Hoooooo boy, listeners. This one's a doozy.This week we chat with actress, producer, writer and director, musician and composer Krsy Fox.

Then we explore her relationship with horror before diving into Arachnophobia.We've been waiting for a guest to pick this movie and Krsy was the perfect guest to unpack this nightmare of a film.

We chat about killer spiders, shooting with real (and real ugly) spiders, the way the film unfolds like a slasher, and so much more. It's a fun one, folks.Follow Krsy on Twitter and Instagram.
