The ghosts of your horror movie club explore a different sub-genre each month! Featuring creators from the spooky community, stoner filmmaker DeVaughn Taylor & film journalist Garrett McDowell discuss the recurring motifs of various sub-genres and what makes the best genre films work. New episodes every Tuesday! NOTE: We recommend starting at Season 2 (Ep60) as that's when Garrett joined and began our current format. Season 1 was the experimental phase haha NOTE: The first 99 episodes, we were under "Bloody Blunts" however the show didn't change, so Season 3 is where we continued as "Specter Cinema"

Welcome to Season 2 of the Bloody Blunts Cinema Club podcast! We're switching a few things up format wise including new segments "60 Second Synopsis" & "Movie Math", but more notably introducing our permanent co-host Garrett McDowell!

We discuss the seres' commitment to their playbook (for better or worse), the evolution of Gale & Dewey, and why Parker Posey makes everything better. Garrett also saw Scream 5 ahead of the recording, so he gives us some teases for next episode...
episode 63: SCREAM (2022) - #63
New year, new Scream! Bringing the month to a close, we close the book on the SCREAM franchise with the latest entry to the series. DeVaughn and Garrett had very different experiences, which leads to a surprisingly amicable discussion: see, the fandom can have varying opinions! The boys chat this particularly brutal & violent Ghostface, the treatment of The Trinity vs the New Kids, and sticking to the playbook while keeping things fresh...

episode 65: ABBY (1974) ft. Sharai Bohannon - BBCC #65
Garrett is out sick, but that didn't stop DeVaughn and guest Sharai Bohannon (co-host of the Nightmare on Fierce Street podcast) from having an extra silly time talking blacksploitation gem Abby. We discuss the film's unfair labeling as an Exorcist rip-off, "fun" black horror films vs black trauma, and if our protagonist is actually happier possessed. Take a hit and pass that spooky shit!

Love (and ghosts) are in the air! Continuing our coverage of Black Horror Cinema for the month, our Valentine's Day selection ended up not being ver romantic, but a goodie nonetheless.
