Modern Rubbish

We're joined once again by Casey Anderson, to discuss Canadian indie nightmare Skinamarink! Note that this episode deals with some heavy subject matter, including child abuse, so if that's not territory you're interested in experiencing, it may be best to skip this one.

Sam Jones joins us once again, this time to discuss 2016 indie horror game Inside!

It feels like it's been a minute since we've rambled on about the occult, so we used Clive Barker's 1995 film Lord Of Illusions as an excuse to get back into it.

This week we tackle a pair of...controversial...2000s video game film adaptations, Resident Evil and Silent Hill.

The thrilling conclusion of our list of favorites from the last 25 years.
