“It’s a bunch of dead-eyed, CW, catalog models…” - Andrew, on this cast of dead meats On this week’s episode, the 2024 Halloween Spooktacular continues on the FOUR-OR MOVIE journey with the absolutely dreadful box office juggernaut, The Final Destination! How silly are all these 3D gags? Why did they cut the budget so harshly on this one, thus killing all their special effects? Why did the writers think the script needed that slur when you can already tell that the character is racist? And how in the world do you make one of these movies without the legendary Tony Todd? PLUS: Eric and Steve conjure the Bye Bye Man!  The Final Destination stars Bobby Campo, Shantel VanSanten, Nick Zano, Haley Webb, Mykelti Williamson, Krista Allen, Andrew Fiscella, Stephanie Honoré, Lara Grice, Jackson Walker, Phil Austin, and Justin Welborn as Racist; directed by David Ellis.

“More often than not, I’m fighting for my life!” - Eric, on his recurring nightmares On this week’s episode, our Halloween Spooktacular kicks off and, in the spirit of this year’s FOUR-OR MOVIE theme, we’re chatting about Renny Harlin’s English language debut, A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master! How great is this Freddy-assisting dog that pees fire? Did we really need to start the movie with a Bible quote, when a scroll about the lore of the Dream Master would’ve been much more helpful? How cool is the big Freddy soul escape sequence at the end? And should Joey’s parents have bought him that water bed? PLUS: Did Wishbone the Literature Dog flirt with human women on that show? A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master stars Robert Englund, Lisa Wilcox, Tuesday Knight, Brooke Theiss, Toy Newkirk, Andras Jones, Danny Hassel, Ken Sagoes, Rodney Eastman, and Jake as Jason the Dog; directed by Renny Harlin.

“You don’t know why anyone is on this boat!” - Steve, on the bad script On this week’s show, the guys welcome back their good bud, and official WHM Disaster Movie Expert™️, Justin J. Case to chat about the grimmer-than-average disaster flick, Poseidon! How brutal are all these kills? Is there any other movie that’s this aggressively 2006? Couldn’t they have tried to make any of these characters three-dimensional? And credit where credit’s due, the sequence of the boat tipping over is exquisite! PLUS: Turns out installing elevators in Mortal Kombat’s Outworld is pretty involved!

“I’m scanning pornography into the computer to make a lady!” - Eric as George W. Bush On this week’s show, we’re chatting about the 1985 John Hughes-directed, sci-fi sex comedy, Weird Science! How strange is it that back in the day, these creep-tacular incels were just considered harmless, lovable nerds? Why would they cut out all the solid Bride of Frankenstein conversation from the theatrical cut? Has there been a better titular song in cinema? Is this weird science, or weird computer magic? How cool is all the reversed footage at the end? And are those grandparents dead or what? PLUS: Christopher Nolan - huge Weird Science fan? Weird Science stars Anthony Michael Hall, Kelly LeBrock, Ilan Mitchell-Smith, Suzanne Snyder, Judie Aronson, Robert Downey Jr., Robert Rusler, Vernon Wells, Britt Leach, Michael Berryman, and the late, great Bill Paxton as Chet; directed by John Hughes.
