This week, we’re doing it for the lulz. From chat room carnage to the deadliest film ever made, let’s talk urban legend films!
THIS EPISODE: “SMILEY” (2012) AND “ANTRUM” (2018)
What is it about “you’ll die if you do X” urban legends that leave us dying to do X?! Say his name five times; visit a sketchy internet chat room; purchase a ticket for a cursed film. We know we shouldn’t do it, but we just can’t help ourselves. Kind of like listening to this podcast. We warn you it’s going to be a trainwreck, but you just can’t help yourself, can you? Speaking of trainwrecks, Casey picks the infamous 2012 debacle known as Smiley while Stephanie hails Satan with 2018’s Antrum.
Watch the trailer for Smiley.
Watch the trailer for Antrum.
WHERE TO WATCHAntrum is available to stream for free in the U.S. on Tubi. If you’re stuck in Canada like Casey, you’ll have to rent it. But don’t worry, it’s inexpensive — and worth it. Smiley is free with ads on Vix in Canada. In the U.S., it’s not currently streaming anywhere. If you try hard enough you can easily find it though. But don’t try. Seriously. Watching this film is a curse no one should have to bear.
