·49 min·3 clips

Mike calls the ending "fucking dumb and stupid" after Kevin Nash, Glacier, and the coleslaw traps go nowhere.

1. Don't Go Out There Horror Movie Podcast 468 covers Slaw (2017), a 2017 horror-comedy framed by the hosts as a parody of the Slaw franchise. 2. Nico, Brian, Mike, and Dustin host the review, and Mike and Dustin matter most here because they drive the scene-by-scene critique and wrestling references. 3. The episode asks whether Slaw works as a parody, and the panel's answer depends on whether the movie can be entertaining while being bad. 4. The opening trap uses coleslaw, a knife table, and a spinning carousel setup, which the hosts describe while reacting to the film's cheap credits and costume design. 5. Mike says the movie labels itself a parody but "really doesn't do anything Slaw-like," then compares it to Scary Movie and its close imitation of the source material. 6. The panel spends time on Kevin Nash, Glacier, Doc Gallows, and Luke Gallows, because the wrestling cameos are the main reason several hosts expected to like the movie. 7. Dustin says he picked Slaw after seeing the thumbnail, and Mike says the movie was "not good" even on a second watch. 8. The first major trap forces a contestant to eat coleslaw for 30 minutes, and the hosts focus on the gag where his stomach opens and his guts spill out. 9. The review keeps returning to dialogue that the hosts call cringe, including jokes about country music, black characters, and a man named Martha. 10. The restaurant and interrogation scenes draw long discussion because they stretch the runtime without giving the cops or victims clear momentum. 11. Mike calls the end "fucking dumb and stupid," and the group treats that as part of a pattern rather than a single bad beat. 12. Dustin says the trap collars looked loose enough to slip off, and the group questions whether the game mechanics even make sense. 13. The hosts also notice a shirt stitched with the name "Martha," which makes Mike say the panic explanation does not fit what the movie shows. 14. The wrestling-convention material gets attention because the movie inserts Kevin Nash into a convention scene and the hosts recognize other wrestling names in the cast. 15. The panel jokes that the movie feels like a bootleg horror film, with scenes that keep bloating the runtime and kills that are sometimes not shown on screen. 16. Mike and Dustin both say the movie would have been easier to accept without the Slaw parody label, because that promise sets up a higher expectation. 17. The tone is mostly sarcastic, frustrated, and repetitive, with the hosts riffing over one another as they track every bad choice. 18. The format is a scene-by-scene review with occasional wrestling digressions, airport stories, and side jokes about other movies. 19. Wrestlers, horror-comedy fans, and listeners who enjoy live scene breakdowns. 20. Anyone wanting tight plotting, subtle humor, or a clean parody.

As heard by us

A wrestling-heavy autopsy of unseen kills, stray coleslaw, and bad decisions hiding in plain sight.

The episode treats the movie as a stress test for how much bad-movie chaos a wrestling-heavy panel can carry. Nico, Brian, Mike, and Dustin dig into Kevin Nash playing Kevin Nash, Luke Gallows getting more room than expected, and nods to Glacier and Nature Boy Paul Lee.
