Welcome, spooky cinephiles, to another chilling episode of Spooky Chicks & Horror Flicks! In this first hair-raising installment of our Summer Slasher Series, we dive into the misty waters of the 90s slasher classic, "I Know What You Did Last Summer." Secrets dropped in water can come back to haunt you... with a hook!

Join us as we unravel this iconic horror flick. What better way to get in the slasher spirit than dissecting a film where a fisherman's hook is the ultimate accessory?

But that's not all - brace yourselves for a spine-tingling twist: the curious case of three names! Three of the film's actors - Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Freddie Prinze Jr. - possess an extra name. Is it for luck, protection, or something more sinister?

Get ready for laughs, screams, and jump-scares as we dissect the film's iconic scenes. Will we survive the podcast without a real-life fisherman seeking revenge? Tune in to see if the terror stands the test of time or if it's more dated than a Blockbuster Video card.

Remember, someone knows what you're listening to this summer... If old-school pop culture spooks you, grab a nightlight.

Between sips of wine and bursts of laughter, we'll dissect the iconic scenes, analyze the spine-tingling special effects, and shamelessly express our undying love for the characters (*ahem* Craig T. Nelson). And, of course, we won't miss an opportunity to come up with our own zany theories about what really lurks within the haunted house.
