Not feeling the holiday spirit? Neither are we! Comedian Honey Pluton joins me for an episode that will surely land us on some kind of list (if we aren't on there already!) We discuss a collection of films that embody the anti-Amerikkkan insurgent spirit. We also rant about our unhinged political beliefs.
Happy Halloween, perverts! Recurring guest and Halloween historian Lucé Tomlin-Brenner joins me for a chat about horny horror.

We discuss these questions as well as our personal canon of horny horror icons like Jean Rollin, Jess Franco, Paul Morrissey, and David Cronenberg.
