Troy scurries back to the podcast this week to join Roger and another very special guest, filmmaker and actor Zach Shildwachter, to chat about the 1987 killer cockroach flick The Nest.  Join the guys as they discuss egregiously forgotten female love interests, potentially off putting animal death sequences, the perils of spilling syrup,  and whether long johns are comparable to lingerie.

An episode without the presence of the ample and curvaceous Troy Escamilla is a lofty task, but Roger enlists the support of “Bath Bomb” director (and source of knowledge regarding all things Giallo) Colin G Cooper to discuss the ever-celebrated 1975 Dario Argento masterpiece Deep Red! Colin leads Roger into the annals of Italian horror as they navigate the intricacies and subtle details of this truly exceptional piece of genre cinema! Join them as they discuss a variety of film related topics, including the appropriate times in which it’s completely acceptable to expose a woman’s breast on a camera,  the exact timeframe required to fill a king sized bathtub in real time, the 22 minutes of pure homoeroticism excluded from the international cut of the film and why we absolutely deserve to see them, and that glorious killer reveal that every gay horror fan lives for! Get yourselves ready, because this episode of Dark Night of the Podcast is coming at you like a murderous mechanical babydoll donning a tuxedo without any backstory or exposition! It’s time to get in deep… Deep Red that is!

For their 99th full length episode, Troy and Roger head on down to the Louisiana bayou where they prepare to tackle the illusive and practically forgotten 2005 slasher offering Venom, a title that all but faded into obscurity following its overwhelming unsuccessful release. Is the practically unanimous poor reception from reviewers and moviegoers alike for good reason, or is there a hidden gem here buried in a suitcase beneath the dirt along with all of those godawful cgi snakes? That’s for the gays to decide, so jump inside Ray Sawyers shitty old tow truck and listen along as they banter over their opinions on related topics such as whether or not facial scars make white trash truck drivers more or less appealing, the problems with introducing major points of character development that ultimately serve little to no purpose, the questionable decision of killing off all of the African American actors in a movie focused around the intricacies of voodoo, the ongoing curse that is Agnus Bruckner’s acting career, and the many MANY issues they have with the usage of CGI blood. So does Venom deserve the bad wrap, or can it be milked of all of that bad juju and earn its rightful place in the slasher hall of fame? You’ll just have to listen to find out! Tune in now, or else the boys will have to turn you into their very own human voodoo doll!

In sleep, he sang to me. In dreams, he came. And boy did he come alright, because in those dreams he was banging it out in some of the most aggressively erotic and drawn out sex scenes we’ve seen to date! The “he” that were referencing is none other than Eric, and when he’s not busy having seemingly amazing sex with his lovely ex girlfriend Melody via flashback, he’s out for revenge! No subtlety here folks, the title of this weeks selection literally spells it out for you… Phantom of the Mall: Eric’s Revenge! This movie has it all… literally! I mean we’re talking acts of murder, martial arts, hidden lairs, snake wrangling, Italian pianists, bombs, arson, weight lifting, sequined party dresses, Paula Shore, and Morgan Fairchild! What more could you want!? Join Troy and Roger as they max out their cards and load up their shopping bags while chatting about all kinds of totally rad topics, including their intense infatuation with the absolutely stunning Rob Estes, the fact that a movie cannot be scary when it involves roundhouse kicking a man to the face, the acknowledgement that Morgan Fairchild looks fucking great no matter what color power suit she may be wearing, and whether or not they’d be willing to get down n dirty with a man whose body was horrifically scarred by severe 3rd degree burns! So get ready to shop 'til you drop because Midwood Mall is about to celebrate its grand opening, and Dark Night of the Podcast is going to ensure that Eric finally gets his much deserved and completely warranted revenge!

Listeners are HUNGRY for fresh content, and it appears as though some of them (or at least one of them) possess an insatiable appetite for the 1980 Italian horror classic (?) Antropophagus aka The Grim Reaper AKA Savage Island. Ooph, that title is a mouthful! But Troy and Roger are here to satisfy your cravings, and thus they’ve decided to take a huge chomp out of the poorly dubbed cannibal flick . And boy oh BOY do they have some serious thoughts on the matter! So sit on down and prepare yourselves for a literal FEAST as they serve you up a hearty helping of meaty topics and delectable conversation! Talking points include the undeniable allure of quaint Mediterranean island towns, extreme closeups on highly ineffective paper mache corpses, the inability to root for a character who is clearly a sexual predator and will not accept “not interested” as an answer to their advances, and an extensive list of all of the reasons as to why a pregnant woman should not be allowed to travel abroad, PERIOD. So hop on a gondola and take flight as the boys prepare to glide ever so gracefully into a brand new episode!

Troy and Roger head back to Cuesta Verde as they prepare to head on over to The Other Side! And no, we’re not talking about Jason Derulo’s top 20 hit from his 2013 studio album of the same title! No ma’am, we’re talking about the 1986 sequel Poltergeist 2: The Other Side, the ambitious sequel to the paranormal box office success that completely fails to live up to its predecessor in all aspects across the board. And while this movie proves to be an absolute shit show, that doesn’t mean it’s completely void of entertainment factor! Oh no, in fact this movie is SO entrancingly bonkers that you can’t help but be swept away in its mind boggling array of green screen smothered nonsense! This is a TV free zone, so this is the perfect time to pop in your headphones and tune in as your favorite queers discuss hot topics such as blatantly offensive Native American stereotypes, the mysterious exclusion of Dana Freeling, the mortal dangers of swallowing the tequila worm, and the undeniably effective all together terrifying antagonist that is Reverend Kame! It’s time for the boys to TELL YA WHAT THEY FEEL as they jump into the fire and backflip into another episode!

Troy and Roger hop a train to beautiful and exotic Slovakia as they tackle Eli Roth’s surprisingly capable sequel offering Hostel 2.  Better characters, memorable kills, a smorgasbord of gore, and an unexpected finale that leaves you saying “good for her” are all reasons why you should consider giving this often under-appreciated follow up another go! Allow yourselves to be seduced as your favorite gays romance you with their heavy European accents, discussing in depth enticing topics such as the undeniable allure of one Bijou Phillips, heavily implied lesbian undertones and why we’re absolutely here for them, the many reasons why nobody would actually want to go to Slovakia and yet for some reason… here we are, and that scene… yes THAT scene featuring the doe eyed Heather Matarazzo! You know the one we’re talking about, and if you don’t you better friggin’ watch it immediately! So raise your glass of apple cider and brace yourselves for some sexy good times, because it’s time for a toast! Nostrovia! To your health!
