The episode features a commentary track for the 1953 film House of Wax, discussing its significance in horror cinema and the challenges faced during its production.

Flesh crawls! Wax melts! Beneath the mask, is he sculptor or slasher?! BOP rises from the ruins of its humble podcast studio to bring you a BOP n A Movie commentary for André De Toth’s 1953 technicolor classic, House of Wax! AKA “the House of Wax that has less gore but somehow more underwear.” Listen as the crew discuss the role that cemented Vincent Price as a horror star after years of just being a handsome bastard, the challenges De Toth faced shooting the world’s only 3-D movie by a man with one functioning eyeball, the film’s often-forgotten pedigree as a remake meant to take audiences away to a simpler time for horror, and the unforgiving visage of Charles Bronson forever cast in undying clay.
