WHAT'S IN THE PODCAST

Many an SNL actor has had interesting career trajectories and while Joe Piscopo's definitely went into a nosedive afterwards, at least he can say he was in an insanely enjoyable horror spin on the buddy cop subgenre that has reanimated corpses, gun fights, and above all living meat. Ladies and gentlemen... this is DEAD HEAT.

So join us for our last entry of "H...

Welcome back to "Horror-by-Proxy" month. The month where we salute the flicks that may not be considered horror, but definitely walk in it's shadow. For today we salute the family that puts the "fun" in funeral. Today we salute Barry Sonnenfeld's quintessential portrayal of the Addams Family.
