Troy and Roger head into the eerily echoing halls of Danvers State Hospital to unpack the slow-burn psychological horror of Session 9. They dive into the film’s creeping atmosphere, frayed character dynamics, and Gordon’s unsettling unraveling — all set against the perfect backdrop of asbestos and existential dread. The guys discuss the infamous therapy tapes, lingering trauma, and why this movie might just be scarier the second time around. Is it supernatural? Is it something more rationally sinister? Either way, things go off the rails fast — and not just for the asbestos crew. Tune in for a moody, layered breakdown of one of the most quietly disturbing horror films of the early 2000s.

Episode 160 – I Know Who Killed Me (2007)
Things get twice as confusing this week as Roger and Troy tackle the 2007 Lindsay Lohan fever dream, I Know Who Killed Me. With one Lohan playing two identities, the guys wade through a swamp of giallo-inspired visuals, inexplicable plot twists, and more prosthetics than a Halloween store clearance sale. They dig into the film’s themes of trauma, identity, and — you guessed it — amputation, while wondering if the real mystery is how this script got greenlit. As they dissect the character inconsistencies and bizarre symbolism, the conversation drifts from thoughtful analysis to sheer bafflement. Come for the Lohan deep dive, stay for the snarky side-eye at blue lighting, stripper montages, and storytelling that forgets where it’s going halfway through.

Episode 159 – Mikey (1992)
Troy and Roger put their parental skills to the test and take on Mikey, a lesser-known thriller about a dangerously disturbed child hiding behind an angelic face. They dig into the film’s opening scenes, explore the messy dynamics between characters, and question the logic—or lack thereof—behind the adults in Mikey’s life. The conversation covers themes of childhood trauma, parental neglect, and the strange decisions made by authority figures who really should know better. They also take issue with the film’s rushed ending and lack of character development. It’s a thoughtful (and occasionally exasperated) look at a movie that tries to do a lot—and doesn’t always succeed.
