Welcome to the fifth annual NIC CAGE NOVEMBER! This year, we wade deep into strange waters with David Lynch’s 1990 neo-noir black comedy crime film Wild at Heart. It's an episode full of cigarettes, fire, and frivolity, with Lor’s potty mouth on full display.

Hail to the king, baby! In this week’s very special episode, Lor and Leigh join you live from The Little Theatre in Rochester, New York for a deep dive on 1992’s Army of Darkness and the Danse Macabre, a medieval artistic concept that reminds us all of the universality of death.

Thank you to everyone at The Little for helping UBMC feel right at home! We can’t wait to come back!

Since we're cracking open the doors to our first-ever live show watching Army of Darkness, we thought it was time for a refresher. In place of the usual magic lessons, Leigh and Lori walk through the bloody and bizarre plots of The Evil Dead (1981) and Evil Dead 2 (1987). Join in as we celebrate the legacy of Ash Williams, get a little handsy, and prepare you to join us for our biggest, grooviest adventure yet!
