Episode Description from the Publisher

Get ready to tell us where you like it as we head to Medieval Times because we're discussing Ben Stiller's Jim Carrey-starring black comedy The Cable Guy (1996) for its 30th anniversary! Tagging in for the conversation are Patrick Hamilton and Gena Radcliffe of the Kill By Kill Podcast. Join us as we go all in on the oddly prescient (and highly media literate) film made famous by Jim Carrey's $20 million paycheck. From Carrey's incredibly creepy performance to a nightmare sequence straight out of A Nightmare on Elm Street, there are a lot more horror (and homoerotic) undertones to this film than you might expect! Plus, that iconic karaoke sequence, sexy Jack Black and comparisons to Single White Female, So I Married an Axe Murderer and Scream.  Questions? Comments? Snark?
