Mind Over Splatter
Dylan Ferguson, Sheldon Kilcullen, William O'Donnell and guests discuss, dissect, and debate horror movies. Each episode digs into a different subgenre, series, or style of flicks. We reappraise underseen or underrated gems, and (over-)analyze films from unusual angles. Sometimes we get into fights. Various expert guests will appear to provide context and vaunt their particular obsessions.
