Do you like scary movies? We have one for ya! This week with Mister Watson’s pick, he brings us a Feature Review of a Horror film from Thailand called The Medium (2021), and Jay argues that it has some “immoral filmmaking,” which of course, is characteristic of Mister Watson’s Horror picks… Welcome to Horror Movie Weekly, Episode 109.

And we always reveal next week’s pick at the end of every show, so you can watch along with us and be prepared for the following episode. Join us, and thanks for listening!
