V/H/S MIXTAPE MOVIE REVIEW
Shudder has got you covered for this season’s spooky screenings with the ninth segment of the popular anthology series V/H/S with V/H/S/Mixtape. The narrative that connects the horror shorts this time around is the heavy metal shock rock and roll band GWAR. The band have their own bizarrely disgusting wraparound narrative, but also they put in the prerequisite V/H/S tapes to show the shorts. “Dance, Dance, Dance, Dance” by Renee Zahn is about an old puppeteer who is tasked for a reboot of his original show by an executive who wants digital puppets instead of felt and the puppets don’t like that. “Another Cabin” by Flying Lotus is a stop-motion animated sequence about a boy and his grandmother visited by a titanic horror. “Heartbeat” by David Moreau tells the tale of YouTube influencers who find themselves trapped in an old military facility that experimented with sound and the lack of it. “The Music of Mr. Sze” by Ernest Dickerson shows a college student who’s obsessed with his neighbors’ totally cosmic music. “Premature Burial” is a gory music video by Tobias Forge for the band Repugnant. We close with “Death Tone” by RZA about a sound technician searching for the perfect harmony. Bradly, Mike, and Caroline dig up the past and compare it to its future parts. While Mike and Caroline handle GWAR in all their shocking dark humour, old man Bradly clearly does not have the stomach for their sound.

YOUR REVIEWERS
Bradly Martin (Screener Squad Boss, Eye on the Prize, Breakfast Pub)
Bradly Martin was born in the united states and grew up on a healthy diet of sports, films, and books. A rather shy lad who kept to himself, Bradly soon discovered the best way to know a person was to know what people liked. Throughout the years Bradly became a fan of many things and a fanatic of none. From Doctor Dre, to Doctor Strange and the who’s who of Whos. From Playstation to the Dreamcast and Marvel to DC. From LeBron James to James Bond and Lord of the Rings to Lord Palmerston (or Pitt the Elder if you agree with Wade Boggs) and is a huge fan of dad jokes and randomly obscure Simpsons references. Armed with a vast knowledge of comics, films, and pop culture. Bradly traveled the world making friends and sharing takes. As a young man Bradly married the love of his life young and grew older every year with each new child brought into the brood. If trends continue, Scientists predict that .2% of Canada (where Bradly and family reside) will be populated by Bradly’s children by the year 2029. You can hear him leading and listening to his favorite critics on the Screener Squad and maybe even providing some comments of his own.
Mike J. McAllister (Screener Squad, Staff Writer, Head Video Editor)
Mike J. McAllister is an award-winning creative jack of all trades, and is pretty competent with most of them. He is a writer, director, animator, video editor, and motion graphics artist. He has tried his hand at nearly every form of artistic expression at least once. He was born and raised in Western Pennsylvania where he fell in love with film, writing and special effects at an early age. His obsession with film would lead him to being locally known as a “human IMDb” and being on a first-name basis with every video store clerk in town. He would study film in Pittsburgh before taking his talents to Austin. Not letting something like Tourettes get in his way, he has produced a handful of animated short films that have won awards from film festivals all over the globe. He has also written several yet-to-be-produced screenplays and TV pilots, with some of them being recognized in screenwriting competitions. He has even created motion graphics and animations for several clients, from movie theaters to Twitch streamers. When not creating or watching films, he enjoys MST3K, classic video games and buying vinyl records. He loves dogs, dropping obscure pop culture trivia and watching travel videos. He currently resides in Austin Texas and can be followed on the Instamagrams at @ohheyitsmikejm. His body of work can be found at his homepage or you can take a gander at his somewhat-impressive IMDb listing here.
Caroline Sulek (Screener Squad, Trash in the Can)
Caroline Sulek resides in Mckinney, TX with her son Henry and two cats: Sally and Rocky. As a mom, corporate baddie, and unabashed lover of all things silly, spooky, and creative, she brings a unique perspective to the One of Us network. Her love of art and movies started long ago when she and her brother, Wright, would spend entire summer vacations in front of the TV and she would draw portraits of Wright as he sat watching for hours. Caroline has been a frequent guest and fan favorite of the Trash in the Can podcast with her brother, Wright, and his life podcast partner, Eric Samaniego. Caroline enjoys the most gruesome of horror movies and the most bingeable of reality shows and anywhere in between!
