And in the spirit of blurring the lines between reality and fiction, the Beard and the Dick watch and review Ruggero Deodato's infamous "Cannibal Holocaust" (1980) to kick things off.

But first the boys review the 1974 film "Peopletoys" aka "Devil Times Five" aka "The Horrible House on the Hill" by Sean MacGregor and David Sheldon. Many adults are murdered by insane children.
