  SJT: 12 Monkeys (1995)

  Sep 29, 20261h 28m

  12 Monkeys (1995) might be one of the weirdest, smartest, and most completely unhinged sci-fi movies of the ‘90s. This week on Straitjacket Talk, we're joined by Bearclaw from the Mouths of Madness Podcast to revisit Terry Gilliam’s apocalyptic time-travel mind-bender starring Bruce Willis, Brad Pitt, and Madeleine Stowe. We’re breaking down the insanity: Is James Cole actually crazy? Does time travel make ANY sense? Did Cole accidentally help cause the apocalypse? What exactly was the Army of the 12 Monkeys responsible for? And most importantly… why does a movie called 12 Monkeys have a suspicious lack of actual monkeys? We also dig into Brad Pitt’s absolutely unhinged performance, Bruce Willis showing off some serious dramatic chops, the movie’s bizarre visuals, its surprisingly funny moments, that unforgettable ending, and whether 12 Monkeys deserves to be considered a sci-fi horror classic. Key Moments 00:00 Intro 01:20 12 Monkeys (1995) – The Basics 04:02 Revisiting a Forgotten ’90s Sci-Fi Classic 07:12 First Impressions & Brad Pitt Goes INSANE 24:05 The Apocalypse Hits Different Now 29:15 How 12 Monkeys Handles Time Travel 42:48 Cole & Kathryn – Love, Madness, or Both? 52:00 The Army of the 12 Monkeys Twist 55:06 Did Cole Actually Cause the Apocalypse? 57:28 Breaking Down That Ending 1:06:18 Quote or Kill 1:10:17 Letterboxd Ratings (Final Scores) 1:15:26 What We’ve Been Watching Your hosts- Kevin, Nathan, and Gill Produced by Nathan Check out the video format of this episode on YouTube Follow Straitjacket Talk ↓ All links, socials & more: Linktree “Dismember” Theme Music by Nathan

  Hell House LLC (2015)

  Sep 22, 20261h 35m

  THE LOST EPISODE OF MOUTHS OF MADNESS HAS BEEN FOUND… In 1996, the Mouths of Madness made the extremely intelligent decision to record an episode LIVE from the Abaddon Hotel. They headed into the basement, set up the microphones…and were never heard from again. Until now. Recovered audio has finally revealed what happened that night — and apparently we spent our final hours reviewing HELL HOUSE LLC (2015). ️ We’re diving into one of the most talked-about found footage horror movies of the last decade: creepy clowns that DEFINITELY moved, demonic basement activity, ghost children, portals to Hell, terrible business decisions, and a group of people with absolutely ZERO survival instincts. Some of us think Hell House LLC is one of the scariest and best found footage horror movies ever made… while others would rather be dragged into the basement by a demon than sit through the shaky cam again. Is Hell House LLC a modern found footage horror classic — or one seriously overrated haunted house? Key Moments 00:00 The Lost Episode – Live From the Abaddon Hotel 04:21 Hell House LLC (2015) – Movie Info & Patreon Pick 06:44 Overall Thoughts – Is Hell House LLC Actually Scary? 20:56 Found Footage, the Abaddon Hotel & What the Hell Is Going On? 38:18 That Clown, the Best Scares & When Are You Leaving?! 50:59 Opening Night, the Basement & Hell House LLC Ending Explained 1:01:07 The Wrap Up – Conspiracy Theories & Hot Takes 1:04:45 Hall of Slain – Who Makes the Cut? 1:08:08 Hook, Line & Stinker 1:13:47 Final Ratings – Killer / Survivor / Victim 1:18:56 Audience Takes & What We’ve Been Watching Episode 69 Featuring Kevin, Dan, Bearclaw & Logan Produced by Nathan Mouths of Madness is a long-form horror podcast dedicated to deep-dive discussions on classic, cult, and disturbing horror films—with an unhinged twist.

  SJT: Ginger Snaps (2000)

  Sep 15, 20261h 21m

  Ginger Snaps (2000) might be one of the most underrated werewolf movies EVER made. This week on Straitjacket Talk, we sink our teeth into the Canadian cult horror classic Ginger Snaps — a movie where puberty is already horrifying enough… and then somebody decides to throw LYCANTHROPY into the mix. We break down Ginger & Brigitte’s complicated sisterhood, the movie’s brilliant puberty/body-horror metaphor, its gnarly practical werewolf effects, that killer early-2000s soundtrack, and why Jennifer’s Body owes this movie at least a thank-you card. Plus: questionable werewolf anatomy, way too many dead dogs, and the important questions nobody else was brave enough to ask. Key Moments 00:00 Welcome to Ginger Snaps 01:24 The Controversy & Cult Classic Origins 06:22 Overall Thoughts on Ginger Snaps 19:44 Ginger & Brigitte: Sisterhood, Obsession & Toxicity 26:50 Puberty, Periods & Werewolf Body Horror 33:37 Is Ginger’s Mom Secretly Insane?! 37:49 Sam, Werewolf Science & Jennifer’s Body Comparisons 45:40 Ginger’s Transformation & Werewolf Effects 51:52 Breaking Down That Bleak Ending 1:09:17 Quote or Kill 1:15:56 Letterboxd Ratings (Final Scores) Your hosts- Kevin, Nathan, and Gill Produced by Nathan Check out the video format of this episode on YouTube Follow Straitjacket Talk ↓ All links, socials & more: Linktree “Dismember” Theme Music by Nathan

  Hokum (2026)

  Sep 8, 20261h 42mS3

  Apparently reviewing Hokum (2026) wasn’t enough for Logan… so he bought an Irish hotel. Welcome to Logan’s Dread & Breakfast, where the doors mysteriously lock behind you, the continental breakfast is basically Mountain Dew, Bearclaw has his own VERY special room, and we’re pretty sure this place is one insurance claim away from financial stability. Once we survive check-in, we dive deep into Hokum (2026) and ask the important question: Is this one of the BEST supernatural horror movies of the year… or did Adam Scott just spend two hours tripping on mushroom whiskey and running from an Irish witch? In this episode of the Mouths of Madness, we break down Damian McCarthy’s latest nightmare, including the creepy Irish hotel setting, terrifying jump scares, Adam Scott’s performance, the mysterious witch, Jack the Jackass, THAT ending, and most importantly… Jerry and his legendary mushroom goat milk. Key Moments 00:00 Intro – Welcome to Logan’s Dread & Breakfast 04:42 Hokum (2026) – Cast, Box Office & Rotten Tomatoes 08:20 Why We Chose Hokum + Overall Thoughts 28:06 Owen Bowman – Guilt, Trauma & the Hero’s Journey 34:38 The Haunted Hotel, Irish Folklore & Atmosphere 38:01 Is the Witch Actually Real?! 52:02 Breaking Down the Witch, Trauma & Hokum’s Ending 1:02:52 The Wrap Up – Conspiracy Theories & Hot Takes 1:09:09 Hall of Slain – Who Makes the Cut? 1:12:48 Hook, Line & Stinker 1:21:53 Final Ratings – Killer / Survivor / Victim 1:29:06 Audience Takes & What We’ve Been Watching Episode 68 Featuring Kevin, Dan, Bearclaw & Logan Produced by Nathan Mouths of Madness is a long-form horror podcast dedicated to deep-dive discussions on classic, cult, and disturbing horror films—with an unhinged twist.

  BONUS: Straitjacket Talk- Female Trouble (1974)

  Sep 1, 20261h 23m

  Female Trouble (1974) might be one of the most UNHINGED movies we’ve ever reviewed. John Waters + Divine + cha-cha heels + a bowl of spaghetti = absolute CINEMA. In this episode, we dive into the filthy, hilarious, low-budget madness of Female Trouble, debate whether it actually qualifies as horror, discuss why Divine’s Dawn Davenport is somehow impossible NOT to root for, and ask the important question: Is crime really beauty? From the legendary Christmas meltdown to acid attacks, fish, questionable parenting, the most chaotic dinner party imaginable, and an electric-chair finale… John Waters certainly gave us plenty to talk about. We also break down the movie’s cult status, its punk-rock DIY style, the performances, its surprisingly relevant themes about fame and crime, and whether Female Trouble is the BEST gateway into the wonderfully disgusting world of John Waters. Key Moments 00:00 Female Trouble (1974) Review 02:11 Why Female Trouble? | Our First Impressions 09:14 Pink Flamingos vs. Female Trouble 16:34 Does the LOW Budget Make It Better? 19:51 Was John Waters Ahead of His Time? 25:53 Dawn Davenport: Villain, Hero or Both?32:01 The INSANE Characters of Female Trouble 42:00 The Dashers, Fame & “Crime Is Beauty”47:00 The Nightclub, Spaghetti & TOTAL CHAOS 1:04:29 Quote or Kill 1:07:52 Letterboxd Ratings (Final Scores) 1:12:40 What We've Been Watching (Horror Recs & Recent Watches) Your hosts- Kevin, Nathan, and Gill Produced by Nathan Check out the video format of this episode on YouTube Follow Straitjacket Talk ↓ All links, socials & more: Linktree “Dismember” Theme Music by Nathan
