Happy New Year's Eve, movie lovers! This week, the Shat crew bids farewell to 2024 with a truly twisted trip back to 1999 and Joel Schumacher's descent into darkness: 8mm. Nicholas Cage trades in his bees for smokes, Joaquin Phoenix dons the most questionable crop tops ever filmed, and we discover that apparently, "Are you a cop?" is still the universal password for underground crime rings.

Join Gene Lyons and Big D as they wrestle with the true horrors of the film: not just snuff movies, but also parenting during awkward sex scenes, inexplicably bad investigative decisions, and the economics of murder in an era where a 20-inch shovel costs less than a Big Mac combo. Is 8mm a misunderstood thriller or a time capsule of 1999's obsession with edgy "dark detective" tales?

Find out if this cinematic black hole ends the year with a bang or just wipes itself out. Spoiler alert: It's not the bees, but it might be the belly tees.
