Ep. 189 of War Machine vs. War Horse: Bone Tomahawk (Ravenous vs. We Are What We Are)

On this episode we track cannibals across a triple feature of films. First we posse up with Kurt Russell and his fantastic mustache for the new film BONE TOMAHAWK. We are then joined by friend of the show Derek Stewart who has no mustache but talks 1999’s RAVENOUS vs. 2013’s WE ARE WHAT WE ARE. In the former, Guy Pearce is adopted into a cannibal family of soldiers exiled from society, while the latter introduces us to a long line of cannibals under threat of exposure by a small town detective. We also debate the leading man abilities of James Woods, who has nothing to do with any of these films.

Ep. 12 of Original Remake: Halloween 1978 and 2007

In this episode we celebrate Halloween with... Halloween! John Carpenter's genre defining film faces off against Rob Zombie's remake, and we accuse one of these filmmakers of being the quarterback on the couch. We'll let you guess which one. To find out for sure, listen to our discussion with our horror expert guest Derek Stewart.

Ep. 185 of War Machine vs. War Horse: Crimson Peak (Rebecca vs. A Good Marriage)

On  this episode we talk about the much anticipated CRIMSON PEAK with our friend Web Bist from the podcast  It’s Terrific   and then we move on to Creepy Marriages with a Third Party by checking out Alfred Hitchcock’s REBECCA and the Stephen King film adaptation of A GOOD MARRIAGE with our friends over at the  Plain Label Podcast , Eric and Rachel. But first,  we are first in line for  the latest socially acceptable chance to stare at Jessica Chastain for two hours.

Episode 48 of War Machine vs. War Horse: Annabelle (Magic vs. Child's Play)

ANNABELLE does not inspire us to collect dolls, but two other creepy dolls in cinema from MAGIC & CHILD'S PLAY might. However it is an unfair fight as only one film has Ann-Margret and company.  GUEST: Congo Rilla from the Signals of Fury podcast Soiled Restroom Cinema, joins us to offer creepy doll defense techniques.

Episode 13 of Pop Culture Case Study - Alien and Female Empowerment

In this episode, Dave discusses the "Strong Female Character."  Is it a good or a bad thing?  Can it be both?  In order to do this, he watches maybe the original strong female character, or at the very least, the first female action hero badass.  Ellen Ripley in Alien is definitely the original female action hero.  He also details research on gender inequity in film and television.  You know, keepin it light :) Listen!

Ep. 43 of War Machine vs. War Horse: Tusk (The Fly vs. Splice)

On this episode, the three of us have gathered to say WalrusYes to TUSK, about a man who has the simple dream of wanting to turn another man into a walrus. This inspires a look back at other mishaps in the history of man becoming more than human with 1986’s THE FLY and the 2009 film, SPLICE.  We also discuss Jeff Goldblum's hair and the exploding interest in podcasts about men's hair on film.  So before you race off and start the hashtag  WarmachinehorseYes, check out this episode. You may find our podcast just as terrifying.

Ep. 18 of War Machine vs. War Horse: Deliver Us From Evil (The Exorcist vs. The Evil Dead)

Begin #30DaysOfHorror with us and our very first horror-filled episode as DELIVER US FROM EVIL gets possessed by two titans of the genre: THE EXORCIST and THE EVIL DEAD. We attempt to come to the light in our discussion on horror cinema, and also (oddly) 3D movies.
