Gobble gobble motherfudgers! Here in America it’s the time of year where we celebrate our white-washed historical account of colonization and genocide, so we can be thankful. Or something. To commemorate the occasion we have a double feature of Thanksgiving horror flicks: the turkey slasher “ThanksKilling” and “Pilgrim”, which is part of Hulu’s holiday-themed “Into the Dark” series. If you want to follow along with the podcast, next episode is a Christmas special! We're going to be covering "Silent Night, Deadly Night" and “Anna and the Apocalypse".

I’m thinking of ending this show, because this episode is YUGE and we may never top it.

You know the Cream Team. Now it’s time to meet the SCREAM Team! Matt and Paris will be recording the DIE!gest in the off-weeks of the mainline podcast. What should you expect? Well really it can be whatever we want it to be, so long as the movies or topics fall in the horror genre. To start we’re going to be selecting double features to watch and discuss, with this first episode covering Rob Zombie’s first two films, “House of 1000 Corpses” and “The Devil’s Rejects”. You can expect comparatively shorter episodes (45 minutes to 1 hour), appearances from the other members of the Cream Team (Travis frequently, and Tom…well, who knows), and lots of (s)laughter.

Tom is out this week, but we’ve brought in fan-favorite Paris to fill his shoes! This is a little bit of an unconventional episode, but we figured now would be a good time to cover 2020 releases we’ve caught up with since our last recording.

It’s been awhiiiiiiile, since we have…posted a new episode. We’re back with a vengeance after a Spring hiatus of four months. Matt is leaving for Florida at the end of June, so we figured we should probably get our shit together and try recording remotely. This episode is that first attempt. Please join us as we discuss “Da 5 Bloods”, the new Spike Lee joint from Netflix. We also tackle “Do The Right Thing”, which was a first-time watch for two of us. Please excuse Tom’s poor audio quality, as Travis is currently in possession of his recording mic. That should hopefully be fixed in time for Episode 79. Thanks for sticking around, and we hope you enjoy this episode! 0:00 – Introductions 11:03 – “Da 5 Bloods” Spoiler-Free Review 30:56 – “Do The Right Thing” Retrospective Review 47:08 – What We’ve Been Watching Music Intro: JU$T – Run the Jewels Outro: House Warning Party – Joyce Manor

The previous decade gave us many great things: Cardi B, nacho fries from Taco Bell, Minecraft, and Supreme Overlord Trump, among other touchstones. We saw the atmospheric rise of Marvel Studios and the oversaturation of the streaming market. To mark the occasion, we assembled our lists of the Top 10 Films of the 2010s. If you’re a long-time listener you can probably guess a lot of our picks, but we’re here to entertain. We’re guessing you’ll be pleasantly surprised (or infuriated) by a few of our choices.
