April 26The Blair Witch Project (1999)
The boys pack their bags and go for a hike with Rowan's pick, THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT (1999)! It may not have invented found footage, but is it still the blueprint every shaky-cam nightmare is chasing? Does the "witch" still get under our skin, or are we too desensitized to twig bundles and rock throwing? And most importantly, can we all learn to agree, or do we wind up standing in the corner like Mike? Tune in to find out if we gave this film a NAY, OKAY, YAY, or SLAY!

April 22Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) (NOW SLAYING)
On this episode of NOW SLAYING, Colton & Rowan go under wraps with LEE CRONIN'S THE MUMMY! Was there enough Egyptian flair? Is Jack Reynor still stuck in his bear-suit from MIDSOMMAR?

April 12Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning (2004) Featuring Willow Catelyn Maclay
The squad heads back in time with special guest Willow Catelyn Maclay to sink their teeth into Gill's pick, GINGER SNAPS BACK: THE BEGINNING (2004). Direct-to-video, but does it still draw blood? Is this the bleakest entry in the series? And, is Rowan lowkey howling that this ain't called GINGER SNAPS 3?! Tune in to find out if we gave this film a NAY, OKAY, YAY, or SLAY!

April 03They Will Kill You (2026) (NOW SLAYING)
On this episode of NOW SLAYING, Colton & Rowan do a full-on double take and somehow end up fighting Satan (again?!) with THEY WILL KILL YOU! Is the gore nasty enough to earn a spot in the horror hall of fame, or just a messy afterthought? Have we discovered someone with a foot fetish that could rival Tarantino's? And wait, just checking again, our theatre tickets don't say READY OR NOT 2, right?? Tune in to find out if we gave this film a NAY, OKAY, YAY, or SLAY!

March 29Peeping Tom (1960)
The squad busts out their film reels and stares longingly at Mike's pick, PEEPING TOM (1960). Is this a film that deserves a legacy as legendary as PSYCHO? Is the technicolor cinematography simply chef's kiss? Or, can some of us not even manage to keep our eyes open for an older movie like this?!

March 19Undertone (2025) (NOW SLAYING)
On this episode of NOW SLAYING, Colton & Rowan keep the mics hot and talk about A24's latest, UNDERTONE! Does this Canadian horror have us feeling a little patriotic?
