Found on Shelf

This Halloween, Found on Shelf ventures into the woods with returning guest Bitter Karella, author of Moonflow and the new queer folk horror novel Quaint Folk, to tackle the cult horror-comedy There's Nothing Out There (1991)! Before Scream made self-aware horror cool, director Rolf Kanefsky unleashed a low-budget creature feature about horny teenagers, a murderous alien frog, and one insufferable horror nerd who knows every scary movie cliché but somehow remains completely useless. What follo

Got Resident Evil fever? Take a wrong turn into Silent Hill. This week on Found on Shelf, guest host Casey joins the crew for “Hobo-MurderMaxxing,” a spoiler-filled Return to Silent Hill review featuring an intervention for Gimcrack, an exorcism that backfires, and some deeply questionable attempts to help a friend. With Zach Cregger’s new Resident Evil movie feeding our appetite for survival horror, we’re digging into another video game adaptation—and asking how Christophe Gans’ return measure

The Jackalope is back—and apparently therapy has taught them absolutely nothing. This week on Found on Shelf, Specc joins us for Dragonheart: Vengeance, the fifth movie in the Dragonheart franchise and the 2020 direct-to-video fantasy sequel nobody realized they were missing. A young man sets out to avenge his murdered family with the help of a mysterious sellsword and Siveth, an ice-breathing dragon voiced by Helena Bonham Carter. Sounds straightforward. Unfortunately, Siveth is also a vegeta

This week on Found on Shelf, we revisit the 2008 vampire romance starring Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson and ask the important questions: Is Edward Cullen romantic or just an extremely sparkly stalker? Why do immortal vampires keep going back to high school? Where is the actual downside to being a Twilight vampire? And exactly how cold is Edward’s pee pee? Kalynn brings years of T

Patrick promised Gabe they could watch a Dragon Ball movie. Unfortunately, Dustin picked the Dragon Ball movie. This week, Found on Shelf tackles Dragon Ball: The Magic Begins, the bizarre 1991 live-action adaptation that somehow manages to be a cheap knockoff, a surprisingly competent martial-arts movie, and occasionally a better Dragon Ball adaptation than Dragon Ball Evolution. Joining us is returning guest Gabe, who attempts to explain actual Dragon Ball lore while Dustin meets Monkey Boy

Patrick is back from the dead, Dustin is skipping through time, and somehow the safest thing inside the cursed video store is the sushi. In “We’re Just Bad People,” Found on Shelf takes on Dead Sushi, Noboru Iguchi’s gloriously unhinged Japanese horror-comedy featuring flying killer sushi, martial arts, zombie rice, sushi nunchucks, an acid-spitting egg sushi named Eggy, and a tuna-headed revenge monster commanding a floating sushi battleship. Along the way, we discuss questionable Grogu produ
