From the publisher

In each episode, Patrick Hamilton and Gena Radcliffe unpack all the gory details of horror cinema's least discussed topic: the characters. From Friday the 13th to the Evil Dead franchise and beyond, our mission is to detail each hack, slash, and decapitation in the hopes that a victim's untimely end is just the beginning of the jokes we can make about them.

This episode of Kill By Kill is returning from the dead to haunt your earbuds!!

Along the way, we debate how many scenes of men pooping does one 3D movie need, suss out the best place to hide drugs on your person, and decide what character is best described as a “Manwich.” All this, plus a shoeless life, ignoring Shelly, THC naps, and a shocking rendition of Choose Your Own Death-venture!!

S6 Ep 40Psycho 1998 (w/ Kirstin Cills) ReMarch vol 4

E

The Ides of ReMarch are upon us! And now that we have discussed both the good and the bad kinds of horror remakes, it’s time to delve into the inexplicable: the 1998 “replica” of PSYCHO!! Here to help us make sense of the nonsensical is stand-up comedian and horror lover Kristen Cills!! We’re asking the big questions, like why did Gus Van Sant blow his post-Good Will Hunting blank check on this project? Is Psycho a better movie when you can almost see Viggo Mortensen’s pubes? Why is half the cast dressed like it’s 1960, and the rest look like they walked off of a Blur music video? What is the Small Soldiers Behind-The-Scenes Experience? With the pantheon of interesting actors making films at the time, why was Vince Vaughn the first choice for Norman Bates? What does work about this film, and why?! All this, plus Universal’s cursed (and blessed) 1998, watching Psycho as you make Psycho, losing to A Big’s Life, the buried secrets on Patrick’s ancient DVD, wet flapping meat sounds, and a soon-to-be-classic version of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! Check in, relax… and take a shower after you listen to this in-depth episode!! Follow Kristin on IG and TikTok!

S6 Ep 39The Crazies (2010) ReMarch vol 3

E

No, you’re not going insane… we’re unleashing our third remake episode of March and getting clinical about the 2010 version of THE CRAZIES!! Along the way, we explore how the original and remake reflect the socio-political depths of the military-industrialization of each era, consider why George A. Romero had such terrible luck in the movie industry, and openly wonder why we both love Timothy Olyphant so much!! All this, plus Dirk Pitt, bad lawsuits, farm pools, shrimp in the rain, dad books, occasional dog interruptions, squeak/flap ratios, car wash action, pitchfork plunges, and an explosive edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!!
