Weapons

This week on Xtra Butta, we grab our popcorn (and maybe some sage) to break down Weapons—the horror-thriller from Zach Cregger that asks the question: What if your favorite teacher, your town's nicest principal, a shady cop, and a random junkie all got sucked into a supernatural mess involving missing kids and one seriously evil great-aunt? Seventeen third graders vanish without a trace. A teacher becomes the town scapegoat. A grieving dad starts channeling Liam Neeson. Meanwhile, a heroin addict accidentally stumbles into the worst Airbnb basement of all time. And at the center of it all? Gladys—the great-aunt with vibes so creepy she makes the Wicked Witch of the West look like a life coach. We're talking POV storytelling, small-town paranoia, dark magic, talismans, addiction metaphors, and how Weapons somehow makes you question both witches AND the school system. Oh, and of course, we'll debate the big question: Would YOU survive in Maybrook, PA, or would you end up a magical battery in Gladys's basement? Grab your headphones, pour some extra butter on that popcorn, and join us as we dig into every spooky, twisty, WTF moment of Weapons. This one's going to get weird in the best possible way.
