A fun, casual, introspective look at all things horror! We talk about our favorites as well as current movies, books, video games, and of course, podcasts in the genre! It’s like the “cool dad” who let you watch “The Exorcist” WAY too early got his own radio show!
The Dads finally discuss one of Leland's all time favorites: Steven King's Silver Bullet. Who is the werewolf? Why is everyone in town drinking all the time? Why does a wheelchair need a v-twin engine? We ask the tough questions on Episode 12!
*Trigger Warning* This film covers a disabled character and some prejudice against him. Don't worry! They get what's coming to 'em, but we just wanted to let you know. <3 Dad
