Oh hey! This thing on? Uh, hi!

We're not dead. We have five recorded episodes already up our sleeves and it's time to reopen all those wounds, starting with Neil Marshall (!!!!!!) and Janine Pipe.

Thanks for your patience the last two weeks of no episodes. I (Terry) am feeling much better today and tomorrow's episode with @auroragorealis.bsky.social is so much fun. So check out For Sale by Exorcist and, if you haven't watched it, go check out Unico in the Island of Magic and be ready!

We couldn't record Little Cuts this week because Terry was dealing with a blizzard and power outage. Right in the middle of the blizzard, though, we chatted with the legendary John Harrison. It's not often we get a guest whose movie was its own Scarred for Life episode.

Coming Monday.
