Epic Film Guys Podcast

Hey guy, your fly is open and your Hostess Twinkie is hanging out! This week we're headed back to 1986, to talk about every practical joker's favorite horror flick, APRIL FOOL'S DAY! The movie follows nine college students staying at a friend's remote island mansion begin to fall victim to an unseen murderer over the April Fool's Day weekend, but nothing is as it seems in this divisive 80's horror outing. Is it Trash it, or Treasure it for the Brain Stew crew? You'll have to tune in to find out!

Keep it creepy,

Justin, Jeremy & B-Ratty
