In a recent episode, your late-night Horror host Jason Pyles (aka “Jay of the Dead”) received a voicemail from The Gray Man in Ohio, describing a remarkable film challenge that he completed with his buddy, Jody Horror Guy, of the Reel Blood Podcast Network. So, here in Episode 028 of Considering Horror Cinema, Jay of the Dead interviews Jody Horror Guy and Greg “The Gray Man” Bensch about their impressive Film Challenge: Three Decades of Theatrical Horror (1990 – 2019).

Anytime cinephiles complete a film challenge out of pure love of cinema (such as Dr. Shock’s 2,500 Movies Challenge), it’s worth admiring and hearing about how it was accomplished and what they learned from the journey. In Jody and Greg’s challenge, they watched a total of 972 Horror movies that were released theatrically over 30 years in the United States between 1990 and 2019. So, Jay of the Dead asks these intrepid film fans some logistical questions about how they pulled this off and which of the 972 Horror films were most notable. See Greg and Jody’s entire 972 Horror Film List on Letterboxd. Thank you to Jody Horror Guy and Greg “The Gray Man” Bensch for agreeing to share their experience while Considering Horror Cinema.

Don’t whiz on the Sacred Ancestral Tree! Good advice. Anybody who has been listening to Jay of the Dead’s podcasts for awhile knows that there is often content that was recorded months (or even years!) previously before it ever sees the light of day. But that content does eventually get released!

In Episode 026 of Considering Horror Cinema, your late-night Horror host Jason Pyles (aka “Jay of the Dead”) is finally revealing the podcast recordings that have been hiding in his attic! All the reviews in this episode were recorded in 2019. This episode has the longest review ever committed to the film 976-Evil (1989), as Jay of the Dead discusses it with Greg “The Gray Man” Bensch. (It’s about an hour long.) Then Jay does a 75-minute deep-dive discussion of Midsommar (2019) with the oracle Jody Horror Guy (of the Reel Blood Podcast Network) and his unclouded intuition. Jay also gripes a little about the term “Folk Horror” and goes on a lot about the scariest disease ever, Munchausen syndrome by proxy. Jay also brings you solocast reviews of BrightBurn (2019) and The Intruder (2019) and The Perfection (2019) and Friend Request (2017) and The Hunted (2014) and Basement Jack (2009).
