The Best Little Horror House in Philly

Phantom of the Paradise with John Flynn

John Flynn is here from 2 Old Queens to offer us the contract of a lifetime... all we have to do is agree that this week, Phantom of the Paradise is the best horror movie ever made! (And sign away body and soul.) We're talking kitsch vs camp, Colonel Swan Parker, black belt civilization and much more - so don't miss out!

Chernobyl (2019) with Jason Pargin

If this podcast episode exists, you're in the wrong universe - but it's a good one, because Jason Pargin (Cracked, John Dies at the End) is here to discuss Chernobyl! This jam-packed ep breaks down the topical themes and intense terror of all 5 hours, so don't miss out on hearing why this is the best horror movie ever made!

A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night With We Heard About Pluto

Plutember 2022 concludes with the The Psych Boys uniting to talk about performing hot dogs, vampire jewels, and the Baha Men of movies: A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night!
Should the Girl have been included in Tony Hawk Underground? Is JP's stance that "cheese is overrated" absolutely insane? ALL THIS AND MORE in the final episode of the year! Don't miss out! AND LISTEN TO WE HEARD ABOUT PLUTO!!! Happy Holidays!SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: Here is the intermission video that I was talk about with the hot dog that does tricks, which I did incorrectly conflate with the "lets all go to the lobby" video by thinking it was another Fleischer toon. It's not, but it IS fun. 

The Last of Us Part II with Kevin Bartelt (Patreon Preview)

Hi everybody! As a holiday gift from me to you, I'm releasing this preview of the Best Little Horror House in Philly Patreon - as I mention frequently at the end of episodes, the Patreon is a place where returning guests and I can talk about things that don't necessarily fit the criteria of "best horror movie ever made". Sometimes that's movies that are more interesting than great, sometimes its ranking stuff like our favorite Treehouse of Horror segments, but also, in cases like todays The Last of Us Part II with Kevin Bartelt, sometimes we talk about alternative media like video games.
They also tend to be a little looser - I did call this a preview, and that's what it is, because the full version of this episode is 142 minutes, continuing on to talk about the plot and themes of the game on a more beat by beat level, then summing up what makes the game so interesting. So if you enjoy it, consider signing up! There's a lot more of not just this episode but the bonus episodes I've been describing, extra commentaries, early access to normal episodes, and you can support the show for my active decision to not be forcing annoying ads upon you this whole time. Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year too! Don't forget BLHHiP is going bi-weekly! 

Malignant with Mike Regan

PLUTEMBER 2022 CONTINUES, BABY - and that can only mean Mike Regan is here to discuss a James Wan One, Malignant! We're talking about the Flash was made, Gabriel's Marshall Mcluhan podcast, how much to age that photo up by... AND PARASITIC TWINSSSSSSS!!!! Don't miss out on this very goofy, very fun episode! We're having a good time!

The Lost Boys with JP Novak

How do you like your maggots, BLHHiP-heads?
JP Novak, my co-additional host on We Heard About Pluto and co-host of Friendsmen is BACK for the first episode of Plutember 2022 to talk living forever as a member of THE LOST BOYS!
Plus: Diane Wiest drops by, we talk Silent Night Deadly Night, Evil Dead, and much much more! Don't miss out!
FROM THE CORRECTIONS DEPARTMENT: I misquoted the line "Strange things are afoot at the Circle K" as "Something is amiss at the Circle K", but come on, cut me some slack here, that's pretty close.

Barbarian with Matt Apodaca

The boys are back in town for a "biting things" themed episode including Werner Herzog eating his shoe, aliens biting steaks, and basement monsters biting Pennywise! #EyreHeads stand up - because that can only mean Matt Apodaca is here to talk Barbarian! Don't get played... listen now!

Carrie (1976) with Mark Rennie

This week, Mark Rennie from 2 Old Queens is here to talk about 1 Prom Queen - CARRIE!! Brian De Palma's first commercial hit is also the best horror movie ever made. Who knew! We're also talking other potential Margaret White vehicles, the balancing act of teenagerhood, and aggressive gym teachers! Don't miss out!from the "not corrections but clarifications i guess" department:A flame is a mixture of gases (vaporized fuel, oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water vapor, etc) and so is matter, but the light and heat produced by the flame are both energy, not matter. 

Psycho (1960) with Paul Rust

This week... In Hitchcock we Trust with Georgie and Rust!
 
Don't Stop or We'll Die frontman Paul Rust is here to talk about the ultimate blend of cozy and crazy, Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 masterpiece PSYCHO! That means we're pitching alternate cameo spots, lamenting cruel fate, discovering the right melon to stab for foley, and there might even be a Pee-Wee's Big Adventure 'SCLUSIE in there!
 
Start the clock... new no-no! If you miss this, I get to miss you! That's right, I'll be sad if you don't listen! So get to it!

Xtro with Austin from Central Cinema

Hey everybody! This week I am extremely under the weather - the test says it's not COVID, so I'm gonna chalk it up the film festival equivalent of "con crud" from the week before.
 
That said, I didn't want to just leave y'all high and dry with no episode! So friend of the show Austin from Central Cinema did me the huge favor of coming on to talk about one of MY personal picks for Best Horror Movie Ever Made - XTRO!!!! Even better on my 8th watch if you can believe it.
 
We're talking about our favorites from the Knoxville Horror Fest and the Philadelphia Film Festival including:
 
The Civil Dead
Something in the Dirt
Weird: The Al Yankovic Story
Broker
Aftersun
How to Blow Up a Pipeline
Decision to Leave
 
Then we move into the movie about an alien that feels like it was made by one, and all the surreal clowns, army men, panthers and eggs that comprise it! Don't miss out - plus there's a tease for some very exciting episodes coming up at the end!
