In this episode, Jon, Ryan, and Kearns gather around the blood-soaked banquet table to dig into Eli Roth’s Thanksgiving (2023), a pitch-perfect homage to holiday slashers, grindhouse grit, and small-town hysteria.
From Black Friday mayhem to Pilgrim masks and meat thermometers in all the wrong places, they dissect how Roth turns a fake trailer into a full-on feast of gore, gags, and gruesome cheer.
Who lives? Who gets basted? And is Thanksgiving the best seasonal slasher in years?
Tune in for talk of genre tropes, teen scream archetypes, Roth’s return to form, and the eternal question: what would John Carpenter do?
