For this week’s episode of Dark Night of the Podcast, Paris Hilton won’t be the only thing having you all say “That’s hot!” At least not while you experience the sensation of hot, melted wax covering every inch of your body. It’s finally time for Troy and Roger to review one of the best remakes of our time, 2005s criminally underrated “House of Wax”. Like, what more could they have given us with this one?! You’re getting a sensible brunette Elisha Cuthbert donning a wife beater and losing fingers, Chad Michael Murray in his prime looking all sweaty and shirtless, some of the absolute best kill sequences we’ve seen post-millennium, and that chase… oh that chase… you know exactly the one we’re talking about! So make sure to light a couple of candles, but make sure you don’t burn yourself because… that’s hot! Oh come on, you knew it was coming…

Grab your bucket, blow torch, and favorite hungry rodent and join Troy and Roger as they discuss what is certainly the most obscure film they’ve ever covered—the 1987 direct to video dysfunctional family shocker Epitaph (aka Mommy’s Epitaph) directed by Joseph Merhi. The guys bask in their admiration for one Delores Nascar, ponder why the film isn’t more well known and celebrated among the gays, contemplate the logistics of gentleman still being alive days after being brutally stabbed repeatedly in the chest, and Troy shares his excitement and the longshot idea of remaking the film!

Troy and Roger are women on fire, they’re out of control. Troy and Roger are women on fire tonight, and it frightens them so! The gays back in full force, and what better way to get back into the groove of things than by reviewing everyone’s favorite aerobics-infused slasher Killer Workout aka Aerobicide!

What other film out there boasts two men with identical features and matching bowl-cuts, an arrest sequence featuring a pair of severely burned breasts, a kickass soundtrack containing an array of 80s classics that you’ve never heard but won’t stop singing once you do, and an army of female gym-goers who absolutely refuse to stop attending their aerobics class no matter what the cost!
