Jaci & Luke are doing something a little different for the Holidays. Notably, they're watching 1920's Der Golem, a German expressionist look at Jewish folklore. So grab some clay and summon a demon(?), with topics this week including: the finer points of not being able to talk in film, how horror impacts audiences through time, Shakespeare, some pretty good effects work, and the vagaries of pre-war life in Berlin.

Jaci & Luke get to peepin' this time with Hitchcock's classic Rear Window, starring Grace Kelly and James Stewart. They're talking everything suspense and thrillers, with a particular focus on: John Mulaney as a nurse, the birds and the trees, bottle episodes and how many nuggets of horror do you need to really make a horror film, anyway?

Enjoy a special Thanksgiving treat from Jaci & Luke this week, as they revisit 1991's Oscar-sweeping hit, Silence of the Lambs!
