The squad leaves Colton & Rowan to kick off JAWGUST all by their lonesome. That’s okay… We're fine… Not even a big deal… Like, we've got Colton's pick, ALLIGATOR II: THE MUTATION (1991), to discuss anyways… Is it immediately obvious this sequel is missing its big star?

The squad gets a heavy dose of seduction with Mike's pick, SPECIES (1995)! Beyond the gloriously dodgy early CGI, is this one of the last great practical effects showcases of the '90s?

On this episode of NOW SLAYING, Rowan, Mike & Gill try not to be dead by dawn as they sink their teeth into EVIL DEAD BURN!

The squad, joined by Willow Catelyn Maclay, sinks its teeth into Rowan’s pick, THE HUNGER (1983)!
