Horror Movie Weekly Ep. 176: The Manor (2021)

For those who love “inside baseball” and all manner of tidbits, tangents, and minutiae, Episode 176 of Horror Movie Weekly will be right up your alley! Your lovable hosts, Jay of the Dead and Mister Watson, bring you lots of their usual, irreverent shenanigans, as well as a Feature Review of The Manor (2021)! We also bring you our famous Micro Horror Movie Reviews of “Paul Dood’s Deadly Lunch Break” (2021) and “The Chair” (1988). And for instance, Watson and Jay discuss the merits or nefarious nature of the “American Idol”-type shows and dating film directors, etc. You know, our usual schtick — so join us, dammit!
