The Thriller Club launches into a brand new direction this week as the official branching of genres begins! It's superhero movie time once again as we talk about the martial arts/superhero banger SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS! And then after our review, listen to us throw out a few thoughts and predictions regarding the newest trailer f…

Welcome to the Thriller Club 2.0! Just in time for the annual Halloween episode, the Club welcomes two brand new co-hosts, ol' Matt & ol' Rick, to join Ryan and talk about the newest Michael Myers slasher fest HALLOWEEN KILLS. This is a brand new show compared to the last 85 episodes and, while we're still getting used to the audio set-up, we hope …

This week we decided skip the pleasantries like a cast & crew breakdown or classic Thriller Club synopsis and just duke it out via raw takes regarding this big ol' fist fight between two big ol' monsters. What a bad sentence. This week we're talking about GODZILLA VS KONG and the previous Monsterverse entry KONG: SKULL ISLAND. We're ALSO taking a l…

It's time for yet another return of the THRILLER CLUB! This week we attempt to get back on the rails with a spirited conversation about the 2016 Japanese kaiju movie SHIN GODZILLA! We also talk a bit about KZ's band DREAMWELL right after giving our brief (& surprising) opinions on ZACK SNYDER'S JUSTICE LEAGUE! We crammed for this episode, you guys.…

The sister Rae Conway makes her highly anticipated return to the Thriller Club so we can talk about the sequel to the iconic 90s slasher Scream... that's right, it's SCREAM 2! Can you believe it!? Some time is spent discussing a few news tidbits like a remake of The Others, A Quiet Place spin-off and the future of the Scream franchise itself before…

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! In true Halloween fashion, this episode was a real nightmare to get recorded. So if you enjoy the SPOOKY sounds of dogs whining or the HORRIFYING noise that rain drops create, then we have got the episode for you! First, we announce a change to the ol' Thriller Club format that will hopefully help streamline our conversations befor…

H-TOWN RISE UP. Sry. This week in the second of three Halloween episodes, The Thriller Club visits Halloweentown in all its spooky, Halloweeny glory. As is tradition for this show, we needed to throw props toward a childhood classic for remaining a staple of the season well into adulthood. Marney is cool, Aggie rules and Dylan is a big dork. That’s…

We see dead people and subsequently converse about them in podcast form all the time. But ESPECIALLY this week as we get into that spooky mood to talk about THE SIXTH SENSE in the first of 3 Halloween episodes! Creepy! After catching up with what we've been up to so far in October, listen to us dive into this iconic movie to figure out if it really…

On a bonus, mega-sized WEEKEND edition of The Thriller Club, we're talking about the iconic Wes Craven movie SCREAM in the first episode of a retrospective series where we'll cover the entire series! Officially joining the Thriller Club and filling in for KZ for the Scream retrospective is my own sister Rachel! Yes! We talk about growing up watchin…

We planned to cover Kevin Smith's Red State for this episode but streaming services let us down, so we opted instead to watch a VERY similar movie whether you want to believe us or not, 2015's western/horror mash-up BONE TOMAHAWK (it's nothing like Red State)! Does the meshing of these two very different genres work to this movie's benefit or does …

Do you like the sound of crickets chirping in the background of a podcast recording? Or maybe random table bump noises? How about stuttering audio once in a while due to a whacky internet connection? Then boy, does the Thriller Club have an episode for you! Hopefully our discussion about the Amazon Studios 2018 remake of SUSPIRIA and the ensuing co…

This week on the Thriller Club we get spooky at the bottom of the ocean with UNDERWATER and coincidentally end up wanting to reside there for the rest of our lives because of it! A secret Lovecraft-inspired story featuring the Old One himself, Cthulu, and all his little human fish boys. Did this movie pull off the “fear of the unknown” one would ex…

In very Thriller Club fashion, we watched two different movies in preparation for this episode! Yikes. So instead of covering either Underwater or Suspiria (tune in the next two weeks for those), we’re going to talk about what we’ve been up to during the quarantine! I, Ryan, ramble on about what I’ve been watching while KZ offers up some entertaini…

This week on the Thriller Club, we tackle the 2014 horror sleeper IT FOLLOWS. Is this movie as spooky as the general consensus would have you believe or is it only passable as a competent thrill? On top of our opinion of the movie, find out what's next on the ol' schedule and learn all about KZ's absolute distaste for the Cinema Sins Youtube channe…

We're back after an 8-month hiatus! Both hosts and all! Neat! Listen to us talk a little bit about what took so long, what's new in our lives, and our plans to finally return to a weekly format. THEN join our conversation about the 2016 Korean zombie movie TRAIN TO BUSAN and all its surprisingly wonderful glory. I mean it's a train/zombie movie... …

We're all friggin quarantined! What better time to plow through a bunch of movies in order to distract from the crippling horror we as a society are currently facing!? In these lonely times, it's about to get a lot LONELIER now that The Thriller Club is officially down to one solo host for the time being - just in time to talk about the 2020 remake…

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays listeners! In this extremely loose episode of the Thriller Club, we attempt to talk about Gremlins before getting side-tracked and deciding to just go full-Christmas. Very horror-lite this week, unless you consider religious holidays horror (you should). Hear us discuss Gizmo and his idiotic pals for a bit before …

This week on the ol’ Thriller Club, we tackle the divisive metaphor-heavy Darren Aronofsky joint, mother! I really wish I could have capitalized that movie title. First listen to Zach describe one of the worst phone interactions of his life and then hear Ryan talk about his most recent TV viewings! But don't worry, because after that, they BOTH tal…

It was a snowy night of recording for the ol' Thriller Club... what better time to talk about the mega-popular psychological ghost story THE SHINING? Make some hot cocoa, pull your favorite chair up to the fire place and get cozy as we talk all about awful alcoholic fathers, disgusting rotting bathtub corpses, a kid who talks to his finger, and Jac…

Happy Halloween 2019 folks! Listen to us idiots vow to not get mad while we talk about this episode's selection of movies only to get very upset immediately. Fitting to the holiday season, this week we're taking a deep-dive into BOTH HALLOWEEN IIs! First we tackle the John Carpenter-penned Halloween II (1981) and discuss a movie that the creator to…

Back in time for a HALLOWEEN EXTRAVAGANZA! Thanks for the patience, your reward is two grown adults talking about 1997 Disney Channel children's movie UNDER WRAPS! Join us as we talk about where we've been and what we've been up to before we dive into our opinions on mummy movies, where mummies rank on the classic Halloween villain scale, and our o…

Talking the new Guillermo del Toro PRODUCTION (not DIRECTORIAL effort like we thought) this week, SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK! After we inexplicably talk about the band Code Orange and let you in on how we feel GLOW Season 3 turned out, listen to us actually discuss the subject at hand! We discuss everything from the monsters featured, to the…

We're finishing up our retrospective on the Cloverfield series with one hell of a whimper as we talk about a Netflix original - THE CLOVERFIELD PARADOX! A difficult episode to take seriously for a difficult movie to take seriously. Find out what we thought about the film, the series as a whole, and what could have made this movie a better "sequel" …

This week we continue to dive into the JJ Abrams-lead Cloverfield series with definitely the most thematically-strong sequel in the history of sequels, 10 CLOVERFIELD LANE! Find out what we think about the loose connections to the original movie, what we think about aliens in cinema, and our thoughts on the banger 90s adaptation of The Flintstones!…

This week on the Thriller Club we're checking out the now-classic found-footage big monster movie CLOVERFIELD (2008)! This kicks off our retrospective of the Cloverfield series to decently polarizing results. Does the found footage aspect help or hurt this movie? Is the monster utilized as well as it could have been? Why the heck is that one drink …
