What's up, Rotters!

Our mid-season break is over and we're ready to kick off SPOOOOOKY SEASON 🎃 

For starters, Zoran Gvojic returns to Brain Rot to begin our franschise retrospective of Don Coscarelli's PHANTASM series.

What's up, Rotters!

Our mid-season break is coming to an end!

To get you in the seasonal spirit before we continue next week with Phantasm, I'm inviting you to the drive-in to catch a matinee of last year's special Halloween episode HACK-O-LANTERN with Sophie Ellis-Bextor.

This was such a fun and festive episode to record and so, here it is again. I also update you on what's coming up on both the main feed and Patreon.

Toodles!

What's Up, Rotters!

This week, joshua Tonks joins me to discuss the 1984 slasher THE INITIATION

I have to say, it's a bit of a banger. 

SteviesBrainRot.com

What's up, Rotters!

This week we're discussing one of my favourite 80s horror Trashterpieces of all time: DEMONI/DEMONS from Lamberto Bava.

Produced by Dario Argento and with a soundtrack featuring some of the sickest rock songs, this practical, gooey, FIVE STAR movie has been on my list to cover for a long time.

Joining me to discuss are the awesome dudes from Epic Film Guys (Justin, Jeremy and Brady) and it was such a pleasure to have them back on the show. Make sure you go subscribe to their podcast BRAIN STEW.

Enjoy! Toodles!

Whats up, Rotters!

This week I'm joined by actor and director Colin A. Borden to discuss the very oddly toned SWEET SIXTEEN (1983).

Directed by the controversial Jim Sotos, this movie does all the unraveling secretly and leaves the audience like SORRY, WHAT?! But that of course, makes it a perfect Brain Rot victim.

www.SteviesBrainRot.com

What's up, Rotters!

It's time to activate BEAST MODE 💪 

This week, I'm joined by singer/songwriter and Social Media heavyweight Harvey Mills.

We discuss the 1982 TROMA Trashterpiece that is: NIGHTBEAST

It's the classic story of an Alien in a silver Abba jumpsuit running around in the woods zapping people with his laser and ripping them up with his hands for no discernible reason. Timeless.

Toodles!

What's up, Rotters?

This week my partner-in-slime MATT DRAPER returns to discuss George A Romero's MONKEY SHINES (1988)

Adapted from the 1983 novel of the same name, this was Romero's first studio movie. It was also the movie that sent him straight back to independant movie making. 

Let's find out why....

Toodles!

This week, I'm joined by one half of the awesome MOVIE DUMPSTER podcast and YouTube channel - Sean!

We discuss Tobe Hooper's 1976 killer croc hicksploitation movie EATEN ALIVE.

Toodles!

What's up, Rotters!

This week we have a DREAM WARRIORS episode for ya! Mike and Becky join me to discuss Harry Bromley Davenport's third entry in his Xtro trilogy- WATCH THE SKIES.

Halloween store effects, two versions of Tom Hanks and some visual scaling problems makes this movie an endearing Trashterpice.

Toodles!

What's up, Rotters

Our Dream Warrirors Xtro 3 episode will now drop next Monday. 

And so, as a little bonus episode, I'm dropping part 1 of my ongoing Patreon audio essay series 'WHY HORROR?', in which I document my personal journey with the genre from the very beginning.

Hope you enjoy!

Toodles!

What's up, Rotters!

This week, The Mates of Hell (Alex Ayling & Brad Hanson) pop their heads out of our Patreon bubble and bring their delicate musings to the masses. We tackle our 6th Fulci movie together in the form of 80s Dance-Horror MURDER ROCK (1984). 

Strap on your leotards and secure your hat pins, it's a wild ride (obvs)

For our social links, Patreon and merch store just head to SteviesBrainRot.com 

Welcome back, Rotters!

We're kicking off season 4 with a BANG. Or should that be a SLASH?

I had the privilege to sit down with my childhood hero and horror icon - ROBERT ENGLUND.

In this intro episode, we discuss his wildly extensive career including working with Roger Corman on Galaxy of Terror, his directorial debut 976-EVIL and of course, the Freddy Kruger effect.

It was such an honour and a lifelong dream come true. I even asked him for his Elm Street rankings 🤔 

Feels good to be back, don't it?

What's up, Rotters!

We've reached the end of the season, *Alexa, play Goodbye by Spice Girls* but what a season it has been.

To see us out, I'm joined by RuPaul's Drage Race UK finalist - Ella Vaday - to discuss an odd little entry into our favourite decade, SACRED STIFF (1987). We try to make sense of several moments in the movie; the lamp of appropriation, the lack of communication and the good old 80s patriarchy.

If you're not ready to say goodbye, come and join us over on Patreon where we'll be continuing our journey through the best/worst horror movie of the 80s & 90s.

For the penultimate episode of Season 3 of Brain Rot, I'm joined by the awesome Toni Piluso of Hack the Movies! 

We sit down to chat about the criminally underrated 1982 home invasion slasher - ALONE IN THE DARK. With huge performances from Jack Palance, Martin Landau and Donald Pleasence, this pre-Freddy New Line shocker packs an impressive punch and includes one of the greatest twist endings in genre cinema.

Returning to join me on this oceanic adventure is one other than the incredible Zoran Gvojic (Dead Meat, Social Mediasochist). 

This underrated creature feature was a Treat to return to. I suggest you do the same!

What's up, Rotters!

This week we're joined by partner-in-slime Matt Draper to discuss Rick Sloane's 1988 trashterpiece, HOBGOBLINS

Apologies for the delay with this episode - Stevie fell very ill over Christmas and all podcasting duties ground to a halt. With the help of Becky Darke and Mike Muncer (listen out for their cameos) we've managed to get this episode together and hope to be back up to speed and full health for next weeks banger.

Ho Ho Ho, Rotters!

For this years festive Trashterpiece on Brain Rot, we're making a deep cut and covering British slasher Don't Open Till Christmas (1983). This enjoyable mess of a movie had a troubled production and gave us a movie to salivate over.

This week I'm joined by internet art sensation Jim of Jim'll Paint It! We're taking it back to 1981 to discuss the satanic tech Trashterpiece - Evil Speak. This video nasty wound up banned in the UK for quite some time and so it's only right to give it the Brain Rot treatment.

Apologies for my audio quality during the interview, I recorded the wrong microphone input but it doesn't cause too much distraction.

This week I'm joined by Joshua Tonks to discuss one of my favourite 80s slashers EVER - The House on Sorority Row (1982).

This movie was a favourite of mine as a kid and (in my opinion) holds up incredibly well and stands out against the oversaturated backdrop of formulaic 80s horror of the time.

This week, we're covering George Clooney's movie debut and quite easily the MOST confusing slasher movie I've ever seen - Return To Horror High (1987)

A film within a film and people playing multiple parts? Nope. Not a CLUE what you're talking about. Hilariously baffling stuff.

This neon-lit 80s Trashterpiece was a staple of my childhood. And it made even less sense watching it this time round.

I'm joined by actor, model and writer - Sunny Mabrey to break it down as best we can. Uncle Impy has a lot to answer for. But unfortunately, we left with more questions than answers. What a hoot!

Top of the mornin' to ya, Rotters!

This week we're taking a trip to rural Ireland to meet the dorky and bloodthirsty pagan god (?!?) Rawhead Rex.

Adapted from his novella of the same name, Clive Barker was famously unhappy with the films finished product and this was what inspired him to direct the next adaption of his work..... Hellraiser. So it's not ALL bad.

Cody Jamison Strand joins us once again after HIT episodes Uninvited and Critters 1-5. 

Our Metal AF Brain Rot tee's are currently on SALE for a limited time over at www.SteviesBrainRot.com

Good morrow, Rotters!

This week I'm joined by the incredible writer/director Prano Bailey-Bond to discuss the 1975 video nasty contender Frozen Scream.

We discuss the aesthetics that inspired elements of Prano's highly acclaimed feature film debut Censor and do our best to make sense of this hilariously incoherent film.

Welcome back, Rotters!

After MANY requests, we're finally covering Larry Cohen's cult classic The Stuff from 1985. Joining me are the co-hosts of a podcast as addictive as The Stuff itself, Erika and Roshane of Homies Of Horror.

We delve deep into the sweet white pudding and attempt to clean up some of the sticky plot points.

With B-Movie action, insane practical effects and a theme tune that smacks, what not to love? Enough is NEVER enough of The Stuff.

Salutations, Rotters!

It's DOUBLE DOLLY DAY! 

This week I'm joined by besties of the pod Mike Muncer and Becky Darke to discuss Stuart Gordons 1987 cult classic DOLLS and 1991's Childs Play rip-off DOLLY DEAREST.

Both of these films have such a huge nostalgic presence in my heart. But how did they hold up, decades later? Press play to find out!

Greetings, Rotters!

Tori Allen-Martin is BACK after joining me last season to discuss the wonderful Chopping Mall.

When I decided to cover the bizarre and cringe-worthy Microwave Massacre, I needed someone who could handle it.... enter Tori.

Join us as we try to navigate this messy exploitation movie with a distinct lack of microwave utilisation.

Ahoy, Rotters!

This week we're wading into the waters of Joe Dante's 1978 Jaws rip-off Piranha. Although it's one of many to cash in on the success of the original 1975 summer blockbuster, it's one of (if not THE) best of a B bunch.

In classic Dante style, it manages to keep it fun whilst still delivering some mean spirited horror and surprising shocks.

Writer and presenter Louise Blain joins me to discuss and break down this aquatic Trashterpiece.

On Thursday, we will also be breaking  down James Cameron’s  1982 sequel Piranha 2: The Spawning over at www.Patreon.com/SteviesBrainRot

This week I'm so stoked to be joined by comedian, actress and stand-up legend Urzila Carlson.We sit down to natter about the Full Moon Features gem: Creepozoids (1987). Starring Linnea Quigley and directed by David DeCoteau, this post-apocalyptic creature feature ticks all of the Brain Rot trash boxes.

With mutant rats, acid rain, a giant beetle monster and a killer baby.... what's not to love?

Greetings, Rotters!

This week I took a punt on a film I hadn't actually seen before and it came up trumps! I give you: The Brain (1988). 

It's the classic story of a disembodied brain with plans for world domination via it's hypnotic brainwaves through the nations TV sets helmed by an evil doctor who happens to be an alien.

Join me and the hilarious Kerry Howard as we pick our brains and try and make sense of this truly wonderful B-Movie.

To celebrate Pride month (June), we currently have a range of limited edition 'Brainbow Pride' tees and tanks in the merch store. 25% of proceeds will be donated to STONEWALL. An organisation close to my heart...and brain. Take a look and grab one if it takes your fancy... www.SteviesBrainRot.com

Thrill me, Rotters!

This week I'm joined by Rob Wilkins who isn't just the manager of the Terry Pratchett literary estate, he's also a bloody good pal of mine. As someone susceptible to scares, I decided to go a little easy on him and cover Fred Dekker's cult classic, Night of the Creeps.

We natter about possible reasons for the lack of blood in the movie, Rob's experience with 80s peroxide and why more boys don't hold hands!

Welcome back, Rotters!

This is the first episode in our four-part retrospective of the Critters franchise. Starting here with the original 1986 movie and then continuing at Patreon.com/SteviesBrainRot from Tuesday, with Critters 2 (1988)

When you think of Critters, images that usually come to mind are the 'Critterball' and Roxanne Kernohan plucking a giant metal staple from her abdomen. These however, are from Critters 2! The original outing of the Crites often gets overlooked and, in my opinion, warrants more praise than it receives.

Which is your favourite entry in the franchise?

Ay up, Rotters!

She's been bad and she loved every minute of it!

This week I'm joined by Joshua Tonks to talk about Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night 2, the sequel-but-definitely-not-a-sequel to the 1980 original. We talk about my personal connections to the first film and ask questions like: Why is the rocking horse veiny?

With so many similarities to several 90s teen slashers, we ponder the possibility that this film was way more influential than people think. Check it out!

Choo Choo, Rotters!

This week I'm joined by Sean Miller from The Horror Show podcast to talk about the mental 1985 anthology-horror; Night Train to Terror. What's different about this particular anthology, however, is that the segments are made up of full length feature films that have been edited down to just 20 minutes each. And the results are varying. Think how a song would sound if you cut halfway through the first verse and jumped to the end of the chorus..... that's Night Train to Terror.

Heated discussions between God and Satan, Nazi demons and a neon 80s dance troupe, to boot..... this film has it all.

Toodles!

Hope you're all doing horrendously.

This week I'm joined by Horror-Head and film producer Giles Edwards to talk about the much forgotten Horror-Western: Ghost Town from 1988. A Charles Band/Empire flick that may have  slipped under the horror radar during the time of big-hitter franchises.

We discuss Its mysterious directing credits and the satisfaction of a simple yet well executed storyline.

Oi Oi, Rotters!

We're back with another Trashterpiece from the gift of a decade that just keeps giving, Chopping Mall (1986)

I'm joined by the multi-talented Tori Allen-Martin to talk Killbots, Pepperoni and 80s boobs.

Who are the Blands? Why do the Killbots have lasers? And what bone did the director (Jim Wynorski) brake when insisting on trying a stunt-fall himself? All these pressing questions and more on the latest episode of Brain Rot.

"Just your good old fashioned monster"

This week I'm joined by lifelong horror fan and all round legend, Jonathan Ross, to discuss Larry Cohens 'Q - The Winged Serpent' from 1982. We discuss Cohens knack for a strong premise and his infamous guerrilla filmmaking. 

We also chat about when and why we both gravitated towards horror and reminisce on the golden age of VHS and low budget features.

A poisonous cat, within a cat, on a luxury yacht?  Yes please.

This week we're joined by performer Cody Jamison Strand to talk about one of the most deranged movies ever to come out of the 80s, Uninvited (1988).
