2020 has been something else entirely. It has been a year of quarantining, working from home, killing off social lives and more. How did this year affect your mental health? What movies helped you get through this year and impact your mental health. Braden Dummeler, writer/director behind What Lies Below, joins us to discuss what movies helped us get through this year of uncertainty.

The original 1987 movie from Clive Barker was picked by you guys to discuss. Learn what the cenobites look like through a first time experience, a nostalgic experience and true fandom. Hellraiser is a multi-layered complex, weird and bloody movie. What does that mean for a first time viewing? Guess you'll have to hit play to find out. Plus, we're discussing how to effectively learn the signs of depression and suicide.
