About this episode

The episode discusses the horror film 'Would You Rather' and its themes of class, desperation, and moral choices.

May's phobia is decidophobia and the fear of making decisions. This week the fiends Totemlydrunk and Grindhouse Zombie are digging into David Guy Levy's Would You Rather, a film that takes one of childhood's most innocent games and transforms it into one of a pointed exploration of class, desperation, and moral compromise. We talk about why the real horror begins long before anyone sits down at Lambrick's dinner table, what Jeffrey Combs' aristocratic sadist reveals about the aestheticization of wealth and power, and why the film's ending is one of the most genuinely devastating conclusions in recent horror memory.
