🏫 Welcome to Week 1 of Our Back to School Special! 📏 Power on your iMacs, ditch the pagers & join the DFM quartet as we wind back the clock ever so slightly to Robert Rodriguez’s quintessential 90s flick - where high school students face off against thirsty alien-infected teachers in a wildly fun (our 2¢) blend of sci-fi & horror.

We’ll discuss the neon-lit Hollywood underbelly-deets that is the final chapter of the Ti-West/Mia Goth X-trilogy. We all find 1985 to be well represented and agree on the greatness of some of the deaths, but do we agree on Ms. Minx’s character arc, the strength of the supporting characters and the way the trilogy ended?

[Spoiler discussion begins at 18:40] Whether you’ve watched Longlegs or not (and whether you enjoyed it or not), there’s a little something for every take during this bonus ep.

There’s some unique elements to this flick not found in movies it has been compared to. We round out the ep discussing what movies we’d pair with Longlegs.

How does this week's film compare to the House of the Devil and what do we think of the location and the cast this go-round? We find The Innkeepers to be a solid delight if you don't mind the mundane and lost twenty-somethings themes. Is it the perfect gateway horror? You bet!

This 2012 meta-commentary multi-genre mashup is much better than anticipated! We discuss the days when Nextflix rented discs and when Redbox was full of undiscovered gems and germs. We also choose the character type we would be in this movie & what monsters from the whiteboard we'd choose to appease the ancient ones. Enjoy!
