2023 Year End Wrap-Up | Movie Dumpster LIVE
Welcome to our 2023 Year End LIVE Wrap-Up!
Gremlins (1984) | Movie Dumpster S6 E17
Trashing Through Snow comes to a close with the Joe Dante horror-comedy Christmas classic, Gremlins! Despite being a huge success, this flick caught a lot of heat for being marketed as a kid friendly movie and ended up being deemed too scary according to some parents. If you ask us, those folks just need to grow a pair–of mogwai that is! Gremlins is the perfect gateway horror movie, and we'll stand by that! So, remember those three important rules, and don't buy your kids exotic pets because you just might end up with a gremlin in your house!
Silent Night, Bloody Night (1972) | Movie Dumpster S6 E16
Seasons Bleedings, Dumpster Dwellers! I'ts Christmas time in the video dungeon once again for our annual Trashing Through the Snow festivities. This week, we're opening the fat man's sack and pulling out an early 70s gem of which just might be the first Christmas horror movie ever made! Sharpen up your axe, and whisper sweet nothings into that telephone receiver because we're about to inherit all of the horror of Silent Night, Bloody Night!
The Company of Wolves (1984) | Movie Dumpster S6 E15
There's a full moon in the video dungeon this week, Dumpster Dwellers! We're exploring Neil Jordan's gothic horror fairytale that doles out the life lessons and the hurdles of coming of age. Does The Company of Wolves get werewolf lore right? Get hitched to a traveling man who's eyebrows meet in the middle and let's see who's hairy on the inside or not!
Thanksgiving (2023) | Ripe Reviews
This week in in the video dungeon we're taking a look at a movie 16 years in the making! Originally part of the fake trailer showcase included in the Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez double feature event GRINDHOUSE, Thanksgiving promised us a glorious holiday slasher throwback with all the exploitation fixin's! Now we're talking turkey, but was Eli Roth's Thanksgiving worth the wait? Sharpen up that axe, and slip into your best Boston accent because it's time to set the table for THANKSGIVING!
Effect and Cause | Talks from the Darkside
Effect and CauseFormer hippie and free-spirited artist Kate Collins (Susan Strasberg), after discovering a sinister painting in her collection and reusing the canvas, discovers that the laws of cause and effect are beginning to operate in reverse.

SAW X (2023) | Ripe Reviews
Let’s play a game one more time, Dumpster Dwellers! Connor McGraw joins us this week for a special Dumpster trio reunion to talk about the ninth sequel, requel, smeequel in the John Kramer legacy. Nestling itself between SAW and SAW II, SAW X acts as an interstitial that weaves a questionable anti-hero storyline, showing a different side of John Kramer that we have never seen. The real lesson from this game is that if something is too good to be true, it probably is! Pack up your tool bags and trap blueprints because we're headed to Mexico for a miracle cure with SAW X!

Sweet Home (1989) | Movie Dumpster S6 E13
We once again enter the world of survival horror... for the first time! The foreboding Mamiya Mansion has been closed for over 30 years after a horrible tragedy. Deadly supernatural occurrences have kept intruders and thrill seekers away, until a crew of documentary filmmakers embark to tell the real story of the mansion's tormented owner, and famous painter, Ichirō Mamiya. The crew quickly gets more than they bargained for after disturbing the ghost of Lady Mamiya, who is about to unleash the fury of a thousand angry mothers–She wants her baby back (ribs)! Debuting in 1989, Sweet Home marked the first time a video game and movie were made simultaneously to compliment each other as one entire story experience. With one of Japan's greatest horror directors, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, and the talents of legendary FX maestro, Dick Smith, this oft forgotten J-horror haunted house flick is a truly terrifying experience just in time for Trick or Trash. Grab your vacuum and stay in the light because we're blowing the coffin lid off SWEET HOME with special guest Kieeeern!

Directed by Michael Lehmann of "Heathers" fame, comes another satirical cult classic lost in the shuffle of the early 90s due to poor marketing and the collapse of New World Pictures. Join Dick, Jane, Sally, and Johnny as they try to navigate the American dream and the trials and tribulations of life as humans.

Leviathan (1989) | Movie Dumpster S6 E9
16,000 feet below the ocean's surface, geologist Peter Weller is the court appointed captain of a ragtag group of precious metal miners. After Daniel Stern uncovers a safe inside of a nearby ship wreck, all hell breaks loose as a vodka-borne bio experiment starts infecting the crew, turning them into hideously deformed mutant fish monsters. Premiering the same year as James Cameron's The Abyss, this flick was unfortunately very poorly received as just some ripoff of Alien and The Thing underwater. Tony from @HackTheMovies joins us to reclaim this sunken treasure and bring this star-studded special effects feast to the surface! Strip down to your undies and slide into your compression suit because we are going toe to toe with the ultimate deep sea terror in LEVIATHAN.
