Better Off Dead (1985) with Amanda Allen (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week, join Seth & guest co-host Jess (Seth is away on 'cast business) as well as first-time guest and friend of the 'cast Amanda Allen as they dodge newspapers, avoid choking on boiled bacon, ski the K12 and ponder the Street Value of This Mountain while sinking into "Savage" Steve Holland's insane 1985 quasi-auto-biopic "Better Off Dead," starring John Cusack, Curtis Armstrong, David Ogden Stiers, Diane Franklin and Kim Darby. Will they find two whole dollars? Will they inhale too much jel
Cult Manifesto: Ben Tracy on "The Doors" (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Will they be able to resist a pantheon of hideously unappealing animal-human hybrid comic charact
Event Horizon (1997) with Jess Sullivan (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week, the Seths are joined once again by longtime Friend O' The 'Cast Jess "Just Jess" Sullivan as they explore the grim-dark space madness that is Paul (eventually W.S.) Anderson's "Event Horizon" (1997), starring Sam Neill, Laurence Fishburne, Kathleen Quinlan, Joely Richardson, Richard T. Jones and Jack Noseworthy. Can they shout barely comprehensible latin phrases over a grainy video from an abandoned spaceship, in a way that will somehow free them from an inevitable trip to hell? Will
