About this listen

The family behind Dirt Dog Cinema brings you “Gem Hunt”. On each episode the dirt dogs dig up an obscure horror movie, gauge its level of obscurity, and vote to decide whether it warrants “hidden horror gem” status.

New episodes drop bi-weekly on Fridays.

  • L.A. AIDS Jabber
    Jan 17 2026

    Well, we’ve gone and done it.. we ended our holiday vacation and finally finished our first episode of 2026. Happy New Year or whatever.. We are starting the year off with a bang (or possibly a dud depending on who you ask). If you listened to the past two or three episodes, you know we’ve been threatening to watch and review the infamous 1994 movie L.A. AIDS Jabber.. guess what? That’s what we’re talking about this week! This is your chance to find out if the hype is legit and a word of warning.. you should brace yourselves for some bad news.

  • Prey (1977)
    Dec 19 2025

    This week on Gem Hunt, we raid this year’s October list one more time, and revisit 1977’s Prey for some weird British lesbionic action. Aliens! Dead birds! Awkward parties! Dive into the fetid pond with us, as we see if what we dredge up is gemalicious or turdtastical. Happy hunting and happy holidays from the Dirt Dog Family.

  • Sledgehammer (1983)
    Dec 5 2025

    Are you into bald teenagers? Do you like foggy rooms? Are you a little freak who likes scary tall men with tiny clothes? Well then - you’ve come to the right place. On this week's episode of Gem Hunt we’re kicking off the holiday season right with the dream-like logic of Sledgehammer (1983) -- a movie that even the director doesn’t seem to like or take seriously. Is it a gem? Is it a turd? Is it a gem with a bit of doodoo smeared on it? All will be revealed.
