Episodes

Hey film buds, this week we continue on our horror path with a follow-up to two earlier episodes, dedicated to the zombie classic and remake Dawn of the Dead, and we’re joined by friend of the show Sky Tilley.

On top of reviewing both films, Sky and Paul talk the IATSE strike authorizat...
