This week on the show, Desmond and Tom cover a double feature of films based on Native American evil spirits that have very little to do with actual Native Americans.

So why is this dumb movie full of bikers and wolfmen? That's the question they ask in their review of Skinwalkers. Songs included: "The Fear That Binds You" by Crowbar, "Becoming" by Pantera, "Skinwalker" by Navajo Witch, and "Man Bites Dogged" by Napalm Death. Send feedback to: dreadmediapodcast@gmail.com.
