26 Movies from HELL is an A-Z journey through Cult, Weird, Exploitation and Rare film... one letter at a time. Each episode we take four films that start with the same letter (in order and selected by Dan, Bradley and their guest) and put forth a poll (currently on twitter, we may change this) to help us narrow the discussion to just three films, with the fourth and last place film being thrown into the PIT, never to be heard from again.
This week Dan and Bradley are welcoming the ridiculously nice and questionably hip, the movie genius, Carmelita Valdez McKoy Carmelita on Twitter/X
