About this episode
Holy hymen, Batman! Ignore the Scream rules and lose your virginity asap! Mark welcomes horror movie lover Carlos from @slasher_junkie to take a virtual trip to Cherry Falls, Virginia and celebrate the 25th anniversary of this Scream-inspired slasher movie that was supposed to be in theaters but ended up airing on the USA Channel in 2000, becoming the most expensive TV movie ever made. Oh Daddy! Brittany Murphy acting absolutely feral, a communal sex party, a great queer character, and a killer with unique fashion sense. Oh, and David Lynch?! Shout-out to Suncoast Video back in the day, plus the guys share their thoughts on the Scream 7 trailer!
