Kill By Kill: Talking Horror Characters One Death At A Time

By: We Write Good
  • Summary

  • In each episode, Patrick Hamilton and Gena Radcliffe unpack all the gory details of horror cinema's least discussed topic: the characters. From Friday the 13th to Nightmare on Elm Street and beyond, our mission is to detail each hack, slash, and decapitation in the hopes that a victim's untimely end is just the beginning of the jokes we can make about them.

  • The Terminator (40th Anniversary)
    Sep 27 2024

    In the Year of Darkness, 2024 - one podcast will be sent back to the past to discuss “ice cream scooping” waitresses to save humanity!! That’s right, pluck out those eyeballs and put in your earbuds as we open up shop on the James Cameron classic, THE TERMINATOR, for its 40th anniversary!! It’s a movie that’s probably been talked about by more people than any other film we’ve discussed on the show. Yet, so many mysteries remain, such as the source of Tech Noir’s citywide success and why Cyberdyne thought a robot with Arnold Schwarzenegger’s body type would fit in amongst starving human scavengers in the post-apocalypse? And those are hardly the only questions we’re asking here: what is the deal with Cameron’s obsession with extraneous limbs during sex scenes? At what point does the T-800 begin to stink so badly? Is this film the best representation of Bob’s Big Boy on film? All this, plus we wonder if “Dagwooding it” post-sex is something we can stomach, and we dine out on a jam-packed edition of Choose Your Deathventure!! The future may be unwritten, but don’t let this episode go undownloaded!!

  • Disturbing Behavior (w/ Harmony Colangelo)
    Sep 20 2024

    Distracted at school? Lashing out at home? The solution to your teen’s problems is just a ferry ride away in Cradle Bay, where one unregulated doctor and a gang of Blue Ribbons are standing by to shove a white-hot microchip into your eyeball!! That’s right, we’re talking X-Files grunge, Tarantino monologues, and 1998’s DISTURBING BEHAVIOR with writer and “This Ends At Prom” podcast co-host Harmony Colangelo!! Along the way, we delve into the tug-of-war between what the film wants to say and what the movie actually says about teen angst and rebellion, the competing sci-fi teen scream flicks of 1998, discuss why parents just don’t understand, and why no one considered an intolerance to horny thoughts to a be a behavior-modification dealbreaker during R&D!! Listen today… it’s RAZOR!!

  • Friday the 13th Theatrical Poster Draft (w/ Clay Keller & Graham Skipper)
    Sep 13 2024

    You were warned. You are doomed. You are in for a Friday the 13th treat!! That’s right, we’re celebrating the luckiest of unlucky days with something we’ve never tried before: a theatrical poster draft of the entire Friday the 13th franchise with two overly qualified guests - from the Screen Drafts podcast, it’s Returning Champion Clay Keller; and in his KBK debut, actor/director/horror legend Graham Skipper!! Join us as we debate and rank from worst to first the artwork that defined the franchise’s 12 entries and discuss such heated topics as poop worms, poor taglines, Xenomorph whispering, knife reflection nudes, wooden title treatments, and reminding everyone which movie has a sequence filmed in Corey Feldman’s backyard!! Which poster will make it to the top and what will be left? You’ll have to listen to know for yourself!!

    Listen to Screen Drafts here!!

Have you considered my hilarity?!

I have found Patrick and Gena at the height of the pandemic and I was mad that my friends told me nothing about this podcast. I look forward to every Friday to listen these two dissect my beloved B to Z horror movies in a tone that is not pretentious. In a world that is not all that fun and a pop culture subset that sucks joy out of things, I appreciate what Patrick and Gena do every week.

Can you marry a podcast?

Kill By Kill is funny, insightful, heartfelt and - most importantly - done with love and the appropriate amount of reverence for the subject matter. Patrick and Gena know and love horror (if not every specific movie) and bring on guests who are just as fun, smart and attractive. If I could marry a podcast, I would marry this one. Unfortunately, I cannot, so I will continue living in sin with Kill By Kill.
