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:

Let’s kick off another episode of our slasher-movie season with a real mismatch, John Carpenter’s seminal 1977 film Halloween matching up with 1988’s less-prestigious Maniac Cop. This discussion really goes off the rails…

In Part 2 of this pod, Dario Argento’s Opera (1987) tries to manhandle the Elijah Wood Maniac remake (2012) and Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984) tests its chops against The Return of Michael Myers (1988) in a battle of two top franchises’ fourth installments. It’s gonna be pretty cray.

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.
