Summary

Robin welcomes back returning guest Iris for a deep dive into the twisted mind of filmmaker Zach Cregger. Fresh off a belated Halloween celebration, we discuss two very different entries in Cregger's filmography: the surprise horror hit Barbarian (2022) and his latest offering Weapons (2025). From underground lairs to interconnected narratives, Robin and Iris explore what makes Cregger's approach to horror so uniquely unsettling and effective.
