Shaun of the Dead

The Ring (2002)

It’s a bleak story, but we both seemed to like it a lot better on the second go-round. Listen to also discover how it compares with the Japanese original. Shout out to loyal listener, Jordan, for this week’s request. Thank you!

The Monster Squad

The three of us enjoyed chatting about this “Goonies for horror fans,” delivered like a time capsule from the 1980’s. We kinda wonder why it isn’t more popular today.
