Horror VS Reality

On today's episode, Kendrah and Anastasia take on the infamous Men Behind the Sun and the horrific human experimentation that took place at Japan's Unit 731 during WW2.

This is the first episode of the new season format (so we can have much needed breaks between research and recording periods) It also marks the first episode with Kendrah as the permanent new co-host. To celebrate Kendrah's arrival, we decided to cover an infamous Canadian serial killer: Robert Pickton aka the Pig Farm Killer. We also watched the fairly terrible 2022 film, Pig Killer that is loosely based on his life. Enjoy!

The hiatus is almost over, but until then, enjoy the episode of AOTKO that Morgan guested on over the summer. Enjoy this short but sweet film segment recap about a killer fetish doll.

HVR will be back later this month, until then, enjoy the first episode of Anastasia's new podcast, What in the Wide World of Cinema?! Strap in for a lot of weird wild rides through cinema, and subscribe to the new pod for more trippy film journeys.

Keith returns to co-pilot today's episode, Anastasia and he break down the terrifying (and short) ocean terror, Open Water, and discuss the real life disappearance of Tom and Eileen Lonergan. Plus, Heather's plays fast and loose with the dearly departed's legacies; Keith and Ana will never scuba dive or spelunk; and Keith is still working on that novel.

Trent Manning returns as guest host to discuss the 1931 classic that inspired the thriller genre, Fritz Lang's M. We also discuss the scumbags who inspired M's antagonist, chiefly Peter Kurten. Plus, Fight Club quotes, Art the Clown, and Borders' criterion aisle.
