Welcome to The Podcast Compels You!

Stacie and Curtis start off by talking about their quick takes on some recent TV, films, and books:

• The final season of Stranger Things
• The new survival horror film Send Help
• The new Shudder movies Mother of Flies and Severed Sun
• The horror book Wake Up and Open Your Eyes
• Get a ⁠free copy⁠ of Stacie’s new horror-comedy novellette, Dead Husband Energy, or buy a ⁠pre-release copy for 99 cents from Amazon⁠!

Then, the afflicted duo take a close look at the 2020 movie Spontaneous, a movie in which senior class students at Covington High start spontaneously exploding. What does it mean for our protagonist, Mara, to live with the uncertainties of adolescence, graduation, a new boyfriend, and the threat that she may be a splot of blood at any point? Stacie’s closing thoughts on the movie are so good they make Curtis rescind his old score and give it a new one!
