On this episode, Chris and Re-Gor talk to director Travis Greene and writer Jonathan Buchanan about their new horror film, “8 Found Dead!” Two couples drive to a secluded house in the desert for a weekend getaway, each with their own baggage, expectations and secrets. Upon their arrival, they are met by two strangers who claim to have rented the house as well. What starts out as a “simple misunderstanding” ends in an all-night bloodbath! Told in 4 parts, with a shuffled timeline, “8 Found Dead” is less of a “whodunit?” and more of a “who the hell survives?”. Join us for a lively discussion about the making of the film and more!
