Episode 56 - Turkey Day 2023

Discover the Horror

The Sting of Death (1966), APE (1976), and Brutal Sorcery (1983)

It's November, so that must mean it's Turkey Time! Yes, that's right, for the last 20 years, Jon has been holding his Turkey Day Marathon Event, where we spend Black Friday delving into some of the strangest, weirdest, cheesiest, but always entertaining films. The ones most would call bad, we call them Turkeys! Damien started holding his own Turkey Day events 12 years ago, and this year, Aaron is starting his own! So why don't you?!?!

What we call a Turkey is just a film that doesn't play by conventional standards. It may not have a budget, any real talent behind or in front of the camera, but they have passion, and are doing their best to make a good film. They just missed the mark here and there. But they are always entertaining and fun to watch. Especially if you are with other crazy, like-minded cinephiles!

Take a listen to this episode to learn more about what Turkey Day is, as well as hearing our thoughts on three new titles we're covering this time around. Each one would be perfect for your own Turkey Day Marathon!
