ABOUT THIS EPISODE
It's every axe murderer's dream: 1988's Edge of the Axe commits to exactly one weapon and never looks back. Jesse, Joel, and Jeannie welcome special guest Gareth "Slasher Trash" Morgan (creator of the Slasher Trash page and an upcoming feature-length slasher documentary) to dig into this Spanish-American slasher obscurity — small-town paranoia, a shockingly prescient "technology will ruin relationships" subplot, tonal whiplash between sitcom hijinks and pig decapitations, and a twist ending that has the crew split on who's actually swinging the blade. Plus: video nasty talk and a masterclass in gaslighting your way into slasher-sequel status.

What does it look like to live deliciously on the wrong side of sanity? Jesse brings the crew to 1971 Connecticut for John D. Hancock's haunting folk horror gem. Part psychological thriller, part vampire mythology, part counterculture eulogy — Let's Scare Jessica to Death is the kind of movie that …
This week we're chopping up the second entry in Carpenter's Apocalypse Trilogy — and we brought backup. Actor Thom Bray joins us to talk about landing the most memorable kill in the film, what it was actually like to get impaled by a bicycle with Alice Cooper, and why Carpenter told him to dial it …
This week on Prime Cuts, the crew watches a forgotten slice of early Oliver Stone — The Hand (1981), starring a very committed Michael Caine as a comic strip artist who loses his hand in a car accident and slowly loses everything else. His marriage, his sanity, and apparently several people in his …
