It’s Listener Recommendation Week on Pod Sematary! Chris & Kelsey watch two very weird movies that are very weird for two very different reasons.

The Classic Film: Bad Ronald (1974)
"A perverted teenage boy who lives in the walls of a house finds the house sold to a family after his mother dies, and he falls for one of the new residents” (IMDb.com). Bad Ronald was a made-for-TV movie and it shows. If there’s one thing to learn from this movie, it’s to STOP MOVING DEAD BODIES!

The Modern Film: The Evil Within (2017)
"The sadistic tale of a lonely, mentally handicapped boy who befriends his reflection in an antique mirror. This demonic creature orders him to go on a murderous rampage to kill the people he loves most” (IMDb.com). The Evil Within was a 15-year passion project by a millionaire meth user who died before it was finished and it shows. But not in a bad way?
