'You see that deer? I don't think you do.'

The Don't Go Out There Horror Movie Review Podcast hosts Nico, Brian, Mike, and Dustin analyze the 2014 B-movie "Zombeavers" to kick off their 2026 "cheesy B-horror movie" theme month. Brian selected this film, which features a cameo-heavy opening with comedians John Mayer and Bill Burr as truck drivers who crash a toxic waste barrel. The plot follows three college friends—Zoe, Mary, and Jen—who encounter zombie beavers at a remote lake house alongside their boyfriends. Specific scenes discussed include the animated opening credits, a beaver attack in a bathroom, and a character sacrificing a dog as bait. The hosts highlight the intentionally terrible dialogue, such as a "would you rather" question involving assault and murder, and the line "those kids scissoring each other to Lady Gaga." Memorable moments include the surprisingly good practical effects for the beaver puppets and the absurdity of the beavers cutting phone lines. Brian notes actor Courtney Palm's interview about filming nude scenes, while Dustin compares the beaver animatronics favorably to the CGI in "Gladiator II." The group unanimously praises the film for fully embracing its ridiculous premise and delivering consistent, intentional laughs. The tone of the episode is lighthearted and conversational, filled with inside jokes and playful banter among the longtime co-hosts. Listeners who enjoy "so-bad-it's-good" cinema and unpretentious, laugh-out-loud movie analysis will love this episode. Horror fans seeking serious critique or narrative depth should skip this review of a film about zombie rodents.

As heard by us

A filthy horror-comedy recap that leans into gross-out chaos and scene-by-scene banter.

The episode settles into the movie's gross-out comedy and keeps coming back to the same reckless pleasures: the awful pickup lines, the over-the-top sex scene, the bathroom beaver, the ugly-cry gag, and the orgy joke built around the idea that tomorrow is not promised.
