This week, Sam joins Ben to resurrect a mid-00s classic/car crash – House of Wax (2005); you know, the one with the "See Paris Die' marketing campaign and Chad Michael Murray's gratuitous pectorals. WARNING: This episode is more 2005 than Tom Cruise jumping on a sofa, jeans and a nice top on a night out, and Mr and Mrs Smith. Listener discretion is advised.

Come at us – especially if you look like human Shrek (fire emoji). This podcast episode is definitely not sponsored by Caliwater; but, if you're reading this, V-Hudge... perhaps, it should be?
