This week, Roger and Troy tackle Woodchipper Massacre, a backyard horror “classic” that proves you don’t need a budget, logic, or even good audio to make a movie. They unpack the film’s chaotic family dynamic, questionable acting choices, and the surprising lack of, well, woodchipper massacres. From overacting kids to scenes that drag on like a home movie gone wrong, the guys find plenty to laugh (and groan) about. They debate whether it’s so-bad-it’s-good or just plain bad, all while appreciating the strange charm of DIY ‘80s horror. It’s low-budget lunacy at its finest, and somehow, you can’t look away.

Troy and Roger blast off into Species II , a sequel so wild it makes alien reproduction look like a government-funded soap opera. They dig into the film’s unapologetically horny horror, questionable science, and the endless supply of slime and skin. From astronauts gone rogue to DNA gone haywire, the guys unpack the movie’s mix of sci-fi spectacle and late-’90s sleaze. Along the way, they debate the film’s surprisingly solid practical effects, its, uh, unique approach to gender politics, and that unforgettable finale. It’s part alien invasion, part erotic fever dream — and all ridiculous fun.

Troy and Roger tackle Cathy’s Curse (1977), a Canadian possession oddity that proves not every creepy-kid movie can be The Exorcist. They dig into the film’s baffling dialogue, random supernatural powers, and a cast of characters who make some truly questionable choices. From Cathy’s delightfully mean-spirited antics to an ending that feels like it just sort of gives up, the guys try to make sense of this messy but oddly charming cult curio. Along the way, they chat about the joy of “so-bad-it’s-good” cinema, laugh at the film’s dated tropes, and wonder if anyone involved knew what story they were actually telling. It’s a ride full of head-scratching moments, but as always, Roger and Troy find the fun in the chaos.
