    Nightwish (1989): Alien Nightmares, Dream Demons And One Seriously Twisted Halloween Movie | Johnny Spoiler

    Halloween is here, and Johnny Spoiler has a survival plan for grown-ups: cheap wine, pizza, questionable romantic decisions, and scary movies until sunrise. Forget poisoned Halloween candy. You're an adult now. You buy your own candy and make your own bad decisions.

    Welcome to the Halloween edition of Binge-Watchers Podcast, where we're diving headfirst into NIGHTWISH (1989), a forgotten sci-fi horror fever dream packed with alien abductions, demonic entities, haunted houses, experimental dream technology, and enough glowing green ectoplasm to make the Ghostbusters file for overtime.

    Directed by Bruce R. Cook, NIGHTWISH follows a professor and four graduate students conducting experiments with dreams, death, and alternate dimensions. Naturally, everything goes horribly wrong. What begins as a scientific investigation turns into a surreal nightmare where nobody knows what's real, who's dreaming, or why the professor is such a complete lunatic.

    And that's before a giant ectoplasm worm starts swallowing people.

    This Week on Binge-Watchers Podcast:

    🎃 NIGHTWISH (1989) Review & Reaction

    Johnny breaks down this bizarre late-'80s horror oddity, featuring early practical effects work from KNB EFX, the legendary makeup effects team that would go on to work on The Walking Dead.

    We're talking sensory deprivation tanks, neon-soaked dream sequences, topless college students, supernatural green energy, alien encounters, and a dream-within-a-dream ending that raises more questions than it answers.

    Is NIGHTWISH an overlooked Halloween gem or a great concept trapped inside a confused B-movie?

    Johnny delivers his verdict: BINGE LATER. Better idea than execution, but still worth considering for a cozy Halloween horror marathon.

    Hollywood never sleeps, even when the dead are restless.

    We reflect on the life and legacy of Sir Patrick Stewart, the legendary actor behind Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Professor Charles Xavier.

    Plus, SMILE 3 is moving forward with director David Bruckner and screenwriter Nick Antosca, while Diane Morgan returns as the hilariously clueless Philomena Cunk in CUNK ON CINEMA.

    🔪 STAFF PICKS: CHILD'S PLAY (1988)

    Sometimes the best therapy is a killer doll on a giant movie screen.

    After a personally difficult year, Johnny finds some unexpected comfort at his hometown theater, where free Halloween screenings bring him face-to-face with the original CHILD'S PLAY.

    Chucky is back, and watching that little plastic psychopath terrorize audiences on the big screen is a reminder of why we fell in love with horror movies in the first place.

    🎬 9 NIGHTS OF SPOILAWEEN: THE HALLOWEEN FINALE

    We've survived nine nights of cult horror, forgotten monsters, radioactive mutants, alien nightmares, and cinematic insanity.

    From C.H.U.D. and THE TERROR WITHIN to LIFE FORCE and SATURN 3, Johnny celebrates another season of SPOILAWEEN before turning the lights back on.

    The Terror Within 1 & 2: Mutant Monsters, Alien Rip-Offs & Rubber-Suit Nightmares | Spoilaween

    Two movies. One underground nightmare. Zero respect for the laws of monster biology. Welcome to SPOILAWEEN! 🎃

    Johnny Spoiler crawls into the radioactive ruins of Roger Corman's post-apocalyptic creature features The Terror Within (1989) and The Terror Within II (1991). Humanity is hiding underground, mutant Gargoyles are running wild in the Mojave Desert, and apparently the greatest threat to civilization is a monster that looks like a Sleestak from Land of the Lost on steroids.

    DRINK JOLT SODA with our Amazon affiliate link: https://tr.ee/JoltCreamSodaBW

    These bargain-bin Alien knockoffs have everything: mutant monster babies, rubber-suit wrestlers, suspiciously familiar blowtorches, and creatures that can survive lasers but somehow lose fights with ceiling fans.

    Johnny digs into the bizarre Hollywood connections behind these cult horror sequels, including Andrew Stevens' surprisingly massive producing career, his legendary mother Stella Stevens, and R. Lee Ermey's refreshingly practical reason for appearing in the sequel: he needed to pay for his house.

Sleestaks, dinosaurs, and one seriously underrated piece of science-fiction history.

    THE VERDICT: Are The Terror Within and its sequel forgotten B-movie treasures, or radioactive garbage best left buried underground? Johnny delivers his BINGE NOW, BINGE LATER, or BINGE NEVER verdict.

    It's Halloween with Johnny Spoiler. It's SPOILAWEEN.

    C.H.U.D. (1984): Sewer Monsters, Government Conspiracies And A Mermaid From Hell | Spoilaween

    Say Johnny Spoiler three times, and I'll pop up to spoil your movie! 

    I'm BACK, all you ghouls, goblins, fiends, and fiendettes! Welcome to SPOILAWEEN, where we're digging up cult horror classics, disturbing movie news, and creatures that probably should've stayed buried.

    This week on Binge-Watchers Podcast with Johnny Spoiler, we're heading beneath the streets of New York City for C.H.U.D. (1984), the radioactive sewer monster movie that asks one very important question: What's really living underneath our cities, and why does the government keep dumping things down there?

    Starring John Heard and Daniel Stern, C.H.U.D. delivers cannibalistic underground mutants, glowing monster eyes, toxic government secrets, and one of John Goodman's earliest movie appearances.

    Here's the surprise: I've never watched the original C.H.U.D. until now! I've seen the ridiculous horror-comedy sequel, but the first movie is a completely different beast. The actors take the absurd premise seriously, the fully formed monsters look fantastic, and a few unexpected moments actually caught me off guard.

    My verdict? BINGE NOW. A very mild Binge Now. Barely. But those sewer-dwelling monsters earned it!

    HOMEVIDEO HEADLINES:

    • Parker Posey Returns to Horror! Blumhouse and Atomic Monster are teaming up for Sleepover, a new horror film arriving in 2027.

    • Mum, I'm Alien Pregnant! A bizarre New Zealand body-horror comedy about an extraterrestrial pregnancy, dysfunctional families, and grotesque practical effects.

    • Lucio Fulci's The Beyond Is Getting Remade! The 1981 Italian horror classic about a Louisiana hotel sitting on a gateway to hell is getting another shot at terrifying audiences.

    MOVIE OF THE WEEK: C.H.U.D (1984)

    Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers!

    We're talking radioactive mutations, disappearing homeless people, government cover-ups, and some surprisingly effective creature designs.

    Plus, did you know C.H.U.D. helped inspire Jordan Peele's Us? Or that John Heard and Daniel Stern would eventually reunite in the Home Alone franchise, although they never shared a scene?

    We'll also dig into the bizarre history of C.H.U.D. II: Bud the C.H.U.D., including its connection to Return of the Living Dead and a Robert Englund cameo.

    FAN SERVICE: STREET FIGHTER TRAILER REACTIONS

    The Street Fighter trailer comments are getting wild! Fans are mostly excited, but some are worried the movie looks like AI. We're diving into the reactions, the skepticism, and the internet's latest cinematic panic.

    STAFF PICKS: MERMAID (2026)

    What happens when a down-on-his-luck Florida man finds a grotesque, injured mermaid, brings her home, and keeps her in his bathtub?

    You get Mermaid, Tyler Cornack's bizarre dark comedy starring Johnny Pemberton, Robert Patrick, Kevin Nealon, and Tom Arnold.

    It's weird, violent, disturbing, and exactly the kind of movie that belongs on Binge-Watchers.

    The INCOMER Is the Best Movie of 2026?! Plus Don't Breathe 3, Jamie Foxx, And Killer Goblins

    A movie about two Scottish weirdos who eat seagulls, fear the ocean, and think an iPhone is witchcraft? Yeah, this might be the best movie I've seen all year.

    Johnny Spoiler is back with another episode of Binge-Watchers Podcast, and Weird Movie Month is delivering one hell of a surprise.

    Try MEATZY   https://tr.ee/GetMeatzyJohnny

    Get JOLT MODERN SODA https://tr.ee/JoltCreamSodaBW

    This week, we're reviewing The Incomer (2026), the bizarre Scottish fantasy comedy starring Domhnall Gleeson, Gayle Rankin, Grant O'Rourke, and John Hannah. Two isolated siblings have spent 30 years living on a remote island, surviving on oysters, seagulls, and their father's number-one rule: NO INCOMERS. Then an awkward government official shows up to relocate them, and all hell breaks loose.

    We're talking mythical seal-men, seagull ceremonies, a vegan trying to survive on an island full of carnivores, and possibly the greatest use of an iPhone in a fantasy movie. It's weird, it's hilarious, and it has a surprising amount of heart. Johnny doesn't hand out many BINGE NOW ratings, but this one might just deserve it.

    But first, the Home Video Headlines!

    John Goblikon, the internet's favorite heavy-metal goblin, has a bloody new horror-comedy web series called No One Survives. Meanwhile, Don't Breathe 3 is in development, with Jane Levy and Stephen Lang set to return. And Jamie Foxx is heading to Amazon Prime Video with Deadlocked, a courthouse hostage thriller that sounds like Die Hard with jury duty.

    Plus, this week's Fan Service and Staff Picks:

    A listener wants to know which is better: the original Alien Nation movie with James Caan and Mandy Patinkin or the cult-classic television series. Johnny revisits both, including the alien biology, buddy-cop action, and the surprising differences between the two versions.

    And for this week's Staff Pick, we're revisiting Seth Rogen's gloriously uncomfortable 2009 dark comedy Observe and Report. Forget Paul Blart. This mall cop has some serious problems.

    Finally, fall is here, Halloween is creeping closer, and Johnny is getting ready for 9 Nights of Spoilaween, complete with werewolf movies, horror recommendations, and more cinematic weirdness.

    Subscribe, grab your favorite questionable snack, and join Johnny Spoiler for movie news, cult classics, strange cinema, and the occasional movie that's actually worth watching.

    Are We Not Cats?! Hair-Eating Horror + Darkwing Duck Returns And AI Gene Wilder

    What happens when you lose your girlfriend, your job, your apartment—and then fall for someone who eats human hair?

    Johnny Spoiler dives into Are We Not Cats, Xander Robin’s bizarre body-horror romance about two damaged people who discover they share one seriously disturbing habit. There’s hair pulling, hair eating, a guy living in a box truck, ketchup soup, and eventually a hairball situation that absolutely nobody asked for.

    Binge Now, Binge Later, or Binge Never? Johnny decides whether this strange little indie deserves a spot on your watchlist.

     Darkwing Duck is back! Disney+ is bringing the terror that flaps in the night back with Mark Hamill as Darkwing Duck and Seth Rogen as Launchpad McQuack.

     Weird Al has officially gone cosmic. There is now an asteroid named after Weird Al Yankovic.

     Queens of the Stone Age ask, “Where the Goth Girls At?” Johnny checks out the new single ahead of Perfecth.

     Netflix resurrects Gene Wilder’s Willy Wonka voice with AI for Wonka’s The Golden Ticket—and people have some very strong feelings about it.

    Plus, fans are losing their minds over the upcoming Street Fighter movie, and Johnny’s Staff Pick is The Weight, the gritty Depression-era crime thriller starring Ethan Hawke, Russell Crowe, and Julia Jones.

    Come for the movie recommendations. Stay for the giant stomach hairball.

    EAT AND RUN: The 400-Pound Alien Who Only Eats Italians?! | Weird ’80s Movie Night

     An alien lands in New York City…and decides Italians are delicious. Not Italian FOOD. Italians.

    Johnny Spoiler is back to audit somebody else’s life for a change, and this week we’re digging up one of the strangest forgotten movies of the ’80s: EAT AND RUN, the 1986 sci-fi horror-comedy about a 400-pound alien named Murray who develops an appetite for the residents of Little Italy.

    Yes. This movie actually exists.

    Detective Mickey McSorely is trying to convince everyone that a giant alien is literally eating New Yorkers while Murray gets arrested, wins a court case, gets released on bail, dates a judge, and continues his culinary tour of Little Italy. Somehow, Mickey eventually winds up in more legal trouble than the extraterrestrial cannibal.

    We get into the movie’s bizarre history, its New World Pictures connection, Ron Silver playing the whole thing surprisingly straight, Pat “R. L.” Ryan’s connection to Street Trash, the off-screen kills, the Pavarotti gag, and why an 85-minute movie this insane still managed to lose Johnny before the final act.

     HOME VIDEO HEADLINES: Nick Nolte and Milo Gibson head into full-moon horror territory with Vested, Mikayla Matthews explains her exit from Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, and Johnny takes a detour through Utah involving Yellowstone locations, questionable steak sides, and the Blue Sapphire.

     We also preview The Musical, the dark comedy starring Will Brill, Gillian Jacobs and Rob Lowe that sounds suspiciously like somebody stole a movie idea directly out of Johnny Spoiler’s brain.

     STAFF PICK: Music and Lyrics — Hugh Grant, Drew Barrymore, fake ’80s pop music, and songs catchy enough to make you wonder why more fake movie bands don't release real albums.

    Ali G Is BACK?! Sacha Baron Cohen Returns + We Watched the Weirdest Frog Movie Ever

    ALI G IS BACK. Booyakasha!

    Sacha Baron Cohen is officially bringing Ali G back to the big screen in Ali G: Who Iz I? — a new secretly filmed mockumentary arriving in theaters October 23, 2026. But more than 20 years after Ali G became a pop-culture phenomenon, there’s a much bigger question:

    Can Ali G still work in 2026?

    Johnny Spoiler breaks down the Ali G comeback, what we know about Sacha Baron Cohen’s new movie, the return of his undercover mockumentary style, and the growing debate over whether Ali G remains brilliant satire or a character whose comedy belongs to another era.

    Then somehow things get even stranger.

     HELL COMES TO FROGTOWN

    “Rowdy” Roddy Piper plays one of the last fertile men alive after nuclear war destroys civilization. His mission? Enter a city controlled by mutant frog people, rescue fertile women and help save the human race.

    Oh, and the government straps an EXPLOSIVE CODPIECE to him to make sure he cooperates.

    Welcome to Hell Comes to Frogtown.

    Johnny revisits the insane 1988 cult sci-fi comedy, its incredible practical frog makeup, bizarre production history, reduced budget, abandoned casting possibilities and the sequels somebody apparently decided the world needed.

    BINGE NOW, BINGE LATER OR BINGE NEVER?

    Dangerous Dave has been trying to get Johnny to watch Hell Comes to Frogtown for roughly 20 YEARS.

    The verdict?

     BINGE LATER.

    PLUS:

     Hulu September Streaming Update — Jennifer’s Body, Coraline, ParaNorman, Inglourious Basterds, Moneyball, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 and more hit streaming.

     They're making a Hooters movie. Yes. A movie about the origin of Hooters. Hollywood has officially found the next cinematic universe.

     21 Jump Street vs. 22 Jump Street — why Johnny thinks the first movie is still better, why Johnny Depp returning as Tom Hanson matters, and why Jillian Bell almost walks away with the entire sequel.

    THE RETURN OF SWAMP THING Is Better Than the Original?! | Johnny Spoiler Revisits The Swamp Thing

    JOHNNY DRINKS JOLT MODERN SODA https://tr.ee/JoltCreamSodaBW

    Johnny Spoiler dives into the swamp for a full Swamp Thing retrospective, revisiting Wes Craven’s 1982 cult classic, The Return of Swamp Thing, the 1990s TV series, and even the bizarre animated series. Johnny asks the ultimate question:

     Did these movies actually hold up, or did we just outgrow them? Plus, Johnny breaks down the latest RoboCop casting news, the wild new Jason Voorhees x PBR Halloween collaboration, and the movie legacy of the legendary Dolly Parton.

    Then it’s time for Fan Service, where Johnny tackles the debate over whether Johnny Depp will ultimately be remembered more for 21 Jump Street or Captain Jack Sparrow.

    And for Staff Picks, Johnny checks out Idiots (2026), the dark and chaotic new comedy starring Dave Franco, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Mason Thames, Peter Dinklage, Kiernan Shipka, and Nicholas Braun.

    It’s horror, superheroes, cult movies, nostalgia, and plenty of Johnny Spoiler opinions—all in one episode.

    Johnny Spoiler Horror Movie Reaction: Fingers (2019) — Hidden Gem or Horror Movie Never?

    Johnny Spoiler is back with another horror movie reaction, and this time we're diving into Fingers (2019), a bizarre indie horror movie where a woman begins experiencing a disturbing reaction to her own body while spiraling into a full-blown nervous breakdown as masked men terrorize her coworker. Is this a forgotten horror gem—or one movie Johnny wishes he never watched?

    Plus, Johnny Spoiler breaks down the latest movie and TV news, including Jerry Bruckheimer revealing that conversations have taken place with Johnny Depp about returning as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates 6, with Margot Robbie still rumored to be involved.

    And what's happening with the reported Return of the Living Dead sequel? One report says the movie is headed for a November release during the Christmas season, fitting its holiday setting and direct-sequel story. Another report says the project isn't moving forward at all. So… who's right?

    Then it's time for Binge Now, Later, or Never with Fingers, followed by Scream Now, Scream Later, or Scream Never as part of Johnny Spoiler's Summer Slasher Movie Marathon. Spoiler alert: Fingers gets a Scream Never. Johnny was hoping for a hidden indie horror gem, but instead found a movie that felt unnecessary to watch.

    We also have another great GRUV Blu-ray deal, plus news about the upcoming ultimate He-Man and She-Ra collection featuring all 130 episodes of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, all 93 episodes of She-Ra: Princess of Power, and The Secret of the Sword. Check the show notes for the GRUV link and get 15% off when you sign up for the GRUV newsletter.  https://tr.ee/GRUVBW

    Finally, Johnny Spoiler's Staff Pick is Night Patrol (2026), where rival gangs join forces to battle a task force of vampire cops. Starring Jermaine Fowler, Justin Long, CM Punk, Dermot Mulroney, and RJ Cyler, the movie mixes gang warfare, vampire mythology, and Zulu supernatural lore. One gang's bizarre collection of supernatural knowledge and monster theories makes this a surprisingly entertaining ride—and according to Johnny, it was actually better than this week's movie of the week!

    Eric Roberts vs. Lance Henriksen! | The Nature of the Beast Horror Movie Reaction

    Looking for a fun way to get everyone off the couch? QR Hunter turns your phone into a build-your-own scavenger hunt where you create clues, hide QR codes, and send friends and family racing to the finish. https://tr.ee/QRHunterBW

    And honestly, that's part of what makes this movie so interesting. Eric Roberts gets to play against expectations while Lance Henriksen — usually the guy you expect to be lurking in the shadows — is strangely subdued and ordinary. The casting alone makes you question everything.

    Johnny Spoiler gets into the movie's desert atmosphere, Dusty's relentless button-pushing, the bizarre blackmail setup, the buried-alive sequence, the infamous neck injection, Brian James' wasted cameo, and an ending that left Johnny wondering why the hell he spent his time getting there in the first place.

    Plus, we've got Home Video Headlines, including the new werewolf horror comedy Howl from Kumail Nanjiani, Lionsgate's upcoming Leprechaun movie, and Mel Gibson talking about the long-awaited Lethal Weapon 5.

    Try MEATZY https://tr.ee/GetMeatzyJohnny

    This episode starts with the latest Home Video Headlines, including Ben Stiller teaming with Mike Judge for Protective Custody on Apple TV+, Pierce Brosnan starring as a legendary werewolf hunter in Wolfland (directed by his son Sean Brosnan), and the latest details on Terrifier 4, which promises Art the Clown's origin story, a New Year's Eve setting, and a final showdown in Hell.

    Tonight's featured horror movie reaction is Brain Dead (1990)—not the Peter Jackson zombie classic, but the psychological sci-fi horror thriller starring Bill Pullman and Bill Paxton. A brilliant neurosurgeon discovers the corporation funding his experiments may also be manipulating his mind. Johnny discusses the film's paranoia, conspiracy themes, and why it's an overlooked cult favorite.

    The conversation also celebrates the incredible careers of Bill Paxton (Aliens, Near Dark, Twister, Tombstone, Club Dread, Weird Science, Predator 2, and The Vagrant) and Bill Pullman (Lake Placid, Independence Day, While You Were Sleeping, The Sinner, and Spaceballs).

    Adam asks about Jabberwocky (1977), leading to a discussion of Terry Gilliam and favorites like Time Bandits and The Fisher King.

    Johnny also shares his reactions to Spider-Man: Brand New Day, discussing its darker tone, crowded roster of villains, the surprising appearance of Jean Grey, Punisher's team-up, Hulk fan service, and where it ranks among the Spider-Man films. Johnny's all-time favorites remain:

    • Spider-Man 2 (Tobey Maguire)

    • Spider-Man: Far From Home

    • Spider-Man (2002)

    Plus, a nostalgic look back at classic Spider-Man animation, including Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, the 1990s animated series, the live-action 1970s show, and the wildly entertaining Japanese Spider-Man series.
