The Final Guys Horror Show: 70s/80s Horror Cinema, the Vile and Depressing, & More!

Do you love 1970s and 80s horror cinema? Or maybe you enjoy soft porn horror films (yes, it’s totally a thing!) Hear me out for a minute, as a horror fanatic myself, I was shocked that I had never heard of the Final Guys YouTube channel, a podcast dedicated to all things horror (reviewing horror cinema, games, books, etc.) But here’s the thing, this isn’t just any podcast, these guys and gals are our fellow indie horror authors! Your amazing hosts are Hunter Shea, Jack Campisi, and Jason Brant with guests like Chad Lutzke, Laurel Hightower-Wells, and more! If you’re hearing the faint calling of crickets right now, do yourself a favor and go read some of these authors’ books. ASAP. Here’s the good news, Final Guys is LIVE on YT every Tuesday at 8pm ET. 

I’m going to do you a favor and highlight some of the best moments from last night’s Final Guys YT Live, which was my first, popping my cherry with horror soft porn (we’ll get to that in a bit.) Be prepared for drinking games, horror reviews, they got jokes, and amazing attendee chat! I’m going to break out of this paragraph format and dive into a list of highlights. Enjoy!

• Apparently Tubi is the shizznittle when it comes to horror cinema in the realms of experimental and 70s/80s horror.
• There was talk about Kevin Smith’s 2014 film Tusk, you’ll love it or hate it but it’s definitely so strange and disturbing everyone should give it a go.
• A new Friday the 13th is coming in 2023!!! It’s been 13 years (coincidence?) Chad Lutzke wishes for a found footage Jason film while Jason Brant hopes for a return to Camp Crystal Lake in winter because blood + snow = horrortasticness baby! 
• The meat of this podcast is horror cinema reviews from the 70s and 80s, new movies and even video games! Can I get a HELL YEAH! Below are links to all the films that were reviewed.
