Something is lurking in the footage…and once you see it, it’s already too late. Zena and Shelby dive into BODY CAM (2020), with Mary J. Blige leading as a cop investigating a brutal murder who starts noticing something seriously off in the body cam footage. What starts as a routine case spirals into creepy visions, bad energy, and the growing feeling that something supernatural is targeting her entire unit. Along the way, they dig into the real-world horror, including the grief, trauma, and heaviness this movie doesn’t shy away from. Then Shelby drops updates on IT: WELCOME TO DERRY, season 2, plus a big treat for fans of RESIDENT EVIL! They also remind listeners about the exploding limbs question and, somehow, inevitably connect everything and everyone back to K-Ci & JoJo. Tune in! Let’s get bloody. Let’s get disgusting.

Zena cranks it up with BLOOD BARN director and writer Gabriel Bernini and writer Alexandra Jade for a blood-soaked deep dive into their ’80s horror roots, the chaos of indie filmmaking, and how they resurrected the raw spirit of grindhouse slashers for a new generation.

In BLOOD BARN, six camp counselors gather to celebrate their last summer before college at Josie’s family’s abandoned barn but their reunion awakens a malevolent supernatural force lurking in the shadows.
