100: Weapons (2025) "Seven Hot Dogs"

Did you miss us? We’re back for season 6 and celebrating our 100th episode with one of our favorite releases of last year—Weapons (2025). Directed by Zach Cregger of Barbarian and Whitest Kids U'Know fame, his sophomore flick delivers a fresh, unexpectedly funny take on the horror genre, where every scene leaves you asking “what is even happening?”. But beneath the unhinged chaos, it's also rife with themes of isolation, grief, trauma, and more depending on your personal interpretation. So get a little witchy with us as we unpack the unconventional narrative structure, explore parasite symbolism, and debate how many hot dogs are actually feasible for one person to eat.
