- 391 - 015 – “Trollhunters” and “Trollhunters!”
When is a novel not a novel? When it’s a tv show! Wait, what? Ollie and Phil talk “Trollhunters” and the adaptation “Trollhunters!” But, which is which and what is the other one? https://ia800608.us.archive.org/17/items/DelToro15/DelToro15.mp3
Thu, 27 Jul 2017 - 390 - 014 – Crimson Peak?!?
It’s an episode within an episode! Incepisode? Ollie and I had a weird conversation the other day about “Crimson Peak” and rather than expose you to the entire thing, we decided to talk about it and play you most(?) of it but not the parts that get a little too hot under the collar. It’s … Continue reading "014 – Crimson Peak?!?"
Thu, 20 Jul 2017 - 389 - 013 – BONUS! The Book of Life!
Things get emotional up in here as we talk Jorge Gutierrez’s “The Book of Life” from 2014. Del Toro helped Gutierrez get this homage to Mexican culture off the ground and Ollie and I are sure glad he did. We get to talk about culture, death, family and cry cry cry. It’s good for the soul! … Continue reading "013 – BONUS! The Book of Life!"

Thu, 29 Jun 2017 - 386 - 010 – Pacific Rim!
Let’s talk Mon-stars and Rob’ts! The metal fists are flying and the monsters are a’dyin’ in del Toro’s tribute to Japanese rubber costumes and anime mech-fests, but also there’s an emotional core? And trauma metaphors? And PTSD gets acknowledged? Ollie and I sift through a movie that’s far more complicated than the surface would suggest. … Continue reading "010 – Pacific Rim!"
Thu, 22 Jun 2017 - 385 - 009 – BONUS! Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark!

Thu, 08 Jun 2017 - 383 - 007 – BONUS! The Orphanage!
Ollie and I present a special non-del Toro movie that was sold to audiences as very much a del Toro movie! “The Orphanage” is spooky, heartbreaking and wonderful and NOT a del Toro movie. But, he helped get it made and helped start the career of J. A. Bayona, so we’re covering it here! Enjoy … Continue reading "007 – BONUS! The Orphanage!"
Thu, 01 Jun 2017 - 382 - 006 – Pan’s Labyrinth!

Thu, 25 May 2017 - 381 - 005 – Hellboy!
In which Phil and Ollie wend their way through the surprisingly complicated plot of “Hellboy”; Phil promises to not talk a lot about the comic and then repeatedly breaks that promise; and we manage to justify the existence of Agent John . . . Meyers? Is that his name? https://ia801606.us.archive.org/15/items/DelToro05/DelToro05.mp3

Thu, 30 Mar 2017 - 375 - 001 – Cronos!

Tue, 09 Apr 2024 - 372 - The Dark Descent – “The Asian Shore” by Thomas M. Disch

Mon, 19 Feb 2024 - 368 - The Dark Descent – “The Beautiful Stranger” by Shirley Jackson
This week, Willow and Phil take a quick look at a quick story: “The Beautiful Stranger” by Shirley Jackson. We throw out a lot of theories as to the actual nature of this story, but the one thing we can agree on? That stranger is beautiful.

This week, we’re heading off to jolly ol’ Russia for a bit of nineteenth century whimsey titled “Clara Militch” or “Klara Milich” or any number of permutations. It’s by Ivan Turgenev and it’s a real cracker! By which I mean, we were utterly confused by it.
Sat, 09 Dec 2023 - 363 - The Dark Descent – “Seaton’s Aunt” by Walter de la Mare
It’s another headscratcher! “Seaton’s Aunt” by Walter de la Mare might not be the scariest story we’ve ever read, but it sure does make me feel sad!

Sat, 21 Oct 2023 - 357 - The Dark Descent – “The Jolly Corner” by Henry James
Oh, Henry James. Why must you be so obtuse? This week, it’s a return to the creeps and the spooks as we take a step inside “The Jolly Corner!” Any good? Well, Willow had no idea what was going on!
Sat, 14 Oct 2023 - 356 - The Dark Descent – “Mackintosh Willy” by Ramsey Campbell
This week, it’s a story that really left a wild impression on us. Is it supernatural? Natural? A little bit of both? Who knows! It’s “Mackintosh Willy” by Ramsey Campbell!
Sat, 30 Sep 2023 - 355 - The Dark Descent – “Good Country People” by Flannery O’Connor
This week, it’s a story that is remarkably similar in many ways to last weeks. So, we both loved it, of course! Right? RIGHT?! *sigh* It’s “Good Country People” by Flannery O’Connor.
Sat, 23 Sep 2023 - 354 - The Dark Descent – “Three Days” by Tanith Lee

Man, we’re really bad at doing a podcast. Anyways, we’re back again with “Time Bandits!” It’s a children’s movie made by a terrible man who thinks he’s the best filmmaker and storyteller in the world. Is he? No. He’s pretty good at it though. “Time Bandits!”
Sat, 26 Feb 2022 - 350 - Twittersode 14 – The Living Dead At Manchester Morgue (1974)
It’s a Twittersode! Willow can’t be here, so I’m talking real quick-like about “The Living Dead At Manchester Morgue!” Or “Let Sleeping Corpses Lie!” Or “Breakfast At Manchester Morgue?” Or “Don’t Open The… Window?” Really? Huh.
Sun, 25 Apr 2021 - 349 - The Dark Descent – “My Dear Emily” by Joanna Russ
Willow and I are back with more Dark Descent. This week, it’s “My Dear Emily” by Joanna Russ. It’s a vampire story, with a twist! The twist? Um… it’s good?

This week, Willow and Phil schalk the schalk with J. Sheridan Le Fanu’s “Schalken the Painter!” It’s based on a real guy, but it’s not! It’s pretty sexy but also gross! It’s a rip roaring good time and also about the societal helplessness of women in the face of suffocating patriarchy. “Schalken the Painter!”
Sun, 19 Feb 2023 - 343 - The Dark Descent – “The Rats in the Walls” by H. P. Lovecraft
This week, THE CAT HAS A RACIST NAME. And, YES, we discuss it! Also, Lovecraft’s impossibly wild interpretation of Roman mythology and, look, it’s actually a pretty good story about a grieving father. It’s “The Rats In The Walls!”

We’re diving back into “The Dark Descent” because watching movies has PROVED DIFFICULT! And, what a story to dive into! It’s Robert Aickman’s “The Swords” and it’s about… sex? Stabbing? Thrusting? It’s fairly explicit and fairly grimy and we talk about it for a WHILE. Enjoy!

- 331 - 117 – Cabinet of Curiosities: Dreams In The Witch House
We were having such a great run of episodes, it was inevitable we’d hit a dud. “Dreams in the Witch House” takes Lovecraft’s original story, removes the plot, keeps a few names, a rat with a face and calls it a day. It wouldn’t be bad if it wasn’t so… bad. Sorry. https://ia904702.us.archive.org/14/items/20221110_20221110_2010/DelToro-Cabinet06.mp3

Tue, 08 Nov 2022 - 329 - 115 – Cabinet of Curiosities: The Outside

Way back in our “The Dark Descent” days, we covered Michael Shea’s phenomenal short story “The Autopsy.” Now, we’re getting to revisit it with the “Cabinet of Curiosities” adaptation by David S Goyer and David Prior! And, you know what? It’s really great!
Tue, 01 Nov 2022 - 327 - 113 – Cabinet of Curiosities: Graveyard Rats
Episode 2 of “Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities” is a lively adaptation of Henry Kuttner’s “Graveyard Rats” a favorite of mine. We’ve got goopy corpses, rat monsters, boney bois. It’s a whole thing and we enjoyed it! Take a listen!

Fri, 07 Oct 2022 - 324 - 110 – Darkman (1990)
He’s dark! He’s a man! He’s Darkman! In 1990, Sam Raimi took a chance on creating an original superhero(?) monster(??) thing(???) for the modern age, and he totally succeeded! It’s “Darkman!” Also, I’m very sick, so I sound like garbage! “Darkman!”
Sun, 11 Sep 2022 - 323 - 109 – My Neighbor Totoro (1988)

Wed, 31 Aug 2022 - 322 - 108 – The Fly (1986)
Are you ready to get GLOOPY? It’s the gloopiest film yet: 1986’s “The Fly” by David Cronenberg! I just love this sweet short film and Willow… has her thoughts about it. It’s Canadian! It’s gross! It’s gross and Canadian! It’s “The Fly!”
Sat, 13 Aug 2022 - 321 - 107 – Castle In The Sky (1986)
Some movies are just a joy to watch and “Castle in the Sky” is one of those movies. Ghibli’s first film, it has all of the hallmarks of Miyazaki’s work to come: pirates, airships, environmental stuff, robits. It’s all there. And, it’s just a dang delight.
Sat, 30 Jul 2022 - 320 - 106 – Top Gun (1986)

You know what’s a weird movie? “The Thing!” You know what’s a perfect movie? “The Thing!” This week we’re looking at a favorite film of both of ours, John Carpenter’s “The Thing!” What more is there to say? It’s Thing-tastic!
Sat, 21 May 2022 - 307 - 101 – Pink Floyd: The Wall (1982)
All spheres are rock albums but not all rock albums are spheres. If that makes sense to you, welcome to our discussion of Alan Parker’s Roger Waters’s “Pink Floyd: The Wall!” the movie of the stage show of the album of the trauma!
Sat, 14 May 2022 - 306 - 100 – Antlers (2021)
HOO BOY! We’re back with a MODREN FILM, and it’s a doozy. The del Toro-produced, Scott Cooper-directed Native American(?) inspired(???) adaptation(!?!?!) of Nick Antosca’s short story(???!??!?!) that throws in a bunch of alcoholism, child abuse, Indigenous lore, and disjointed plotting that all adds up to a whole bunch of, well, BAD WORDS. It’s “Antlers!”

It’s so much fun to discover a new favorite horror movie and Willow and I did that very thing with Gary Sherman’s 1981 film “Dead and Buried.” It’s such a great time, the performances are outstanding, the behind the scenes stuff is fun and heartbreaking and the effects work BLEW MY MIND.

When is a movie sequel NOT a movie sequel? When it’s “Zombi 2!” Lucio Fulci begins his career of gross-out horror with this nutso take on the zombie genre. Call it a gross out; call it demented; just don’t call it a sequel to “Dawn of the Dead.” It’s Zombie! Or, Zombi 2!
