Dave launches into the Horror News of the Week with the passing of Haruo Nakajima, the man in the Godzilla suit. He also discusses the 2 disc collector’s edition of The Dead Next Door and the upcoming remake of Death Wish from Eli Roth, featuring Bruce Willis.  Closing out the show Thomas announces the winner of last month’s Stump the Saint prize!
