Only 29% away from our goal!
What better time than #Pride to help a #Queer filmmaker complete his project! @troyescamilla.bsky.social is a few hundred dollars shy of his goal to complete post-production on his newest Queer horror feature, Hollow Lake.

I hope you'll consider supporting it! Can't wait to check it out!

New episode of DNOTP is out NOW! We head to the sewers of NYC to discuss the 1984 toxic waste, radioactive creature flick C.H.U.D., a film that surprisingly puts the creatures on the back burner in favor of police procedurals and investigations. Tune in to hear all our thoughts!

There’s plenty of squawking going on in the latest episode of DNOP as I’m joined by guest co-host Bret Laurie to discuss the obscure, very odd and underseen gem “Luther the Geek.” Tune in to hear our thoughts on the most inept parole board of all time and truly stupid decisions! 🐓

New Episode out now! It’s Garbage Day as we discuss the much maligned sequel to the iconic 1984 Killer Santa slasher Silent Night, Deadly Night. Join us as we discuss excessive flashback sequences and ponder what on Earth happened to Mother Superior's face. Merry Xmas Eve! 🎅🪓

Said a very difficult but peaceful goodbye to my handsome little buddy Dexter. He gave me 17 years of companionship, loyalty, laughs, and most importantly unconditional love. I’ll never forget him and the joy he brought into my life. Rest easy and be at peace Bubba.
