  • Dawn of the Dead (1978)
    Apr 23 2025

    Grab Your Shopping Carts!

    Art and Erik are shambling their way through George Romero’s Dawn of the Dead, where the dead walk, the living bicker, and the mall is somehow both sanctuary and nightmare.

    They chat all things zombie: from wild gore and weirder decisions to the surprisingly deep social satire hiding behind the blood splatter. The hosts unpack multiple cuts of the film (because of course there are like, seven), debate whether mall life is post-apocalyptic heaven or hell, and wonder why biker gangs always ruin everything.

    And Erik keeps checking his room as it gets dark!

    It’s a love letter to horror, a roast of late-stage capitalism, and a celebration of practical effects and poor planning—all in one juicy, undead-packed episode.

  • Cabin in the Woods (2011)
    Apr 16 2025

    Sometimes a mass ritual sacrifice is necessary to keep up office morale!

    In this episode of Midnight Cinema, Art Hennessey and Erik Rodenhiser head into Cabin in the Woods—where the monsters are terrifying, but middle management might be worse.

    We’re talking zombie redneck torture families, Latin no one should be reading, and a betting pool more intense than your March Madness bracket. From harbingers who don't get enough respect to control room chaos, we unpack all the glorious genre-bending madness and why Marty might just be the stoner messiah we deserve.

    Oh, and if you think this movie is just another slasher flick? Just....keep watching.
