Poor George. He's never seen any movies. Rather than mourn their dear friend, Travis and Dan have taken it upon themselves to show him what he is missing. But they don't stop at showing him famous movies! They also help George to understand how each film fits into the Great Narrative of Film. Not only THAT the film of the week is significant, but WHY and HOW. Also, they make jokes and stuff.

George has seen Psycho, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Halloween. And until recording this episode he did realize he was missing one final piece in the "standard narrative of how we got slasher movies." So, in honor of the Christmas season and the gap in George's movie knowledge, we travel back to 1974 for a cozy little movie from the same director as A Christmas Story.
Will George enjoy dissecting the anatomy... of telephone number systems? Can Travis look past the 3M 70's blood and enjoy a well-acted (and not dubbed or subbed!) entry in the slasher genre? Will Dan seriously find a way to fit Jose Ramon Larraz into this conversation? Tune in to find out!
