Marcus Miller is a bad man. The newest cold-blooded (and I mean cold-blooded; this is guy is batshit crazy!) killer to hit the silver screen is the star of Matt Farnsworth’s violent new film The Orphan Killer. And he doesn’t fuck around.

As you’ll see by the trailer below, The Orphan Killer is a very Halloween-esque film. But if you’re going to model yourself after something, why not one of the most successful independent films of all time?

So what do we know about this new slasher, Marcus Miller? Just judging by the trailer, he’s really, really brutal. I would make the argument that he swings an axe with as much aggression and bad intentions as anyone I’ve ever seen (but I think that nun had it coming).

The Orphan Killer was written and directed by Matt Farnsworth (he also plays Mike in the film) and stars David Backus as Miller. Also featured are Diane Foster, James McCaffrey, John Savage and Karen Young. Check out The Orphan Killer Facebook page, which is currently pushing 100,000 Likes. You go, Marcus Miller!

Read on for upcoming screenings of The Orphan Killer at film festivals around the world.

Then we chat about The Brave Little Toaster and how it destroyed all four of our childhoods. Anthropomorphic appliances, self-cannibalism, religion...this movie has it all and we laugh our way through describing just how messed up it actually is.

Kim and Ket Stay Alive... Maybe

Ep. 348 Smile 2: “The Tale of Schmorgashbords, Part 2”

Ket tells Kim the rest of Smile 2. Listen, I sincerely hope that you have all put your fast pants on and haven’t borrowed any pants from either of Ket’s life partners, Kim OR Arik, because they only wear slow pants. We’ve also discovered something Kim should NOT include on her resUme and that’s “creepy smiling.” She’s too cute. Most importantly, we’ll learn if Kim will live or die in Smile 2.Writer/Dir.

Kim and Ket Stay Alive... Maybe

Ep. 347 Smile 2: “The Tale of Schmorgashbords, Part 1”

Ket tells Kim about the highly requested and truly terrifying Smile 2. This left Ketryn truly shooketh and gave The Substance a run for its money in grotesque-ness. It was simply a smorgasbord of gore and the first time in podcast history that Ket is the one who can’t quite say a word. Stay tuned for part 2 to find out what type of pants Kim needs for this one.Writer/Dir.
