Main Topic:

Tommy and DL are concluding their Halloween trilogy of laughably bad horror films with an inspired piece from back in the day: The Swarm (1978). Michael Caine joins a stellar cast with an unread script and side-stories galore in this 3-hour epic ripped to shreads by the Podcast Assemble duo.

Listen this week to hear about the dangers of bees, the unfortunate musings of entymologists, an overly intimate town with poor childcare and the death of one important director's career. You don't want to miss this episode!
