To start the descent into madness, Hosts Eddie and Spencer, and Intern Manager/Managing Intern Amy are tackling 2019's mind-bending adaptation, Color Out of Space. They'll dive deep into this H.P. Lovecraft story, discussing how Director Richard Stanley brought the author's unfilmable concepts—like an unspeakable hue and the creeping terror of the unknown—to life.

The crew will dissect the film's psychedelic visuals, the descent of the Gardner family into cosmic madness, and the truly unsettling performance by Nicolas Cage. They’ll explore what makes this specific brand of horror—where humanity's insignificance is the real monster—so profoundly terrifying and ask: did this film finally capture the true essence of Lovecraftian dread?
