We bring you some new Horror movie reviews of Cuckoo (2024), What You Wish For (2024), Trap (2024) and Kill Your Lover. We also bring you a hybrid sort of blending of two specialty segments where Mackula and Dr. Shock discuss Thelma Todd. Uncle Greg tackles some “ants” with his Monsters on the Mantle review of Them! (1954). Dave Zee and Jay of the Dead probably run afoul of NHM’s HR Department while talking about host “standees…” Oh, and Dr. Walking Dead brings us an M. Night Shyamalan filmography retrospective!
