Troy and Roger crack open the cursed seal of The Church, Michele Soavi’s ambitious Italian horror film where stunning visuals clash with a script that feels like it was possessed mid-scene. They dive into the film’s wild opening massacre, its uneven rules around demonic possession, and a cast of characters who often seem as confused as the audience. From awkward romantic subplots to questionable dubbing choices, the guys try to make sense of the beautiful chaos unfolding inside a haunted cathedral built on a foundation of medieval sins. They debate whether the film’s atmosphere makes up for its narrative gaps, and why so many people keep wandering off alone in a literal demon church. It’s messy, moody, and somehow still manages to be memorable, even if it leaves you with more questions than answers.

Troy and Roger dig into Offerings (1989), a low-budget slasher that proudly wears its Halloween influences like a badge—and maybe forgets to iron out its own plot in the process. They explore the strange tale of John Radley, a traumatized adn bullied boy turned silent killer, and the inexplicably chill reactions of the town’s residents to a string of body parts showing up on doorsteps. From awkward teen banter to a sheriff who seems more inconvenienced than alarmed, the guys dissect the film’s odd pacing, charmingly clunky script, and that unforgettable pizza delivery moment. Offerings may not reinvent the slasher wheel, but it serves up enough nostalgic weirdness to be oddly endearing. Just don’t ask what’s on the pizza!
