    "Tell me you love me. You don't have to mean it, but just say it"


    On today's episode, we're heading into November by revisiting a teen thriller remake of Fatal Attraction from the early 00s. Let's jump in the pool and try to stay out of the deep end, while we visit the movie, Swimfan (2002).


    This movie isn't exactly great, but I do my best to break down these characters and plot, and try to wrap my brain around whether or not if this movie succeeds in what it's trying to do. Ultimately, it's a soapy teen thriller, and not a whole lot more.

    "I wanted to see you shoot"


    On today's episode, we're closing out the Halloween season by pulling up and covering one of the only gay-themed slasher films there is, and we're heading out to the West Hollywood Halloween Parade as we cover Hellbent (2004). Joining me for this episode is fellow horror lover and podcaster, Dave White, from Bring Me The Axe! Podcast.


    We go all over the place with this episode, and talk about how this movie is both a relic of the time and not the best film, but also, that it was a cool way to see some sort of overt gay characters being hacked up in a horror movie.
