From the vault: We're curating our greatest hits ahead of our September 3rd relaunch 😱 This one's extra special—it's our 100th episode 🎉 We reviewed The Cabin in the Woods (dir. Drew Goddard, co-written by Joss Whedon, starring Chris Hemsworth, Kristen Connolly, and Fran Kranz) from our own forest cabin (literally) 🌲🔪

This episode originally aired May 31st, 2021, and is really a before-and-after when you compare it to last week’s From the Vault episode (I Know What You Did Last Summer). We break down the film's slasher archetypes, its meta-commentary on horror movie tropes, the behind-the-scenes drama with MGM and Lionsgate, and debate whether this cult classic horror-comedy is actually scary—plus our most memorable kills and a monster catalog rundown.

We're back with new episodes (in full video!) starting September 3rd. And you get to help decide what's on our return slate! Head to scarymoviepod.com to vote: Victorian Psycho versus the new Resident Evil. Voting closes September 10th.
