    Ugh as if, Creepies! Join us on a trip back to the 90s as we talk about Fear Street Part One: 1994!

    #64 - Cannibal Holocaust

    I wonder who the real cannibals are, creepies? We ponder this and other existential questions while we finally dine on the depraved cult classic, Cannibal Holocaust (1980)! How does it compare to Eli Roth’s later homage? How many non-horror recommendations can we fit into a single episode? Is the professor from this movie kinda…hot? All these questions and more answered in just under an hour!

    #63 - Hostel: Part II

    Nostrovia, creepies! We're back from our hiatus to discuss our (one and only) Pride month movie, Hostel: Part II! We talk a lot about Heather Matarazzo, CGI nipples, and plot points that go nowhere but at the end of the day, it's all about people getting their dicks ripped off, right? It's good to be back!

    #62 - Hostel

    *barf noises*, creepies! This week, we're finally slicing up the details on Eli Roth's Hostel (2005), aka the grandaddy of the torture porn genre! We also wish we were European enough to call the club a "disco," discuss the major details of international train travel, and gag over the bloodshed. Pack your backpacks and let's get to traveling!

    #61 - The Descent

    Grab your pickaxes and carabiners, creepies, and come spelunking with us into the depths of The Descent (2005)! This week, we're skeptical about the movie's take on anatomy, we revisit the hairstyles of the early 00s, and we talk about how we'd never invite anyone we care about spelunking. Oh, wait...we did that at the beginning of this description, didn't we? But just as a metaphor, we promise!
