Ahh here we are in cold February... the unexpected winter sun England has been getting is a pure delight though, as is the spate of newish scary movie releases!
So make a tea, get comfy, and listen in as your horror movie besties tackle Zach Cregger's directorial debut, "Barbarian."
It's a doozy of an episode as Jenny kicks things off with a film summary haiku, then we discuss which Sarsgard is creepy and which one is hot, there's a "rave of screams" for the sound design, and our heroine Tess does everything right... until she doesn't.
It's not all silliness though, as your whorror-hosts explore fatal flaws, gender stereotypes, social commentary, and attempt to answer the question: just who is the real barbarian here?
