For this episode we are joined by one of the PNW's most accomplished horror-sci-fi authors in Matt Ruff, author of the acclaimed 𝘓𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘧𝘵 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘺, to debate a venerated classic of American cinema in 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘹.The tentacles in Ruff's world may be less robotic...the systems of control more cosmic in nature than in 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘹, but that certainly doesn't make them any less terrifying. Perhaps, however, it will lend him some credence with the cosmic power represented through the dice gods. We won't know until the dice come to rest.Psssstttt... have you liked, commented, subscribed, and shared? Well, don't worry... It's not too late! DO IT NOW!

What up, Fermented Folks? Tonight, we bring a first-time guest to the show in Jonny Gensler, author of short fiction, military veteran, and survivor of a childhood in his own haunted house. He's here to debate Osgood Perkins' most unhinged film yet: The Monkey. Viewers of the show will know that some of our hosts aren't much for the splatter-type horror, but will this film subvert their expectations and bring them around to the other side of that argument? Perhaps... either way, the Dice Gods will have first say in how we all debate this thing. Tune in to find out. Psssstttt... have you liked, commented, subscribed, and shared? Well, don't worry...

In this episode, we welcome Rachel Harrison, author of "Black Sheep," "Such Sharp Teeth," "So Thirsty," and the forthcoming "Kiss, Slay, Replay," among other top-selling horror novels and short stories. She's coming in to debate the equally acclaimed film by Robert Eggers, "The Lighthouse." Will Rachel's takes be as unhinged as this film? Did she enjoy this movie, or did the esoteric, penis-metaphor ridden veneer of a plot bludgeon her to death like Robert Pattison with an obnoxious seagull? Only time will tell, and you'll have to tune in to find out.At the end of the day, the dice gods shall decide if we are or are not fond of Defoe's proverbial lobster. We hope you'll join us for the answers to all these questions and for some wonderful insight from one of contemporary horror's perennial greats.Psssstttt... have you liked, commented, subscribed, and shared?
