Spooky season doesn’t have to end if we don’t let it end, you know? So let’s get uncomfortable. Bill is afraid of mirrors. Make your jokes, but he’s seen some stuff.

A minor illness can’t stop this train. We’ve got nonsense to talk about. It’s the last of our Horror Harvest, and it kind of snuck up on us. Thankfully it’s a good one. We discuss the masterful work of Bong Joon-ho’s The Host. We also have a quick Dead Wrong, though something is a little […] ★ Support this podcast ★

The podcast game is all about efficiency you see. We’re experts after all. We managed to cram virtually all of our segments into a brisk hour and a half. Now that’s efficient.

James Wan’s Malignant? Not very scary. Dear Evan Hanson? Now that’s a horror movie if we’ve ever seen one. You have to try the De-aged Ben Platt, it’s wonderfully in-season, slight notes of apricot. Horror Harvest has us pore over Wan’s misstep, as we discuss how the film doesn’t commit to what works. Later, Ian […] ★ Support this podcast ★

This week’s Horror Harvest pick has Bill reaching for some kind of deeper political theming. Does Gaspar Noe’s Climax convey an anti-drug message, or is it nothing more than nightmare nihilism? For our main story: this high school football program doesn’t exist, so how did they end up in a marquee game on ESPN? Later, […] ★ Support this podcast ★

OkCupid is really out here allowing spon-con. Are people getting weirder or is Bill just finding all of them for Dating is Dead?

When you stare into the abyss, sometimes the abyss stares back. We thought it was over, but the siren song episode preview drew Ian back to Sexy Beasts. We might never be the same.

We did it. For you. We watched the first episode of Sexy Beasts. And despite Bill wanting to axe the segment, we press on. It was so much weirder than we imagined, but for very different reasons.

The snow is slowly starting to melt, and we’re crawling towards a year of quarantine. How are we coping?

It was the end of 2020, so we thought we’d put in as much effort as the worst year on record did: none. We went into this episode without any notes or planned topics, and boy does it show!
