🎣 Summer is here!!! And we're starting the season off right by revisiting this 25 year old slasher that was the first to hop on the wave of the 90s teen horror trend that was started by Scream one year earlier. And in true 90s fashion, IKWYDLS's script just so happens to also be written by Kevin Williamson. So in this episode we will be talking about the screenwriter who had his finger on the pulse of a generation, asking the question of whether nostalgia is a factor in this movie's continued popularity, propose the idea of what a possibility for a modern day requel might look like, question whether or not the right couple survived the wrath of the Fisherman, and of course as always we'll choose which character we think was most deserving to die.

🤡 Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, Poltergeist is among one of the most treasured childhood horror movie memories we have, so we figured we would take the opportunity to stroll down memory lane and go directly into the light. In this episode we will discuss the film's legacy in terms of its symbology, lasting appeal, and infamous legend of being cursed. We'll also touch upon the rumors of discord between director Tobe Hooper and producer Steven Spielberg, and give our own perspective on who we think actually directed the picture. And of course as always, we'll choose which character we think was most deserving to die.

🤼‍♂️ If there was ever a more fitting title for a movie, it would be Wes Craven's Cursed, which infamously went through three reshoots overs the course of two and a half years, leaving behind a completely different movie, that will likely never see the light of day... or the full moon! In this episode we will be deconstructing Cursed, which is possibly more remembered for its production than the movie itself, by going over what could have been, how it all went to wrong, the comparisons between the eventual theatrical and uncut versions, what we actually like about the movie, werewolf movie lore in general, and of course we'll choose which character we think was most deserving to die.
