UPGRADE (2018) // Techno-Terror

Published on: 1st July, 2025

Surprise, doing this podcast for 5 years was actually to take over your phones and devices to take over the world! The boys kick off a month of technology-based horror movies discussing Upgrade by Leigh Whannell. We're talking about self-driving cars, loss of autonomy, embracing change, and the looming threat of AI. It's not too late to submit, give us full control!

About the Podcast

Specter Cinema Club
An exploration of the sub-genres that make up our favorite horror movies!
The ghosts of your horror movie club explore a different sub-genre each month! Featuring creators from the spooky community, stoner filmmaker DeVaughn Taylor & film journalist Garrett McDowell discuss the recurring motifs of various sub-genres and what makes the best genre films work. New episodes every Tuesday!

NOTE: We recommend starting at Season 2 (Ep60) as that's when Garrett joined and began our current format. Season 1 was the experimental phase haha
NOTE: The first 99 episodes, we were under "Bloody Blunts" however the show didn't change, so Season 3 is where we continued as "Specter Cinema"
