Max, Victor, and Kitty have a lot of opinions on horror movies and they want to share them with you. Please listen as we discuss and sometimes rip apart horror movies
Due to some issues the week of this recording we had to reschedule Salem's Lot for a later date. Instead, Max and Victor discuss the first two episodes of the TV show Kingdom. What happens when the Zombie Apocalypse takes over Joseon (a fictional area similar to what is today, Korea)? More importantly, how can the zombies be weaponized for political gain? Find out how the guys feel about the show in this weeks episode.
***Please note that due to some health issues Kitty was unable to participate the following week so the guys ended up watching Kingdom instead. The Hounds will review Salem's Lot (the TV miniseries) at a later date.*** What would happen if Netflix made A Quiet Place? We don't have to ask ourselves anymore since the Hounds watched and reviewed The Silence. Which was basically A Quiet Place, but with smaller creatures and without John Krazinski.
