Watch out for mysterious motorcycles, this week we're covering the Iranian true crime film noir HOLY SPIDER. Drawing heavily from a documentary covering the real life crimes of the "Spider Killer", the film follows a female journalist who joins forces with a local reporter to discover the killer's identity when the police don't seem to care about the victims to solve the crimes.

Next time we're watching THE DEVILS.

*Due to this film covering a historical event, the whole episode will contain spoilers. Also, when making the visuals for our ratings, we mixed up our rating (and by we, we mean Katie) so forgive us for the audio not matching what's written.
