGT, and the chemistry is guaranteed to be a bit different. We’re just going to continue doing what we do and letting it take shape.

This is a massive slab of content here, as we present to you not one but two episodes. Episode #382 is Matty Ding Dong’s final outing with us which we recorded a few months back. We review and discuss 1989’s Japanese body horror extravaganza, TETSUO: THE IRON MAN.

Episode #383 is our first without Matt, wherein we welcome our new third throbbing member and discuss 2023’s EVIL DEAD RISE.
