Anyway, as we were saying six months ago, we’re back again and we have revised our Feature Review selection parameters of our pool of Horror movies to this special span: 2005 to 2015. The time span in Horror is important to your intrepid hosts because it overlaps with the era of films discussed in their formative years of Horror podcasting. Therefore, here in Episode 180 of Horror Movie Weekly, Jay of the Dead and Mister Watson bring you a Feature Review of the fairly obscure Black Mountain Side (2014), which is an apparent homage to John Carpenter’s “The Thing” (1982). And in addition to our usual Micro Horror Movie Reviews, the boys break out into a brief Concept Discussion about the way they deal with the finite number of movies that any of us can watch during our lives: Watson and Jay share their feelings about rewatching movies and the famous “Dave Zee Second Watch.” Also, Jay calls out himself for bailing on his principles and being hypocritical for determining “Year of Release” on “older release movies.” And for whatever reason, apropos of nothing, Jay tells stories about his late ’90s comedy songs, “Flyin’ to Flin Flon” and “What Is It These Stars Are Made of?” (These show notes read like the ramblings of a crazy person.) And inexplicably, late in this self-same episode, Watson goes through two simultaneous Charlie horses on air! Ha ha Eat more bananas, Watson! And you know the kind we mean!
Note: This episode was recorded on March 3, 2025.

This weekly Horror movie podcast brings you one recent Horror movie review every Sunday. (As noted previously, we’re defining “recent” as any Horror movie released within the last five years or the current year; so now that it’s 2024, we’ll be covering Horror films from 2019 to the present.) And we always reveal next week’s pick at the end of every show, so you can watch along with us and be prepared for the following episode. Thanks for listening!

Wrap-Up:
– Jay’s original song, “Flyin’ to Flin Flon” (1998) – **NOTE: When Jay wrote this in the late ’90s, he was genuinly unaware that the previously commonly used term “midget” had become non-PC and mildly offensive. But yes, the fictitious pilot in this song is a “little person.”
– A dramatic reading of the song lyrics for “What Is It These Stars Are Made of?” by Jason Pyles
