Canadian Movie Crew

This week, with Tex and Mean Mark on summer vacation, Sean Taylor sits down with the hilarious Scott White to review Maniac Cop from 1988! It’s the story of a former police officer killing regular citizens at random in New York City. Not only does this movie spoil itself IN THE OPENING CREDITS but it once the internet gets a hold of it, it’ll be bigger than AIDs! Plus, as our first American guest, Scott finally helps answer a long standing question we’re had on this show!

In 2002, a landmark horror film hit theatres and created a love for the, at that time, untapped ghost story genre. That movie was The Ring. It was pretty good.
