Thrill Me Podcast

Mid 90's buddy cop/actionner The Glimmer Man hits the airwaves this week. Steven Seagal punches and shoots bad guys, hands out deer penis as allergy medication and climbs Mt Everest. Adam also mounts a legal defence of Seagal's acting skills.

Gibbo joins us for our first horror film autopsy, the 1982 Spanish/Italian/US slasher film Pieces. No stone will be left unturned. With inept cops, oversexed co-eds, Karate Professors and chainsaw wielding maniacs, this movie is definitely of the so bad its good variety. Best enjoyed with a couple of beers.

Chuck Norris roundhouse kicks us repeatedly in the face with his 1982 suspense thriller, Silent Rage. We also flirt with bodily harm by discussing forgotten C-grade martial arts stars of the 80's and 90's

We cover the anthology horror film, Trick 'R Treat for our first ever Halloween episode (WARNING: Spoiler alert). That and so much more including a discussion about anthology horror in general, Adam Sandler's deal with Netflix and Adam drops a bombshell!!!!

We check into the Overlook Hotel for some rest, relaxation and one pants wetting night. In between all that we discuss Kubrick's only horror film. Also, we run our eye over the Stephen King adaptions and decide the best and worst.

After the initial excitement wears off, Adam and Jared discuss 5 sequels that arrived with plenty of fanfare (in their minds) but ended up disappointing them.

We dip back in to the Stallone pool for Cobra, a cheesy slice of 80's action that mixes cliches with axe cults and confused plotting. Also, the discussion topic is back. This time we put together the cop who plays by his own rules handbook.

Two prom's on the same night! First up, the boys put on their flared suits and platform shoes and disco dance through the night with Jamie Lee Curtis and Leslie Nielsen. A quick change into figure hugging tuxes and on to the second, more dramatic event. And all the while being stalked by an unseen maniac. Prepare for a big night.

A listener request leads to the first thrill me podcast double bill featuring one of our favourite on screen monsters.

We shuffle the horror movie deck and mount a case for these 8 characters being killed off in the first act. Controversially, a horror icon makes the list.

In honour of Wes Craven's career, we take a look at one of his lesser known films, the killer robot thriller, Deadly Friend. We also discuss his legacy within horror cinema.

Our second franchise smack down pits 9th instalment Jason goes to Hell, against the one without Jason, Friday the 13th Part 5 - A New Beginning, to decide which one deserves bragging rights as worst in the series.

The final episode of Die Hard week, 2013's A Good Day to Die Hard, see's John McClane visiting Russia to reconnect with his son. Mayhem and chaos follow. Adam, Jared and Gibbo go along for the ride. Also, we discuss the age old question - will we see John McClane again?

John McClane lives! After a 12 year lay off, everybody's favourite fly in the ointment is back, only this time he's facing a cyber threat. Does McClane's long overdue return do the franchise justice?

Are we happy to see McClane and Sam Jackson play a game of simon says with a blonde tipped Jeremy Irons?

How can the same thing happen to the same podcast twice! Die Hard week rolls on with 1990's first sequel, Die Hard 2: Die Harder. Jared, Adam and Gibbo will discuss all things McClane, including the benefits of nude karate.

Episode 1 of Die Hard week. Considered by many as the greatest action film of all time, but how will it stack up to Adam, Jared and Gibbo's intense scrutiny. Yippie Ki Yay indeed.

What sort of movie do you get when you put an Oscar winner with the sidekick from Short Circuit and a wig wearing George Costanza? An early 80's slasher movie, that's what. The Burning gets a run this week. We also start our year in review discussions with 1981.

FRIDAY NIGHTS A GREAT NIGHT FOR FOOTBALL!!!! We pull on the pads and hit the field to discuss the seedy world of sports gambling and corruption in The Last Boy Scout.

We've taken a wrong turn and ended up in Madison County, home to pig mask wearing killer Damien and this backwoods slasher. Rather than turn around and leave immediately, we dig a little deeper.
