Jay welcomes the esteemed hosts of The Wat-Zee Party Horror Show (of the Horrorphilia Network), Mister Watson and Dave Zee, the latter also being a host on the Exploding Heads Horror Podcast. Jay invited Mister Watson and Dave Zee to join him for a Feature Review of a bizarre, Evil Kid Movie, Beware: Children at Play (1989), which is a Troma production, no less.

  1. To all the Listeners of Considering the Cinema. If you are a Horror fan, give The Wat-Zee Party Horror Show and Exploding Heads Horror Movie Podcast a chance. What you heard on this episode is just barely a taste of these 2 guests’ capacity.

    I recommend to start:
    -“The Wat-Zee Party Horror Show” Episode 1: They do a deeeeeep breakdown and intelligent discussion of Suspiria (2018). In my opinion the best review/discussion of this film out there. Every other episode they do is amazing, too. They also discuss other Horror Topics like: Horror Remakes, Political Agendas in Horror, Today’s Teenage Horror Fans.

    -“Exploding Heads Horror Movie Podcast” Episode 11: They review The Invitation (2015). I disliked this movie, but their review made me want to give it another chance, and it is now one of my favorites of the decade.
    -“Exploding Heads Horror Movie Podcast” Episode 15: They review the entire Sleepaway Camp Franchise.
    -“Exploding Heads Horror Movie Podcast” Episode 17: They do an amazing in depth review of The Blackcoat’s Daughter, which made my love for the movie grow to the point it became my #1 of the 2010s decade.

    • You guys are the best! Thanks so much for your kind words! I FINALLY got to hear this show (because I don’t typically listen to shows on which I appear), but man… this was a podcasting highlight for me. 🙂
