In this episode, we continue our focus on anthology films by advancing to the beloved world of 80s horror. We check out Stephen King’s Cat’s Eye from 1985 directed by Lewis Teague. Michael shares his appreciation for the very MCU-like interconnected nature of King’s world in the film. Dustin champions the more critically maligned segment in the anthology and the tension of high-stakes gambling. But before all that Jason shares just how desensitized he is to extreme horror. Also, as our first go discussing King as a topic we spend some extra time discussing his career along with our favorite works and film adaptations. And so much more!
