Ah, the 1970s. You've given us so many movies to suffer through. What more could you offer?Turns out, the 1970s can offer us a bland movie about Rock Hudson using mad science to save a dog's life. Which is fine. Only he then decides to use the same science to create a total babe who wants to "learn" about "nookie." Oh, and the dog and the babe are both super cool with killing. Thanks, 1970s.And, yes, there's frontal nudity. Watch "Embryo" (1976) on Hindsight is Horrifying! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Bob Clark has given the world so much. He gave us "A Christmas Story" and defined the holiday movie. He gave us "Porky's" and defined the teenage sex comedy. He gave us "Baby Geniuses" and gave us diarrhea.  In "Black Christmas" he not only gave us the slasher film, but he also defined many of the tropes that would be used again and again for decades to come.The gang welcome their friend Adam Darby back to the studio to talk about the 1974 cut-em-up Christmas classic, "Black Christmas."

It's December! For some reason, that means we all have to watch Christmas movies. This appears to be a law, and the gang aren't taking any chances. Join them as they take their first obligatory trip down mandated festive joy."Fatman" is a movie that just doesn't know what it wants to be. Comedy? Action? Tarantino-esque killfest? No clue. All we know is that the gang sit down and watch Mel Gibson in "Fatman" (2020). See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It's obligatory holiday movie time with "Fatman" on Hindsight is Horrifying.

Ah, the public domain. Movies that live in the lawless land without copyright are perfect movies for riffing. In that spirit(!), the gang sit down and watch the 1962 Herk Harvey psychological horror film, "Carnival of Souls." See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It was Darth's turn to pick a movie this week, and she actually didn't use that power to inflict misery on Adam and Jason. Instead, the gang got to watch something of a hidden gem.

Today we end our malformed Halloween season with a look at Brian De Palma's trippy musical extravaganza, "Phantom of the Paradise."Before Andrew Lloyd Weber gave the world his lesser-known version of Leroux's famous novel, the bell-bottomed population of the 1970s was subjected to this prog/folk acid trip. The plot concerns a weird and disturbing composer who is maimed and turned into a weird and disturbing composer who wears a mask. Like Sia, only the music in this movie is better (it was written and largely sung by the legendary Paul Williams).Surprisingly, the movie ended up being rather good, and the discussion was even better.

Vibes is one of those forgotten 80s movie gems that deserves a second look. Not a third look though. Two will do. After all, we're talking about the first (and only) cinematic pairing of the great Jeff Goldblum and the irritating Cyndi Lauper. As psychics. Heck, it even earned a star from Roger Ebert. And that's exactly one star more than he gave Death Race 2000.Join the gang as they return to the greatest decade in movie history for the 1988 comedy, "Vibes."

The Big Hit: “Let’s go, baby! Let’s work!”Did you ever consider the hitman’s feelings when he kidnaps you? You will when you watch this trashtastic piece of cinema starring Lou Diamond Phillips, Marky Mark, and Mark Wahlberg!For real, #Hindsighters, what innocent catholic schoolgirl doesn’t dream about falling victim to kidnaping and inevitable Stockholm Syndrome when they’re taken hostage by someone as hot as Marky Mark?#Hindsighters, forget about Christina Applegate (we’re kidding; even Darth knows that’s not possible) and focus on the jailbait that is China Chow in this hot cinematic nonsense.What’s the one lesson your intrepid podcasters have learned from this movie, you ask?
