Episode 217 – Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025)
December 28, 2025

While not without its pitfalls, this remake of the 80s slasher is still quite entertaining, and continues the franchise’s improbably strong record.Please follow us on Twitter @ShockDoctorsPod, on Facebook at facebook.com/shockdoctorspod, or check u

Episode 216 – Five Nights at Freddy’s 2
December 21, 2025

Are they ghosts? Are they robots? Both? Neither? This frustrating conundrum marred the first film, but it reaches new lows this time around thanks to “The Marionette” and its possession of several human beings.Please follow us on Twitter @Sho

Episode 215 – Friday the 13th Quadruple Feature
December 14, 2025

We watched the last four Friday the 13th sequels, and it went about as poorly as you’d expect. They started out bad, and just got steadily worse.Please follow us on Twitter @ShockDoctorsPod, on Facebook at facebook.com/shockdoctorspod, or check us

Episode 214 – Keeper
November 30, 2025

Possibly the weakest of Oz Perkins’ films, Keeper is nevertheless a creepy good time, featuring strong performances from Rossif Sutherland and especially Tatiana Maslany.Please follow us on Twitter @ShockDoctorsPod, on Facebook at facebook.com/shoc

Episode 213 – Shelby Oaks
November 16, 2025

Chris Stuckmann’s debut feature is a dreadful amalgam of a dozen other movies some good, some bad with an unintentional howler of an ending. Woeful.Please follow us on Twitter @ShockDoctorsPod, on Facebook at facebook.com/shockdoctorspod, or ch

Episode 212 – Frankenstein (2025)

Episode 211 – Black Phone 2
November 03, 2025

Another go-around with Ethan Hawke’s Grabber is bound to be at least a little fun, but there’s not enough of him, and Derrickson can’t fully commit to the protagonist switch he’s stumbled into.Please follow us on Twitter @ShockDoc

Episode 210 – V/H/S/Halloween
October 19, 2025

The eighth installment in the found footage anthology franchise is a half-step up from the period-piece trilogy, but until they extricate themselves from this splatstick rut, these films will never live up to the promise of the first two.Please follow us

Episode 209 – The Strangers: Chapter 2
September 30, 2025

The saggy midsection of a trilogy that should only have been one movie or none at all this latest installment is shapeless, bottom-of-the-barrel stuff. Just woeful.Please follow us on Twitter @ShockDoctorsPod, on Facebook at facebook.com/shockdoctors

Episode 208 – The Conjuring: Last Rites
September 21, 2025

Not as much of a trainwreck as The Devil Made Me Do It, the final(?) installment in The Conjuring series still suffers from the same storytelling pitfalls and overall churchiness as the rest. The first remains really the only one worth watching.Please fo
