Dan and Conrad tear up some paperback covers and assemble a map to John Carpenter's "last good film", 1994's 'In the Mouth of Madness'. It's got Sam Neill, Charlton Heston, a naked old man handcuffed to his wife's ankle, and more Lovecraftian cosmic horror than you could shake a tentacle at. But, crucially, is it actually any good?

Dan and Conrad review listener's choice 90s horror 'Disturbing Behavior', in which twentysomething teenager James Marsden moves to a new town and discovers a Stepford Wives-style conspiracy against delinquent high schoolers. With the help of his new friends, post-Dawson's Creek Katie Holmes and pre-Terminator Nick Stahl, can he avoid becoming one of the squeaky clean Blue Ribbon Group of 50s throwbacks?
Dan gets nostalgic over 90s grunge, while Conrad finds the most disturbing thing is the movie's spelling of the word 'behaviour'. Will they deem GoT veteran director David Nutter's first major movie worthy of release from the oubliette?

Dan and Conrad celebrate the 30th anniversary of Dead Calm: the first movie in which Billy Zane was unpleasant on a boat. He terrorises a 19-year-old Nicole Kidman and hubby Sam Neill in Phillip Noyce's nautical thriller. Does it hold water or is it a wash out?

Dan and Conrad gaze long into the oubliette, and 'The Hole' gazes back at them! It all gets a bit meta as they revisit Joe Dante's sprightly 3D horror extravaganza, which disappeared without a trace in 2009. Do they conquer their worst fears?

Dan and Conrad are pushed into watching Push (2009), the first ever listener's choice movie from the Oubliette Roulette! It features Chris Evans in his second superhero role as a telekinetic on the run in Hong Kong. Is the film pushing it or are our hosts a pushover?

Only two British horror films were released in theatres in the 80s. The second was the seminal classic Hellraiser (1987). Alas, the oubliette presents Dan and Conrad with the first: Xtro (1982). It has a shocking alien birth scene, a black panther and a future Bond girl. But is it worth saving from obscurity?

Writer/director Jacob Gentry introduces Conrad and Dan to Brian De Palma's The Fury (1978) and tries to convince them that the world needs to see 61-year-old Kirk Douglas's shirtless parkour and Amy Irving exploding people with her mind. Will he win the movie's freedom from the oubliette?

Conrad and Dan venture into Don Coscarelli's dream-like Phantasm (1979) and find themselves dodging flying balls and homicidal jawas in the Tall Man's mausoleum. Is it genre-bending genius or a shaggy gopher-on-heat story?
