About this episode

The episode discusses Eli Roth's film Knock Knock, exploring its merits and the concept of free pizza.

In this episode, Dustin's pick returns to the topic of Eli Roth as we discuss another film from his body of work. No, it's not an alternate universe John Wick movie, but if you squint hard enough, we understand. Join us as we check out Roth's modernized remake of 70's classic Death Game: Knock Knock from 2015. But is this a rightly maligned career low point or a misunderstood masterpiece? We get into it and, of course, have a lengthy discussion about the concept of free pizza. But before all that, Jason talks some Animal Attack subgenre while Dustin polishes off his revisit of Fulci's Gates of Hell trilogy as he once again tries re-evaluating its final entry. And so much more!
