2026/04/03

Send us Fan Mail WoHos! This week we had a look at two Anthology/Portmanteau films: TALES FROM THE CRYPT & SOUTHBOUND. We enjoyed one of them. Mac and I spent the episode comparing the two anthology films with very different levels of success. SOUTHBOUND got a mixed response—we found one segment that worked, but overall the film didn’t quite hold together. There’s a sense that it had potential but didn’t fully deliver across all its stories. In contrast, TALES FROM THE CRYPT (1972) (have ...

Send us a text This week, despite technical difficulties and returning back to school, we were able to have a wonderful conversation about serial killers. We had to stitch together three different recordings together, but I think I smoothed it out pretty well.
