Marko joins us this month to discuss the 2011 film The Cabin in the Woods. The movie follows five college friends who head to the woods for…fun? Unfortunately, they end up finding the exact opposite. Because if the creepy gas station man wasn’t enough, there is a basement full of horrors in which the kids unwittingly choose their fate by releasing a killer zombie family upon themselves. Oh, and the whole thing is being orchestrated by a shadow agency attempting to save the world through human sacrifice. 

For the second week in a row, we talk about some devastating deaths in public settings, but not before Mark tells a heartwarming story about a quirky Frenchman, we talk about ICE and the National Guard, and Corrigan questions what the best radioactive mutation would be.
