50 years ago a single film would change the landscape of horror as we know it. From the minds of Tobe Hooper and Kim Henkel, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is not just an iconic film on screen, but iconic just in the fact of how it was made. From the hot Texas heat to real injuries and smelly castmates, it's crazy it even got made at all. Join us, al…

After Rocky Balboa restored the franchise to its former glory — winning back fans and critics who were left cold after Rocky V — it really had seemed like this time the world had seen the last of Sylvester Stallone's iconic character.

5 years after the insane success of Ghostbusters, the gang all came back together for another go. With the success of the first film and the animated series, the direction the film had to go was very different then what we've seen before.

With Rocky IV taking the franchise to new commercial heights, the film represented, in some ways, the biggest victory yet for both writer/director/star Sylvester Stallone and his fictional counterpart.

Happy Friday the 13th! This week we are joined by John and Sean, the duo behind the podcast DEWEY PODMONSTER, as we look at the movie that started a now 44 year old franchise, FRIDAY THE 13TH.

Rocky (and, by extension, Rocky II) tells one of the greatest underdog stories in cinema history.
