Next we'll be checking out Southbound, an indie-horror anthology directed (and produced) by Radio Silence. For those of you keeping track, Radio Silence is responsible for one of our favorite V/H/S segments, 10/31/98, and we've been pretty excited to see what else they've been up to (haven't gotten around to checking out Devil's Due yet...). We're excited to watch & discuss this one!

Coming up next...wait for it...it's The Witch. Considered by some to be "literally the most satanic experience outside of meeting satan himself," this movie has a lot of hype to live up to. If it ends up being a piece of shit, I don't know that Amy will ever recover from the disappointment (but she'll know how Jamie felt when she saw the movie Troy). So join us for episode 42 when we'll be talkin bout some witches.

Synopsis: A woman with a troubled past takes a job in England as a nanny. However, when she arrives, she is surprised to learn that instead of a little human boy, her charge is actually a creepy, porcelain doll. She's required to follow a very specific set of rules to keep from upsetting young Brahmsy. When strange things begin to happen around the house, Greta realizes maybe there's more to this little doll than just a creepy face.
