EPISODE 387: THEM!

Posted on by

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

Posted on by

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

Posted on by

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

Posted on by

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

Posted on by

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.

Ep380: Infinity Pool – WGT

Posted on by

Ohayo, ya cucks! Matt is finally back from Japan and you know what that means… absolutely nothing. I mean, we’ll be releasing 4 episodes based off of Japanese films, but for this week, it means nothing.

We did record an episode on that new Brandon Cronenberg movie Infinity Pool about two years ago. So we should probably release that. You know how we feel about Cronenbergs over here. Well, aside from Rhett wanting to have weird sex with them. Do we feel the same about this movie? Only one way to find out.

There’s actually a few ways to find out, but that doesn’t sound as fun. Any who. Listen to the new episode. Or don’t. Or maybe you go to hell, you go to hell, and you die!

Ep379: The Terminator – WGT

Posted on by

Ahoy-hoy, ya cucks! Seeing as how it’s Valentine’s Day and all we decided to show you a little love for once and release the episode… EARLY! God damn, we’re so fuckin thoughtful!

In addition to the wonderful gift we’ve bestowed upon you, we thought it would be peachy keen to cover a love story that transcends time and space. A story about a boy sending his dad through time to bang his mom. Not sure how, but there’s some kind of cuckoldry going on here. That’s right, sperm-burpers! This week we’re covering 1984’s The Terminator!

This episode is best enjoyed at loud volume, while clapping them cheeks. So get to it. Bonus points if you call out one of our names during your coital bliss. Film it and I’ll send you a t-shirt. Smooches.

Ep377: Killer Condom – WGT

Posted on by

Bow your heads, nerds! You are in the presence of greatness! Well, great generosity, at the least. You see, here at WGT we have a tier on our Patreon called “Living Deliciously”. It’s a one person tier that makes you the King of WGT and allows you to pick one film for review per month. It’s a way to have your cake and eat it too.

We’ve had a couple different Kings thus far. King Turk wanted us to do severely disturbing films. King Sam wanted us to do whatever films made us happy. King Hans, well, King Hans is a god damned agent of chaos, so things are about to get weird.

Buckle up for the first pick under King Hans: Killer Condom. Yeah, you heard that right. A sentient condom, that eats dicks. I am please.
