The Head, The Tail, The Whole Damn Thing

Hey Whole Damn Family! This episode is cold-blooded. We start off with a favorite of Mike's (1980) Alligator. Directed by Lewis Teague. In this episode, we learn that this movie isn't appropriate for four-year-olds, or so James claims, also...was Sketchers secretly involved in experiments on puppies? You'll have to listen to find out that no, that's not true. But we do at least cover the urban legend of what happens when you flush a baby alligator into the sewers...magic thats what happens. After the Lobby Break, we do a spoiler-free review of the new (2025) Anaconda reboot that came out on Christmas Day, starring Jack Black and Paul Rudd. Mike sings a song as his opener in honor of Jack Black and Sir Mix-a-lot (seriously, you can't miss that).

Hey, Whole Damn Family, It's our Fairy Tale episode with lots of laughs and musical bits. In this one, we take a drug trip with Cheech and Chong and try not to get lost in Guillermo del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth (2006). We learn when not to eat the grapes, and we laugh about the fascist stepdad! There are some insightful behind-the-scenes bits on the making of The Faun and The Paleman. Then we get into the directorial debut of Emilie Blichfeld for her take on Cinderella with Ugly Stepsister (2025) This one is a wild one with more cringe moments than a TikTok vertical. Seriously, if you haven't seen it, pause at the lobby break after our spoiler-free review and see this one knowing nothing. We get into How'd they do that with the makeup FX artistry of Thomas Foldberg's studio. You'll learn a lot of things, Cinderella, actually...even bad hair metal.

Hey Whole Damn Family hope you all are had a great holiday season.  This episode is a treat! We start by discussing how angry Mom is with us about our recent treatment of Vin Diesel. Then we jump right into Wes Craven's classic Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), the movie that started a phenomenon. There are some great behind-the-scenes bits here and a lot of fun riffing on Johnny Depp (it's his first movie) and how much of a "Blanche DuBois" mess Nancy's mom is. After the lobby break we get into the ever creepy character of Ethan Hawke's, The Grabber with Black Phone 2 for our spoiler free review, and then come back to spoil the whole damn thing. Some good behind the scenes bits in this one too. For more info on the makeup Fx folks responsible for your nightmares check out these instas. David Miller from the original Nightmare sells Freddy heads so you can reach out to him about that or find him on Ebay.

Hey Whole Damn Family! (edit) This episode turned our own mother against us...she did not like how we portrayed Vin Diesel, titan of the industry. The turn of the Millennium brought us a fun sci-fi monster movie called Pitch Black (2000) and Vin Diesel, without which we would not have such strong Family values, and we wouldn't have the Fast and the Furious movies either, so thank you, universe, for supplying us with those. We paired this one with Dan Trachtenberg's box office success, Predator Badlands (2025). You may not think it, but these movies are both about family. So give it a listen and call your folks to check in. In Pitch Black, we learn some fun behind-the-scenes bits, and in Predator Badlands, we learn there's lots of digital.

Hey, Whole Damn Family. We recorded this one out of order so we could squeeze in our Thanksgiving episode. On this one, we get physical with Brian Yuzna's crazy movie Society (1992). Nothing to see here, nothing strange going on, just keep your hands and feet inside the cart until we pass the shunting lest you be dragged in. We also discuss what we like in our tea...or rather what a character is asked about tea. Don't worry we don't kink shame here! But wow, is this full of Booty Calls. After the shunting, we move onto the enabling co-dependent millennial piece Together (2025) from director Michael Shanks where we learn what not to do in a relationship. Lots of behind-the-scenes tidbits for both these films, so enjoy!

Join the family!

We talked about guesting on I Wanna Be in the Sequel too. It's out here, that link.
