Ep. 472-Ick (2025), Wake Up Dead Man, A Rob Reiner Tribute, and More!

Steve’s Required Viewing pick is the small-town horror/comedy Ick, which concerns a bunch of people whose quaint, sheltered world is infested with malevolent forces that have slowly grown in power over countless years (gee I wonder what that’s like), and the guys discuss that before moving on to Wake Up Dead Man, the latest Benoit Blanc murder mystery from Rian Johnson and Daniel Craig, with another all-star cast and a lot to say about the nature of belief, centered on a small, hyper-religious cult of personality that threatens to corrupt everyone it touches (gee I wonder what that’s like). The guys also take a moment to admire the amazing career of the irreplaceable Rob Reiner.
