A Podcast on Elm Street

What's up Dream Warriors! We decided to bang out a bonus episode for Halloween this year and we recruited our homies from The Kilt and The Redneck to discuss the controversial Halloween 3: Season of the Witch. When this came out, people were up in arms because how can the Halloween franchise release a movie without the face of the franchise? This movie has definitely turned into a cult classic since though and one that people can appreciate.

For our game in this one, we did a 6 round horror villain draft, so let us know who you think had the best draft! And be sure to keep your eyes open for our next regularly scheduled episode!

What's up Dream Warriors! We're back with another Hooptober pick, where we each pick a movie off the other's Hooptober list. This week Brooke picked The Devil's Backbone off Marc's list. This was a first time watch for both of us and has solidly put Guillermo del Toro as our most talked about director across both podcasts. Come find out how we feel this one stacks up against his other titles!

For November we decided to get a little wild and cover both new horror series; Crystal Lake and Carrie. Kicking it off with Crystal Lake so tie up the swim trunks and join us as we take a fresh look at Jason and Pamela's story of tragedy.

What's up Dream Warriors! We're all done the Childhood Trauma series and kicking off our October episodes with The Blair Witch Project from 1999. This movie is a pioneer in the found footage subgenre and it honestly paved the way for so many others. There's no denying that the team behind this movie marketed it expertly but does the movie itself hold up after 27 years?

Come back in a couple weeks for Brooke's pick of The Devil's Backbone!

What's up Dream Warriors! We are wrapping up our Childhood Trauma series this week with one neither of us have ever seen but it was recommended to us for this series and wow, Return to Oz did not dissapoint; both in the creepy factor but also in being a solid ass movie! If The Wizard of Oz made you feel warm and cuddly, this one will rip that innocence away from you and replace it with depression, fear and wishing you were still in Kansas.

This movie didn't shy away from dealing with some pretty heavy subjects such as mental health, the loss of childhood, medical practices and just overall childhood fear. If you have not watched this, we definitely recommend checking it out at least once in your life.

Come back in a couple of weeks for our first October episode; we'll each be picking a movie from the other's Hooptober list and we're kicking it off with The Blair Witch Project!

What's up Dream Warriors! We're back with yet ANOTHER 1982 traumatic childrens movie with The Dark Crystal! This was a first time watch for Brooke but a source of Marc's nightmares as a kid. How does this one rate on your childhood trauma scale? And do you still think it holds up with the creepiness?

Come back in a couple of weeks for a movie neither of us have watched but we both agree looks like it came straight from the pits of Hell to wreak havoc on the unsuspecting minds of children everywhere, and that movie is Return To Oz from 1985!

What's up Dream Warriors! We're back with Brooke's pick and another movie in our Childhood Trauma series; E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial! Brooke watched this once as a kid and then avoided it like the plague until now, so come find out if he thinks the trauma was warranted or if it's not quite as bad as he once thought.

Come back in a couple of weeks for Marc's pick of The Dark Crystal from 1982 (our 3rd 1982 movie in a row...I'm noticing a trend here.)

What's up Dream Warriors! We're back with another Childhood Trauma movie and Marc's pick of The Secret of NIMH! In an era where Disney was in a weird place, came a man named Don Bluth and he made a run of some of the most influential animated movies in the 80's and 90's, starting with this gem! This movie has so many layers you'd think Shrek would eat it for a snack and we try to unpack it as best as we can.

Come back in 2 weeks for Brooke's pick of E.T.!

What's up Dream Warriors! We're back with another Childhood Trauma episode and Brooke's first pick of the theme is one that scared him so much as a kid it was a one and done movie. This movie in question is Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland! This is one that Marc had never heard of but was happy to have watched now.

Discussion Points:

- The 10 year production and release of this movie.

- Dreams and how the movie portrays them for kids.

- How kids really like to test the waters to see how much they can get away with.

- The underlying themes and various viewer portrayals of the movie.

- Dark Animated Movie Villains: Spooky vs Kooky

Check out the episode to see if it's still as creepy as it was for wee little Brooke and don't forget to come back in 2 weeks for another animated movie in this theme and Marc's pick of The Secret of NIHM!

What's up Dream Warriors! Brooke is finally back from vacation, which means we're finally back to recording! We're both very excited for the next couple of months where we'll be doing a Childhood Trauma series and discussing movies that aren't horror but freaked us out as kids. Marc is kicking this off with his pick of Labyrinth from 1986. This one is a first time watch for Brooke but an all-time great for Marc.

Come back in 2 weeks for Brooke's pick of Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland.

What's up Dream Warriors! Brooke decided it's been too long since we've done a Wes Craven movie so he picked one of his lesser talked about, but still potentially cult statused, The People Under The Stairs from 1991. We've both seen this one before but it's been a really long time. We agreed this is a great entry level horror but really doesn't live up to Wes' name. Let us know your thoughts on this one!

Come back in a few weeks when we'll be starting a 2 month theme of non-horror movies that scared us as kids and may even still get under our skin as adults. We'll be kicking it off with Marc's pick of Labyrinth!

What's up Dream Warriors! We're back with another 2025 banger, Weapons! In this episode we discuss the the fact that horror has been absolutely crushing it lately and how these new age directors are coming out of nowhere and making some of the best horror movies we've ever seen. We take a bit of a deep dive into the message behind the movie and what Zach Cregger's vision was for it.

Come back in 2 weeks for Brooke's pick of lesser talked about movie from a legendary drector with...The People Under the Stairs!

What's up Dream Warriors! We're coming at you with teeth bared for Brooke's pick of the record breaking, massively regarded and award winning, Sinners! This movie came out last year and absolutely took the world by storm with it's incredible soundtrack, original story and amazing performances from all actors. Needless to say, we both love this movie and are excited to see what Coogler has cooking in the future.

Come back in 2 weeks for another 2025 movie and Marc's pick of Weapons!

What's up Dream Warriors! We've been tasked by our good friend Ben to talk about the 1979 Italian horror, Beyond the Darkness/Buried Alive/Buio Omega. This was a first time watch for both of us and we both had different feelings on it but we both agree the English dubbing was awful and the practical effects were great. We want to thank Ben for requesting this one and bringing one to the table we've never watched!

Come back in 2 weeks for Brooke's pick of the massively popular and record breaking, Sinners!

What's up Dream Warriors! Brooke figured out that we had never recorded an M. Night Shyamalan movie and he said "that's about to change!" and chose Signs from 2002. We discussed where this movie ranks among Shyamalan's movies, what would we do in this situation and we both did blind rankings of 5 different alien movies.

Come back in 2 weeks for Marc's pick of Beyond the Darkness/Buried Alive/Buio Omega!

What's up Dream Warriors! We completed our month of franchise episodes and have returned to our regular style episodes; although we had a blast doing them, we're looking forward to bringing you quality single movie episodes again! With that being said, Marc's first pick of April is The Autopsy of Jane Doe! This movie does a great job of cranking the creepy vibes up to 11 and had a great twist in it, along with an incredible performance by our Jane Doe.

Come back in 2 weeks for Brooke's pick -- and our first M. Night Shyamalan movie -- Signs!

What's up Dream Warriors! It's our last episode of March and therefore our last franchise episode for a little bit, to wrap it all up Brooke decided to keep us on our toes with the Wishmaster franchise! We both agree that 2 of these were decent and then the franchise did a nose dive off a high cliff and landed in a fiery mess of poor CGI, terrible scripts and plots that never should have made it to production.

If you've watched these movies, let us know your thoughts on them!

Come back in 2 weeks where we'll be back to our normal style episodes and Marc's pick of The Autopsy of Jane Doe!

What's up Dream Warriors! It's officially our birthday month and we decided to go big for this one! We're both picking a franchise (5 movies or less for this one) to discuss and Marc is kicking it off with Critters! This franchise is 5 movies, spanning from 1986 to 2019, about little alien fluff balls coming to Earth to fuck shit up!

Neither of us has watched the entire franchise prior to this so we went into this one fairly fresh faced. Come find out our thoughts on it, how we ranked the movies and how these little space hedgehogs rank among other horror creatures!

Come back in 2 weeks for Brooke's pick of the Wishmaster franchise!

What's up Dream Warriors! We're closing out February with Brooke's pick of Get Out from 2017. This is Jordan Peele's directorial debut and our debut of Peele on the podcast; it's honestly insane that we haven't covered any of his movies before now! We both agree that this is arguably the best directorial debut for any horror director and it instantly put Peele in the upper echelon of wildly talented up and coming directors.

Come back in a couple of weeks for our birthdays month, where we're both picking a franchise to cover. To kick it all of, Marc has picked the Critters franchise! Obviously not great movies but oftentimes the stinkers create a great discussion!

What's up Dream Warriors! It's been a while since we've done a franchise watch but we've been itching to do another one, so without further adieu we bring to you...the Hannibal Lecter franchise! This franchise spans from 1986 to 2007 and consists of 5 movies (Manhunter, The Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal, Red Dragon and Hannibal Rising) and focuses one of the most iconic characters in cinema history.

We'd love to hear your thoughts on this franchise and maybe your rankings of the movies!

Come back in 2 weeks for Brooke's pick of Get Out! This is our first Jordan Peele movie on the podcast and we both agree it's kind of blasphemous that we haven't done one yet but here we are!

What's up Dream Warriors! We're here with Brooke's first pick of 2026, Incident In A Ghostland! This pick took Marc by surprise, for reasons you'll find out about in the episode. This movie is a psychological thriller and whether you love it or hate it, you can agree that it's messed up and very effective.

Come back in 2 weeks for our first franchise episode in a long ass time, where we'll be talking about the Hannibal Lector franchise!
