Mike & Harry have searched high and low for a hero willing to rescue them from the island. In this episode they find two heroes, but unfortunately they're confined to the silver screen. "Batman Returns" and "Spider-Man 2," directed by Tim Burton and Sam Raimi respectively, are two masterclasses in the limitless potential of the superhero genre.

Mike & Harry wrap up their month-long celebration of horror with each of their favorite horror films. Up first is Mike's pick, the groundbreaking, art house adjacent, and slasher-inspiring classic "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre," which is soaked in as much thematic depth as it is blood. After that is Harry's pick, the found footage subgenre defining "The Blair Witch Project," a rare example of a wholly original film across all aspects of production with its fingerprints all over the horror zeitgeist still.
