The line between horror film and thriller is something that comes up a lot in film nerd circles. Is Silence of the Lambs a horror film or a thriller?

I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we put on our squid’s and start reliving weekend roller skating trips are fellow ghouls and VIP’s at The Retinal Fetish, Mike, Jackie, and Ryan.

Topics of discussion in this episode include the most unsettling VR experience you could ever have; we brainstorm other scenarios for Squid clips, which include mundane paperwork and boring relationship moments; and finally, we break down why the movie failed at the box office and why it may be the fault of everyone’s favorite cyber smuggler, Johnny Mnemonic.
