After contributing to The Pod and the Pendulum's 300th episode on the 25 best horror films of the 21st century, we decided to run through our individual lists for listeners.

How did we each approach the task? (hint: thank god for Letterboxd) Which film(s) appear on both lists? And what movies will top our individual lists?! Don't scroll if you don't wanna know!

Spit out that cherry pit and get ready to meet a horny little devil because we're discussing George Miller's 1987 adaptation of John Updike's satirical feminist(?) novel The Witches of Eastwick!

Join us as we go all in on the production troubles this film had. From the studio putting the pressure on Miller to some casting snafus with Susan Sarandon and Cher, it's a wonder this thing turned out as well as it did!

Plus: Jack Nicholson's scene-stealing performance, gagging over cherry pit-laden vomit, debating sequel ideas, and wondering why Michelle Pfeiffer has nothing to do in this movie?

Here's a sneak peek at our all new Patreon episode on Scott Derrickson's sequel Black Phone 2, a film that confounded us almost as much as it bored us.

*Correction: We refer to the stylistic choice during Gwen's dream sequences as 16mm when it's actually Super 8. Our apologies!
