Are you ready for some football?! All my rowdy friends have gathered to get into all the gory details of this year’s pro-football horror freakout, HIM!! And the scouting report looks even better, as we've drafted someone to help us feel the impact of the film: former NFL pro Marques Ogden (host of the Get Authentic podcast)!! Along the way, we suit up for a modern-day gladiatorial battle, unpack the many horror references laced into the film, and tackle the troubling questions the movie raises, such as, “How much blood would you drink to QB1?” All this, plus massive egos, the Devil’s Defensive Coordinator, scenery chomping, bull gods, demonic mascots, remembering Fatal Games, eyebrow choices, and an elite edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! Leave it all out on the field with us today!!
