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!

Jason Goes to Hell (at the very end of the movie)! In the only '90s installment of the franchise, we've got body-swapping, a wonder llama and lots of self-aware writing. Fingers are broken, (2) bladders emptied and jungle-gyms overturned.

It's award season again! The next four F13 films close the book on the Paramount era and venture in increasingly weird directions. We hit the highlights and lowlights from Parts V through VIII, from belt-tightening to the bouncing head.

This one is such a classic in the "So bad it's good" department, we had to do another episode about it. More on Jason the Tourist in Times Square, Uncle Charles' Swim School, and the most unrealistic depictions of New Yawk and heroin addicts ever put to screen. It's more fun than a barrel-full of drowned rats!

Jason's harbor cruise in New York features absurd characters, goofy kills and cheese galore. Beyond that, it's brilliant. The boys break it all down for ya! We've got Aquatic Jasons, "You Can't Do That on Television" slime and lots of squelching. In fact, there's so much to talk about we had to make this a Double Episode Edition!

The one with the psychic girl! This time Jason meets his match. Just not in a dating kinda way… We count tent spikes and pose questions like, "Just how many bodies are at the bottom of Crystal Lake? If Jason were driving a car near there, would it break down like everyone else's?" It's an epic show!

"Jason Lives" ("Walks Again" would be more accurate) and we're glad to have him back! In this one, an eerily patient Jason discovers teleportation. How much blame should Tommy take for the dark miracle of Jason's resurrection? Is the movie even trying to be scary, or is it just a thrill-ride? We've got answers.

Let's dance with the ugly stepsister of the franchise, "Part V: A New Beginning" or "The One with the Ambulance Driver." We've got a rubber spider, bad enchiladas and one extremely sweet set of ta-tas. Are there conceptual intrigues here, buried beneath the body count? Do you think in wintertime Jason hibernates with the bears?

Just what you needed -- another awards show! The guys give out accolades to the most deserving aspects of Friday the 13th and the first three sequels. Categories include Funniest Line, Hottest Girl and of course, Best Kill!
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.
