We needed more spookies because the spookies we had made us feel spooked. So we did a roundup, but nobody wanted to try and edit this in a week to get it out with the others, so here we are, hanging out in April and wishing it was October.Buckle up for reviews on:The under-seen John Carpenter banger starring Sam Neil, "In the Mouth of Madness (1994)" in which a Stephen King type is unleashing an eldritch horror upon the world and the only question we have is DO YOU READ SUTTER KANE.Na Hong-jin's 2016 "The Wailing" follows a goofy police officer (Kwak Do-won) dealing with a village being overtaken by evil and fake prophets lurk in the wings to make things worse. What happens when the evil infection gets to his family? Find out, but also marvel at having to get intimate with your wife in your car in the driveway because too many people live in your home.The spanish language When Evil Lurks (Cuando acecha la maldad), follows a demon outbreak in a world where everyone knows about "The Rotten" and the dangers associated with them. In a film full of brain eating, what's the spookiest thing? Perhaps it's not listening to your elders, and Demián Salomon, Luis Ziembrowski, Silvia Sabater, Marcelo Michinaux all find out the hard way in Demián Rugna's 2023 gore fest.Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy's 2024 "Dead Mail" follows wildly cool Jasper (Tomas Boykin), who traces dead mail in order to return it to the sender. After getting a blood soaked letter turned over to him, he gets moving on solving where it came from. Is it a hoax? Sterling Macer Jr. and John Fleck round out a low budget and infinitely creative horror flick.Scott Beck and Bryan Woods brought us the Hugh Grant showcase that is 2024's "Heretic". After two young missionaries (Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East) visit Grant's home in order to spread the good word, they realize they're locked in and have to have a face off to escape or else find out if there's a god monster in the basement or if the monster is right in front of them. At least there's blueberry muffins? Rounding out the Spooky Roundup is Oz Perkin's "The Monkey", a splatter fest full of comedy. Twin brothers find their missing dad's toy monkey and quickly realize it kills when it is wound up. The consequences follow them into their adulthood as they're both played by Theo James (from "The Gentlemen" show on Netflix) and an unbelievable mountain of death falls upon a town. Based on a short story from Stephen King, Tatiana Maslany ("Orphan Black"/"She Hulk"), Sarah Levy ("Schitt's Creek") and Adam Scott ("Severence") are along for the ride in Perkin's follow-up to the smash hit "Longlegs".If you like this, subscribe, rate, and if you review it on a podcasting platform, mention a movie you want us to cover in said review and you get a video just like this one.

Sometimes you’re part of a dirty cop team that beats up suspects, sometimes you’re part of a squad of robbers that USUALLY doesn’t kill people, and sometimes you’re the unlikely nerd who is the secret leader of this…DEN OF THIEVESJules finally picked a Gerard Butler movie for us to watch. He’s been threatening for years. Instead of Greenland or Geostorm, he went with this. Butler is part of these cops who want to take down these armored car robbers who just killed a bunch of dudes. The best way to go about that is clearly to attack Ice Cube Jr. and kidnap him. Can these robbers be stopped? Did this live up to Jule’s Butler love? Is 50 Cent kinda good if he doesn’t have lines? Tune in!#podcast #gerardbutler #icecube #osheajackson #50cent #thriller #denofthieves

Sometimes, you gotta take a break from the blow and booze and just enjoy…

Ivan’s xtc.

Danny Huston (who I had no idea was absolutely amazing) stars as Ivan Beckman, a top level Hollywood agent who’s been trying to get Peter Weller to direct a script by one of his writers. But? He dies in the beginning of the movie and the rest is a flashback.

This is based on a Tolstoy novel, directed by Bernard Rose (who would eventually do quite a few Huston movies), and Danny Huston walks around with the most amazing joker grin on his face for almost the whole movie. The sleaze, the wheeling and dealing, the drugs, all of it comes in second place to Huston’s performance as a man who is always putting on a performance, even as he faces the final darkness. I had never heard of this thing and figured why not. Turned out to be a wonderful whim to follow.

If you like this episode, there’s a lot of Jason and Jules’s choices to cruise through. If there’s a movie you want covered on here, all you have to do is review us on Apple Podcasts and mention the film in said review. Tell your friends if you dig it, post it somewhere, give someone a hug.
