Hey Whole Damn Family. All aboard for this episode, making stops in old TV references, Korean action-horror, and more of Mike singing (we're not saying that's a good thing). First up is the Korean classic Train to Busan (2016), which is destined for ... more
It's AV night for the Whole Damn Family. First, it's old-school videotapes as we adjust the tracking on this underrated classic. We say underrated because its Rotten Tomatoes score is crap, and we cannot figure out why. With heavy hitters like Gore V... more

Brothers Mike McCarty and James Knight offer an hilariously reverent-and at times lovingly irreverent-insider’s knowledge take on modern horror films and an historical antecedent. Think Sinners and the earlier From Dusk Till Dawn; The Monkey and Monkey Shines; the recent Nosferatu and The Lost Boys. It’s a goldmine of a conceit for a genre podcast, allowing nostalgic homage to loved earlier films, while highlighting newer gems.
