HOLLYWOOD HANGOVER! This episode we revel in the disgusting and terrific madness of Sam Raimi's 'SEND HELP'! We go over why Raimi's return to genre horror was well worth the wait. It ROCKS! We also chat about all of the juicy fallout related to 2026 Oscar Nominations: will Sinners take home all the gold, with its record breaking 16 noms?
