About this episode

The episode discusses 'Nightmare on Elm Street' and 'Black Phone 2' with humor and behind-the-scenes insights.

Hey Whole Damn Family hope you all are had a great holiday season. This episode is a treat! We start by discussing how angry Mom is with us about our recent treatment of Vin Diesel. Then we jump right into Wes Craven's classic Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), the movie that started a phenomenon. There are some great behind-the-scenes bits here and a lot of fun riffing on Johnny Depp (it's his first movie) and how much of a "Blanche DuBois" mess Nancy's mom is. After the lobby break we get into the ever creepy character of Ethan Hawke's, The Grabber with Black Phone 2 for our spoiler free review, and then come back to spoil the whole damn thing. Some good behind the scenes bits in this one too. For more info on the makeup Fx folks responsible for your nightmares check out these instas.
