‘We all go a little mad sometimes.’ In this episode, Meli and Phoenix are diving into the world of psychological thrillers. They talk about some of the most derange psychopaths of the thriller genre and their movies. Do you dare to take a glimpse into their minds? What you find may drive you insane.

That’s so overrated! Some movies get talked about so much, that when you finally watch them,  they fall a bit short. This week Meli and Phoenix will be talking about some of their top picks for this topic. Do you agree or disagree with their list? If you have any they missed, feel free to let them know.

Hellraiser
1 pt Sambuca
1 pt Midori
1 pt Strawberry Liqueur

In horror movies, there aren’t too many times where we are truly surprised anymore. Meli and Phoenix discuss the movies who defied the odds and had a real moment that made them go, “Oh, shit!”

Jello Shots
Meli and Phoenix chose Jell-O shots for this topic because, like the twists in these movies, they really do come out of nowhere. You can have a few and feel fine for a while, but then it hits you and all you can say is “Oh, shit! I’m drunk!”
