    I got here through You Are Good, who had the fellas as guests for an episode on the movie Demons.

From the Universal Classics to Cronenberg, they explore all the horror favorites and…not so favorites to see if they’re a movie anyone can enjoy or if it’s just a bit much. I am not a big Horror guy, but I have listened to t... more
