Grindhouse Girls Podcast

Gather round and listen up because this week we're covering the chilling indie horror PONTYPOOL. Adapted by Tony Burgess from his 1995 novel, the film follows a radio morning show host and his crew on a snowy Valentine's Day as they are inundated with strange reports of strange herds of people attacking each other while muttering strange words.

Next time we'll be covering Werewolves Within.

Stay spoopy y'all!
