DISCLAIMER: Obviously, things globally have changed dramatically in only a short amount of time for everyone, ourselves included in the podcasting world as well as within our own respective homes.

HEAR YE!!! HEAR YE!!! Let it be known that Jaime Lee Curtis has finally reprised her role as Laurie Strode after 20 long years of being cast in much higher brow cinema, but it comes at a great cost for us here on The Highway.

Join us as we randomly decided to go camping...somewhere. Hot fire, cold beers, & a killer horror movie review in the woods.

Join us as we travel to Amity Island while we review the first summer blockbuster for our first bonus episode. This movie traumatized countless people so badly, swimming was never an option for them again...hopefully this review doesn’t do the same. Have a safe and Happy 4th of July!!!
