I hate to say it, but his parents have been feeling unwell as of late, and I'm staying with them to help take care of Alex.

Oh, that's serious?

Oh, no, no, it's not serious. Nothing terminal.

It's just a touch of consumption.

So before we get started, we just wanted to clarify, we're going to post this on Monday.

So feel free to be as spoilerific as you want to be.

Great. Great.

Perfect.

We are Trace and Joe with the horror queer as part of Bloody FM, Blood You Disgusting's podcast network. But so... We love Bloody Disgusting. Yeah. Amazing. We do too. Yeah. Okay. Well, so right at the bat, we'll throw you a softball. So rather than outright remake the original Faces of Death, which has its own kind of notoriety, you opted to take a meta approach where, you know, the original film exists in this world. Obviously, I feel like a straight remake of the original film would be really difficult to pull off. So that's one reason. But what made y'all just had to go in that direction for this film?

it wasn't really meta so much as it's a film that says, where is faces of death today? And that

answers that honestly being like, well, if somebody wanted to remake faces of death, but actually

killed people, that would probably do pretty well. And, um, if somebody wanted to remake faces of death but actually killed people,

that would probably do pretty well. And I think once we kind of figured that out, then we had a lot

of fun just building a story around it. Okay. So between this and Cam, you both seem to have this strong

interest in an idea about how the internet has affected modern society. So we noticed with
