New month, new genre! Invading the Homes of the Disabled will be a four part series looking at a reel specific set of HORROR movies! And it all starts with this week's film: Mischief Night (2013) directed by Richard Schenkman. Low budgets, too many writers and obviously no active script supervisor. A teenage, female protagonist with psychosomatic blindness and...wait what else? Listen as the guys try to decipher what makes this movie one of Jake's new favorite movies to love to hate!

Next week is Don't Breathe (2016) directed by Fede Alvarez!

This week the boys watched California (1977) directed by Michele Lupo. Two Confederate soldiers are released from a POW camp at the end of the Civil War and begin the long trek back to Georgia.

These and many other questions will be asked and ultimately forgotten in the second episode of Reel Specific!
