          The Schlocktober curse has struck us yet again, folks! Delayed by a flat tire on the car of your intrepid editor, interrupted by the computer of your intrepid editor crashing halfway through recording, also I think Sara spills water on her powerstrip at some point, idk, or perhaps... there's a man in all of our walls causing this mayhem! For the answers to these queries and more, join us and our guest this week, Sylvia (@sylvisurfer, suspiciously unmarred by the aforementioned and absolutely previously established Schlocktober curse), as we peer behind the dry wall and dive headlong into The Boy (2016). Topics include: and extended aside about Supernatural, emotional masochism, human foible, accidentally getting Too High, and MORE!
