Emma has finally managed to get everyone to watch Smile 2, and now we’re finally talking about it! Even with Nina having to sit this one out because they’re out of town, the rest of the hosts have plenty of things to talk about here.

Fresh off his standard setting run with Spider-Man, Sam Raimi storms in a return to his Evil Dead roots with Drag Me To Hell. Enjoy hearing the cast hash out whether or not Sam managed to stick the landing on his return to horror.

Picture this: It’s 2005, you just picked up Resident Evil 4 and your friends just asked you to go to this cool new movie that just came out that has more licensed needle drops than you can ever imagine. It’s a good day.

We’re talking about Alexandre Aja’s film High Tension in our first step into New French Extremity! Items included are: Conversation about whether the film is homophobic, talking about how much Ebert hated this one, and a hearty dose of Muse in some chase scenes.
