    The Rage: Carrie 2 (1999)

    Grab your scorebook and prepare for a wild ride as Troy and Roger dive into one of cinema's most unexpected sequels: Katt Shae’s totally ’90s gem, The Rage: Carrie 2. Join the guys as they navigate the intricacies of a mother-daughter relationship that’s about as developed as a high school group project, tackle the ultra-realistic world of high school slut-shaming, and raise an eyebrow at the disturbingly chill security at Antrum Mental Institution—seriously, do they even have a security guard?! Oh, and let’s not forget the shoehorned-in Sue Snell—because every sequel needs a cameo from the past, right?

    The Town That Dreaded Sundown (2014)

Is it a remake? A sequel? A reimagining? Join the guys as they ponder this and discuss topics such as the stunning cinematography, a surprisingly poignant queer element, the mopey, but surprisingly endearing final girl, and the plausibility and logistics of that out of nowhere killer reveal.

    Eaten Alive (1976)

    Troy and Roger take a daring plunge into the swampy chaos of Tobe Hooper's 1976 shocker, Eaten Alive!. Join the guys as they dissect the film, connecting the dots to Texas Chainsaw Massacre. They’ll explore the tangled character dynamics, the bewildering narrative that leaves you wondering if anyone knew what was going on, and the surprisingly perilous role of child characters (because nothing says horror like a kid in a dangerous situation!). They discuss the film’s portrayal of violence, its exploitation aspects, and the wig choices that make you question if the costume designer was playing a prank. Expect reflections on character motivations that are about as clear as murky swamp water and a deep dive into the film's legacy in the horror community. So, grab your favorite snack (and maybe a spare wig for good measure) as Roger and Troy chew on Eaten Alive—a film that's as entertaining as it is baffling!
