Summary

Can four Americans on vacation in Mexico just disappear? We're here to find out as we discuss previous guest Carter Smith's 2008 pandemic creature feature The Ruins! Joining us is Bloody Disgusting's own Dax Ebaben! Join us as we discuss the Stephen King-approved source material (aka one of the scariest novels of the 21st century) and how it translates to the screen in the Ben Stiller(!)-produced film that most critics compared unfavorably to Little Shop of Horrors (those critics are dumb). Plus, sad handjobs, impromptu amputations, questionable German accents (sorry, Joe Anderson) and all the praise for Laura Ramsey's tragic performance.
