About this episode

Wax it! Here's a belated treat (without maggots!) for your ears. Yes, Valentine's Day was weeks ago now... but we can enjoy the horror movie Valentine any time, right? Mark brings @slasher_junkie Carlos back for Part 2 of our Marley Shelton 2001 girl power double feature discussion to celebrate the cupid slasher's 25th year. This is Carlos' favorite post-Scream slasher, so they share their favorite kill, heroine, cutest boy, and agree that "plump" Dorothy, played by Jessica Capshaw, is so annoying. Also, shout-out to casting director Lisa Beach!
