Join us as we continue a long-standing tradition of revisiting the films we discussed the previous year. 2023 presented us with thrilling, funny, horrific, and thought provoking films. The stories ran the gamut from; killing nazis, body swapping, the coming of the apocalypse, playing God, getting stuck in a port-a-potty, killing more nazis, participating in immortality rituals (idunno), alien home invasions, animals doing massive amounts of narcotics, even more nazis dying horribly, and evil possessing the innocent. We take all these films and distill them down to our Top 13 and unveil the highly coveted number one film of the year! So grab your favorite nazi killing implement, ask Renfield to bring you your ass cane, and strap on for the world’s most dangerous year end show!
