Steph has been a guest on the show before and I saw her post several times about this film on Twitter as a self-proclaimed "fan-girl" of the film, so I thought with her knowledge of editing and her love of the film, she'd be the perfect co-host. Also with me are the film's writer/director, Zach Cregger and the film's editor Joe Murphy. Joe and I have one degree of imdb separation as we've both co-edited with Jamie Kirkpatrick.
