Hello, horror lovers... I want to play a game. Join Keith and a new guest as they go down the rabbit hole of discussing horror's bloody, escape room-themed soap opera. From the original modern classic to every subsequent sequel, spin-off, and prequel, it's a Saw-stravaganza!

"Hell hath no fury like a mother scorned" is what the expression should have been.
