The idiom "silence is golden" has never been more deadly serious than in this week's movie! A family in New York state manage to survive a brutal alien invasion for over a year by staying off the grid and using ASL to communicate to one another, a skill they nurtured thanks to their deaf daughter. Things change as feelings of fear, resentment, and the stress of a new baby threaten to shatter the quiet they need to survive.

"This episode, the gang is joined by special guest Sarah Sonderlund: forensic psychologist, paranormal expert, and author! Come along with Sarah, Aaron, Miguel, and Lyndsey as they dismember this week's film while answering important questions about the ingredients of zombie poison, being buried alive, and just how much stretching a movie needs to do to be 'based on a true story'.  Unravelling the secrets of 1988's The Serpent and the Rainbow is enough fun that you don't need to be nailed to your seat to be riveted!"
