“Our original plans died in a fire, so we threw something together about the Grinch. Enjoy!” Unlikely underdog for christmas slasher "classic", 2022's The Mean One is an odd take on the Dr. Seuss children's story. Jacob and Peter do their first recording session physically in person together, just after a lively Christmas party.

A game of revenge that features a week of sharks, each bigger than the next! Peter and Jacob venture into their first Asylum film in this wet and wild killer shark film. Dubious special effects and questionable lines abound. Speculation about how much horse tranquilizers a person should take is only the tip of the shark fin.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year. We round out the end of the year by reviewing the infamous Christmas cult sensation Krampus and the recent release of the new Naughty cut of the film. How could we not? It has kidnapping demons, David Koechner, anxiety-ridden holiday family dinners, evasive grandmas with shadowy pasts who simply refuse to speak English. Krampus is a good all-around film and a good starter for those unsure of if they want to dip their toe into, shall we say, meatier fare....
