This episode starts out pleasantly enough. Joe and Jared talk about the shows they've been Fixate and Binging on. They even rave about Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour. 

But then...at 14 minutes in...things turn Sinister. Remember when Joe assigned Jared six Insidious and scary films to watch, hoping to send him on a Descent into terror? Today is the day of reckoning when Jared returns and reports. Was he scared? Will he need at least 9 Sessions of therapy? 

There hasn't been this much anticipation for an episode since before the birth of Rosemary's Baby.  If The Black Phone rings, will you answer?
