Episode 165: He’s Watching You Scroll – Talking Slender Man

Character, Funny, horror, movie, podcast, review, Uncategorized

In this episode, Kevin and Jay dive into Slender Man (now streaming on Netflix) — the horror movie based on the internet’s most infamous urban legend. We talk about how a simple online myth evolved into real-world fear and eventually a full-length film. From the eerie forest visuals to the jump scares that missed, we break down what worked, what didn’t, and why Slender Man might’ve been scarier on your screen saver than in Hollywood.
