Troy and Roger throw this 1970s horror oddity a bone as they tackle Dogs — the film where man’s best friend goes rogue and wreaks havoc on a sleepy college campus. They sink their teeth into the killer animal craze of the era, the film’s meandering science talk (hello, pheromones), and a cast of some characters so unlikable you might just root for the dogs. The guys dissect everything from an unhinged dog show attack that manages somehow to be dull to academic apathy in the face of canine carnage, all while questioning how this film manages to be both absurdly dull and oddly entertaining. With deadpan dialogue, confused professors, and a plot that thinks it's smarter than it is, Dogs is a strange little beast — and they guys are here for every shaggy, blood-soaked minute of it. Bonus points for an ending that practically begs for a feline-led sequel that unfortunately never came to be.

Grab your canoes and your questionable 1980s short shorts — this week, Troy and Roger head to Camp Stonewater to take on The Burning, the cult slasher that gave us Cropsey, chaos, and one seriously traumatizing raft scene. They dive into the film’s underdog status in the slasher canon, Tom Savini’s unforgettable gore effects, and some surprisingly layered character moments hiding beneath all the sleaze. With plenty of debate over awkward camp crushes, creepy peeping Toms, and why Glazer may be the worst, the guys explore the film’s take on gender roles, toxic masculinity, and camp politics. They also unpack how The Burning blends urban legend with slasher tropes — sometimes brilliantly, sometimes not-so-subtly. It’s a blood-soaked trip down memory lane, filled with tender moments, brutal kills, and just enough 80s weirdness to make you think twice about summer camp.

Troy and Roger shine a light on Darkness Falls — a film where the Tooth Fairy trades quarters for body counts and darkness is literally deadly. They reminisce about early 2000s horror nostalgia while unpacking the film’s chaotic editing, questionable character ages, and a plot that feels like it lost its baby teeth too soon. From inconsistent lore to emotionless romance, the guys dig into what could have been a creepy cult classic… if the script had gotten the same love as the jump scares. They debate the effectiveness of the final girl, the over-the-top climax at the lighthouse, and whether studio meddling yanked this one right out from under the bed. Despite its flaws, they find some fun in the madness — and maybe just a little irrational fear of the dark.
