Description

It's a very Aughtsterion holiday, as the fifth season of the pod debuts with Eli Roth's latest (and possibly best??) effort: Thanksgiving. Based on the trailer for a fake movie of the same name that rolled in between Grindhouse movies back in 2007, this Thanksgiving, as some anonymous internet commenter described it, like if someone made a 2000s remake of the non-existent 1970s movie the original trailer depicted. In other words, it's basically fantastic. Jordan is boosting it as her favorite Roth of all time, while Sam sees it as a close contender with his top choice, Hostel 2, but no matter where that discussion ends up, it means the audience wins. Roth has a way with depicting horrible people doing horrible things. And while his love of gore has never abated since the torture tourism era, his level of misogynist sleaze thankfully has. (At least... for now!) So, join your co-hosts to celebrate a most rare scary movie gem — the Turkey Day slasher — as well as the maturation of Rick Hoffman on screen, the presence of Addison Rae, and yes, even a musical about Jesus. It will all make sense once you listen, promise!
