After 10 years of podcasting, your Horror Movie Weekly hosts, Jay of the Dead, BillChete, and Lady Phantom finally got to meet in person in Las Vegas — along with Jay of the Dead’s “Necro-MOM-icon.” We revel in the fun times we had in Las Vegas, and we lament about the unfolding Coronavirus pandemic. But your hosts get down to business here in Episode 031 with a Feature Review of Get Gone (2020)! Join us!
Note: Though this episode is released today (March 29), it was recorded on March 12, so it’s interesting to contrast how much things have changed with COVID-19 in the past 17 days. For example, in Nevada on March 12, there were only five cases. On March 29, there are 738 and 14 deaths. And Jay says there are five cases of the Coronavirus in Utah on March 12. On March 29, there are 603 and two deaths!
On Horror Movie Weekly, your late-night Horror hosts Jay of the Dead, BillChete and Lady Phantom bring you one recent Horror movie review every Sunday. (We’re defining “recent” as any Horror movie released within the last five years.) And we always reveal next week’s pick at the end of every show, so you can watch along with us and be prepared for the following episode. Join us, and thanks for listening!

Wow. How things have changed in such a short time.
Yeah time goes by fast. Good to hear you all met & had fun but you broke the cardinal rule of what happens in vegas stays in vegas so sounds like a curse on you 3 might be in order but let’s hope not 😎
