Happy 2023 and welcome back! We're joined by author Gae Polisner to discuss The Exorcist. As you know, it's a theory of ours that everyone has that one horror movie they love and Gae (noted exact opposite of a horror enthusiast) picked The Exorcist! If you're only going to choose one, that's a great? Nonsensical? Terrifying? option. Either way, we have a blast dissecting it.

Josh and Kelly discuss the 1988 movie Maniac Cop. Conversation centers around the prescient nature of the movie, vigilante justice, an upcoming reboot and the absolute amazingness of Tom Atkins. 

CORRECTION: The reboot by Nicolas Winding Refn is going to be a TV series on HBO and  not a movie.

Josh and Kelly discuss the incredibly polarizing Halloween Ends. Is it really a farewell to Haddonfield and Michael Myers? Probably not. But if it is, we're both happy with the way it ended.

Josh and Kelly discuss Jeepers Creepers with Victor Varnado (actor, comedian, writer, patent-holder and podcast co-host). Topics include our roles in a Skynet situation (no, you're not missing anything; we really do start the episode in the middle of a conversation), the Creeper's hobbies and whether the locals are in on it. We also discuss WikiListen (Victor's podcast with Rachel Teichman and the best idea ever).

If you're a fan of movies, you know who William Sadler is. He's almost certainly been in at least one of your favorite movies (like the Tim Curry meme, it would be a good personality test to see what your first association with his name and face is) and we had the best time discussing his career.

We're back with our most divisive episode yet! Josh "Brian" Bermont and Kelly Hager discuss The Shining and we put author Alex Grass in the middle. Is it a great movie? Who's to say? But it's definitely beloved by many people!

Alex handles his tiebreaker status with flair and just as a warning, do not eat or drink during this episode because there's a decent chance you'll choke. This could be our funniest episode to date and that's a high bar.

NOTE: There are spoilers in this episode.

 We're joined by our friend (and fellow horror enthusiast) Isaac to discuss the 80s horror classic Poltergeist! We discuss his horror origin story, whether Marty is the worst house guest ever and if the sequels are worth seeing (yes, but only Poltergeist II: The Other Side).
