The A Year in Horror patreon is HERE and the Talking Bollocks patreon is HERE. Pick your poison. Each channel will release all further episodes simultaneously, as if by magic going forward. 

What podcast has not put out an episode on 'Weapons' yet? A Year In Horror, that's who. Now, to be different, I thought that considering the film has been out for 10 days now we could go over some of the think pieces put about about the film and take a look at some of the stats. Also, it would probably not be best to listen to this episode unless you have seen 'Weapons'. This episode is raw with no edits and is just a few hours old.
