An except from our special. We talk about Kenneth Branagh, Much Ado About Nothing, Thor, Thor: Ragnarok, bad movie watching experiences, and naturally a firefighting anime.

If you haven't checked out last week's episode about Repo: The Genetic Opera - man you should go check that out. That movie was wild.

In two more days, we're going to release our full episode on Attack the Block with Morgan from Diversity in Horror and you don't want to miss this one! See you then!

Hey there Horribles! It's a new week and that means new podcasts! We have, I promise, our last digression about Hannibal today.

If you haven't listened to our episode on Repo: The Genetic Opera yet, go do it now! It came out on Friday and I promise it's a good time.

In the mean time, get ready, because out episode about Attack the Block is up next and features an awesome guest! Morgan is the author of the Diversity in Horror blog and twitter feed and they are super psyched to talk about a great movie. Attack the Block is a fave or ours and is one we've been waiting to check off our list for a while! See you here on Friday!

Repo: The Genetic Opera is a horror musical goth opera about a guy who repossesses organs, his sick daughter, a family full of underused character actors, and one very screamy grave robber. It's...a lot...but somehow also not enough. It is super weird though.
