The Rule of Scary
There are two kinds of people—scary movie lovers and those who require a nightlight. In this podcast, Jason & Andrew, lifelong best friends on extreme opposite ends of the horror genre appreciation spectrum, watch critically acclaimed horror films and discuss whether or not they apply to the “Rule of Scary”.

Andrew and Jason review Weapons (2025)
Weapons is about a small town called Maybrook where 17 third-grade children mysteriously vanish at 2:17 AM, leaving only one boy, Alex, behind. Come check out this beauty, it has so much to offer. I'm talking, a drunk school teacher, a funny meth head, a hot dog lunch, that lady form Uncle Buck, odd forking, and maybe the identity of my son's actual father! (Hint, its Josh Brolin)
#GOO...
Andrew and Jason review Poltergeist (1982).
Some, just regular, people have a family and then some bad things happen. This film is a really thorough look at the breakdown of the nuclear family after a television goes on the blink. Stick around for drunk and entitled paranormal researchers from the University and a very small woman with a big stage presence.
