215 - House of Wax (2005) w/ Ariel Powers-Schaub

Disenfranchised

“We almost finished what Ma started.”

We’re back from our bye week, rested and ready to start a whole new year of podcasting! We’re kicking off 2025 with a gritty horror remake and who better to join us for the discussion than the author of Millennial Nasties and contributor to The Pod & the Pendulum, Ariel Powers-Schaub! Together, we discuss our histories with motor vehicles, our mutual dislike of Nick, and reckon with Paris Hilton and the “See Paris Die” campaign for this movie!

If you truly can get used to anything if you’re around it long enough, it might explain why Ariel Powers-Schaub keeps coming back to join us! She’s rad and you should check her out on the following platforms:

• Buy Ari’s book, Millennial Nasties wherever books are sold! Amazon! Barnes & Noble! Vinegar Syndrome?? WAL-MART?!?
