38. Cabin Fever w/ Concetta Caristo 27.11.2025 1год 22хвComedian and TV personality Concetta Caristo joins the gang talk about the 2016 remake of Eli Roth's independent horror hit Cabin Fever. Released 14 years after the 2002 original, it found itself on the 0% list. At its core, its a gory violent horror film about 5 friends going to a cabin in the woods and succumbing to a flesh-eating virus. They virtually used Roth's original script and our recommendation is go watch the original, which is offensive and outdated, but still better. Listen to Concetta on Triple J mornings, and her podcast Big Natural Talents.
