Matinee Heroes

SE7EN

Detectives William Somerset and David Mills live among sin every day, a crumbling city of crime all around them. But nothing can prepare the partners for the killings they are about to experience. What starts as one bizarre crime turns into a case of serial murders as a predator named John Doe begins to execute victims by paying homage to the "deadly sin" they represent.

Alan and Craig discuss perverting one’s faith, sin eaters, stopping society’s descent into the garbage and the movie Se7en on this week’s Matinee Villains!
