What if all your favorite creepy campfire stories came true—on a college campus?
This week, Jackie and Danielle are diving into Urban Legend (1998), the late-90s slasher that dared to ask: what if Bloody Mary, Pop Rocks, and a killer in a parka walked into a dorm room? Grab your flashlights and your nostalgia, because this No More Late Fees episode is dripping with 90s horror vibes and razor-sharp wit.
From the scream queens to the silly scares, our favorite Blockbuster besties break down everything that made this movie a cult classic (and everything that didn’t). Expect equal parts laughter, eye-rolling, and slasher-loving fun as they revisit this bloody slice of campus chaos.
In this episode: • Behind-the-scenes trivia and 90s production gossip
• Cast deep dive — Jared Leto, Tara Reid, Joshua Jackson, Rebecca Gayheart, and a scene-stealing Loretta Devine
• Roger Ebert’s eyebrow-raising review and why he might’ve been right (for once)
• The Scream effect and the teen-slasher boom of the late 90s • Iconic kills, horror clichés, and our favorite unintentional comedy moments

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship.
