Jim and A.Ron are taking a trip back to the mid 80s where PG-13 means you can’t swear, but violent crime is fine. The cast of Cat’s Eye makes you say, “I’ve seen this actor somewhere…” This horror anthology will shock and surprise in a way only media from the 80s can. Tune in for a purr-ectly good time. Thank you to Kaitlin for commissioning this episode! And Happy Birthday Paul!
