Scary Movie and a Sandwich
A show about comfort foods and scary stuff with host Artem Yatsunov. Each episode we pair a perfect sandwich with a carefully curated horror movie, and we discuss, digest and dive deep into what the movie and the sandwich are really about. A love letter to the two best genres of food and film.

Monos & Arepas with Nic Adams - The HOT Season
"We're not actually about to watch a cow get killed on-screen, are we?" Over the mountains and into the jungle, this week we're packing Arepas in our lunch-boxes, saying goodbye to our childhoods, and plunging into the carnage of war as we get unraveled by Monos (2019). Kids be crazy and war is hell! I'm joined by Nic Adams, an NYC-based playwright, producer and director to discuss fond memories of our childhoods while munching on authentic Colombian Arepas from La Maria Restaurant in North Hollywood, LA.
This is one of our more soulful, introspective, nostalgic and funny episodes, but we are tackling some heavy topics - so please take care and mind the Content Warnings: teenagers engaging in sexually explicit behavior, war, animal slaughter, drug abuse, and suicide.
