Amber and Bailey dive back into the spine-chilling Warrenverse this week, tackling James Wan’s eerie follow-up to the 2013 horror sensation; The Conjuring 2. Bailey finds himself pondering the peculiar choices of the Hodgson residence, especially their insistence on keeping a decrepit, spooky sofa. What's the sinister secret behind its persistent stains, and does Bailey's claims of its sordid origins really hold any water? Amber, on the other hand, is ready to unleash her unfiltered frustrations on the so-called heroes of the story, questioning the motives that formed the foundations of their careers.

When they're not immersed in the supernatural, the duo shares their latest gym escapades, personal experiences with sleep paralysis, and their new winking tactic not all too dissimilar from that of a secret handshake.
