    Episode 96 | Session 9 (2001)

    🦽 We are very excited to be talking about this indie psychological horror gem from the early 2000s. It does have a small cult following, but maybe it's brand new for a lot of you. In this episode we will discuss the effectiveness of the film's atmosphere on its shoestring budget, explore the ambiguity of the session 9's horror, and discuss the film's correlation to true crime stories. We'll also nominate which characters we think were most deserving of death, so be sure to stick around til the end of the episode.
