About this episode

The episode discusses the horror comedy 'Eight Legged Freaks' and its themes involving spiders and government conspiracies.

Did a certain recent release have you longing for a little more David Arquette? Then you might be on the same page as our Patrons, because when it came time for them to pick a flick in our Quarterly Vote, they went with Eight Legged Freaks (2002). A creature feature that takes creepy crawlies and gives them the classic toxic waste treatment, this monster movie dares to ask if there's anything scarier than a spider. The answer, BTW? Two hundred spiders that are all really big. Join us on a new Spooky Tuesday as we talk squashing bugs, Scarlett Johansson, government conspiracies, and 4DX effects.  References:  https://knowablemagazine.org/content/article/mind/2021/are-spiders-intelligent https://www.burkemuseum.org/collections-and-research/biology/arachnology-and-entomology/spider-myths/myth-daddy-longlegs-would https://www.unmc.edu/healthsecurity/transmission/2023/10/31/is-it-true-that-you-sometimes-swallow-spiders-in-your-sleep/ https://www.discoverwildlife.com/animal-facts/insects-invertebrates/spitting-spider-guide https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/Spiders_(Eight_Legged_Freaks)…
