Notice me, Senpai, notice me! This week we're fresh outta the Jeff Mines with a 2023 release, Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Souls. Ready your amulets as Martin Dunlop and I enter a world of ghouls, spells, deeply irritating personal quirks and awesome puppets. WARNING: contains discussions of rock and roll power ballads.

I guess the podcast has been....re-animated??

Everyone's favourite Jeffrey Combs podcast returns for the long-awaited (what I am calling) Season Two! And with a bang- me and comedian Tim Clark cover the third film in the Re-Animator trilogy, 2003's Beyond Re-Animator! Come for the bisecting, stay for the bad Irish accents and Tim's frankly haunting Oscars knowledge. 

A group of scientists have developed the resonator, a machine which allows whoever is in range to see beyond normal perceptive reality. But when the experiment succeeds they are immediately attacked by strange life forms.  

On this week’s episode…

Join the crew as we discuss H.P. Lovecraft, Barbara Crampton in tight leather, and Stuart Gordon’s other worldly film, From Beyond (1986).

Shadows of P'Jem is a sequel to The Androrian Incident. Is this episode one of those occurences where the sequel is better than the original?

In Episode 46 of "Combs Crew," we complain about MOTIVATIONAL GROWTH, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year! Okay! This movie has a lot of ideas, but in our personal opinion, we don't think it executed on those ideas very well. Warning: if you really love this movie, consider skipping this episode of Combs Crew, because we don't have a ton of nice things to say about this one...

In this episode, we watched 1991's "Death Falls," a film about an old man who needs PANTS! Where are his PANTS? He steals some PANTS from another man, who then has no PANTS. Jeffrey Combs stars as Lonnie Hawk, a man who screams a lot. It's a great movie! Have you seen it? Let us know in the comments!

For episode 41, we watched "THE LURKING FEAR," a weird and inept H.P. Lovecraft tale where Jeffrey Combs plays "Doc Haggis," an alcoholic doctor who teams up with a woman named Katherine... for some reason... to destroy one or more zombies, or monsters, or demons, or something. This one wasn't so hot, but it was such a confusing mess that it was almost entertaining as a result!

Have you seen "The Lurking Fear?" What did you think? Let us know in the comments!

For our 40th episode, we watched "NECRONOMICON," a collection of three short stories where Jeffrey Combs plays H.P. Lovecraft with the help of some creepy facial prosthetics. It wasn't that bad, but it wasn't that great either!

Have you seen NECRONOMICON? What did you think? Let us know in the comments!

What could have been an interesting 80s slasher is actually a pretty tedious 2000s GrimGore™ slog, as me and Martin Dunlop look at 2007's Brutal. Deeply strange music choices, a very convoluted deux ex machina and a town in Nowhere, USA- Brutal has it all for your early-oughts horror needs. And Jeff has a new hat!  

For episode 39 we watched "ABOMINABLE," a 2006 horror film about a bigfoot that terrorizes a cabin full of women while the main character, a wheelchair-bound man, watches helplessly from next door. It was OK! Jeffrey Combs plays the owner of a gas station and has a great scene with Lance Hendriksen. Also, a number of Seinfeld guest-stars make an appearance. It wasn't the worst thing we've seen, that's for sure! Join us as we discuss ABOMINABLE!!!

One of the more divisive episodes, evidently! Me and writer Jeremy Herbert have quite different opinions about this episode's movie, 2012's Would You Rather, featuring Jeff in 'dapper, refined sadist' mode. But hey, we all love a bit of healthy debate here at Camp Re-Animates. We also dig into a special After Dark version of that IMDB game I still don't have a name for- Re-Animates gets blue! 

In this episode, we reluctantly discuss an episode of "SHE SPIES," a pretty bad exploitative spy show from the 2010s. Jeffrey Combs plays a mysterious jewel thief named Indigo, and they made some, uh, interesting choices with the character. Basically, this show sucked!! But Jeffrey Combs was entertaining, as always!

Have you seen "SHE SPIES?" Why? What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments!

In this episode, we watched "Beethoven's Treasure Tail," the eighth (!!!) film in the "Beethoven" franchise. It was pretty terrible, except of course for Jeffrey Combs's character: a conman named Fritz Bruchschnauser with an incredible German accent and a handful of great costumes. Beethoven does practically nothing, the main character does nothing, but boy oh boy does Combs commit to this character!

Have you seen this movie? What did you think? Let us know in the comments!

In this episode, we talk about ROBOT JOX (1989), a post-apocalyptic mech film which isn't bad... except for the lack of Combs! Jeffrey Combs only appears for around 1 minute of screen time, which puts a serious damper on our enjoyment of the film. However, we still had fun watching this one... how can you NOT have fun watching mechs duke it out?

Have you seen ROBOT JOX? What did you think? What is a "Jox?" Let us know in the comments!

In this episode, we watched an episode of the 2002 reboot of "The Twilight Zone," a show none of us knew existed, starring Jeffrey Combs as a hypochondriac who accidentally destroys the planet. This is a funny show... very 00s, with a strangely intense heavy metal intro and Forest Whitaker (!!!) as the host. Have you see this show? What did you think? Let us know in the comments! And for the love of God, please like and subscribe!

For episode 33 we watched "LOVE AND A .45," a stylish, weird, fun, yet kinda lackluster dramedy from 1994. Jeffrey Combs plays "DINOSAUR BOB," a besuited Texas assassin who likes speed, dancing, bug guns, and tattoo artistry. We had fun watching this one! We also spend a lot of time listing off things that were popular in 1994.

Have you seen "Love and a .45?" What were your thoughts? Sound off in the comments. Also, please, for the love of God, please like, review, subscribe, etc!

For our THIRTIETH episode, we watched the THIRD Re-Animator film: "Beyond Re-Animator," from 2003. It was... okay! Not as depressing as we thought it might be, with a second half that gets genuinely fun and exciting!

It's a little sad to finish off the "Re-Animator" series... No more West for us! What should we watch next? Let us know in the comments!

For episode 29, we watched "The Phantom Empire," a weird, no-budget adventure story where Jeffrey Combs plays "Andrew Paris," an intern archaeologist that all of the ladies love. This movie has everything... robots! Dinosaurs! Monsters! An underground empire! How can a movie with so much feel like it has so little?...
