The Black Phone (2022)

Don’t talk to strangers… but listen to a couple of them discuss the 2022 Joe Hill, Scott Derrickson, and C. Robert Cargill collab, THE BLACK PHONE!! That’s right, we delve into the juicy production backstory of the project, explore our real-life trauma related to serial killers, examine the Wile E. Coyote aspect of the film’s plot, and discuss a nothingburger controversy that took over the internet for a whole week when it was released. All this, plus switchblade pinball, middle-aged napping schedules, grades of shine, magic tricks, driving with balloons, and swift and sudden edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! It’s 10 pm - do you know where this podcast is? It should be on the internet. Please let us know if it’s not.
