About this Episode

Sometimes READ is better. Tony and Matt used the remake of Pet Sematary as an excuse to return to the source: Stephen King's haunting 1983 novel.

The guys go deep into what was scariest about the book and how both movies -- 1989's adaptation by Mary Lambert and 2019's remake/readaptation by Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kolsch -- tried with varying degrees of success to turn a father's slow decent into grief-stricken madness into creature features. Which version of Church the cat did we like best? Who was the better sitcom goof-turned-exposition-dropping-Mainer, Dick from 3rd Rock or Herman Munster? Ayuh, they answer these questions and more in this week's What Did We Miss?
