https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-9na99-10a1382 There’s plenty to discuss from this horror/comedy that spurred a million, increasingly bleak sequels, brought to us by fellow journalist and oh yeah also Will’s wife Reem Nadeem. This is also our first Kevin Bacon vehicle, bringing the podcast to within one step of the man himself. So let’s take a little trip to […]

I incorrectly identified Ep. 6: Hanks for the Good […]
