Today Matt and Todd are joined by Mike McCarty to discuss a favorite from 1968. Quatermass and the Pit, (or, if you have the time, watch Five Million Years to Earth the USA title).
Quatermass and the Pit (1968) stars:
James Donald, Andrew Keir (as Quatermass), Barbara Shelley, and Julian Glover. Directed by Roy Ward Baker.
Written by the legend of British Science Fiction: Nigel Kneale, Quatermass and the Pit takes you to a deep pit, excavated in the underground of a London Building. What is found within begins to warp the minds of all around it, causing fear and chaos.
Quatermass and the Pit will be enjoyed by fans of Dr. Who, or movies like Halloween III, Prince of Darkness and Pandorum. This is a classic blend of sci-fi and horror.
Already well-known by Mike and Matt, this was a first-watch for Todd and an instant classic.
This is a great time, check it out. We couldn't find this streaming anywhere in the US, but the fantastic Blu Ray is available and alive with 60s London Nostalgia, I thought it was a nice clean print.

Today Matt and Todd are joined again by @GabeCrate (follow on Twitter), to discuss the end George A. Romero's of the 'Dead Trilogy'... for about 20 years anyway.
Day of the Dead focuses on the downfall of a research post hidden deep within a Florida cave. We witness a force of wills that collide at the end of their rope, amongst their shambling doom.
George A. Romero's Day of the Dead (1985) stars Lori Cardille, Terry Alexander, Richard Liberty, Jarlath Conroy and Joe Pilato as Captain Rhodes.
This one never flinches, and the effects by Tom Savini and his team on this film remain a shocking and gruesome masterpiece to this day.

Join Matt & Todd as they discuss the forgotten 1992 Sci-Fi Killer-Thriller: Split Second, starring Rutger Hauer, Neil (Alistair) Duncan, and Kim Cattrall.
Detective Harley Stone (Hauer) is tracking an elusive killer that tears the hearts from its victims in a near-future (actually, past-future) 2008 London, ravaged by the flooded waters of the Thames River.
A bloody streak of killings every 12 years has the haggard Stone at the end of his rope, and his straight-laced, fresh-faced partner Dick questioning the supernatural and extraterrestrial.
Split Second feels like a blend of low-key sci-fi thrillers from the '80s, wrapped in Blade Runner-esque visuals, great performances, and endless rushing water.
Split Second is available on multiple free and subscription streaming services in the US and worldwide.
If you’re a collector, you’ll want to track this one down!
Near-future Rutger Hauer sci-fi, police-procedural killer-thriller, cool guns, great lines, and gallons of fun.

A zombie movie for a second week in a row? Well, Matt loves zombie movies, and so does this week’s guest Michael McCarty. Let Sleeping Corpses Lie (AKA Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue, AKA, Don’t Open the Window, AKA Breakfast at the Manchester Morgue, AKA Zombi 3 sand many other titles) is a European zombie film that brings in the gut munching gore before Dawn of the Dead. Inspired by Night of the Living Dead the zombies in this film march and munch to their own tune. Part ghosts, part zombies, these living dead monsters defy the conventional zombie rules. This is an underrated zombie classic. Directed by Jorge Grau, starring Cristina Galbó, Ray Lovelock & Arthur Kennedy.

Instead of discussing a beloved favorite, they revisit a movie they considered to be “the worst movie they ever saw”. 35 or so years ago they watched Raiders of the Living Dead and HATED IT!

Original film footage from Dying Day directed by Brett Piper. Raiders of the Living Dead directed by Samuel Sherman. Starring Scott Schwartz, Robert Deveau, Donna Asali & Robert Allen.
