Nolan is joined by Ben McBride, Paul Farrell, and Philip Yount to discuss Larry Cohen’s The Stuff (1985) and Chuck Russell’s remake of The Blob (1988). The group catches up on the latest horror movies (and a few video games) before they run screaming from a double feature of sentient, killer goo monsters.
2017 was an exceptionally good year for horror movies with something on their mind — whether tackling racism or the cold, cutthroat nature of corporate work — and Blumhouse (and its subsidiary BH Tilt) has been at the forefront of the genre with releases like Get Out and The Belko Experiment.

As film lovers, we are constantly in a state of revelation and curiosity. We are simultaneously searching for that next, new high while loudly championing and reveling in that which we’ve seen and loved.
Whether you’re new to the genre or you’ve simply got gaps in your horror film history — as we all do — there’s always going to be the movies that you’re “supposed” to have seen by now. The original Friday The 13th is an essential entry in the canon of slasher films. The Omen is a 70s horror classic with one of the creepiest evil kids to grace the silver screen. And while Creepshow 2 is no Creepshow, anthologies are a genre staple that serve as a sort of cinematic comfort food (plus it was written by the late, great George A. Romero, based upon stories by Stephen King).

2017 has been a year filled with real horror. We are constantly reminded of the racism, rape culture, and male violence that continue to fester in our nation. Fortunately for this snowflake of a cuck, there were amazing horror films to escape into. Directors continue to produce strong perspectives in horror cinema, setting up the 2010s to be a revitalization of the genre. From blockbusters like IT to movies that push the genre forward like Get Out and mother!, this year ran the gamut and did so with some amazing additions to the horror family.
Horror movies killed it on the big screen in 2017, but the year also provided horror fans with numerous underseen cult flicks and solid independent horror movies to enjoy at home thanks to the fine folks at labels like Severin Films and Scream Factory. Whether looking for a lost Canuxploitation shocker like Cathy’s Curse or a fun supernatural thrill ride like Don’t Knock Twice, there’s something for everyone.
