Wassup Rotters! This week i'm joined by Mike Muncer (Evolution Of Horror)& Becky Darke to drag the 1991 postmodern slasher 'Popcorn' from its Canadian grave.  We discuss the immersive horror cinema of William Castle and try to decide whether this film is supernatural or not.

Put your paws up, Rotters! A poisonous cat, within a cat, on a luxury yacht?  Yes please. This week we're joined by performer Cody Jamison Strand to talk about one of the most deranged movies ever to come out of the 80s, Uninvited (1988). We try to make sense of this inadvertent masterpiece and ponder the paramount question: 'What if cats were actually poisonous?'
