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!

Can one of the season’s most divisive films continue its run? John sure hopes not. It’s the chilling conclusion to this Evil Eight grudge match! Bayona! Rugna! Vehicular carnage and ghostly visitations! Get some.

Tonight it’s Argentina vs. Spain, and we're not talking football! To kick things off (sorry) the Madmen visit the most haunted neighborhood on Earth and document Demian Rugna’s Aterrados (aka Terrified). Hope you don’t have "a condition.”

It’s the contentious finale of a brutal matchup — two modern classics go head to head, and only one can survive. Brad Anderson! Mike Flanagan! Mirror eyes! Eerie recordings! I’d rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

It’s a heavyweight fight tonight! Sacred grotesque cows are threatened and we get REAL feisty about Brad Anderson's Session 9! Can (Peter) Mullan and the mullet prevail, or will that macabre mirror triumph again?

It’s time for a deep dive into David Twohy’s Below! Only one movie makes it to the next round — will it be what is probably the scariest sub movie ever made, or Australia’s hidden gem?

Two watery spirits collide in their effort to influence the living: in this case, to convince John, Vik and Rich to vote for their movie! First up is our examination of the No. 2 seed in the tourney, Lake Mungo, the haunting tale of a teen stricken by a terrifying glimpse of her future...

How’d you like some ice cream, Doc? We burrow deep into the bowels of the Overlook Hotel (ew) to study The Shining! Will it beat The Devil’s Backbone? Que es un fantasma? All shall be revealed!

Tonight we’ve got a battle of grubby ghost moppets and bathtub-dwelling hags! Can Guillermo Del Toro’s 2001 chiller knock off a Stanley Kubrick classic? Stranger things have happened…
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.
