About this episode

The hosts discuss their differing opinions on the film 'Shelby Oaks' and its impact on audiences.

EPISODE 2: "Shelby Oaks" Chris Stuckmann's feature debut Shelby Oaks (2025) finally arrives, and we have very different reactions. Produced by Mike Flanagan and years in the making, this found-footage film about a missing paranormal investigation team has divided audiences - and us. We dig into the first act's promise versus the third act's delivery, debate whether YouTuber-to-filmmaker transitions can work, and confront the elephant in the room: hellhounds and flashlights. One of us is putting it in our top ten. The other is calling it the most disappointing film of the year. Plus: DIY Halloween costume breakdown featuring an Exorcist priest with authentic pea soup vomit recipe. Eric's Rating: Theater Josh's Rating: Nyquil
