This podcast used to be about John Carpenter but we watched all his stuff. Now Brett, Dylan, and Tucker watch and talk about a set of movies revolving around a certain theme, such as movies that take place in a tall building, holiday horror, nostalgia films, and more. It's a very high-brow affair.
It's finally to declare a winner in the battle for Best Of The Worst Of The Best! Which movie will be the best of the worst movies in a directors filmography? Will it be Gus Van Sant's Psycho, Robert Altman's Popeye, or Jeremy Saulnier's Hold The Dark? I feel like if you've been listening along, you probably already know the answer.

This week, we're talking about Brett's pick for Best Of The Worst Of The Best, with Jeremy Saulnier's Hold The Dark.
