Poltergeist

Run away from the light! Go into the light! Whatever you do, check out this episode. Mike arrives demanding an apology from Dan for what he complained about in It Chapter 1 but doesn't mind in Tobe Hooper's Poltergeist (1982). Dan meets him halfway. The guys haven't seen this since they were 10 or 12 and talk about why the film holds up and how it's different to watch it as an adult. Topics of discussion include Spielberg's fingerprints, Jaws with ghosts, the face-melting scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark, and, again, how characters should behave in horror movies (or monster movies).
