13 thoughts on “Ep. 115: Butterfly Kisses (2018)”

  1. I loved the episode! You all did an incredible job as always. I loved hearing Dave Zee on the show. I’m just starting my journey through old Wat Zee Party episodes and it’s nice to know Dave and I have so much in common between the loving of found footage and viewing Argento as one of the greatest horror directors. Thanks for putting up with my nonsense voicemail too.

    As far as Butterfly Kisses I’m much more in line with Dave as far as ratings. I can understand all the criticisms though. I just tend to be more forgiving of found footage movies. I do own this one on Blu ray and want to watch it again after hearing the conversation.

    With next week’s pick I can’t say I’m excited, but I’ll try to tough it out and watch that movie just like Jay has forced you two to do. At this point the movie doesn’t matter. I just love hearing your conversations on them.

    1. Trey-

      You have my permission to hate on Jay for next weeks episode. I still hate him for it. I definitely was a little too hard on Butterfly Kisses. I actually really liked it. I’m a hard ass.

      Thanks for listening. Next week should be fun?

      1. Haha I don’t think I’m prepared for that episode. I feel like it might break someone.

        I think your score was still pretty fair. We need tougher critics to offset people like me who give out higher scores generally. It’s been a while since I’ve watched it so who knows. Maybe my opinion will change too.

    2. Trey, you are a national treasure like Dave Becker and Dave Zee. Thank you for calling in. I can’t wait to mix it up with you one day soon!

      And man… that Strip Club Massacre movie… I do NOT like hating on movies, but my goodness… Jay got his revenge here, but… at what cost?????

      1. I don’t know if I belong in that esteemed company, but I appreciate it Watson! That voicemail was a lot of fun to record and man I would love to talk horror with you anytime any place! As far as I’m concerned HMW has an open invitation to be on my podcast any time.

        Oh no. I’m envisioning you all being scarred and broken beyond recognition after that. I do want to hear the episode but not the permanent damage to your pshyche. Can we finally end this war between Jay vs Watson? Lol

        1. Oh, my man… you are a podcaster who is rocketing up there with the greats like the Daves! LOL. We will mix it up soon, naturally.

          As for the war between Jay and me, let’s address this and make some things clear here. 😉

          When I brought Psycho Goreman to the table, I GENUINELY thought Jay might have a great time with his son watching this movie and would thereby expand his famously narrow horizons. I was wrong on all counts. And so… my authentic desire to present Jay with a fun movie led to his revenge plot. Good move there on his part… I will say that. He wins. But I’ve asked this before and will continue to do so… AT WHAT COST?

          Trey, if you do watch Strip Club Massacre, I unapologetically encourage you to watch it for FREE by any means necessary. Do not spend a cent on this, sir. Much love, always. You are the best!

          1. Oh I’m way ahead of you buddy. I didn’t pay a cent to watch Zombie Strippers and I wouldn’t pay a cent for this if I watch it lol.

            The war with Jay comment was all in jest. I never thought you actually tried to start something. As always I believe you’re just trying to help Jay expand his horror horizons and challenge his beliefs of what he likes. No harm in that.

            I liked Psycho Goreman fine enough myself and can see why people dislike it, but let’s be clear. There’s no way Psycho Goreman could be on the level of something like Strip Club Massacre. I feel like the whole thing is the equivalent of Watson accidentally shooting out a window in Jay’s house and Jay retaliating by bulldozing Watson’s house.

            Hopefully this is the end of the “war” and my favorite podcasters can get back to covering their normal fare.

            As always hope you and your son are doing well my friend!

            PS: I just got to the WZ Party episode where you revealed how much you hate this movie along with a few others. Maybe keep that on the DL in the future haha.

  2. Psyched for Strip Club Massacre. Sorry, Watson! Now when my wife walks in and asks me what the hell I’m watching I can blame it on you guys 😂.

    Have any of you seen the Apostle (2018) on Netflix? I’ve been meaning to rewatch it lately. It’s a Cult Horror/Mystery starring Dan Stevens. I just thought I’d throw that one out there because I haven’t heard any talk about it and I thought it was a solid horror movie.

    Also, I’m currently watching the series “Raised By Wolves” on HBO Max and I think some of you may like it. The first couple episodes were directed by Ridley Scott. I would say it has “Prometheus” vibes if you’ve seen that movie. It explores parenthood, spirituality, and what it means to be human. It is heavy sci-fi with some pretty creepy moments that would satisfy a horror lover.

    Anyway I just wanted to throw those out there. Thanks for doing what you do!

    1. Brian,

      I LOVE Apostle! It made my top 10 of 2018, which is probably my favorite year of horror EVER! I mean that. That’s a movie I’ve thought about bringing to this show, and thanks to you… it will DEFINITELY happen!

      I don’t know what Raised By Wolves is, but it sounds super good, and while I disagree with Jay about Alien: Covenant, I do quite love Prometheus!

      Thank you for your kind words. It means the world to me.

  3. Shape of Horror spotted again, “Deep Red” (1975), right before the murder of Amanda Righetti.
