Presenting The Class of 1989, a new limited-run series from pop culture critics Len Webb and Vincent Williams, hosts ...

Goddamn it. This one was tough to get through as well. As you well know by this point, the great Tobe Hooper recently left us. This was hard for either of us to process here at WBD, but we wanted to give you guys and gals a fairly positive take on the situation. We didn’t want to dwell on the hurt or loss as much as we easily could have, so instead we decided to go through almost all of Hooper’s films and talk about how they impacted us and helped to mold us into the horror fanatics that we have become. Hope you enjoy the episode and that it gives you some semblance of joy in the wake of such a massive loss to the genre and community.
