After checking in with Sigourney Weaver and Holly Hunter last week in Copycat, we’re getting that much closer to our 100th episode! But before we hit that milestone we’ve got just one more episode left and it’s a good one! We’re getting timely with Carter Smith‘s 2008 pandemic creature feature The Ruins!

The film sees Amy (Jena Malone), Stacy (Laura Ramsey), Jeff (Jonathan Tucker) and Eric (Shawn Ashmore) look for fun during a sunny holiday in Mexico, but they get much more than that after visiting an archaeological dig in the jungle. Carnivorous vines try to ensnare the friends in their tendrils, forcing the group to fight for survival.

Episode 99 – The Ruins (2008)
Can four Americans on vacation in Mexico just disappear? We’re here to find out as we discuss previous guest Carter Smith’s 2008 pandemic creature feature The Ruins! Joining us is Bloody Disgusting’s own Dax Ebaben!
Join us as we discuss the Stephen King-approved source material (aka one of the scariest novels of the 21st century) and how it translates to the screen in the Ben Stiller(!)-produced film that most critics compared unfavorably to Little Shop of Horrors (those critics are dumb).
Plus, sad handjobs, impromptu amputations, questionable German accents (sorry, Joe Anderson) and all the praise for Laura Ramsey’s tragic performance.
Cross out The Ruins!
Coming up on Wednesday: Our 100th episode is finally here and we’re celebrating the milestone with a discussion of one of our most-requested films: William Friedkin’s controversial 1980 slasher/noir hybrid Cruising!
