  • The Conjuring: Warren Peace (with Katie Hettenbach)
    Oct 22 2025

    Forgive us our sins, we are making another Conjuring. For Halloween, we thought it fitting to do the most franchise-y horror series ever. Join professional charlatans, Ian, Sam, and Spencer- plus special guest Katie Hettenbach (Fangoria)- to uncover the most insidious evil the Warrens ever faced: a crisis of faith. Will Ed survive his next several heart attacks? Will Lorainne wear a bigger, plaider pantsuit? Will Matt Rife release even more chaos into the world? Find out in The Conjuring: Warren Peace. If you don't like this episode, it's because the devil made us do it.

  • Final Destination: Fire and Ice (with Mike Bedard)
    Oct 7 2025

    I've had a premonition! You listen to this podcast and then fall into a Rube Goldberg machine. On this episode, we're looking at the Final Destination franchise, starring the great Tony Todd. We've been on planes, trains, and automobiles, but we have yet to explore a boat tragedy. Join surviving writers, Ian, Sam, and Spencer– and special guest Mike Bedard (/Film, Looper)– as we assess the convoluted rules of death, the 2000-ness of teens in these movies, and the invisible hand of...life? All aboard the final voyage of the worst cruise ever.

  • Before 4ever (with Emi Schaufeld)
    Sep 24 2025

    It's the Before Trilogy! In 1994, a couple met on a train in Vienna. In 2003, they re-met and started over together. In 2012, they confronted the problems in their relationship. And in 2210 they are doing it all over again, and again, and again. Join Richard Linklater's ghostwriters, Ian, Sam, Spencer, and returning guest Emi Schaufeld (Rockstar Games), as we ask the questions people have been asking since Bill Clinton's presidency: How do we secure the rights to Ethan Hawke's and Julie Delpy's likenesses? What picturesque European cities are left in a post-apocalyptic wasteland? Is it better to live forever as a robot or a vampire? Only time will tell.
