What makes a movie a cult movie? This week, Hops & Monsters sits down with film and scotch lover Neil Pearlmutter, founder of the Roxy 14 - CULT Film Series at Roxy Stadium 14 , Santa Rosa. Neil gives us an industry insider's view on the nerdiest flicks of the last 40 years, and we talk about CULT Film Series' upcoming October schedule, including a tribute to Tobe Hooper on Oct 5 featuring Texas Chainsaw Massacre, a screening of BLOOD DINER with director Jackie Kong on Oct 20, and a showing of Re-Animator with actor Jeffrey Combs on Oct 26. We also have an exclusive(!) first look at the upcoming Silver Scream Fest in Santa Rosa, happening next year. Do not miss this one!

IT looks like a clown, but IT's not here to amuse you. This week, Hops & Monsters reviews the latest horror sensation with returning guests Eric Ritz and Rachel Pasco. Along the way, we delve into a series of worthwhile tangents, including pro wrestling, vintage lunch boxes and juggalo culture. We also pay a tribute to late character actor Harry Dean Stanton. Listen now.

Our long awaited ongoing exploration of filmmaker David Cronenberg continues this week with special guest Eric Ritz. We start with a bottom-hitting ramble, but we recover quickly and talk about the good, the great and the grossest movies and monsters from the horror icon’s career while guzzling beers and generally making mayhem. Make sure you listen to part one first, then jump in the deep end with us, here.

Correctly said Enemy Mine when the wife texted "Is there an older Dennis Quaid alien movie where he raises a creepy alien baby?"

This week, Hops and Monsters is all about heavy metal and monster movies. From legendary thrash metal band Skitzo, frontman Lance Ozanix talks about how The Exorcist informed his stage persona and how he made his own cult film, Holy Moly; and from rising black metal outfit Barren Altar, Ryan and Ed “The Shred” share their most metal memories and explain why they like it dark. Finally, the whole gang talks about the most cursed films ever. This episode seriously rocks, listen to it now.

The debut episode of my new podcast, appropriately released on Halloween '16, is a lively, tongue-in-cheek (or maybe out-of-cheek) retrospective of filmland's most famous flesh eaters and the trauma they inflicted on our young, impressionable minds ... also we have a few beers.
