In this episode Chris and Christin discuss the underrated 2015 Guillermo Del Toro ghost story, Crimson Peak. They discuss the severe mood of Jessica Chastain's outfits, try to figure out how to say Mia Wasikowaska's last name and (of course) Chris describes his color scheme theory of the movie. So pour a bloody Mary and Beware Crimson Peak! Then Christin tells Chris the true crime story of Martha Jule Beck and Raymond Fernandez, The Lonely Hearts Killers.

In this episode Chris and Christin are once again invaded by Brian. They all discuss (one of Chris's all time favorites) the 1979 classic Alien. Is it horror? Is it sci-fi? Is it...boring? (Christin only) They discuss the hotness of Tom Skeritt and where Sigourney Weaver got those tiny underwear. They also talk about the designs of HR Giger and how the movie Alien has become central to movie discussion and pop culture. Then we have another special guest! Elise comes on to once again show us that nature is more disturbing then any movie and talks about real parasites the Alien monster was based on. Grab your cat and get comfy in your pod!

In this episode Chris and Christin discuss the 1996 game changer Scream. First we get Chris's take on the series finale of Game of Thrones and his reaction to Brian taking his place last episode. Then they dive into the beauty of the 90s and ask important questions such as: What is Neve Campbell's acting style? How is Skeet Ulrich so greasy? How is David Arquette so adorable?
Then Christin tells Chris the most horrifying true crime story yet. She tells him the true crimes Kevin Williamson based his screenplay on: The Gainesville Ripper. (Listener discretion advised)

Christin is joined by a special guest...Brian is back! They decide they need to discuss the cultural juggernaut Game of Thrones. Is Game of Thrones horror? I don't know, do you think zombies, torture and child murder are horror?? They discuss the series finale (and fix it!) and the series overall. Spoilers galore. Then Christin tells Brian true violent historical events that George RR Martin based his stories on. She also struggles with roman numerals. Pull up a chair up by the fire and get a glass of giant's milk and tune in!

Chris and Christin welcome a special guest. Christin's dad! John Neal loves Stephen King, movies and true crime, so he fits right in! He has retired from college football so he stops by to give his take on the original Pet Sematary movie (that he had never seen, but watched because he is SDIB's #1 fan) and the 2019 Pet Sematary movie. Then they also touch on movies from Night of the Living Dead to Psycho to Duel to The Exorcist! John talks about all his (sometimes illegal) fun at the California drive in movies. It's a fun time!

Crack open a cold soda (don’t forget the straw!) and let’s discuss David Robert Mitchell’s It Follows! Christin & Chris tackle the ethics of “It Following” a past hookup, discuss entity-killing tactics, and make their cases for Greg v. Hugh (vs. Paul, whatever). Also, who will win the Iron Throne? Then Christin brings things down with info on violence against women and tells the story of the Baton Rouge serial killer.

In this episode Chris and Christin discuss the new Jordan Peele horror flick Us. They offer their early reactions after just seeing it! Chris has yet to devise any outlandish theories (don't worry he will). And Christin hasn't thought of a true crime (don't worry she will). How many Lost references will Christin make? How many Simpsons references will Chris make? Tether in to find out.

In this episode Chris and Christin get fancy with their first foreign movie, the 1988 Kiefer-less masterpiece, The Vanishing or Spoorloos. But first, they angrily discuss the Ted Bundy Netflix documentary, inviting questions on Mr. Bundy’s legal skills and whether or not Christin’s mom crossed Bundy’s path (probably not). Then they get into the movie and discuss golden eggs, 80's European fashion and the Faustian bargain ending. Will Chris and Christin also fall victim to foilé a deux? Tune in!
