Ahoy, Rotters! This week we're wading into the waters of Joe Dante's 1978 Jaws rip-off Piranha. Although it's one of many to cash in on the success of the original 1975 summer blockbuster, it's one of (if not THE) best of a B bunch. In classic Dante style, it manages to keep it fun whilst still delivering some mean spirited horror and surprising shocks.

Welcome back, Rotters! This is the first episode in our four-part retrospective of the Critters franchise. Starting here with the original 1986 movie and then continuing at Patreon.com/SteviesBrainRot from Tuesday, with Critters 2 (1988) When you think of Critters, images that usually come to mind are the 'Critterball' and Roxanne Kernohan plucking a giant metal staple from her abdomen. These however, are from Critters 2! The original outing of the Crites often gets overlooked and, in my opinion, warrants more praise than it receives. Which is your favourite entry in the franchise?

Choo Choo, Rotters! This week I'm joined by Sean Miller from The Horror Show podcast to talk about the mental 1985 anthology-horror; Night Train to Terror. What's different about this particular anthology, however, is that the segments are made up of full length feature films that have been edited down to just 20 minutes each. And the results are varying. Think how a song would sound if you cut halfway through the first verse and jumped to the end of the chorus..... that's Night Train to Terror. Heated discussions between God and Satan, Nazi demons and a neon 80s dance troupe, to boot..... this film has it all. Toodles!
