In season 1, episode 1, the maiden voyage of Spooky Asian Club, hosts Br00TaL Dan and Banana Chan dive into the 1998 Japanese film Ring and the 2002 English adaptation The Ring. They also talk about the movie Presence (2024). In the final act, Danny and Banana introduce a segment called Slaughterboxd, a silly little game that you, the listeners can play along at home as we try to guess the ratings of unhinged reviews found on Letterboxd.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
