"The scariest thing about this Poltergeist remake? Realizing Sam Rockwell starred in it and doesn’t even remember."

Episode Description

This week, Landen and Truman venture into haunted suburban basements to tackle the 2015 remake of Poltergeist. From Sam Rockwell’s detached performance to the film’s baffling creative choices, they dissect how this remake compares (spoiler: not well) to the original 1982 classic. Along the way, they unpack horror’s obsession with suburbia, the legacy of haunted house tropes, and the real villain—2015’s CGI.
