Show Notes
This week we venture into Insidious: Out of the Further, and beg the question, how has a series built on the fear of the unknown become so hellbent on explaining everything that happens in such excruciating detail? Plus, the cringiest character of the year, Lin Shaye takes her place as the Dr. Loomis of modern times, and a dentist scene so disgusting it made all of us retch just talking about it.
After the break we're digging into the landmark re-release of Ken Russel's The Devils, preview Shudder's latest, The Cycle, talk about our 19th anniversary happening this month and look ahead at our 20th year. 🎙️Full audio episode also available wherever you listen to podcasts.
