Published: Oct. 17, 2024, midnight

John Landis\u2019 horny horror-comedy indulges many of the series\u2019 worst impulses with its tale of a seductive cryptid. Max Landis earned his first screenwriting credit with his father\u2019s entry in Masters of Horror\u2019s first season. It\u2019s an auteurist effort in the worst sense, blending plenty of misogyny into its tonal soup.\xa0\n\nBennett offers a hot take for the ages about the genre mashups and the boys weigh the merits of Landis\u2019 careers in both horror and comedy.\xa0Put on your hunting vests and check it out.\xa0\n\nCreated by Mick Garris, Masters of Horror was a two-season series on Showtime that challenged genre legends to create an hour-long horror film. Follow along as Bennett and Jim are forced to spend no more than 20 minutes discussing each episode from the first season of the series or face a room full of poisonous gas.
