About this episode

The episode explores the film Martyrs and discusses extreme horror and related films.

In this episode, we dive back into the listener suggestion pile to guide our focus back into the world of extreme horror. Consider this your content warning and brace yourselves as we tackle another of the all-time heavy hitters of extreme horror. Join us as we check out Pascal Laugier's Martyrs from 2008. Jason breaks down the New French Extremity movement while Dustin offers a very sobering first-time watch take on the film. But before all that, we've got some Thanksgiving-time viewings and a special extended discussion on Urotsukidoji as Dustin runs down the sequels. And so much more!
