Woodsboro survivors! New York City life! Ghostface killings! This week the boys take another stab at Scream franchise with SCREAM 6!! The Scream series returned last year with a requel. Scream 5 was quippy fun. Scream 6 is back and set in New York and with out series star Neve Campbell. But is it meta fun or over does the nostalgia?

128: Kids vs. Aliens
House party! Aliens attack! Surviving the night! This week the boys cheer on some preteens who pew pew some aliens, as they witness KIDS vs. ALIENS!! A spin-off film from the V/H/S franchise, "Slumber Party Alien Abduction". It has a DIY film style and tromaesque vibes. It really speaks to anyone’s 80s inner child. But is KIDS VS ALIENS a crazy B movie party or a party foul? Plus, no TV Corner!!! Yellowjackets was preempted this week. So the boys talk about video games and music.

127: Evil Dead Rise
Old apartment building! Two sisters! Possessing demons! This week the boys leave the woods to face the bloodthirsty deadites in Los Angeles, only to see the  EVIL DEAD RISE!! EVIL DEAD RISES is loud and bombastic with violence that doesn't hold back. It's a movie that takes many risk and tries to honor the franchise differently than the 2013 reboot. EVIL DEAD series is important horror films/tv but was something missing? Plus, in TV CORNER we talk about episode 5 of season 2 of YELLOWJACKETS!!! And so much more!

126: Caveat
Troubled woman! Isolated island! A lone drifter! This week the boys head out to an abandoned house with no supplies or clothes because there is a CAVEAT! Writer/director Damian McCarthy first film, has mood and substance. The story is a mystery and is carefully built. But did CAVEAT impress or lose its suspense? Plus, in TV CORNER we talk about episode 4 of  season 2 of YELLOWJACKETS!!! And so much more!

125: Huesera: The Bone Woman
A pregnant woman! Motherhood! Crunching bones! This week, the boys practice pediatrics without a license only to meet HUESERA: THE BONE WOMAN!!! There isn't too many Mexican body horror movies that has a personal statement on parenthood and the agency of the mother. A intellectually penetrating film, by Michelle Garza Cervera, that has a sharp visual sense and a grounded story. Huesera is a raw personal tale but is there any real suspense?  Plus, in TV CORNER we talk about episode 3 of  season 2 of YELLOWJACKETS!!! And so much more!

124: Shaun of the Dead
Fed up girlfriend! unambitious boyfriend! Unexplained plague comes to North London! This week the boys had some much fun revisiting SHAUN OF THE DEAD!! Shaun of the Dead is a superb blending of horror and comedy. Part of the Cornetto Trilogy, a zombie apocalypse with clever subtext on the genre. But Is this flesh eating fun or is it overrated? Plus, in TV CORNER we talk about episode 2 of  season 2 of YELLOWJACKETS!!! And so much more!

123: Possession
A divorce! Disturbing behavior! A husband searches for the truth! This week, the boys don't want to get in the middle of a POSSESSION!! A truly mad vision, is the best way to describe the movie. Scene after scene makes you think what the hell is going on here? Memorable performance and fucking insane film style but is this more shocking than enjoyable? Plus, in TV CORNER we talk about episode 1 of the second season of YELLOWJACKETS!!! And so much more!

122: M3GAN
Orphaned 8 year old! A robotic engineer! Model 3 Generation Android! This week the boys meet a robot doll named M3GAN!! The story of M3GAN is not a new concept but blends the horror genre with campy comedy. It's earnest and ridiculous but is this murderous doll movie too tame? Plus, in TV CORNER we talk about episode 10 of YELLOWJACKETS and give overall thoughts on season 1!!! And so much more!

59 minutes | Mar 30, 2023
121: Raw
Veterinary School! Vegetarian! Human Flesh! This week the boys go back to school but end up craving anything RAW!! People were repulsed and physically ill after seeing RAW. Julia Duccournau is no extremest, if anything she's a humanist. But is this a potent cannibal awakening story or just overhyped? Plus, in TV CORNER we talk about episode 9 of YELLOWJACKETS!! And so much more! You can always email us: skeletonboyspod@gmail.com Twitter: @skeletonboyspod (if still exist) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skeletonboyspod/
67 minutes | Mar 23, 2023
120: Candyman (2021)
Gentrified Chicago! Neighborhood legend! An anxious artist! This week the boys, say his name five time...CANDYMAN!! The lore of Candyman is messy at best, so a sequel to the original movie in the trilogy, is a nice refresh. It invokes its political commentary and slasher roots but does it entertain or just a forced social statement. Plus, in TV CORNER we talk about episode 8 of YELLOWJACKETS!! And so much more!

117: Skinamarink
Lego blocks! A father missing! Two children home alone! This week the boys look at ceilings, baseboards, and dimly lit rooms, all while humming SKINAMARINK!! A film that is unsettled and recreates that feeling of waking up in the middle of the night. Experimental in it's craftsmanship but are too many tricks used to evoke feeling?

Hippie cult! Demon-bikers! Vengeance! This week the boys are joined by Justin Wilmott and together they walk a secluded forest and run into a girl named MANDY!! Mandy is a 2018 horror action movie co-written and directed by Panos Cosmatos. A fever dream and nightmare of images. It's beautifully shot and can be shockingly brutal. But is it too indulgent or its uniqueness stays with you?  Justin is a composer check out some of his work:  https://themementomoricollective.com and follow him on instagram https://www.instagram.com/justinwilmottmusic/ You can always email us: skeletonboyspod@gmail.com Twitter: @skeletonboyspod (if still exist) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skeletonboyspod/

Routine check up! Stranded woman! Maniac killer! This week the boys enter the hospital from hell!!! As they celebrate Valentine's Day by getting a X-RAY!! X-RAY is a low rent 80s slasher with slick cinematography and a good score. Everything else should be witnessed. Please don't read any more and go watch the movie!  Plus, in TV CORNER we talk about episode 4 of YELLOWJACKETS!! And so much more!

52 minutes | Feb 9, 2023
114: The Invitation
A courtship! Long-lost cousin! Twisted family secret! This week the boys, play oblivious Americans as they obtain THE INVITATION!! Gothic horror romance is made less and less, it's mostly now littered with euro trash renditions of vampires. The Invitation tries to blend both with a story that makes some sense. Mainstream horror is a whole vibe now. I have a hard time tuning in with studio horror today. But do accept or decline the invite? Plus, in TV Corner we talk about episode 3 of YELLOWJACKETS!!  And so much more!!

113: The Menu
A remote Island! A young couple! Exclusive restaurant! This week the boys challenge their demanding palate when they sample THE MENU!! The Menu has something fresh and interesting to say about art and artist. The story has many things to say about, how we consume, pursue, and obsess. Is this a satisfying narrative or all hype? Plus, in TV Corner we talk about episode 2 of YELLOWJACKETS!!  And so much more!!

112: The Day of the Beast
Catholic priest! Black Metal fan! An occultist! All bent on committing as many sins as possible! Once again, the boys have to save the world and face THE DAY OF THE BEAST!! On rare occasions, a movie appears to mix many elements to its story. black comedy, action and horror. THE DAY OF BEAST, can be viewed as cynical piece of entertainment but pushes all the genres forward. Is this a perfect combination of Horror and Comedy or unclear mess? Plus, in TV Corner we start the series YELLOWJACKETS!!  And so much more!!

111: Sissy
Bachelorette weekend! Teen best friends! A taste of revenge! this week, the boys get stuck in a cabin with SISSY!! Sissy is much more than a horror movie. The film addresses issues like mental health and the influence of social media. it even borders on comedy at times. Is this a bloody good time or just to over the top? Finally the boys reveal their TOP 5 HORROR MOVIES 2022   Rolando's top 5    5. Deadstream 4. The innocents 3. Fresh 2. Barbarian 1. Black Phone John's top 5 5. Black Phone 4. Here comes the devil 3.

110: Nanny
The American Dream! Immigrant nanny! Concealed truth! This week, the boys need someone to take care of their Upper East Side kids and hire a NANNY!! Viewers may be surprised to find less slasher thrills and spectacular supernatural horror. It's more subdued and self aware horror that tries to avoid obvious tropes. A movie that is self-assured and unflinching but is it more disappointing or confused? Plus, in TV Corner, we check out episode 8 of  Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities and give our overall thoughts on the series! And so much more!!
