It’s the dramatic return of our Scream Queen, Sr. Editor of Fangoria Magazine, Meredith Borders. Meredith is hot off the massive Kickstarter launch of her brand new book, First in Fright: The FANGORIA Compendium! We talk about John Carpenter’s forgotten masterpiece, Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen’s 1980s classic Starman. We also cover Greenland, the (gestures around) whole situation going on, #dunesday, Christopher Nolan v Denis Villeneuve, and our love for the first episode of Knight of the Seven Kingdoms!
