    Satanic Rich Kill-Offs: Ready or Not 2 & They Will Kill You

    On this episode of Psycho Drive-In, hosts Paul McCoy and John Meredith run through pop-culture news and tributes before diving into a double feature of violent cult horror: Ready or Not 2 and They Will Kill You. They compare the films’ shared premise—wealthy satanic elites who sacrifice the poor—contrast the tones (Ready or Not 2 as a worldbuilding sequel vs. They Will Kill You’s Tarantino/Kill Bill–style excess), praise lead performances and gore effects, and recommend seeing both back-to-back for a cathartic, over-the-top movie night.
