Our next movie is kind of a wild card. I don’t know a thing about it except that I think the name is stupid. People seem to be liking it tho, and my cohosts were intrigued that it was described as ‘disturbing,’ so here we are. Join us next time to discuss The Dark and the Wicked, which is available to rent now. Here’s a trailer for ya, see what you think. I’m going in blind, myself. Might as well take advantage of not knowing a thing.
