2020-12-1748 minSCARETRODUCING2020: The Year in Fear (Part 1)Join us as we take a look back at 2020 - a year absolutely NONE of us could have predicted. Framing the months via his cinematic experiences - both memorable & forgettable - Calum runs us through January to June, occasionally diverting to talk about Plot-heavy film criticism, Sports, and the nature of general audiences when it comes to horror movies.
It's been a year to forget, but before you do so why not take a look back at everything you've seen or missed, loved or hated.
