We're joined by Ed on the long-awaited tribute to the ultimate monster kid - Guillermo del Toro - with his masterpiece, The Devil's Backbone and his love letter to Gothic Romance, Crimson Peak!
**Just a word of warning, due to the nature of having a guest, Ed's audio includes a bit of Jacob's and my responses overlapping with his talking. I tried to preserve the audio of whoever was carrying the conversation at the time, so there may be some volume and quality differences throughout the episode, but I've made every effort for the quality to be as good as possible. Thanks for your patience and understanding!**
