Welcome to episode two of April Adventures! This week, we’re diving deep (and we mean deep) into The Ruins by Scott Smith and its 2008 film adaptation. What starts as a group of friends looking for a good time in Mexico quickly turns into a claustrophobic, skin-crawling nightmare. (Spoiler alert: we are never going into the jungle again.)
Hosted by Lindsey with co-hosts Crystal and Keri.
