For Poltergeist II we had the pleasure of the presence of a Polter-guest: none other than Peter Warden, from the podcast Retro Reviews! We crossed over into “the other side” and had a consensus of “rent it” for this endearing-enough sequel to one of our favorite horror movies. Join us as we talk mess monsters, evil mezcal worms, the merits of Steven and Taylor’s rivalry, and finally settle the score for when Peter made us watch one of our least favorite films we’ve covered.
