In an episode that serves primarily as a character study of its two hosts, Elijah challenges Vanessa to find the perfect horror pairing for grim samurai masterpiece The Sword Of Doom. After comparing the protagonist to Pinhead, Vanessa pulls a wildcard and pairs it not with Hellraiser, but with The Ritual. But what does being lost in the woods have in common with the journey of a heartless swordsman? What makes David Bruckner's horror so effective? And how did Vanessa land on "Samu-rye"? Find out, in this week's double-feature discussion!  

The official snack pairing for The Sword Of Doom and The Ritual is hot sake and vodka, drunk alternately until you feel introspective.  

This episode was brought to you by the cursed sword Elijah bought at a garage sale.
