The Not-So-Monday Monday Energy: A Binge-Watchers' Tale

You ever get that big Monday energy... but it’s not even Monday? At Binge-Watchers Podcast, we get it. We record on Monday nights, so we're constantly surrounded by that serpentine Monday vibe. You know, the kind that slithers into your week, ready to strike with all its chaotic energy. But here's the kicker: today’s not Monday, and yet, that rattler is still hanging around.

Is it just me, or does Monday feel like it’s always lurking in the bushes, even when it’s nowhere on the calendar? Maybe it's that sneaky "Monday but not Monday" feeling that gets us all riled up, making us think of Mondays like they're the villain in a horror flick—always popping up when you least expect it.

But don't worry, this isn’t the Monday show. I’m Johnny Spoiler, your guide to all things movies, especially the ones I love to spoil. And today, while I might be fighting off those Monday vibes, we’re diving into something a little more… unholy.

Speaking of unholy thoughts (and Monday stresses), have you ever tried eating a can of tuna to chill out? I did, and let me tell you, it worked like magic. But then I remembered this urban legend about a guy who supposedly got boiled alive at a tuna factory and ended up in cans. Now, I’m not saying it happened to my can, but it did make me wonder—was it the tuna or the potential cannibal vibes that made me feel better? Now there's a thought to chew on.

And speaking of chewing, did you know Arnie Hammer got in trouble for some pretty wild cannibalistic thoughts? Yeah, it’s a strange world we live in, folks.

But let’s get back on track here. We’ve got some home video headlines to dive into, like the unfortunate passing of Sid Vicious. Not the punk icon, but the legendary wrestler. If you haven’t seen his old clips from Monday Night Nitro, do yourself a favor and go look them up. They’re pure, nostalgic gold.

Oh, and if you’re in the mood for some classic horror, Shaun of the Dead is celebrating its 20th anniversary. Grab your mates and head to the theaters for some good old-fashioned zombie fun. It’s the perfect way to shake off that not-Monday-but-feels-like-Monday energy.

Now, let’s talk about tonight’s featured flick: The Unholy (1988). It’s a gooey, demon-filled horror gem that’s as hard to find as a stress-free Monday morning. Picture this: sinners getting gobbled up by a demon while Father Michael tries to clean up the mess. Spoiler alert: the demon goes back to hell, but not before causing some serious havoc.

So, if you’re up for a hunt, track down this movie. It’s a classic in the realm of religious horror, right up there with The Exorcist and Prince of Darkness. And if you’re lucky enough to find it, it’s definitely a binge-now situation.

Before we wrap up, a quick shout-out to our new favorite drink, Olipop’s Ridge Rush. It’s like sipping on a Mountain Dew, but without all the guilt. We’re talking about a smooth ride of flavors with a kick of caffeine from green tea. And if you’re into it, there’s a link to get 15% off your first order. Because hey, who doesn’t love a good deal?

So, that’s it for tonight. Whether you’re fighting off those sneaky Monday vibes or just looking for a good scare, we’ve got you covered. And remember, if you ever find yourself stressing out on a not-Monday, just grab a can of tuna... or maybe don’t.
