  This week Matt and Scott grab their planchette and commune with the spirits of Ouija: Origin of Evil, Mike Flanagan's 2016 prequel to a very successful and very bad film.

• 3: HUSH

  This week we take a look at Mike Flanagan's Hush, a 2016 film co-written and starring Kate Siegel. The film asks an important question: if a killer tries to murder a deaf mute woman in the woods, does he make a sound? We chat about the film's simple premise, but great execution absolutely stuffed with great setups and payoffs, the great theming, and John Gallagher Jr.'s creepy but stupid killer.  Next week we have some bad dreams as we chat about Flanagan's Before I Wake! Discussion Question: What is your favorite use of the removal of certain sounds in films/tv?
