Bad Cover Songs Everyone loves a good cover! But not all covers are good! This week  Rob and  Alan talk about what turns them off about some covers. Is it the band doing the covering?

Along the way, we referen...

The money is buried in the graveyard. The ghouls live underneath it. Karen and Tea dive into Lurking Fear – the 1994 Full Moon Entertainment adaptation of H.P.
