Lee and Paul have a talk about a classic slasher shot in Lee's home province of Nova Scotia, "My Bloody Valentine" (1981), directed by George Mihalka. Much of the talk revolves around the restored gore scenes that were cut from the original release, how this film speaks to both Lee and Paul as Canadian and American East coast boys respectively, and the small town East coast economic realities the film may or may not be directly commenting on. And, of course, there's just a lot of geeking-out about how good a slasher it is in general. You could say they mined a lot from this one. Get it? They dug deep? Okay, we'll see ourselves out.
