EPISODE 423: ALIEN ROMULUS

The time has come. The three of us are all big fans of the Alien franchise and director/writer Fede Alvarez has arrived with his buddy and co-writer Rodo Sayagues to give their take.

As the first film in the long running Alien series to be produced by 20th Century Studios following it’s acquisition by Disney, Alien: Romulus successfully resuscitated the franchise, grossing over $350 million worldwide. But at what cost?

Will the film’s gorgeous production design, modern horror tropes, and nostalgic nods to the greatest hits of the franchise be enough? Or is what some identify as an over-reliance on fan service, imitation, incoherent plotting, and contrivances, ultimately a deal breaker? What did we think? You’re about to find out.

“Z-01 contains the genome responsible for the Xeno’s ability to accelerate and slow down its metabolism at will. Its symbiotic capableness easily rewrites the host’s DNA through its blood. This is a much needed and well overdue upgrade for humanity. We simply cannot wait for evolution anymore.” It’s the Who Goes There Podcast Episode 423!

EPISODE 422: TRAP

It’s a trap! No really, it is. The one, the only, M. Night Shamalamalama returns with this high concept thriller starring Josh Hartnett as a serial killer taking his daughter to see a pop star portrayed by the writer/director’s daughter.

Review begins right around 45:25. We love you. Another new ep in a few days, next up is Alien: Romulus.

“You know the Butcher? That freakin’ nutjob that goes around just chopping people up? Well, the feds or whatever heard that he’s gonna be here today, so they set up a trap for him. This whole concert? It’s a trap. They’re watching all the exits, checking everyone that leaves. There’s no way to get out of here. It’s kinda dope, right?”

EPISODE 421: LONGLEGS

Welcome back! The time has come for us to discuss the much anticipated serial killer flick, LONGLEGS.

Preceded by months of cryptic and highly effective viral marketing, it’s a big swing from indie film distributor NEON and boasts a strong genre pedigree in writer/director Osgood Perkins, and stars Nicolas Cage and Maika Monroe. What did we think? Listen and find out. Also a bunch of other stuff discussed in the first half as usual.
Review starts at 45:25 

“The seventh she to be given the same choice they’ve all been given. Crimson, or clover. Accept the gift and destroy, destroy yourself and yourselves. Or keep it. And bow down. Bow all the way down. And get right down to the dirty, dirty work. Work that gets dirty as it cleans. Like a mop. Like a rag.” It’s the Who Goes There Podcast Episode 421!

EPISODE 420: A QUIET PLACE DAY ONE & MAXXXINE

For this ep, we have a double feature review of A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE and MAXXXINE. Two third-parters in two trilogies, but only one of the two is a prequel, whereas in the other trilogy the prequel was the first sequel. A hunk of excellent content. Figure that shit out.

“Do you want a bit of free advice? Look around you. You’ve made it to the belly of the beast, congratulations, very few come this far. To stay here, you must make it your obsession. Eliminate all other distractions, because if you take your eye off that prize for even a moment, the beast will spit you right back out where you came from.”

EPISODE 418: IN A VIOLENT NATURE

We have missed you. Got a bunch coming your way in the next couple weeks. This episode we get into the buzzy indie “ambient slasher”, In A Violent Nature. The movie has provoked a lot of discussion and mixed reactions within the horror community, but what did we think?

“They never found his body, but they say his spirit lives in the forest. This forest. A maniac, a thing no longer human. Every year he kills. Right now he’s out there. Watching. Waiting. So don’t look; he’ll see you. Don’t breathe; he’ll hear you. Don’t move; you’re dead!”

It’s time we here at WGT tackled another King Pick. This time Lord Hans has decreed we watch and discuss the 2014 horror/comedy Giallo spoof, THE EDITOR. The film is courtesy of those wacky and wild haomies from the North (meaning Canada), Astron-6.

“Don’t even try to move my clear, you’re completely paralyzed. You might remember my friend, the Brazilian Wandering spider. He’s very aggressive, highly poisonous. Not even your handsome boyfriend, Arturo, can save you now.” It’s the Who Goes There Podcast Episode 417!

EPISODE 416: THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS

This week WGT revisits 1991’s THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS. For our much appreciated Patreon subscribers, its a double dose of Wes Craven as they also get an exclusive episode of the bonkers 1989 slasher, SHOCKER. You can become a WGT Patreon member at www.patreon.com/whogoestherepodcast, or click the hyperlink further down the page.

The People Under the Stairs was previously discussed in the show’s first year by Jorge and former cohosts/co-founders Matt and Chris wayyyyyy back in 2014. This marks the first time WGT has revisited the same film in it’s 10 year history. This is also Jacob’s first watch of the film, which is insane.

“Every generation more insane than the one before it. They got their fingers into real estate, started making a lot of money taking over people’s homes. The more money they got, the greedier they got. The greedier they got, the crazier they got. All sorts of rumors about what’s going on in that place. Never proved it because the police never took it serious. But believe me, when I was a kid, none of us ever walked past that house.” It’s the Who Goes There Podcast Episode 416!!!

EPISODE 414: INFESTED

How ya been? We’re back with a review of another 2024 horror entry, INFESTED. Aka ‘Vermines’ in it’s native France. 

People are so repelled by spiders they’ve got their own sub-genre: 1990’s Arachnophobia (see episode 219 of WGT for our review), 2002’s Eight Legged Freaks, 1977’s Kingdom of the Spiders (starring motherfucking William Shatner), 1958’s Earth vs. the Spider (an MST3K classic), 2024’s Madame Webb (truly horrifying), and many more. So how does this one stack up against the rest? Listen and find out. INFESTED is currently available to stream on Shudder. 

Incidentally, it’s the debut feature of director Sebastien Vanicek, reportedly tapped to helm the next film in the Evil Dead franchise. 

“The Spider will eat you alive! Bullets…won’t kill it! Flames…can’t burn it! Nothing…can stop it! 50 tons of creeping black horror! It Must Eat You to Live!” It’s the Who Goes There Podcast Episode 414!
