"Till death do us part" takes on a whole new meaning. This week, we're reviewing Ready or Not, the 2019 horror-comedy hit from directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett! We follow Grace (Samara Weaving), a bride whose wedding night turns into a terrifying game of survival against her rich and ritualistic in-laws, played by a stellar cast including Adam Brody, Mark O'Brien, and Andie MacDowell. Join us as we discuss Weaving's star-making performance, the film's perfect blend of gore and laughs, and that absolutely explosive ending.

Abandoned Minds: A Review of Session 9

Welcome to an hour of escalating dread as we unpack Brad Anderson's 2001 minimalist masterpiece, Session 9.

Shot on location in the chilling, decaying halls of the real Danvers State Hospital (The Danvers Asylum), this film is a masterclass in psychological horror that relies on atmosphere and mounting tension, not cheap jump scares. We join an asbestos abatement crew racing to clear the facility in a week, only to discover they're up against something far more toxic than dust.

What We Cover:

• The Descent: We track the terrifying psychological unraveling of the Hazmat crew, led by the stressed-out Gordon (a powerhouse performance by Peter Mullan), as pressure, past trauma, and the sheer weight of the asylum's history push them to their breaking point.

• The Tapes: The chilling, central mystery of the film—the discovery of old patient therapy sessions. We discuss the nine audio recordings, the case of Mary Hobbes, and the slow, shocking reveal of the dark personality known only as Simon in the titular "Session 9."

• Key Cast & Crew: Breaking down the intense, claustrophobic performances from a stellar ensemble cast, including David Caruso, Josh Lucas, Stephen Gevedon (who co-wrote the script with Brad Anderson), and Brendan Sexton III.

• Is it Haunted? We debate the film's brilliant ambiguity: is the horror in the hospital's dark past and the entity "Simon," or is it a purely psychological breakdown driven by guilt and stress?

If you're looking for an underrated horror movie, a deep dive into asylum horror and found footage elements, or a chilling psychological thriller that will stick with you long after the final credits, press play.

NO! NOT THE BEES! A Celebration of The Wicker Man (2006)

Forget folk songs and subtle dread. Grab your bear suit and prepare for an hour of pure Cage Rage as we dive into the hilariously disastrous and undeniably iconic 2006 remake of The Wicker Man!

Directed by Neil LaBute and starring producer Nicolas Cage as police officer Edward Malus, this film transforms a subtle folk horror classic into an unintentional masterpiece of comedy. Lured to the remote, neo-pagan island of Summersisle by his ex-fiancée Willow (Kate Beahan) to find her missing daughter Rowan, Malus encounters a matriarchal community of hostile women, mysterious rituals, and, most importantly, bees.

What We Cover:

• Hilariocity Defined: We break down the most bizarre and meme-worthy moments: the legendary "Not the Bees!" scene, the infamous bear-suit punch, Cage's aggressive questioning of the silent male villagers, and the overall unhinged performance that cemented this film's cult classic status.

• The Original vs. The Remake: Why the shift from the 1973 film's religious conflict (Edward Woodward's devout Christian) to Cage's guilt-ridden, pill-popping cop completely derails the tone—and why that failure is exactly what makes the remake so entertaining.

• The Cast of Cultists: Featuring strong women like Ellen Burstyn as Sister Summersisle and Leelee Sobieski, who manage to keep straight faces while watching a man slowly lose his mind.

• Final Destination: Summersisle: The shocking, over-the-top ending that reveals the entire search was a setup for the ultimate human sacrifice and sends Edward Malus into the Wicker Man screaming.

If you love bad movies done well, Nicolas Cage at his 'Cagest', or just want to laugh at a truly bizarre horror movie remake, this episode is your honey trap!
