Don't drink the tea and always listen to ghosts because we are crossing the pond to discuss Guillermo del Toro's Gothic Romance film, Crimson Peak (2015). Along for the ride is returning guest Greg Mucci, who loves this film, but can't deny that the love and mystery portions don't always work. Plus: aggressive hand-jobs, Stephen King pull quotes, gorgeous set and costume design, Mimic slander, and did Trace and Joe even watch the movie? Questions? Comments? Snark?

Don't adjust your feed: we're redoing Richard Shepard's twisty 2019 secret rape/revenge film, which drew criticism when we covered it in our first year. Joining us is musician and Halloweenies editor Mae Shults for a discussion that veers between heavy, confessional and dumb. We're talking real life sexual assault, pooping our pants and guessing the pop culture moment the film's wig reveal is referencing. Plus: debating the responsibility of art (and other criticisms from reviews), praising the performances, and questioning the catharsis of the ending References: > Aja Romano.
