Kill By Kill: Talking Horror Characters One Death At A Time

Start… your… engines! That’s right, we’re back on the GRINDHOUSE beat for volume 2 as we strap ourselves down and feel the rush of 2007’s DEATH PROOF. Along the way, we delve into the complicated backstory of what motivated this project to take shape, compare how the two halves of the movie relate to one another, explore why QT can’t let go of his video store clerk character, and explore Tarantino’s competing slasher film attempts. All this, plus the Millennial Nasties decade, “pick me” characters, Kurt Russell worship, Austin dining guides, KNB group gore, and a pedal to the metal edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure. We ask that you download the entire episode, but all you’ll need is the edge!

Are you hungry… for a remixed episode of Kill By Kill Classic? Well, Patrick & Gena are back (along with the endlessly funny and talented Becky Wilson) to talk about Friday the 13th Part 6: Jason Lives and the incredible team-building experience that is 80s paintball in the pine barrens! Along the way, we consider Jason Voorhees and his ultimate desire to smash the patriarchy, we try to determine how many holes one can have in their jeans before they cease to qualify as pants, then postulate who would make the hunkiest Jason: David Hasselhoff or Robert Urich, and finally, Patrick attempts to build his brand. It doesn’t go well. All that and a fiercely debated edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure, and you’ve got a rip-roaring good time that’s bound to build your confidence and boost sales! Maybe.

The floors are sticky, the popcorn is a little suspect, but the movies… they’re absolutely wild! This week on Kill By Kill, we’re looking at the first half of a deadly double feature: 2007’s PLANET TERROR. Along the way, we give a brief history of grindhouse film, wonder why every other woman is wearing the smallest shorts of all time, consider the medical efficacy of syringe launchers, and connect this structure of the film back to one of John Carpenter’s unmade films. All this, plus credible melting men, BBQ envy, cookie-dough dememberment, flight via grenade launcher, and the Crazy Babysitter Twins. Grab your favorite jar of oversized testicles and listen in today!

If you heard that Jason is dead... good, er bad news: Jason Lives!! That's right, on this redux episode of Kill By Kill, Gena and Patrick are joined by acclaimed filmmaker Rodney Ascher (Room 237, The Nightmare) to talk about TV’s Horshack, Ron Palillo, and his incredible performance as Alan Dawes. As Rodney points out, “A friend helps you move, a good friend helps you move a body… what kind of friend helps you dig up a body?” In addition, we discuss the power of lightning vs. supernatural lightning, we chase mid-80s suspender trends, openly wonder if Jason’s powers make him an X-Man, and finally, we attempt to pin a “double indemnity” style murder rap on the director. Why not? It’s fun! All that and we resurrect Choose Your Own Death-venture from the grave. It's a reanimated episode you should listen to immediately!

Let’s pick this up right where we left off! We’re back to get into all the onscreen supernatural details of PROM NIGHT III: THE LAST KISS with now-Returning Champions, Jarrod Hornbeck and Steve Guntli (Puppet Masters/Castle Freaks). Along the way, we debate why Hamilton High is so underattended, consider which “death by football” we’d prefer, ponder sex-ed nightmares, and explore the possibility of recasting Tim Robinson in the lead role here. All this, plus mop-water booze, penis wigs, mold-press protagonists, proving John Derek wrong, “beavers,” and an all-province edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure! Spend the night of your lives with us this week on Kill By Kill!
