Episode 56: John Carpenter Watch Series #20: MASTERS OF HORROR (CIGARETTE BURNS, 2005, & PRO-LIFE, 2006)

John and Curtis return to the John Carpenter watch series this week with special guest Simon for an exciting double bill: Carpenter's two episodes (CIGARETTE BURNS, starring Norman Reedus and Udo Kier, and PRO-LIFE, starring THE Ron Perlman and Caitlin Wachs) for the cult TV series MASTERS OF HORROR (RIP 2005-6). Before the discussion, the trio talk about what they added to their watchlists, as well as what they watched this week. Then the boys chat about which episode they liked best and why, Kodiak camping trip plans, some hot takes, and Udo Kier.  Curtis returns to his canon picks next week (and some Werner Herzog love) with Herzog's 2005 documentary GRIZZLY MAN, which looks at Timothy Treadwell's encounters with wild brown bears over a period of 13 years in Alaska.
