MARCH MADMEN
An insanely thorough but lighthearted look at the horror films haunting nightmares now and forever. Each season is a tournament pitting the best of a particular subgenre against each other, round by round, until the March Madmen have voted out all but one film that reigns supreme!
Listen on:
The Dead Walk!
Every season of March Madmen delves into a different flavor of horror flick. Season 1 was our exploration of haunted house movies. Season 2 studied the slashers... Now, ZOMBIES get a loving, but thorough, autopsy! From big names to obscure indies, we'll be scrutinizing zombie movies of the past and present to answer the question, WHAT IS the greatest of all time? Join us on this journey into the land of the dead!

Our combat drop to LV-426 begins with the genesis of the James Cameron classic, the nitty-gritty of xenomorphs and a certain cowardly Colonial Marine.

The Franchise Guys start a new season with a study of the sci-fi classic ALIEN! Primordial dread, cast clashes, biomechanical lube, Dallas' porn collection and much more go under the microscope.

Ambush Bug (Mark L. Miller) of Ain't It Cool News helps us put a capper on this season of the show! Topics include growing up with these movies, our favorite F13 moments, Jason's evolution, what's next for the franchise, and much more.

Our cinematic journey concludes on the Platinum Dunes, where the F13 franchise was revived under the watchful eye of Michael Bay. This one divides the guys as opinions on Jason and the other characters vary. We agree that it looks good, at least, and is a welcome return to the "Core Four" feel.

We call it Jason vs. Freddy around here! Let's size up the opponents in this franchise mash-up and enjoy the brutal exposition along with the kills. One of our wilder shows yet, and that's saying something with this series. Ultimately, Jason wins, but so do we all.

In our lead-up to "Freddy vs. Jason," the guys take a detour to Springwood for one restless night. Examining the film that launched Fred Krueger's franchise, we compare him to the Joker, delve into dream logic and wonder if Johnny Depp could ever don the razor-tipped glove.

We wrap up our discussion of Jason X and its many absurdities (going deep into the "holodeck sequence," of course). Why wasn't there a TV spinoff about Demon, Creighton Duke and Brodski driving around in a sweet van, fighting evil? And so on.

Jason X or, "Jason Goes to Space," divides our panel (two enjoyed the film, one hated it) but definitely breaks new ground for the masked madman. This Canadian co-production also makes us wonder if Wolverine is Jason's regenerating cousin. Part 1 of 2 Pods!
MARCH MADMEN
From the co-creator of the Xs & Ys Podcast comes an in-depth but light-hearted look at horror movies! MARCH MADMEN is a podcast that aims to answer the question, "what is the greatest horror movie ever made?" Set up like a ghastly imitation of the NCAA basketball tournament, we pair films in a series of death matches to see which one reigns supreme in each subgenre of horror. Season One of our macabre competition focused on the HAUNTED HOUSE movie. Season Two attacked the SLASHER genre. Now, 32 ZOMBIE MOVIES must go head to head, two by two, until we've voted on every pairing. Expect heated debates, drinking games, semi-serious film criticism, and lots of laughs. Of course, as our long-time listeners have come to expect, in the later rounds each film will receive a loving but THOROUGH autopsy...
Featuring script analyst John Evans, screenwriter Vikram Weet ("Devil's Pass"), and author Luke Merrick.
