I heard that Mr. Schnepp had a two-week fear of the water after seeing the originalJawsfilm as a kid, but can you all name a film that gives you nightmares or at least used to. For me I remember when I sawAliensas a kid I couldn’t go to sleep with the light off for ages after fearing an Alien lurked in the room and yet I LOVE that film. Are there movies from when you were younger that kept you up at nights, or maybe there are some more recent ones that gave you restless sleep?

Hey guys! Love the show its the best part of my day at work! I have an important question that could affectBatman v Superman. Now that the ultimate Schmoedown is back and opening the same day asBatman v Superman, do you think that the main event of John V Dan is going to impact opening day numbers forBatman v Superman??
