659 - Modern Lovecraft

3/12/2024
This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM watch a couple of Lovecraft adaptations. Suitable Flesh isn't bad but is very, very, gratuitously sexual.

658 - Found Footage Fiesta

3/3/2024

656 - Kingbruary Week 2

2/18/2024
This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM watch the original Pet Sematary and it's sequel, Pet Sematary 2. The first one takes too long to get going, but when it does it's pretty wild.

655 - Kingbruary Week 1

2/11/2024
This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM watch a couple of Stephen King adaptations. Pet Semetary Bloodlines isn't actually and adaptation, but whatever.

Tune in for a book report, and stay to hear DM win at trivia.

1/28/2024

647 - 90s November Week 2 - Mountaineering

11/19/2023
This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM watch two movies set on K2, the savage mountain. K2 is more tense drama than action movie but it's still totally worth your time.
