## Resource

Well, that was fucked up. This week, we're talking about probably the most extreme movie in our entire catalog: DEADLY END, a 2008 obscurity that blends David Lynch with John Waters for a visceral, disgusting, hugely memorable experience. We're joined by the man who helped us unearth this video nasty, Fangoria legend and horror historian Michael Gingold!
