Wolfen (1981)

Sleep all day. Podcast all night. It’s fun to listen to Kill By Kill as we get a taste for a true vampire flick classic and talk 1987’s THE LOST BOYS!! Join us as we cruise the “murder capital of the world” for the sexiest Tiger Beat-ready bloodsuckers ever to grace the silver screen!! Along the way, we talk about the film's rocky journey to theaters, Santa Clara’s wild music scene, the town’s laze-faire attitude towards its missing kid problem, the golden age of cool video stores, and one of the best horror movie bedrooms we’ve ever covered!! All this, plus a Choose Your Own Deathventure bound to give plumbers nightmares, and we tackle the conundrum of kid vampires in cinema!! Take flight with 80s horror classic and us today!!

*You know our philosophy by now: podcast a good time, all the time! That’s why we’re converting this episode of Kill The Rock Star into a 40th-anniversary celebration of one of our favorite death-filled comedies of all time, THIS IS SPINAL TAP!! Here to help us go to 11 is Returning Champion Becky Wilson!! We’re giving the Tap the full Kill By Kill treatment, breaking down every character’s green skeleton, foil-covered cucumber, Saucy Jack dreams, and ability to get 17 people into a single King Leisure bed!! We go deep into how this seminal mockumentary shaped our sense of humor, the difference between stupid and clever, the Fluffkin and Fleckman effect, and briefly recount the time we were taken to dinner by a self-described “serial killer.” All this, plus the most explosive Choose Your Own Deathventure of all time, so make sure to put Kill By Kill first and “Puppet Show” second as soon as this hits your podcast feed people!!

An undying love. A forbidden curse. Some weirdo just hanging out in a college clocktower, negging you in class. That’s right - we’re combining our Vampire series with After Dark to bring you a cornerstone of the “I’m a teen star who wants to be taken seriously” genre in 1995’s EMBRACE OF THE VAMPIRE!! Here to take us to school about this pinnacle of blouse-shedding cinema is writer, co-host of This Ends At Prom, and now Returning Champion BJ Colangelo!! After Patrick apologizes for never being able to pronounce anyone’s last name, we dig into what makes these characters tick: horniness! That’s it. That’s the character trait. Along the way, we talk Red Fang Diaries, awkward neck bites, Draculau Ballet, Jennifer Tilly worship, introduce #GetAnhkd, and dumb nerds who need to make it weird!! All this, plus a net-enhanced version of Choose Your Own Deathventure, and we get another character who is telegraphed as sexy via beret!!

The thumb might be out, but don’t take that as approval! We watched the pilot episode of HBO’s THE HITCHHIKER and get taken for a real ride as we talk old-world curses, modern hair helmets, Dune grandmothers, un-sexy step-sister fantasies, and just openly thirst after Bruce Greenwood and his visible dong (look for it)!! All this, plus we bask in the afterglow of post-funeral sex, play a smashingly good game of Choose Your Own Deathventure, and warn against participating in sexy times near talking birds!! Hop in if you dare!!

Hear ye, hear ye - sex court is now in session!! The (not quite so) honorable Kill By Kill After Dark presides over a movie that could only legally happen in 1993's BODY OF EVIDENCE!! Here to help us prosecute this case is TV writer and author of the Kat Kelly Mystery series, Tess Rafferty!! As evidence, we present arguments against the idea of berets being sexy, caucasian acupuncturists, nipple clamp confusion, spiking your Afrin, and the best/worst line of the movie, “Have you ever watched animals make love, Frank?” All this, plus BDSM for Beginners, a sensual version of Choose Your Own Deathventure, and the worst court gallery ever gathered on film!! The candlewax is hot and… gosh, we wish the rest of this movie was. 

Check out Tess' Substack here! Order her fantastic Kat Kelly Mystery series here!

Love is in the air, and revenge is ready to catch a ride as we talk HBO’s “Twilight Zone with boobs” - THE HITCHHIKER! This particular episode of the series was brought to us by the director of the Salem Horror Fest (and Returning Champion), Kay Lynch because it does the impossible: make anyone care about a character in this paper-thin anthology series!! Along the way, we dig into why this TV episode from 1983 has a more nuanced examination of the trans experience than we’ve seen from a lot of media in the last 40 years as we cringe at bra slicing, examine Robert Vaughn’s toupee, crossover with Mission Impossible, worship at the alter of Sybil Danning, and  take up the scalpel with the liquor shakes!! All this, plus we visit exotic Airport Bar, cut up our usual Choose Your Own Deathventure game, and change how you’ll look at pizza for a while!! It’s a real “laugh until you cry” situation for this episode of Kill By Kill: After Dark!!

It’s time to crank up the tunes… and FEAR as we bring you the mechanical mayhem that ruined childhoods and explained way too much about one of the biggest bands of the 70s!! You wanted the best, but what you got is KISS MEETS THE PHANTOM OF THE PARK!! Here to help make sense of this rock n roll nightmare are two old friends and Returning Champions, Dennis Satterfield and Scot Burklin (the Inside The Idiot Box podcast)!! Along the way, we talk bad evil plans, assemble a human pyramid riot, ride the Giant Flicking Tongue, consult the film’s very explanatory tie-in novelization, jump on the robot barbershop quartet trend of 1978, and meet the Schmooniversal Schmonsters!! All this, plus we struggle to understand all the KISS band members' power sets and accents, play a robotic version of Choose Your Own Deathventure, and karate fight albino ape robots!! That’s what you thought this movie was about, right? Karate fights with albino ape robots - cause it is. 

Check out Dennis & Scot's very funny podcast, INSIDE THE IDIOT BOX, wherever you get your podcasts!!

Kill The Rock Star is back, crawling into your podcast feed like a multi-legged insect through a bathroom window… a real lyrical allusion this song makes in connection to horniness that takes every ounce of our intellectual powers to untangle!! That's right - we're talking Rebbie Jackson's Centipede, and here to help us make sense of it all is Returning Champion Megan Sunday!! Along the way, we talk awkward tour guide spiels, erect cobras, loose tigers, matching cummerbunds, erotic rictus, lightning fingers, and Michael Jackson dedicating this song to “all my mannequin friends,” among many, many other bewildering details!! This Top 25 hit is a little discussed but truly confounding pop artifact that will have you laughing as much as scratching your head and shooting lightning bolts out of your fingertips, so join us, won’t you?

Check out Megan's Dune podcast Let's Get Weirding, wherever you find podcasts!

Start the clock - you’ve got exactly 30 seconds to remember if you’ve ever heard of 1981’s GRADUATION DAY!! Chances are you might not be familiar with this track and field and roller boogie-obsessed slasher, but after this episode, you’ll be racing to watch it!! Join Patrick and Gena as they welcome comedian Shawn Carter (his album Boston to Bristol is out now!) to help them blow the whistle on the many, many ethics violations the students, teachers, and staff commit as easily as breathing… until they stop! Along the way, we chart Patrick’s personal connection to yet another slasher movie, overload on red herrings, check out some visible erections, see through a girl's locker room window, get defenestrated by a dead body, and witness the rock & roll glory that is "Felony"!! All this, plus some innovative #GetBunked kills, an educational edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure, and we meet our new favorite character: Football Sword!! Don your cap and gown for a truly bonkers motion picture with us today, people!! 

Check out Shawn Carter's new album, Boston To Bristol here or wherever you enjoy comedy albums!! Also, if you're near Bristol, TN - visit his club, the Blue Ridge Comedy Club!  Follow him on IG: @shawn_carter_ comedy

To celebrate 2024, we're unlocking one of our favorite 2023 bonus episodes from our Patreon feed covering the little-seen, little-understood karate-sploitation flick, ALLEY CAT!! Never heard of it? Well, neither had we until this rock 'em sock 'em lady judo'd her way into our hearts and groins last year, and talking about it was such a good time we want you to join in!! Now *CW the film has many attempts at SA, but absolutely no one gets away with any crime when our girl Billie is taking her own brand of justice to the streets!! Along the way, we talk street gang economics, rookie cops with multiple make-out pads, friends who work at Arby's, guys who meet while jogging, and the most dangerous man in all of Los Angeles... Phil. Cower in his presence!! Check the movie out before or after - it's a good time, regardless!!

NOTE: Next week, we're back with an all-new episode covering 1981's Graduation Day! We wish you all a Happy Holidays and a bright New Year!!
