Today’s film is Strait-Jacket (1964), where Joan Crawford swings axes, radiates vengeance like it’s a fine perfume, and chews scenery like it owes her money. It’s a William Castle special: part murder mystery, part melodrama, and part unhinged theatrical showcase for one woman’s descent into either madness or impeccable dramatic timing. There are decapitations, gaslighting, and more awkward family energy than Thanksgiving dinner with a secret. It’s like Mommy Dearest took a detour through a haunted meat locker.

FILM RANKINGS UPDATED AFTER EVERY EPISODE!!!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Today’s film is Cockneys vs. Zombies (2012), the cinematic equivalent of someone yelling “Oi, you!” at the undead and then headbutting them with love. It’s a blood-soaked East End brawl featuring foul-mouthed millennials, a zombie siege on a retirement home, and the most heroic use of a walker since orthopedic devices were invented. Guns? Check. Bickering siblings? Check. An old man outrunning zombies on a mobility scooter? You bet. It’s heartfelt, hilarious, and just barely restrained in its chaos. It's like Snatch and Dawn of the Dead had a baby during a pub fight and raised it on gravy and swear words.

Breaking News Intro

Chapter Three of our Atomic Monsters and Mutations Deep Dive explores the threshold between global war and global paranoia—the uneasy years between 1945 and 1953, when horror began to shift from gothic castles and madmen to laboratories, testing sites, and Cold War nerves. With the bomb freshly dropped and the world suddenly aware of its own capacity for extinction, cinema entered a transitional phase, one haunted by fallout. Before the atomic age could unleash its giant bugs and radioactive beasts, it had to confront the dread of what science had already done—and what it might do next.
