Hit the highway for one of the greatest hidden gems in horror history as Johnny Spoiler takes a spoiler-filled ride through Richard Franklin's Roadgames (1981)—the Australian cult classic that asks: What if Alfred Hitchcock made a slasher on the open road?

This week, Johnny breaks down why Roadgames deserves a place alongside The Hitcher, Joy Ride, and Breakdown, explores its reputation as one of the defining films of the Ozploitation era, and reveals the behind-the-scenes stories that make this thriller legendary—including Stacy Keach learning to drive a 16-gear semi in just two days, the Sean Connery casting that almost happened, and why Quid's dingo had to be renamed Boswell.

• Danny McBride's gritty new G.I. Joe movie heads to Springfield... but not the Springfield you expect.

• Remembering the legendary Sam Neill with a look back at Possession, Jurassic Park, Event Horizon, Merlin, and Bicentennial Man.

• Sydney Sweeney saddles up for Hollow, a gothic reimagining of Sleepy Hollow, plus three must-watch Sweeney films.

• Why Roadgames is basically Rear Window on Wheels.

• Jamie Lee Curtis as the mysterious hitchhiker "Hitch."

• How this overlooked thriller inspired The Hitcher, Joy Ride, Wolf Creek, and modern highway horror.

• Hitchcock references, Ozploitation history, and the terrifying green van that haunted a generation of genre fans.

Johnny answers your questions about A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge, dives into why it's become one of horror's most fascinating cult classics, and shares behind-the-scenes trivia from The Dream Master.

Before Workaholics became a Comedy Central hit, it was a broke YouTube sketch group called Mail Order Comedy. Johnny tells the unbelievable story of how Blake, Adam, Anders, and Kyle turned homemade videos into one of TV's funniest comedies.

 Rating: SCREAM NOW!

Next week, Summer Slash continues with Brain Dead (1990) starring Bill Pullman and Bill Paxton—a mind-bending psychological horror trip into corporate conspiracies, neurosurgery, and insanity.

It's another Horror Movie Reaction as Summer Slash 8 continues with the gloriously bizarre cult classic Blue Monkey (1987)—the Canadian creature feature that somehow contains zero monkeys and one giant mutant insect terrorizing a quarantined hospital.

Johnny Spoiler breaks down what works, what doesn't, the surprisingly creative creature effects, the misleading title, and whether this forgotten B-movie deserves a second chance... or should stay quarantined forever.

Also in this episode:

 Resident Evil is getting another reboot that's finally embracing survival horror.

 Lily James stars in Seasons, a creepy new horror film based on the viral Reddit story about a haunted ranch with terrifying seasonal rituals.

 Dario Argento returns with what could be the bloodiest movie of his legendary career. We revisit horror classics like Suspiria, Deep Red, and Demons.

 Plus, Johnny shares his thoughts on Good Fortune starring Keanu Reeves, compares his lovable rookie angel to Nicolas Cage's unforgettable performance in City of Angels, and explains why one angel wants to become human while the other has no idea how humans actually work.

And before all of that, Johnny opens with a personal reflection on the famous phrase "The Show Must Go On"—from its circus origins to Freddie Mercury's legendary final recordings—and why that motto still matters today.

This Episode

Johnny Spoiler takes a trip back to 1990 for FEAR, a forgotten supernatural thriller starring Ally Sheedy as Cayce Bridges, a psychic investigator who helps police solve murders by experiencing visions through the minds of killers. Her latest case becomes terrifying when she discovers a murderer with the same abilities—and he wants her to experience every ounce of fear his victims feel.

In this horror movie reaction and review, Johnny Spoiler breaks down the psychic-versus-psychic showdown, the creepy performance by Pruitt Taylor Vince as the Shadow Man, the bizarre Detective Eyepatch character, the film's connections to CIA remote-viewing experiments, and why this obscure Showtime thriller deserves another look from horror fans.

Also on this episode:

 Hugh Jackman teams with Ridley Scott for a new adaptation of Treasure Island.

 Brad Pitt and a loyal military dog fight for survival in Heart of the Beast—and yes, the dog survives.

 Rose of Nevada brings haunting maritime time-travel horror to the Cornish coast with one of the most unique visual styles you'll see all year.

Is FEAR a hidden gem or a forgotten relic of early '90s horror?

Johnny Spoiler gives his verdict: Binge Later.

Next week, Summer Slash 8 continues with I Bought a Vampire Motorcycle (1990), the cult horror comedy where a possessed motorcycle develops a taste for blood and revenge.

Johnny Spoiler sails straight into chaos with a deep dive into Sinbad of the Seven Seas (1989)—the gloriously messy cult fantasy starring Lou Ferrigno. But first… we’ve got a problem: why is an AI-generated song telling us to “celebrate me”… and why is everyone listening?

In this episode, Johnny breaks down the viral “celebrate me” trend, calls out participation-trophy energy in internet culture, and asks the real question: what are we actually celebrating?

Then it’s Home Video Headlines—covering the upcoming ultra-violent Western The Brigands of Rattlecreek from Park Chan-wook, the neon-drenched reboot Miami Vice ’85 starring Austin Butler and Michael B. Jordan, and the newly announced Possession remake from Smile director Parker Finn.

 Movie of the Week: Sinbad of the Seven Seas (1989)
A sword-and-sorcery fever dream featuring ghost warriors, slime demons, lightning cages, and a fully oiled-up Lou Ferrigno in purple pantaloons. Johnny breaks down the wild production history, the “so bad it’s good” energy, and why this movie earns a surprise Binge Now rating.

 Favorite Bits:

• Edgar Allan Poe… wrote a Sinbad story??
• Viking + Samurai + Dwarf squad goals
• Magic that feels like ancient tech
• Mirror clone boss fight insanity
• That completely unnecessary bedtime story framing device

 Fan Service: Johnny responds to TikTok logic warriors who don’t watch past 3 seconds—and yes, we’re talking Joker discourse again.

 Staff Pick: Dave Season 3 and the chaotic “Friends Keep Secrets” podcast—fame, ego, and finding something real in the noise.

 Johnny Spoiler Stamp of Approval: Jolt Cream Soda is back—zero sugar, nootropics, and just enough kick to power your next bad movie binge.

 Plus: Halfway to Halloween is coming… and the fantasy run continues with Deathstalker, Gallowwalkers, and Silent Rage.

Johnny Spoiler got invited to a big movie premiere… last minute… in the desert… with no plus one. What could possibly go wrong? Anxiety? Check. Suspicious dating-app logistics? Check. Potential “this sounds like a true crime documentary” vibes? DOUBLE check.

This week, we’re riding straight into chaos with Gallowwalkers—Wesley Snipes’ cursed drifter epic that feels like Blade wandered into a Sergio Leone fever dream. Undead showdowns, vampire energy, samurai vibes, and one seriously haunted production story (yes, including Snipes’ real-life legal drama mid-shoot).

PLUS:

• Return of the Living Dead sequel (NOT a remake )

• Avatar: The Last Airbender movie leak drama

• Nicolas Cage back in Lords of War

• “4 Kids Walk Into a Bank” might be the wildest premise of 2026

Johnny breaks it all down with that signature sarcastic, film-nerd chaos:Is Gallowwalkers a hidden gem… or a cursed relic? (Hint: Binge Later, partner.)

Fan shoutouts, cult movie love, and a staff pick that involves Zac Efron, Craigslist dates, and absolute wedding destruction.

Johnny Spoiler verdict:“Tastes like a beach episode. Plays like a haunted spaghetti western.”
