About this episode
Paris Hilton agrees that this episode is hot! Mark welcomes longtime friend, collaborator, horror lover, and actress Kit Sheehan back on the pod to take a trip to the House of Wax from 2005. The two reminisce about seeing this "remake" together just weeks before their senior prom and graduation 20 years ago. Plus, they share stories about making a spoof of this slashfest called House of SAKS 5th Avenue, where Kit naturally played Paris. Kit praises the great behind-the-scenes reality show Movie Life: House of Wax that aired on MTV, which you can find on YouTube. Also, other 2005 staples The OC, Brokeback Mountain, and Crash get shout-outs!
