I'm I'm Travis Hunter, joined as always by my co-host, my sister, and my brother-in-law.

Hi, I'm Renée Hunter Vasquez. Hi, I'm John Paul Vasquez. This week, we're broadcasting live from an abandoned farmhouse in Glen Echo, discussing the 2006 Slasher mockumentary, Behind the Mask, the Rise of Leslie Vernon. This film was directed by Scott Glosserman off a script from Glosserman and David J. Steve. Through satire and referential humor, Behind the Mask offers both a

send-up of and reverence for the slasher subgenre of horror. Though it only had a limited

release initially, the film has grown a cult following in the year since its release, with

rumors of a sequel gestating for over a decade. This film was suggested to us by friend of the show,

Will Brown. We want to thank Will so much for his support of the show and this suggestion. So, behind the mask, the rise of Leslie Vernon. What were your first impressions on the film? I've never seen this movie before. Ever. I've never heard of it. I didn't. But in all fairness, when it came out, that was the year I was incarcerated.

You get a pass.

Right.

I'd say that's a great reason.

But this movie was very fun.

If you've never seen it, I would highly suggest watching it.

It's not the best movie, but it is something that I feel like should be watched,

like should at least be seen one time.

I did have a lot of fun watching it.

I do have some issues with it, but I mean, it's not bad.

It's really not.

I'm glad because this film, I was like, it's going to go one of two ways.

Well, the thing about JP is that. You're so difficult. Yeah, I can never guess. Like, films, I'm like, J.P.'s going to love this. What the fuck was that? And then films are like, well, J.P. is going to hate this for, like, best film ever made. I'm like, what? You, T, had tried to get me to watch this for years.

And I didn't know what it was about. I feel like if I knew what it was about, I probably would have watched it. But the title, I was like, what the fuck? What does that even mean? It just sounded so cheesy. It's a mouthful. It's a lot. Yeah. But I had seen it the one time with you and then I hadn't seen it again until we, you know,

watched it for the show.

And it's,
