In a special episode, Matt joins Cort in the studio for the first time in five years to break down the cult horror-comedy Wolf Cop.

The conversation also veers into philosophical territory, analyzing themes of deception and consent within the movie's wild plot.

First podcast in a while. Diving into the maize of weirdness that is the Children of the Corn franchise starting with the first!

Revisiting the original Children of the Corn (1984), based on Stephen King's short story. This episode covers director Franz Kirsch's diverse career, the standout performances of John Franklin (Isaac) and Courtney Gaines (Malachi), and praises the film's brilliantly shot opening diner scene, despite its low budget. And the increasingly bonkers sequels to come.
