Robbie is joined by Andrew AKA Bladedrummer to discuss horror from the perspective of a content creator who is not actually a big fan of the genre. 1 month just simply cannot contain the love and discussions of the cultural impact of horror.   

Vampires. Oh buddy, vampires. We're talking about the FX series What We Do In The Shadows today and breaking down how a fantastic film can ultimately be made even better by a fantastic show.

This week we're talking about a phenomenon that has captured the hearts, minds and imaginations of the entire world while most of us are sheltering in place. I'm talking about the number 1 show on Netflix for several weeks, The Tiger King. Why is everyone talking about it? Can it really be that good? Is Joe Exotic really that crazy? Yes. Yes he is. This one is a must listen.

The boys are back! Though we all wish it was under better circumstances. With Covid-19 sweeping through the world and millions of people practicing social distancing and in self quarantine, we thought the best way to come back was to disciss pandemic films. There has been a huge up tick in rentals and downloads for the movie "contagion" but there are so many other amazing films that deserve appreciation too. Enjoy and stay safe out there!

In this episode we have a very special guest. When Robbie went to Columbus to play in the SCG tournament, he met a very talented film maker who was selling her latest film, Tournament. After watching it a few times, ya just knew we had to have her on. Luckily she was excited to chat, and now you all get to listen to it!
