About this episode
The hosts discuss various horror themes and the film 'Cat People' while sharing humorous anecdotes.
Quick question, friends: which host do you think has standing cannibal plans? You'll find out, and fast, on this episode! Then we're chatting for a bit about mummies in the 1970s, a pack of undifferentiated psychic dudes, queer Beetlejuice, and poor Rebecca, who definitely died tripping over a pile of rope. Then we head to remake town to watch Cat People! Join us in a depressingly outdated zoo as we discuss ladder stunts, arm ripping, and poorly pitched incest plans.
