In this episode Christin tells Chris what inspired Wes Craved to write A Nightmare on Elm Street, the terrifying cases of Sudden Unexpected Death Syndrome. They also discuss Chris Evan's pic slip up, what little they know about the Vietnam War (and suggest just watching the new Ken Burn's doc, and the docs Origin Story and The Nightmare) and what dreams are made of.
