Here’s the description of this week’s episode:

“For the first time in a long time, the door of THE NIGHTMARE CLOSET is about to slowly swing open once again and unleash another movie that completely traumatized me when I saw it as a child. This time, the evil let loose upon the world is Brotherhood of Satan. This movie has everything. Creepy kids! Creepy kids with creepy music boxes! Killer toys! Evil cake! Fidel Castro! Fake Jan! Literally, EVERYTHING!! But two things this movie does not have are two gentlemen who are experts in the field of cinematic sleaze and drive-in exploitation. Therefore, I am very fortunate to have two such gentlemen, BILL VAN RYN and SAM PANICO from GROOVY DOOM, as my guests this evening.”

Our friend Mark at Wake Up Heavy has posted a new episode where he watched Return to Oz with his daughter. What an awesome idea! Check it out!

Wake Up Heavy — which has featured Sam on the show before and contributed this top ten slasher list to our site — has started a new series called “Why I Hate Slashers” that everyone who loves this site will enjoy. The first episode is all about Pieces, which as you probably know is a major favorite.

I really enjoyed this episode — Mark always has engaging content — if I have a few thoughts on it. I love the fact that the reason why he never watched the movie was because it seemed too hardcore and lurid, because well, that’s exactly what it’s all about.

The one issue I have is that Mark said that other than a few people, there isn’t anyone famous in this. He forgot Edmund Purdom, who is in a ton of films like Absurd, 2019: After the Fall of New York, Don’t Open Till Christmas, The Fifth Cord and contributed voiceover work to a ton of films, including one of my new obsessions, the European X-rated version of Witchcraft ’70 called Angeli bianchi… angeli neri.

It’s a small thing to pick out on an otherwise great episode. You can listen to it on the embedded link below.

Want to hear how crazy I can be about movies? Good news. I talked so much on Wake Up Heavy! — some would say too much — that I ended up going off about my latest obsessions.

Pigs! Evel Knievel and Viva Knievel! Night Killer! The Child! John Saxon! Cameron Mitchell! Murder, She Wrote! Movies made in Pittsburgh! My love of Italian horror and why I love ripoffs of The Exorcist more than the actual film! Amityville II: The Possession and why it’s the best movie ever! Tom Atkins! All this and more!

I’ve been a big fan of the Wake Up Heavy! podcast for some time. So I was beyond excited when I got asked to be a guest and discuss Under the Silver Lake, one of my favorite movies from this year.

Check it out — and listen to everything else on the show, I really love it — and I apologize in advance for how many times I say the words like, dude and awesome. I am pretty much a 47-year-old Pittsburgh teenager.
