In this special episode Eimear is nothing short of delighted to have Grace back and they have a special guest along to discuss the latest Scream movie to hit the big screen. They did their best to not spoil the ending but better to be safe and go watch the movie and then take a listen. Warning though to turn up the volume for this episode as Grace and Eimear do their best ASMR impression while discussing Ghostface and we could not help but wonder does Ghostface think of the BYWH podcast as much as they think of him.

Feeling peckish? You might not want to eat for a while after you listen to this episode on...killer foods! This episode on movies regarding food related horror is wrapped up in a segment on horror movies food pun titles as well for a bonus. Also there is some extra noise in the background so apologies for the quality, I was not recording in my usual spot.
