PODCAST

Chew Bubblegum and Kick Ass

This podcast used to be about John Carpenter but we watched all his stuff. Now Brett, Dylan, and Tucker watch and talk about a set of movies revolving around a certain theme, such as movies that take place in a tall building, holiday horror, nostalgia films, and more. It's a very high-brow affair.
