Episode description

Pack your box lunch and hand us a piece of that possum over there because we're talking James Gunn's hilariously goopy directorial debut Slither (2006) for its 20th(!!!) anniversary!

Join us as we lament the box office bomb status of this clever little creature feature (you better believe we were both in the theater back in 2006, though!) and laud the impressive practical effects on display.

Plus: marveling at the Brenda blob, gagging (literally) at the Society-esque Grant Grant blob, laughing at squid stickers and learning all about cooters.
