The Slashers

Join Jason of Binge Movies, the resident eternal optimist, who will find something to enjoy in most every film he watches, Megan from Spoilerpiece Theatre, the pragmatist who offers a grounded and deeper analysis of the films, and Paul from The Countdown, the show's "Negatron" and gorehound who demands some form of competence in his film viewing, as they commence their journey through the Golden Age of the Slasher sub-genre, one year at a time, by diving straight into 1980. 

The films covered in this week's Blood Pool are:

- Don't Answer the Phone! released February 29, 1980

- Friday the 13th released May 9, 1980

- Prom Night released July 18, 1980

- Motel Hell released August 14, 1980

- Schizoid released September 1, 1980

- Fade to Black released October 14, 1980

- Maniac released December 26, 1980

From this Pool, the hosts will each select their Best Poster/Box Art, Best Cult Classic, Best Final "Girl", Best Kill and Best Film, and - much to Jason's chagrin - will decide on a podcast winner from each category.
