Richard Crouse joins Shane Hewitt for a genre-hopping double feature — starting with a walk through the “ABCs of Horror” and ending with a wild ride through pop culture’s strangest corners. In the first half, they dig into iconic horror films from A Quiet Place to Candyman, exploring what makes fear fun, cinematic, and unforgettable — plus spooky cocktails to match.

Then it’s over to the weird and wonderful: unmade Star Wars scripts, Elijah Wood wedding-crashing, and how the phrase “six seven” became a linguistic mystery. This episode blends the creepy with the curious, celebrating film, fandom, and the unexpected joys of storytelling.
