The boys return to the John Carpenter watch series with his '90s Lovecraftian offering: IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS (1994) alongside two very special guests: Brandon and Simon. The gang discusses what they watched this week and their latest additions to their watchlists before doing a dive deep into the film, its lore, Carpenter's vision, Sam Neill's overall awesomeness, and more. Tune in to hear more about the mysterious Sutter Cane, some Stephen King references, and discover whether or not John Trent is living in fiction or reality! Next week, Curtis will serve up his next canon pick with Peter Jackson's horror-comedy splatterfest DEAD ALIVE (1992). Before THE LORD OF THE RINGS, before HEAVENLY CREATURES, there was DEAD ALIVE!!
