The Psycho Drive-In Podcast

In this episode the hosts mourn the recent losses of Reggie Bannister and special effects artist Screaming Mad George and discuss how their work shaped cult horror. They watch and dissect Phantasm (1979) and Society (1989), exploring Don Coscarelli and Brian Yuzna’s visions, the films’ dreamlike logic, and the inventive practical effects that made the movies unforgettable.
The conversation mixes personal memories, production anecdotes, and recommendations for where to find the films and support the artists’ legacies.

On this episode Paul and John break down Spider‑Man: Brand New Day — its cinematic look, standout performances (Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jon Bernthal), 3D impact, and why it feels like a return to 'real' filmmaking.
They also recap massive SDCC trailer drops and TV news — from Avengers: Doomsday, Resident Evil and Clayface to Blade Runner 2099, Neuromancer, Lanterns, and more — plus industry shakeups like the Blade and Wonder Man cancellations.
Finally, they dig into Marvel casting and X‑Men rumors, box office takes, and what the future of the MCU might look like.

Paul and John are back to break down Evil Dead Burn — its brutal tone, standout gore moments, and how it compares to the rest of the franchise. They debate the film's quieter, intimate finale, the performances (especially the deadite family), and the director's more focused approach.
The guys also discuss recent trailers, audience reactions to Evil Dead movies for forty-some years, box office numbers, post‑credit teases, and where the Evil Dead universe might go next!

Paul and John dive into Backrooms, tracing its creepypasta and YouTube origins, Kane Parsons’ journey from web creator to breakout director, and the film’s unnerving visuals and theater success.

Hosts Paul McCoy and John Meredith record an Easter zombie movie marathon special while drinking and medicated, recapping a wild lineup: Burial Ground, Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town, The Boneyard (featuring a giant Phyllis Diller puppet), Savage Land, The Wailing, MadS (a one-take gore ride), Elixir, Ziam, 28 Years Later, Bone Temple, and Daisy Ridley’s We Bury the Dead.

On this episode of Psycho Drive-In, hosts Paul McCoy and John Meredith run through pop-culture news and tributes before diving into a double feature of violent cult horror: Ready or Not 2 and They Will Kill You.
They compare the films’ shared premise—wealthy satanic elites who sacrifice the poor—contrast the tones (Ready or Not 2 as a worldbuilding sequel vs. They Will Kill You’s Tarantino/Kill Bill–style excess), praise lead performances and gore effects, and recommend seeing both back-to-back for a cathartic, over-the-top movie night.
