NEW YORK, NY — March 27, 2026 — Lock your doors, hide your batteries, and prepare for a total breakdown of sibling civility. Mike and Joel, the bickering brains behind the I Don’t Give A Sht What You Think Podcast*, have officially entered the dark woods of cinema history to settle the ultimate score: Who is the true King of the Slashers?
In their latest electrifying episode, the brothers take a chainsaw to the 1970s and 80s, dissecting the blood-soaked icons that defined a generation. From the “claustrophobic nightmare” of Texas to the neon-lit dreamscapes of Elm Street, no mask is left unturned and no feelings are spared.
The Battle Report from the Basement:

- The “Bear” Truth: Joel hails the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre as an “oppressive masterpiece,” while Mike—in a move that nearly ended the episode—calls the 1974 classic “slow and boring.”
- The Synth-Slasher Showdown: The brothers find rare common ground on John Carpenter’s Halloween, agreeing that the music is the true star—though they remain hopelessly divided on whether Dr. Loomis was a medical professional or just a “bug-eyed lunatic.”
- Mall Rats & Blue Zombies: A deep dive into Dawn of the Dead reveals a shared love for Tom Savini’s practical gore, despite Mike’s passionate hatred for the “smurf-blue” makeup on the undead.
- The Chucky Conundrum: In a shocking twist, both brothers admit that while the 1988 Child’s Play film might be showing its age, the modern TV series is actually “better than the movies.”
“We ostensibly came here to find common ground,” says Joel during a particularly heated exchange about Friday the 13th. “But as usual, it ended in a total breakdown of civility and a lot of shouting. It’s de rigueur for us.”
Whether you’re a die-hard “Slasher” scholar or just someone who enjoys watching two brothers argue about the religious affiliation of Michael Myers, this episode is a “can’t-miss masterpiece” of podcasting carnage.
