This week we’re back in theaters to check out Smile 2 (2024). We examine the evolution of its entity, critique the effectiveness of its jump scares, and analyze the performances of its central characters. In this episode's b-side, we think back to the creepiest smiles in horror history, discuss some of our favorite cursed horror movies, and ponder whether we’re the cursed ones after all. This episode contains spoilers, beginning at 24:55.
