NEW EPISODE: ARCADE (1993)
John and Mandi load up on caffeine and get their quarter’s ready for 1993’s ARCADE! When a hot new game starts to munch more than tokens, the two best gamers in town gear up to take it down. But are they (and we) extreme enough to face unscrupulous companies, terrible game design and terrible graphics? Or will this be Game Over?
NEW EPISODE: THE CLEANSING HOUR (2019)
Mandi makes up for lost time by checking off a film from her watch list with THE CLEANSING HOUR (2019)! When two live streaming exorcists run into what might be an actual case of possession, they have to fight against demonic forces and their own lack of faith to survive. But can they (and we) prevail against growling girlfriends, tentacular light cables and an ever rising viewer count?
NEW EPISODE: HELL HOUSE LLC (2015)
Mandi and John get out the Dramamine and holy water for 2015’s HELL HOUSE LLC! When a group of friends tries to open a haunted house in an abandoned hotel, they slowly realize their holiday horrors pale in comparison to the ghastly guest still inhabiting the location. Can they (and we) hold their ground against phantom piano playing, moving mannequins and creeps that can get you while you hid under the covers?

SPARE PARTS
Mandi
Visuals: 2/5
Story: 2/5
Scare Factor: 1/5
Overall: 3/5

John
Visuals: 3/5
Story: 2/5
Scare Factor: 2/5
Overall: 2/5
Feelings: Lotta stuff in here was done for shock value which would have been fine if it were in service to the story but unfortunately the story in this film was a dud. They tried. They tried real hard. But this one’s a “no” from me.
FINAL RATING:2/5
