    About this Episode

    Hosts: Emrys and Katie

    Guest: Gary

    In our Nineteenth episode we meet Gary, who loves horror, and says he’s more affected by it since becoming a parent.

    We enter the tedious fifth season of lockdown, we fear the lack of new TV content to come, we associate custard cremes with horror movies, we watch the wrong film, we’re allowed to use a toaster, we discuss our favourite toys and the ones we always wanted but never got, we reminisce about the Argos catalogue, we play with matches, we get killed with a pogo stick, we learn the rules of defeating a Leprechaun, we find the paint scheme for the house the scariest part of the movie, we’re “90’s feminists,” and we also discuss the movies Child's Play (1988) and Leprechaun.
