Join Dixon, Ryan, and John as they attempt to navigate I'm Thinking of Ending Things (2020), the unsettling Charlie Kaufman horror / thriller / existential head trip adapted from a novel of the same name.

Spooky Season is upon us and Ryan has hand picked a lesser known horror film to share with the crew. The simplistically titled Let's Scare Jessica to Death (1971) is about exactly what it sounds like, but is there more to it than that? What would compel a studio to name it with such bluntness? What kind of budget does it have? Is it actually scary? Should you add it to your Spooky Season watch list? Dixon, John, and Ryan are here to help you determine that and dig a little deeper while we're at it.

This week we're discussing the 1976 stone cold classic Network written by Paddy Chayefsky, directed by Sidney Lumet, and starring Faye Dunaway, William Holden, Peter Finch, and Robert Duvall. Undoubtedly the smartest and funniest dissection of television ever put on film, Network predicted Fox News, MSNBC, Alex Jones, and countless other for-profit programs pretending to be news. It feels more relevant with each passing day as the increasing absurdity of national news coverage leaves us with little choice but to laugh or despair.
