  • Hellraiser 3: Hell on Earth
    Feb 8 2025

    Is there enough to discuss in this movie to make a 90 minute show? We think so. This is where Hellraiser veers off into true franchise territory, hitting that sweet slasher time in the early 90s.

    Jan 11 2025

    We discuss Clive Barker's seminal first film! Not a slasher of the 80s as it is often lumped in with, this much more adult love story tackles themes of longing, complacency... and intradimensional kink demons.

    There's 11 of these... and we're hitting all of them. Join us!
