It's episode 165 and it's probably a glitch...
Unfriended (2014) tells the story of a group of friends who are Skyping, instant messaging, texting, Facebooking, emailing and Instagramming each other one evening - when all of a sudden all of those messaging platforms appear to become haunted by the spirit of their dead schoolfriend.
Is it a glitch? A hacker? Or are they really being haunted over the internet from beyond the grave?
We talk about the difficulties of sympathising with the world's worst collection of people; the benefits and limitations of shooting an entire movie over Skype; and there's never been a better reason to turn off your computer and go outside.
Whatever happens, one thing's for sure: listen sweetheart you're a f**king asshole and if you don't download right now, I'll come over there and knock the trash out of your ears.
Next week, it's the spookiest day of the year in Halloween (2018)

It's episode 163 and we're paell-ing on the gore in possibly the best found-footage film ever made!
REC (2007) follows news reporter Angela, and her cameraman Pablo, as they follow Barcelona firemen on a routine night of work. What could possibly go wrong? Oh, just hordes of the rabid undead and heinous religious abuse.
We talk Spanish history, the best splat sound in horror history and the benefits of a little bit of health & safety planning.
Whatever happens, one thing's for sure: If this is a pain in the ass, just cut, okay?

Whatever happens, one things for sure: Sara loves her juicy fruit. And Aaron loves to kill.
