Steffan and Renée have a lot of ground to cover. First, our hosts ask Robert Trujillo and artist Rhys Cooper about Metallica’s return to Australia. Then, in the Spooky Season spirit, James and Robert chime in on what horror is to them.


Finally, Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills joins the podcast to discuss “A Work of Art,” the band’s song and extended music video for the new horror film “Terrifier 3,” and his lifelong love of slasher films.
