Title: "Ten Commandments Killer"
Aired: 12/2/2015
Synopsis: The title pretty much says it all here. We learn the identity of the Ten Commandments Killer. It's a credit to the overall success of Hotel that Ryan Murphy & co. have managed to craft an interesting episode around the least interesting storyline of the season. Hard to complain about an episode with this much sweet, sweet March action.

We've talked about the trailer for our next movie before on the podcast, but now we are finally able to watch and review the actual movie. As much as we love Halloween and October, it feels good to move away from bigger, more "mass-market" horror films and get back into lesser-known horror. So join us next time when we'll be covering Goodnight Mommy.
