This episode, though, we discuss ANOTHER Texas Chainsaw Massacre sequel that ignores the other sequels, a gender-swapped She’s All That, social distancing at the Oscars, and more.

We just can’t help ourselves, can we? This was meant to simply be an episode recapping our thoughts on Disney Marvel’s WandaVision now that the series has concluded. And we do, of course! We catch up on the final two episodes of WandaVision, talk about the series as a whole, and how the finale left us.But wait, there’s more! Melanie and Randy have been on a bit of a movie binge! The crew all finally catch up on some notable movies like Spider-Man: Far from Home, Bill & Ted Face the Music, and Atomic Blonde. Everyone is shocked to hear Randy watched Addams Family Values for the first time ever.

On this episode we REACT AT THE NEWS. Our favorite old school Flash to return to TV in Stargirl season 2. Also, Stargirl is a thing. A new live-action Superman movie is in the works but not the Superman you might be expecting. Oh, and Hollywood is finally remaking a movie that SHOULD be remade and Edgar Wright is attached to direct!Plus, the Mortal Kombat trailer broke the internet (as the kids say) and we’re all about it. We love/hate I Care A Lot and recommend Freaky. First, though, we dive into the fascinating world of gaucho pants, Groucho Marx, and more.

LIST EPISODE!We discuss 10 killer couples in film.

Matty D. of the 60s Reboot Podcast joins the Grawlix Podcast crew to discuss the first two episodes of Marvel’s WandaVision series. Is the Disney+ series an interesting move within the MCU or a thin gimmack? How does it compare to the actual 50s/60s TV classics it is aping? Where is all this going? The only way we could answer such questions was with a 60s Reboot Podcast crossover episode!We also discuss other recent viewing including Cobra Kai season 3 (and 2), the final two Phantasm movies, and more.

Happy New Year! What a new year it’s been already, right? For the 2021 New Year’s episode we decided to skip the usual retrospective on the previous year, for obvious reasons. Instead, we’ve got a brand new blockbuster comic book movie AND new episode of Doctor Who to talk about.We get far more heated during our Wonder Woman 1984 review than anyone probably expected. However, we found ourselves pleasantly surprised with Doctor Who’s Revolution of the Daleks. Plus, brief thoughts on Netflix’s Project Power, The Old Guard, and more.

Happy Holidays, ya’ old building and loan! It’s the time of year to bust out the Jimmy Stewart impressions, mix in a bit of Randy Savage because it’s all pizza, and fire up your favorite Christmas classics. And by Christmas classics we mean horror movies, of course.Yes, it’s the gift that keeps giving… the Monster of the Week segment! We gathered the whole Grawlix Podcast and Grawlix Cinematic Universe crew around the smoldering yule log that is 2020 to discuss Holiday horror movies. It just seemed appropriate.Melanie and Randy tag team a double feature of Black Christmas. Melanie first discusses the original 1974 proto-slasher before Randy gets out-SJW-ed by the 2019 “remake”. Jesse brings some levity with the 80s Christmas comedy classic Ernest Saves Christmas. Jasper follows up with a stocking stuffed with ultra-camp in the over-the-top horror comedy Santa’s Slay starring Bill Goldberg.Finally, we stick a bow on the evening with a game! Randy finds the most ridiculous reviews of holiday classics from Letterboxd.com users for a few rounds of “guess the movie by the review.” Yeah, that’s a totally original, never before heard of game… we swear.

Yee haw! This episode we’ve got so much merriment you’ll squeal like a pig. First, for this week’s horror movie Monster of the Week we plunged deep into the backwoods and swamps of rural America. And Slovenia. And South Wales, apparently. Listen, every country has their own version of the hillbilly and that’s the theme of this episode. Hixploitation!Randy talks moonshine and lederhosen with Slovenia’s first horror film, Killbillies (aka Idila). Jesse braved the primitive landscape of 2006 BBC 3 television by revisiting Torchwood Season 1, Episode 6: Countrycide. Melanie wraps the segment with a recommendation of the excellent horror-comedy Tucker and Dale vs. Evil.Then we attempt to take on the relentless onslaught of news from the happiest investor’s call on Earth. Yep, it was Disney’s Investor Day! Just the sound of that has us filled with merriment and wonder.

Forget the news, forget #SnyderWatch, it’s time to talk slashers! Loveable, bloodthirsty, teen stalking, serial killers are this episode’s Monster of the Week. It’s not all horror films, though, because we’re also joined by comic book writer/artist Robert Geronimo.Robert discusses his ongoing comic series Blood Realm (hear our original review of Blood Realm Vol. 1 back on Grawlix Podcast #88). Robert also talks about his new graphic novel, WIREHEAD, which features a cybernetic slasher stalking teens in the Pocono Mountains. You’ll be surprised by which slasher flicks Robert drew inspiration from and his take on Terminator being one of them.Then we segue into the Monster of the Week segment. Jesse digs Richard Stanley’s Hardware out of the sand dunes, Melanie crashes the sausage fest that is Dude Bro Party Massacre III, and Randy rings up the forgotten 80’s grocery store slasher Intruder.

The Monster of the Week this episode is infestations or pests so it’s about to get creepy crawly. Jesse rounds out a trifecta of out-there actors following Nicolas Cage and Christopher Walken in recent episodes with the 2003 remake of Willard, starring Crispin Glover. Melanie gets campy with a better than expected 2009 horror comedy Infestation and Randy discusses the truly bizarre Dario Argento film Phenomena. Wait, Phenomena had mutants, telepathic insects, and a razor blade wielding chimpanzee and STILL doesn’t get a recommend!?On the week’s React at the News segment the trio discuss the surprising Wonder Woman 1984 release announcement, no CGI James Dean for Chadwick Boseman, #DisneyMustPay, and more.

Halloween may be over but the horror show that is 2020 continues to lumber forward so we’ve decided to keep the Monster of the Week segments going! With everything going on here in the states we decided the only appropriate monster to discuss was… government.So, each of us discuss a different political or government themed film. Randy revisits the wonderfully dry and poignant wit of In The Loop. Jesse takes the Christopher Walken, David Cronenberg, Stephen King classic The Dead Zone for a walk. And Melanie gets real with the 2016 documentary 13th.On the TV, movie, & entertainment news front we also discuss YouTube pulling the plug on Rewind 2020, Xbox enters the world of Cinevapic, Netflix actually renews some good shows, and more.

Are you ready for Cage Fight round 2!? For our un-Halloween-like Halloween Monster of the Week episode we opened our eyes wide and gazed into the vast expanse that is Nicolas Cage.Jesse paid the ghost with the fairly subdued Nicolas Cage horror film, Pay the Ghost. What wasn’t subdued was the entertainingly awful hidden gem that is Between Worlds that both Randy and Melanie watched. Could this be the quintessential Nic Cage film?

It was only a matter of time till we got to them…. PUPPETS! Evil puppets and dolls are this episode’s horror movie monster of the week.Melanie talks about Chucky’s AI smart assistant makeover in 2019’s Child Play. Jesse discusses the Puppet Master franchise’s first solo character spinoff with Blade the Iron Cross. Randy shares his thoughts on 1978’s Magic, in which Anthony Hopkins has an unhealthy relationship with a puppet and throws out some real Psycho vibes.The React at the Reboot/Remake segment returns with a vengeance in this week’s entertainment news as a Battlestar Galactica movie may actually happen someday and Tim Burton eye’s an Addams Family live-action TV series. Plus, this week’s #SnyderWatch news has us thinking the Snyder Cut may NOT have actually existed.Originally streamed live October 22nd, 2020 via Facebook Live, Twitch, and YouTube.Video replay, show notes, and more: https://grawlixpodcast.com/2020/10/nights-10-22-2020/ ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

On this live episode, the horror movie monster of the week is doppelgängers, clones, or evil twins.Not DoppelJesse revisits the Moff era of Doctor Who with a look at Rebel Flesh and The Almost People. The less evil twin of Melanie discusses Twinsanity (2018), a movie so entwined in twinness that it also goes by the title of Downward Twin. And podcast not pod person Randy talks about Invasion of the Pod People. An Asylum clone meant to capitalize on 2007’s Invasion which is itself a 4th generation remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Doppel-ception!Our 100% not doppelgänger hosts also discuss the week’s entertainment news including a Lumberjanes animated series, the continuing saga of movie theater chains, and some totally not-news Justice League Snyder Cut news.

The monster of the week this episode is witches. It was by total coincidence that Randy mentioned the 1990 film, The Witches, a day before the trailer for the new HBO Max take on the film dropped.So, Randy decided it was time to revisit 1990’s The Witches. Melanie dug up something interesting with The Autopsy of Jane Doe while Jesse ditched the horror and went Ghibli with Kiki’s Delivery Service.The week’s entertainment news includes Netflix giving GLOW the axe despite being renewed (and filming!) and we finally get to see some footage of the animated Invincible series. Plus, Marvel looks to be embracing the cinematic multiverse, Disney ditches the theater chains in a big way with the new Pixar film, and more.

October is here and the monster-of-the-week segment continues. We kick our favorite month off with an odd choice of horror movie "monster" but also the most realistic... creepy neighbors. Or is our paranoia the real monster as we let our imaginations run wild with unfounded ideas of the what the neighbors are up to? I mean, what the hell is he building in there?Well, since this episode we are discussing horror movies there is a good chance the neighbors are up to no good. They could vampires like in Randy's pick, the 1980's classic Fright Night. They could all be up to no good with some kind of plot like in Melanie's pick, the indie psychodrama that is 1BR. Or they could be Shia LaBeouf like in Jesse's pick, Disturbia.Also, the week's entertainment news including the when Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness filming is to start, a Borat sequel, and Halloween viewing available now on HBO Max and Disney+. Of course, that's not even close to all of it so enjoy!Originally streamed live October 1st, 2020 via Facebook Live, Twitch, and YouTube.Video, show notes, and more: https://grawlixpodcast.com/2020/10/nights-10-1-2020/ ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

This episode’s monster of the week is a classic… Zombies! Melanie shares her thoughts on the the meta-heavy Daybreak Netflix series, Jesse finally gets double tapped with the Zombieland sequel, and Randy goes voodoo with a hidden zombie gem recommended to him by his mom!Also, are vampires zombies? What’s the difference between the living dead and the undead? These are important questions!Plus, Taika Waititi-watch, James Gunn-watch, #SnyderWatch, and more.

This episode’s monster of the week segment may feature the most monstrous horror movie creatures we’ve covered so far… children! We discuss a handful of horror movies with a focus on the creepy kid trope including Swedish vampire classic, Let the Right One In, and a comedic take on The Omen with Little Evil.Plus, thoughts on a bunch of recent viewing including The Babysitter: Killer Queen and Amazon’s The Boys.

Did the circus come to town because this episode is full of clowns. Coincidentally, the horror movie monster of the week is CLOWNS. Yeah, they ARE monsters. The G-Crew each searched out some sort of creepy clown film or TV show. Don’t expect any Pennywise here, either. They went out of their way to find some less discussed and even downright obscure clown creeps to talk about.The week’s TV and movie news stories include another The Batman production shut down, Mike Flanagan’s dream to adapt the apparently unadaptable, and Cobra Kai sweeping legs and taking names over on Netflix. Plus, #SnyderWatch and much more on this 2+ hour long live episode.

This week we attempt to build a Frankenstein’s Monster out of Frankenstein’s Monsters. We each watched a Frankenstein related movie or TV show and, joined by Matt D. of 60s Reboot Podcast and Comics With My Kids, collectively try to figure out which Frankenstein is the sexiest.Unlike last episode’s vampire theme, we each managed to find vastly different takes on ol’ green and stumbly. From a time travel tale involving John Hurt that ISN’T Doctor Who, actual Doctor Who, and 3d printed emo-Franks, we cover a VERY interesting grouping of stories.We didn’t forget about the news and with DC FanDome happening the previous weekend we have a ton of movie trailers to react at. Jasper of Grawlix Cinematic Universe also joins us to discuss the new Justice League, The Batman, and The Suicide Squad trailers. Plus, John Carpenter pimps the next Halloween movie, a Babysitter-lite Babysitter sequel, and more!

Welcome, children of the night! Grawlix Nights, that is! On this episode we kick off our new, weekly monster examination. Each episode leading up to Halloween we’ll be discussing a different creepy creature, movie monster, or horror trope. This week, as the groan-worthy intro to this paragraph would infer, we are discussing vampires.The blood-suckers in question happen to come to us by way of the Netflix animated Castlevania series, the Netflix and BBC Dracula series, and the classic 90’s sexy vamp flick, Interview With The Vampire. We’re still ironing out the kinks in this monster format but any excuse to raise the undead is good enough for us!Of course, we didn’t forget about the news. We also discuss the potential return to the cowl for both Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck, Randy and Jesse get geeky about royalty, and SynderWatch continues despite what seemed like a slow Justice League news week. Of course, all the big news dropped after this live stream. Oh well, prepare for an extra large SnyderWatch later this week!

Sip, listeners!? Hope you are ready for fun because this episode is a blast. As usual we talk about what we’ve been watching including our thoughts on Doom Patrol AND Umbrella Academy seasons 2.We also cover the TV & movie news that caught our attention over the past week. Randy gets excited for the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2 demo, we continue to follow the struggle of AMC Theatres, and there appears to be many horror movies set to hit the streaming services in the near-ish future. Don’t forget the weekly #SnyderWatch news and more.What makes this episode particularly fun, though? We all kept it conversational and hit on a BUNCH of things we hadn’t planned on. And it was great. Remember Alien Nation? We do. How is that relevant? No clue but we decided to talk about the 90s sci-fi franchise that spanned a feature film, TV series, and FIVE TV movies.Also, YouTube podcasters, Hollywood’s villain “problem”, the new Saved by the Bell series trailer, beaver butt gland juice, and more.

The grinding of the Hollywood gears are beginning to churn, again, so we actually have lots of movie news to talk about this week! Of course, it IS Hollywood after all so that means reboots, reboots, reboots! Sequels, too.Before that we open the show with our thoughts on The Umbrella Academy Season 2. We also find out how big of a hit AMC Theatres took due to the shutdown. Unsurprisingly, it was massive. Meanwhile, we’re still waiting from some Drive-Ins to open up.Plus, why HBO Max keeps losing movies, SnyderWatch returns, we dunk on M. Night Shyamalan for some reason, and we realize that Zack Snyder and M. Night Shyamalan have a lot in common.

Just because a literal global pandemic has turned the world upside doesn’t mean we can’t have some fun. In fact, when the majority of us are either responsibly practicing social distancing or in an actual lockdown situation it is more important than ever to not get bogged down by fear and anxiety. Or boredom.This week we offer up some levity, a bit of seriousness, and a whole lot of recommendations on how we can fill our time as we remain homebound. LIST EPISODE! We run down our top picks of what’s streaming, what we’re watching, and what we’re excited about. Jasper even joins the show! Enjoy!On a serious note, this is a scary and uncertain time. Fortunately, even with lockdowns and social distancing modern technology allows us to connect with others from the confines of our homes. Take advantage of free video conferencing and chat services if you are feeling lonely and need to talk to friends.I don’t think it’s a coincidence that this live stream is one of the only times all four of us have appeared on camera. Even through a webcam, face to face conversation can go a long way. This is one time in which we are all truly in this together.Originally streamed live March 19th, 2020 via Facebook Live.Full show notes and more: https://grawlixpodcast.com/2020/03/nights-3-19-2020/ ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

It’s the Grawlix Podcast’s 6th anniversary! Can you believe it? 6 years of comic book chat, Doctor Who complaints, TV talk, movie musings, and random banter. In other words, it’s all pizza.To celebrate this milestone we decided to play a role-playing game! And the dungeon master is a ROBOT! Machine learning AI, actually.In this episode, we have a blast playing through a game of AI Dungeon 2, a machine learning AI-driven role-playing game. Every game of AI Dungeon 2 plays out like an interactive story where each storyline is totally unique… and also wacky. Also, sometimes disturbing.Is this just a strange tale of time-traveling podcasters, doppelgangers, and alien clones? Or is this the actual future and ultimate fate of The Grawlix Podcast as predicted by artificial intelligence? Yes!
