binge-watchers podcast!!!
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!
