People, we love you! The thing is, we’re still not quite ready to tackle a full film yet - so we’re jumping into the Wayback machine to find music videos just as horrifying as the fright flicks we usually gab about. So in this new limited series called Kill The Video Star, Gena & Patrick talk about one of the most inexplicable radio hits of the 80s, Benny Mardones’ Into The Night! We talk cigarette kicks, alleyway peepers, thousand-yard stares, magic carpet proposals, married vampires, senior portraits dissolves, and Hawkmen. And finally, we debate whether this music video is the most disturbing footage we’ve watched for the show.

Previous Episode
Dish By Dish S1 Ep13 "Savoureux"
1 RecommendationsIt's the episode the Grim Reaper did not want you to hear! That's right, Gena returns to the show after her medical emergency, and it's a story you must hear for yourself. Also, we watched the first season finale of Hannibal and stuff - but really, it's hard to separate the two. We discuss stalking elks, wet dreams, whether Hannibal's tears are real, why Jack is being such a hardass, and the building sexual chemistry between the entire cast of the show. It's an orgy of Hannibal worship and personal discovery!!

Kill The Video Star - Billy Squier's Rock Me Tonight
If you had other plans, put them on hold! It’s time to Rock Me Tonight with Billy Squier as we continue our near-death mini-series Kill The Video Star. It’s the chilling tale of one early 80s rocker meeting his untimely career death via a poorly choreographed dance routine. Virgin puppets, floor writhing, silk sheet mountains, hotness exhaustion, aggressive finger snaps, fashion smelting, and rock’s answer to Ed Grimley. All this, plus we get to the bottom of something that sadly plagues too many men: premature shirt-ripping. Join up with your unsuccessful clones and listen, won’t you?
