from Dark Night of the Podcast · host Troy Escamilla, Roger Conners
Troy and Roger escape the holiday madness by diving into the chaotic slasher antics of 1984's Splatter University.

They break down the mix of effective scares and unintentionally hilarious moments, all wrapped in pure 80s low-budget charm. Even with its many flaws, they agree the movie is bizarrely fun and exactly the kind of school experience they are glad they never had.
