Sunday Dec 20, 2020
Bret and Shira welcome a very special ghoulfriend to the podcast: Wright Sulek. Wright knows a thing or two about changing a horror into a rom com because he already did it with Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan. As he and Bret, a fellow fan of the series, horrorsplain Jason tropes for the newbie, Shira has lots of questions. For example, is Jason the most well traveled serial killer? Could Tom Hardy play Jason in the rom com version? Listen and find out.

Part 1 of 2. Shira has something to confess. She has a big crush on stories about unrequited love. Bret may not be equally enamored with the topic but he recognizes a nice theme that's been there all along. The necromancers begin with The Apartment, a rom com about a guy who is a professional at pining but an amateur at life. The pair then follow up with their horror versions of the classic. But will you have the courage to really tell us how you feel about them?

Sunday Nov 15, 2020
Part 2 of 2. Bret and Shira finish their tour of South Korea with I Saw the Devil. Bret's horror movie pick this week is by far the most brutal, soul crushing, and bleak movie the necromancers have reviewed for the podcast so far. It also proves that Koreans really know how to screw up your mind and look really cool doing it at the same time. Can such a dark film ever make for a heartwarming rom com remake? Hell yes it can!

Sunday Nov 08, 2020
Part 1 of 2. Bret and Shira head to South Korea to learn what's spicier: kimchi or a lover's grief. Whether it's romance or horror, Koreans don't do anything halfway. Up first is the indomitable My Sassy Girl, a rom com about a lady you romance at your own peril. Remixing this one was a blast. Stay tuned for Bret's pick, I Saw the Devil, next week.
