It seems so many horror movies are kicked off with a mistake – smacking an old bucket full of zombie chemicals… letting a disfigured boy drown while you’re dry-humping… watching CURSE lll: BLOOD SACRIFICE… Tale as old as time, amirite? This boring drama-with-two-quick-shots-of-a-sea-monster-in-the-last-3-minutes boasts Christopher Lee’s terrible lower teeth, a surprising level of racism for a movie released in 1991, and an even more surprising lack of rubber suit monster for a movie that ostensibly got made due to the moderate success of Screaming Mad George’s awesome Curse ll: The Bite. This is easily the most boring movie we’ve ever discussed on the show, but we somehow manage to enjoy each other company while ripping it apart. Travel back in time to apartheid South Africa and horrible racist stereotype with your hosts on this week’s episode of Horror Movie Night!

This week Disney’s Tarzan is 20 years old so we discuss the movie that may have been part of Andrew’s awakening by having him cast his ideal live action cast. Let us know who you think should play Tarzan!

It’s summertime and your HMN boys are downwind of something stinky, so of course we need to investigate. Following our noses, we stumble across the underappreciated 2005 remake of the Vincent Price classic HOUSE OF WAX. While we may not all agree on the merits of this film, we do agree that the practical effects and kills are delightfully gruesome. Also, props to whoever made Elisha Cuthbert look like a Plain Jane here… that is no small task. Wax poetic with us on the first episode of Year Five of Horror Movie Night!

Put Over

Rok: Happy Birthday Father Rok!!!

Neo: E3

Cap: Sega mini

Please be careful in the future!

How’s WWE doing guys? We share our thoughts. Lots of very interesting perspectives about Undertaker and Shane McMachon. Should Undertaker be wrestling still? Do you believe Shane will defeat our beloved Champion Kofi Kingston? Please share.

Oh and Neo & Cap get into a yelling match. Please adjust your volume. Sorry!

Snack of the Week – Carla Gugino

Enjoy the relaxing sounds of the West Coast! Keep your shoulder off the mat!

It took Brooke and Andrew far too long to remember that Matt had gone to Disney World recently on this weeks episode. Instead they spend the first 10 minutes discussing their medical bills and what Ice Cream they plan to have for dinner.

We are back once again recording live from the illustrious DigiLabs Studios!  We are joined by frequent guest and neeeeeeeeeeeew member of the Mat Mania Podcast G1totherescue. Tonight the boys talk the mess that is ROH, they dive into Jon Moxley’s IWGP US Title Win as well as breakdown the phenomenal NXT Takeover 25 that took place over the weekend. All of that and so much more on this weeks episode!  As always thank you for listening and thank you to all of Patreon members who support us each month by paying that money!  

Put Overs:

Ran – Brightburn

ROK – Jim Jones “El Capo” album

Teek – Detective Pikachu

G1 – Kelis “Wanderland” album

Holy s-word, y’all – we’ve officially hit 200 episodes! In celebration (and to finally relieve Brian of his Six Degrees of Michael Keaton duties, we’re cracking open our Handbook for the Recently Deceased and calling upon the ghost with the most, the one and only BEETLEJUICE (1988)! 

We welcome back the hilarious GleefullyTim (follow him on all social) to create our own Disney Musical adaptations. We discuss how we need more Native American Broadway stars, if Phil is the worst part of Hercules and Brooke is further flabbergasted by Producer Matt’s diet.

Back from a wild Starrcast/Double or Nothing weekend, the boys talk about AEW’s first PPV, highlights of the weekend in Vegas and much more! We go over our best matches of the show (22:00), and highly recommend Kenny’s doc “Omega Man, A Wrestling Love Story (38:00) and get into the HIGHLY CONTROVERSIAL Jon Moxley interview on Talk Is Jericho (42:00) that confirms so many of our suspicions. Is Jon right? Is the war on? Strap in!

Put over:

Ran & Teek -Aladdin Movie

Rok – Dessa

Neoecks – Legend of Zelda, Breath of the Wild (sorta)

In a world full of hot scientists (aka actress/models wearing glasses and a tight bun), be a dumpy retired psychic detective in earthtones, like the protagonist in THE BONEYARD (1991). While most of the movie is like celluloid Lunesta, there IS a giant mutant Phyllis Diller monster, a giant mutant poodle monster, and some pretty gross-looking zombie children. Lots of gooey goodness to be had as long as you’re diligent with that fast forward button. Come cackle with us like crazy old women in wigs on another episode of Horror Movie Night!

We don’t want to say that this episode was thrown together so what we will say is in an act of desperation we quickly recorded this episode to run down everything coming to DinseyPlus because Producer Matt was leaving for Disney the next day. ENJOY!

If there’s one thing we love on this show, it’s John Waters and killer clowns. Wait, that’s 2 things. I guess you could say we hate math here too. In any case, we are tackling the fantastic and tragically forgotten OUT OF THE DARK (1989), which prominently features a clown-masked phone sex pervert, Divine’s last film before passing away, and a totally unrealistic photo-shoot replete with fog machine and seizure-inducing freeze frames. It’s even better than it sounds, and we want to…shed some light on the darkness surrounding this piece of cinema. Save up your quarters and grab some tissues, this week we’re dialing 1-800-HMN-BOIS

It’s Double or Nothing baby! Mat Maniacs we will be in Las Vegas celebrating the hottest wrestling promotion AEW. We will also be at Starrcast 2. This is this the go home edition for Double or Nothing. We also get into some post WWE Money in the Bank, Raw, and Smackdown Live. It’s a great time to be a wrestling fan, so be sure you like, share, and subscribe to hear our hottest takes in the world of pro wrestling. We also say goodbye and Rest in Peace to Ashley Massaro.

PUT OVER: Neo – Pen15 on Hulu

Rok & MegaRan – Wu Tang Of Mics and Men

General G1 – Mortal Kombat 11

The Aladdin remake is on the horizon and so we decided to revisit the 1992 original. Unfortunately none of us decided to rewatch the movie, also Andrew didn’t disclose to us that he despises this movie. Listen as Brooke struggles to convince Andrew that an adored movie is good.

He swore if we ever covered this movie he’d have no choice but to return as a guest on this show; and he’s a man of his word! This week we are joined by Kyle Kuchta to discuss his favorite movie TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: THE NEXT GENERATION. The film is jam-packed with craziness as well as Renee Zellweger and Matthew McConaughey for good measure.

Andrew spent 3 weeks traveling around Florida. While he didn’t go to Disney World he did have an amazing time and we got the inside scoop on all of it!

This week I’m joined by my brother and Horror Movie Night co-host Brian to discuss Episode 22 of Season 2 CAREER DAY

We walk a thin line with the movies discussed on the show, one balancing nostalgia with the reality of b (and sometimes z) grade horror. Often, the former cannot even out the latter, but not this week. No, this week, we discuss CARRIE 2: THE RAGE from 1999 and it’s somehow better now than it was when it was first released. If you avoid comparing it to Brian De Palma’s original, this is a well-executed sequel with a LOT of great kills. Put on your party dress (red, of course) and cut loose with your bros in Horror Movie Night!

Greeting Mat Maniacs and welcome to another episode of Mat Mania Podcast episode 133. We have the world’s dangerous trio in Teek Hall Roknowledge and Neoecks, but Wild Card Rules are a thing now. So, from The Steel Cage Cap Kaveman must join us. Try out our different put overs this week and join us as we vent about WWE. Why is Wild Card rules a thing? How is Becky’s fire as of late? Will Andrade be Champion? All this and more.

PUT OVER:
Cap – I Think You Should Leave
Neo – The Promised Neverland

We’ve been doing this for a year! So we celebrated our one year/50th episode by taking questions from all our DisNeat-hos.

Matt is joined by his friend Juan to discuss the infamous VADER episode Thrilla in Philla from Season 2 of Boy Meets World

Hey creeps, we had such a good time with Listener Submitted Month that we decided to extend it by a week, and boy do we regret this decision! Uwe Boll is never a good choice, but 2005’s BLOODRAYNE is a special kind of banality that only an all-star cast and a couple pounds of ketamine can provide. Watch in amazement as Billy Zane, Michael Madsen, Michelle Rodriguez, Meatloaf Aday, Michale Paré, Udo Kier, and freaking BEN KINGSLEY try to make sense of this godawful vampire flick based on the much cooler video game. For the love of all things unholy, the costume designer of this movie needs to have their skin flayed like Frank in Hellraiser for falling asleep at the sewing machine. God damn this movie sucks. Enjoy our pain on this week’s episode of Horror Movie Night!

Maniacs.. Assemble! That’s right, we return with another episode of the most illustrious podcast of the world Mat Mania! Tonight’s it’s triple threat action as Roknowledge, Neoecks and Teek Hall hold it down while lead booker Mega Ran is rapping across America on the Mt. Nerdcore Tour. Get tickets at www.megaran.com/shows. 

First off * SPOILER ALERT* the boys do break down Avengers End Game so if you haven’t seen it you do not want to listen from minutes 29:00 – 60:00. You have been warned. Kicking off the show is the put over segment:

ROK: New Single from Banks called “Gimmie”. Follow Banks at @hernameisbanks

Neo: Game of Thrones

Teek: Bun B & Statik Selektah’s new album “TrillStatik”

After put overs the boys jump into the epicness that is Avengers End Game and talk their favorite moments and overall thoughts on the run Marvel had with all of this. We then change pages and discuss some wrestling. The MITB PPV is starting to shape up, but did they rush some of these fueds a little too soon? The boys ask where is Daniel Bryan? ROK gives his opinion on this new gimmick for Bray Wyatt and how it’s ok for wrestling to be fun, it just can’t be stupid lol. As always Mat Maniacs we couldn’t do this without you so please join our Patreon and “Pay That Money” and get exclusive Patreon only episodes of Mat Mania!!!! www.patreon.com/matmaniapodcast

ROK’S Snack Of The Week: Snow Tha Product

This week we’re down Andrew and Brooke struggles to not fall asleep while Matt drones on and on about why he loves (loved) Hollywood studios back when it was MGM Studios in honor of it’s 30th anniversary.

Welcome to the Mat Mania Funhouse! What is that? Tune in and find out! Today Teek and Neo are joined by our Patreon supporter Gibran Meza. Want to pop in on an episode? Do like Rok says and “pay that money!” Hop on Patreon at any amount and support the show!

Rounding out Listener Submitted Month, we head to the bottom of the ocean to shoot some hoops and get sexually harassed by Daniel Stern with 1989’s LEVIATHAN! Robocop meets The Thing in the Abyss is all you need to know, but creature features with practical effects and some gnarly body horror are like abeetz (Brian’s pronunciation of pizza) – even when it’s bad, it’s still good. There are a slew of bad decisions onscreen and off, particularly in the last 2min of the film, but discussing this one bright and early at Monster-Mania while Brian lounged seductively in bed was certainly a highlight of the weekend. Say AH, mother-effers!

Just before Andrew took his big vacation he sat down and vented to us about all the stuff pissing him off in life, as well as all the positives of his exciting new love life. We get personal and real this week DisNeathoes, what’s the most exciting thing happening in your life?!

Which show has the charming gay? HMN, HMN, hey hey hey! That’s right, we’re back with another Listener Submitted Month movie, and are joined by the lovely Joshua from our friends at Fright School. Together, we talk about pom-poms, spanx and sex pests in the obscure slasher CHEERLEADER CAMP (1988). Is it good? Maybe? Is it bad? Sorta, but we all agreed that it was entertaining in its way. We hope your routine is memorized, sister!

Special Thank You to our Patreon supporters! You’ve got a BIG episode coming tonight at patreon.com/matmaniapodcast!

Last month the crew went out for dinner and saw Dumbo on it’s opening night. We immediately recorded an episode before Andrew left us for a 3 week trip in Florida (more on that next month) but we decided to hold off on this for a few weeks to all you DisNeathoes time to watch the movie. So here it is (minor) spoilers and all
