HOSTEL FRANCHISE MARATHON

Moving on from the spawn of Satan entering the world of the living, to the living entering a hell-on-earth: a new marathon is under way, and it's Hostel.

Eli Roth's second major film, spawning from the wallet of Quentin Tarantino, this franchise sees the 'Elite Hunting Club' traffic human beings in Slovakia for the uber-rich to do with them as they will and explore the disgusting extremity of human objectification.

Rhys and Kane try to hold in their lunch and not pass out, as they marathon all three Hostel movies - a pillar in the cinematic canon of the torture-p*rn sub-genre. Maybe Rhys might postpone that Europe trip?

THE OMEN FRANCHISE MARATHON

6 films, touching 6 decades, with 6 takes on the anti-Christ (to varying degrees of quality)

Some friends are only with you for a short time, and some are with you for life. Damien is one of the lifelong homies. After investigating and diving into the sometimes scary, sometimes wild world of The Omen, the boys have found another home amidst the religious imagery and anxieties of this cinematic universe.

Rhys and Kane go through their individual rankings of the franchise, so you know which ones are a must-watch, and which ones you can throw in the bin. On top of this, the pair touch on varying additional Omen-related media and what their overall take on the franchise is.

THE OMEN FRANCHISE MARATHON

Finally we're at the final Omen film, and for some reason, it likes to go by as 'The First Omen'. It's okay; aging is scary, we get it.

The long anticipated PREQUEL. Will it have the prequel curse? Will it have the actual curse that the original film had? If you've read any reviews yet, you'll see that pleasantly, no! This actually sort of rocks.

Kane and Rhys unpack 'Immaculate 2,' I mean: 'The First Omen,' and see how one of these films plays out in our current climate of horror pop culture, anti-conservativism, and abortion legislation. There's a lot to get through...
