·54 min·5 clips

Dom and J.D. reveal their top five surreal horror movies, starting with a controversial pick that breaks reality.

The episode begins with hosts Dom and J.D. introducing their top five surreal horror movie list, which is Dom's specialty. They mention being inspired by a screener of 'I Need You Dead' sent by Rocco Zevenbergen. The show includes segments like horror news, where they discuss David Cronenberg's upcoming film 'Crimes of the Future' starring Viggo Mortensen and Kristen Stewart, and 'The Zombie King' with Edward Furlong. In Post-Pourri, they review 'I Need You Dead', praising its surreal deconstruction of the creative process and effective use of budgetary restrictions. For Nostalgia Killers, they re-watch 'Bram Stoker's Dracula', rating it based on acting, story, effects, and entertainment, with critiques of Keanu Reeves' accent and praise for Gary Oldman. The main segment features their top five surreal horror movies, including 'Funny Games' for its rewind scene, Jan Svankmajer's 'Faust' for its puppets, 'Blue Velvet' for its noir strangeness, 'Videodrome' for body horror, and 'In the Mouth of Madness' as John Carpenter's underrated reality-breaking film. They also list honorable mentions like 'Begotten', 'The Cell', and Lucifer Valentine's films. The episode concludes with plans for next week's topic on movies that scared them as kids.
