Come one, come all dear listeners because we just got an over-shipment of the finest cinematic tenderloins of terror and DOTP is passing those savings on to you! Could we interest you in the tropical terror of "Send Help" or the meta mayhem of "Faces Of Death"? Maybe a morsel of "The Mummy" to bring home to the family otherwise "They Will Kill You"!If you prefer more existential eats then perhaps sample the imported wild catch that is "Exit 8"? Lastly, be sure to take home a "Masters Of The Universe" Charcuterie to go with every meal! Mike and Tim get right to the meat of it on Episode 104 Fresh Cuts: The Dream Child!
