It's been a minute, so Johnathon and Levi go it alone for a special two-hander on Lucio Fulci's 1979 gut-muncher Zombie — a.k.a. Zombi 2, a.k.a. Zombie Flesh Eaters, a.k.a. an unofficial Dawn of the Dead sequel that Italian producers cheerfully stole the title for because who's going to sue from across an ocean. What was supposed to be Levi's formal speech crowning Johnathon the undisputed tastemaster of '70s and '80s horror instead turns into Levi's unprepared love letter to the film. Along the way: the greatest zombie-vs-shark scene ever committed to celluloid (it's Shark Month, so it counts), Fabio Frizzi's hypnotic synth score that everyone mistakes for Goblin, the ethics of Italian ADR, and a spirited defense of slow zombies as God intended. Gory, funny, and only occasionally about American healthcare.

A Man Gets to a Certain Age: True Detective Season 1 in One Sitting (EDIT FIXED)
A man gets to a certain age. He thinks he knows how to cover a whole season of prestige TV in one sitting, but. Four Southern boys did the unthinkable: the entire first season of True Detective — all eight episodes — in a single, sprawling, totally sober episode. It opens with a quote from Robert W. Chambers and ends somewhere out past the edge of the M-brane, and in between we argue about whether this is even horror (it is), why Louisiana is the only state that can be that beautiful and that ugly at once, and whether Marty Hart's real problem is the job or the man.

"Squeal" Sounds the Same in Swedish (Let the Right One In)
Johnathon and Levi brave subtitles, freezing Scandinavian landscapes, and their own questionable tangents to discuss Let the Right One In (2008) — a Swedish vampire film so quiet and brutal it makes every American horror movie look like it's trying too hard. What starts as a love story between two lonely 12-year-olds slowly reveals itself as one of cinema's most unsettling grooming narratives, and the guys dig into all of it: Nordic noir as a critique of social democracy, why the best monster movies never show you the monster, the absolute banger of a pool scene, Eli's gender and the history of the castrati, and whether that ending is romantic or deeply, deeply fucked up. Also: Epstein files, cocaine regrets, cargo shorts discourse, and why Texas is the American Australia. You know — the usual.
