This week we cover the "Cloverfield" universe. What makes this series so interesting is the EXTENSIVE viral marketing campaigns that accompany it. In fact, most of the mythology of the Cloververse occurs OUTSIDE of the movies. And in honor of the evil Tagruato Corporation, Michele gives us a Japanese cheesecake.

This week we review Rob Zombie's filmography. These movies are high on gore and violence (so they're not everyone's cup of tea). If you like "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" though, these are worth a watch. And in keeping with the theme, Michele has a meaty recipe for all you carnivores-- a Bacon Wrapped Filet. Check out the recipe at the Food Network here
