Furries, bad weather, and painful banter, oh my!  You picked it, so we had to watch it.  But we didn’t do it on our own.  Nope.  We roped Ian Mond from The Writer and the Critic Podcast into joining us for this endless reel of terror.  Featuring our amazing acting talents, our five-by-fives, and lots of laughter, this is one episode you don’t want to miss (unless you’re crazy and actually like this film).
