  • Shallow Ground
    May 10 2026

    Hi! We are Dirt Dogs and we are SHALLOW, and also GROUNDed. Which is great news, as this week’s Gem Hunt selection is a lil’ ripper from 2004 that goes by the name of Shallow Ground. It’s mostly about a very bloody nude boy and some dumb cops (I guess?). Join us as we dive on in- but watch out- this ground is hella shallow! How can GROUND even BE shallow, dear listener? Tune in to find out.

  • The Killer Nun
    Apr 26 2026

    Welcome back to Gemhunt! What are we watching this week? Well, it’s nun-ya business. Just kidding, this week we’re discussing The Killer Nun (1979), an infamous nunsplotation film loosely based on a true story. What is up with us and nuns? Are we being indoctrinated by Catholicism? Maybe we’re slowly but surely turning into a religious, Catholic-leaning family. Tune in and find out.

  • The Righteous (2021)
    Apr 12 2026

    The Dirt Dog fam got all Catholic-y on this week’s episode, talking about the relatively new Canadian film, The Rightgeous (2021), from first-time writer / director Mark O’Brien. The fact that we recorded on Easter (a holiday we do not care about) was a complete accident. Turns out all three of us are quite dumb when it comes to Catholicism, and religion and general.. But we give it the old college try. Stick around for a special time segment about horror mockumentaries.

  • Meet the Applegates
    Mar 15 2026

    The dirt dog fam veers way off the beaten path and back into comedy territory with this week’s selection: the 1990 cult film Meet the Applegates, directed by Michael Lehmann, who also brought you the classic dark comedy Heathers. Grab your high school text book, flip to the satire section, and get ready to ridicule suburban consumerism. We also bring back the obligatory “is this a horror film?” game. Yay America!

  • Baby Blood
    Mar 1 2026

    We’re slithering toward spring, and what better way to prepare for the change of seasons than by screening a good ol’ pregnancy-horror film featuring a primordial psychic fetus and loads of blood. Join the Dirt Dog family for a discussion of Alain Robak’s 1990 French gore-fest Baby Blood. Believe or not, there are a lot of god damn horror films about pregnancy out there. We talk about that, and other things too, like The Chair Company and Twin Peaks.. Check it out y’all.
