a few of you brought to my attention the fact that Splattercast 77 mysteriously cut off after the 38 min mark. I thought I might have screwed up when I created the file in audacity so I went back and checked: I didn’t. The mp3 works just fine on my desktop. Apparently, the mp3 stopped uploading when i posted it. That said, I’m now re-uploading the working file so in a few minutes you should be getting the full episode 77.
including Deejay’s rant against blind people being employed. Enjoy, and my apologies for the initial upload screwup.

Much like Eight Belles at the Kentucky Derby, this episode needed to be euthanized for the good of everyone involved. We talk about… um… I don’t even remember what we talk about in this episode. I remember having a good time making it, though, so I hope you will have a good time listening.

Splattercast #76 has been uploaded. We used up all of our focus on last week’s Hellraiser episode so this one is very loose. Each of us casually review some horror movies that we watched over the weekend and Deejay reveals a soft spot for the Robin Williams tour de force, Bicentennial Man. Shout outs to Mail Order Zombie and Dried Blood Podcast for sending in the clips that bookend this episode.

Splattercast 74…It’s Alive.
We give our usual host Jeff the night off so he can recover from the physical exertion of packaging and shipping all of those TGH dvd’s, and in his stead you get ME! This week, we review Larry Cohen’s It’s Alive trilogy and have a long discussion about nostalgia affecting the horror viewing experience that flies off into a tangent about practical vs. CG effects in movies. We then run down the dvd releases and Steve professes the hotness of a loyal listener. Steve, the Splattercast is not a vehicle for you to try and hook up 
Enjoy!

Splattercast #73
We’re sans Deejay and Brady this evening so you’re in for a short cast. We talk a little about Uwe Boll and then get into our review of the week “The Ruins”.

Splattercast #72
Every once in a while, a podcast has an off day. Technical difficulties throw everyone off their game, a lack of structure causes long awkward pauses, and every joke just falls flat. Unfortunately, that seems to happen to us every week. This week was especially bad, but luckily, it’s only 50 minutes long so you won’t have to suffer through it as long as you normally do. This week, we review the original April Fool’s Day as well as the recent re-gurgitation. To fill time, we read lots of DVD releases. And uh…that’s about it. Oh yeah, you should buy a copy of our movie.

Listen.
This week is all about reviews: Funny Games, Day of the Dead (remake), Shutter, Jumper, and Spiral. Deejay gives us the “facts” of how Popeye’s Chicken always pops up in low-income neighborhoods and we respond to a listener who e-mailed us about having sex with an alien that has morphed into a Playboy Playmate. Enjoy.

Episode 70 is now posted.
Yet another train wreck this week (they seem to be happening with increasing regularity) as Deejay and Steve set the agenda. It’s all Critters all the time. There’s really not much else to say about this episode other than we apologize to any of our Roman Catholic listeners for Deejay’s drunken offensive comments. Take solace in the fact that Deejay is the Splattercast equivalent of Jeremiah Wright, only more lovable and slightly less Anti-American
enjoy.

Splattercast #69 has now been posted….
We’ve been endorsed by Eliot Spitzer as this week is all about lesbian erotic vampire horror films. We review a plethora of stuff, including a couple Jess Franco flicks as well as Tony Scott’s first film, The Hunger. We also discuss a bit about why we think people enjoy these films. Is it just to see some nudity or is there something deeper? Oh yeah, and we go off on a tangent about pizza. Deejay doesn’t seem to have lost any of his crass form from last week. After apologizing to Brady, he then goes on to insult all of our handicapped listeners. Intro and outro music is from the latest Nine Inch Nails album, Ghosts. It’s good. Go buy it.
It’s another 90 minutes of Splattercast insanity mixed with sheer unadulterated man sexines. You think this week was bad? Just wait until episode 70: The Deejay and Steve Movie Selection Spectacular. God help us all.

Episode 68 is up.
I tried really hard to keep this episode on the tracks. Unfortunately, with no Jeff or Brady to have my back, I failed miserably. This episode, Deejay explains all the various things that come out of his body, waxes philosophical, calls out Brady, and explains his love for Critters. Steve attempts to explain why he hates good movies, explains his love for Critters, and rags on Jeff. In fact, we all rag on Jeff, because that’s what he deserves for ditching out on his hosting duties and sticking me with a Deejay drunk on Colt .45 and a hostile Steve.
Special thanks go out to the band Joe Hero for submitting their song “Just Like Bruce Campbell Did”.
My apologies to the Japanese, Brady, and all the other listeners who were offended by Deejay in this episode. But I don’t apologize for Jeff. He deserves it.

Splattercast 66 is posted.
This week, Deejay calls in from a random family in Phoenix’s living room, we chat a bit about the upcoming Splatcademy Awards, we review Fido, The Girl Next Door, and The Orphanage, and probably get some poor Chinese listener arrested as we give some comments on China’s banning of horror films, and almost certainly the Splattercast. In fact, I am hereby declaring that we are the first horror podcast banned in China! Sure…I don’t have any evidence of this…but we here at the cast like ghosts and goblins, and I can guarantee you, unlike all the other horror podcasts, we were made right here in the good ole US of A. Ain’t no lead paint on us, bitches!
Jeff’s note: In this episode we mention a forum thread and users ArsonCuff and Kingmob re: The Girl Next Door. Here’s the link to that thread. I definitely invite any of you who have seen the movie to visit the forum and add your thoughts. It’s the most challenging film I’ve seen in quite a while.

Splattercast #65 is now up for your listening pleasure.
Or maybe that’s displeasure? This week, a couple foul mouthed hicks from Tennessee who call themselves the Sleepy Boys guest host. Since guests, no matter how disagreeable we may find them, are subject to the ancient Greek principle of Guest/Host hospitality, and since we really don’t want to piss off Zeus, we allow them to select the films for this week. Their choices? H.G. Lewis’s The Wizard of Gore and Frank Hennenlotter’s Basket Case. After our reviews, the cast then devolves into a discussion on feces (size, shape, consistency, etc.) before we wrap up with the DVD releases.
If you have virgin ears, you may want to go watch The Wizard of Gore instead of listening to episode 65. It’ll probably be less traumatic.
Visit our friends at The Sleepy Cast.

Splattercast #64 has been uploaded.
We make a lot of jokes about watching crappy movies so you don’t have to, but this time we’re dead serious: the Howling movies suck. Aside from the first one, which is moderately good, the franchise is total garbage and should be avoided. In this episode we review all seven films in the series and ponder how these movies kept getting made back in the 1980s and early 90s.

Splattercast #63 has been uploaded. We venture into non-horror territory to review both the first and the last Rambo films. We all agree that the original First Blood is a great movie, while opinions on the 2008 version are varied, to say the least. Hopefully this episode won’t cause anyone to have a psycho ‘Nam flashback.

A couple things to mention before I describe this episode: First, my apologies to Steve and Deejay for having to bump the “Christina Ricci Hard Nipples” post down. I am truly sorry that her erect erasers will no longer be the first thing you see when you visit the site. I’ll make up for it somehow. Second, the audio quality seems a little wonky on this episode. Don’t freak out, it’s not Episode 58 quality or anything. But I’ve been having some technical issues on my end (my computer is stupid) and Jeff was cutting out a bit with his Wi-Fi connection. Deejay cuts in and out too. Maybe it was just a bad night to be online?
With that said, Episode 62 is up and ready for your listening pleasure. We even managed to do a Splattercast in under an hour (albeit by only 2 minutes)! This week we all review the monster flick Cloverfield and discuss what we like and don’t like about the trend of shaky hand-held cameras in film. Also, back by popular demand (and when I say popular, I mean me) is a new installment of Splatterpiece Theatre, complete with Masterpiece Theatre theme music! Enjoy!
p.s. We got a swell voice mail message from a fan and unfortunately I couldn’t splice it into this episode (we even chatted about it for a bit) because my computer is saying I don’t have the right “codec”…I’m technologically dumb so I’ll send it off to one of the other guys for conversion. So thanks for the message and hopefully we’ll play it next episode. In the meantime, I’ll plug our fans new podcast, Mail Order Zombie, which is going to specialize in reviewing direct-to-video zombie flicks.
