HTWDT 57: Resident Evil (2002) Resident Evil (2026)
Episode 57
Show notes
Hello Whole Damn family...Resident Evil you say? Resident Evil you say again? How about a double dose? In this episode, we get real residential in Raccoon City. Our first movie Paul (watch my wife naked) Anderson directs the original adaptation of the Resident Evil video game franchise. This version from (2002) flashbangs first and asks questions later. We talk absurd AI and bad company policy. In the second half of the show we cover the new Resident Evil (2026) adaptation and discuss survival horror on the Mcalister, Mcfly, McClain scale, according to Zach Cregger. There's some good behind-the-scenes on both of these. Is this new one a horror comedy? Only Mr.T knows for sure. He pities the poor fools who don't listen to this episode.

Opa! Whole Damn Family, we spin a bit of fantasy this episode for some laughs and the ins and outs of Greek Mythology. So grab the olive oil and the yogurt and join us on an epic journey as we delve into (1981) Clash of the Titans and the Christopher Nolan epic everyone is on about (2026) The Odyssey. In this episode, you'll discover what Greek mythological creatures actually sound like and learn what Tom Jones and Calibos have in common. How close is Nolan's vision to Homer's tale?

Episode 53

Hey Whole Damn family! We bent the rules a little bit because James had always wanted to do Strange Darling (2023) so here we are with what is a banger of a double feature, matching it with The Hitcher (1986). On this episode, we learn not to pick up hitchhikers and not to go on a one-night stand from a bar. Life lessons from HTWDT. We also get help from our friends at both Slash U and I Wanna Be in the Sequel. We talk about movie character names, we get into some Squatch Lore, and we challenge you to something at Applebees...listen and find out how to win!!

HTWDT 52: Demons (1985) Evil Dead Burn (2026)
Episode 52
Show notes
Well Whole Damn Family. We've done a lot of things, both Evil and Dead, this year, and the tradition continues this episode! We start with the Italian Dario Argento/Lamberto Bava gore fest Demons from (1985) Can you believe growing up with Mike, James had never seen it! What will he think? Is it too old school for him to jive, or does the ending of this movie push him over the edge with 4-cylinder wind-in-your-hair and katana-in-your-hand joy? After we get possessed by an ancient mask and an old Latin book. We crack the flesh-bound cover on another old Latin book, with (2026) Evil Dead Burn. We totally feel the burn on this one and give you the goods in spoiler-free, Whole Damn Thing style reviews. Special guest stars are Bobby (Tony the Pimp) Rhodes and terrible Italian and French accents.

HTWDT 51: Cube (1997) Backrooms (2026)
Episode 51
Show notes
Hey Whole Damn Family! When we heard about Backrooms, we immediately thought of pairing it with this low-budget, smart, and successful sci-fi thriller, Cube (1997), and we think we were on the money with this one. Fans of Robert Loggia, rejoice; we open up a gem from the vault that maybe you don't know about. What's it got to do with Cube or Backrooms, you might ask... nothing, it was just another tangent. Speaking of tangents. We also wrote a Vin Diesel movie before we moved on to the second movie, Backrooms (2026). We fall into some deep tangents in the Backrooms as well; some involve history lessons, and we were wrong, but don't worry, we fixed it! There's lots to unpack in this weirdly sci-fi horror mixtape of an episode.

HTWDT 50: Flash Gordon (1980) Masters of the Universe (2026)
Episode 50
Show notes
Hello Whole Damn Family, this is something a bit different for our 50th episode! We decided to get nostalgic about our childhoods and explore these two movies. Honestly, this is the most fun we've had making an episode, and it shows! Does the campy nature of Flash Gordon (1980) still hold it strong? Can Masters of the Universe (2026) match it in goofy wonder? These movies may have more in common than you think. Only one way to find out. Listen and laugh, both with us and at us as we talk heavy behind-the-scenes stories and lore on Flash Gordon and Masters of the Universe. Oh and Mike Sings Flash Ahhhhhh!!

HTWDT 49: Audition (1999) Obsession (2026)
Episode 49
Show notes
Hey, Whole Damn Family, this is just a casual rom-com weekend double feature. Just some light entertainment. Nothing heavy or freaky here...The first half of the show, we both watched Takashi Miike 's Audition (1998) for the FIRST TIME! Wow okay, well, we were prepared because we knew. To ease us into it James does some relaxing Haiku. After that, we call the One Wish Willow help line and talk all about the box office record-breaking sensation that is Curry Barker's Obsession (2026). Is it all hype, or is the hype legit?

Show notes
Hey, Whole Damn Family! This episode, we are inviting you to stay the night with us in two haunted hotel rooms! First, we explore the grab bag Stephen King pulled from to get 1408 (2011) , starring John Cusack, and then we head over to the Emerald Isle for Damien McCarthy's latest Hokum (2026), starring Adam Scott. Both of these films have more jumpscares than a haunted trampoline...Someone call Stephen King we have an idea for him in a creepy gym!! It's dated with this post, so you can't steal it! #stephenking #funnymoviereview #horrorfan #industryinsider #horror

Episode 47
Show notes
Hey, Whole Damn Family! Don't let the title of the first movie fool you, there's a lot beneath the Cabin in this horror trope, Sam Raimi-inspired, zombie redneck torture family feud in the woods movie. Directed by Drew Goddard, Cabin in the Woods (2011) is a fun one, and we add a little insight into the making of it. There's also a lot going on with the Samurai Tarantino spaghetti-western Shaw Brothers action-horror movie. They Will Kill You (2026) by director Kiril Sokolof. You are marked safe from Mike singing in this episode.

HTWDT Episode 46: The Evil Dead (1981) Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026)
Episode 46
Show notes
Hello, Whole Damn Family. This episode, we have an all-time classic! Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead from (1981). Luckily, James discovered an old reel-to-reel with the synopsis on it. So he plays it. Don't worry, we didn't play the Latin parts, so you're "marked safe from being turned into a Deadite" by this episode (we think). In the second half of the show, we discuss (2026) Lee Cronin's The Mummy, which is just as evil and almost as dead. Mike sings again (that should keep the Deadites away). The boys definitely have a good time talking about these two. There are also some good behind-the-scenes tidbits in this one.

Hey Whole Damn Family. All aboard for this episode, making stops in old TV references, Korean action-horror, and more of Mike singing (we're not saying that's a good thing). First up is the Korean classic Train to Busan (2016), which is destined for an American remake soon. After that, we do a spoiler-free version of Director Nia DaCosta's new film 28 Years Later : The Bone Temple (2026), followed by us ruining the whole damn thing. Mike also makes call out to a Korean ruler to join our Patreon and win a shirt...are you him? If so let us know!

HTWDT Episode 44: The Ring (2002) Undertone (2026)
Episode 44
Show notes
It's AV night for the Whole Damn Family. First, it's old-school videotapes as we adjust the tracking on this underrated classic. We say underrated because its Rotten Tomatoes score is crap, and we cannot figure out why. With heavy hitters like Gore Verbinski, Naomi Watts, and makeup FX by Legend Rick Baker, it's (2002) The Ring, which of course is a remake of a J-Horror classic Ringu. We break down a lot of this movie and even talk about Ringu's original inspiration beyond just the novel by Koji Suzuki . Our newer match-up for this video selection is audio only, with Undertone (2026), the new low-budget film released by A24. We get deep into the backward masking and find the hidden messages of this new film directed by newcomer Ian Tuason and starring Nina Kiri from The Handmaid's Tale.

HTWDT Episode 43: Natural Born Killers (1994) The Bride! (2026)
Episode 43
Show notes
Hey, Whole Damn family! This episode is two hardcore punk rock, bizzaro, movies about relationships and love. Do you like Sid and Nancy or Bonnie and Clyde or Simon and Garfunkle? Then walk down the aisle with us on this one. We got some great behind-the-scenes of both of these movies. Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers from 1994, based on a Tarantino (heavily rewritten) script, learn some wild tales that went into making this movie you may have forgotten about. And then we get into Maggie Gyllenhaal's, The Bride! (2026), yeah, it's tanking at the box office, but it's so worth seeing. This movie deserves more than it got. Mike isn't just saying that because he worked on it. You'll learn what went into recreating the classic monster with a new vision and feel. There are some shoutouts at the end, maybe we yell your name?!

HTWDT Episode 42: Scream (1996) and Scream 7 (2026)
Episode 42
Show notes
Hello Family (read that in Ghostface voice). Well, since Scream 7 is currently burning down the box office. We thought it appropriate to pair it with the original (which Mike worked on). That's right, the Wes Craven classic Scream (1996) and Scream 7 (2026) were directed by Screams' original writer and creator, Kevin Williamson. If you're a fan of the series, this is a must-listen! Lots of behind-the-scenes bits and fun trivia. The Stephen King Dark Web even unearthed a promo for Scream, The Franchise game. This may seem like a long episode, but let's face it, there was a lot to scream about. Plus maybe Roger Jackson pops in...

HTWDT Episode 41: Misery (1990) Send Help (2026)
Episode 41
Show notes
Hey, Whole Damn Family! This episode is secluded with loving couples, well, sorta... We kick it off with (1990)'s Misery from the mind of Stephen King and the directing prowess of the late great Rob Reiner. This episode dives deep into what if Bette Midler was actually cast as Annie Wilkes. She'd be all "Boogie Woogie Oogy", we think. There's some good behind the scenes on Misery and of course we dig up an old Misery promo from the Stephen King Darkweb. After that Sam Raimi is back with his brand new movie Send Help (2026) Does it stand up to his past work or do we vote it off the island? Also how helpful can a finance bro be when your stranded. Listen and find out!

HTWDT Episode 40: Cujo (1983) and Good Boy (2025)
Episode 40
Show notes
Hey, Whole Damn Family, here is our 40th episode! Wow, we are cruising right along! This one goes to the dogs, though. In this episode, we review Cujo from 1983. It gave us a chance to once again explore the Stephen King Darkweb, boy, that thing has been a wealth of information. Cujo was also directed by Lewis Teague, who directed Alligator in episode 38. There's a good amount of behind-the-scenes for this one. In our recent movie, we talk about Good Boy (2025). Does the dog die? Everyone wanted to know, and the answer is NO! In the end, he's still a good boy. We talk a bit about how the director Ben Leonberg, and his wife, producer Kari Fischer, used their own dog Indy over years of shooting. pretty cool!

HTWDT Episode 39: My Bloody Valentine (1981) and Heart Eyes (2025)
Episode 39
Show notes
Love is in the air! Happy Valentines we dropped this on Valentines! For you! "How you doin’"(cue the Booty Call music). We start with a deep dive on a classic slasher (1981), My Bloody Valentine, where Mike gets into some good behind-the-scenes stuff and talks about the uncut version…and how much the MPAA butchered this movie. Also, Mike sings again! After that, we cozy up on the couch for our second feature (2025) Heart Eyes (yeah, we should have reviewed this one last year…but we didn’t.) Regardless, it’s the perfect pairing for your Valentine's celebration, however and whomever you wish to spend it with. Seriously, we are really excited about this pairing and hope you agree!

HTWDT Episode 38: Alligator (1980) and Anaconda (2025)
Episode 38
Show notes
Hey Whole Damn Family! This episode is cold-blooded. We start off with a favorite of Mike's (1980) Alligator. Directed by Lewis Teague. In this episode, we learn that this movie isn't appropriate for four-year-olds, or so James claims, also...was Sketchers secretly involved in experiments on puppies? You'll have to listen to find out that no, that's not true. But we do at least cover the urban legend of what happens when you flush a baby alligator into the sewers...magic thats what happens. After the Lobby Break, we do a spoiler-free review of the new (2025) Anaconda reboot that came out on Christmas Day, starring Jack Black and Paul Rudd. Mike sings a song as his opener in honor of Jack Black and Sir Mix-a-lot (seriously, you can't miss that).
