Eli Roth sits down with us to discuss his upcoming film, Ice Cream Man, while looking back on the era that transformed modern horror. From Cabin Fever and Hostel to the rise of the Splat Pack, Eli reflects on how horror broke into the mainstream and what it was like to be at the center of it all.

We also talk about his return to independent filmmaking, building his new venture, The Horror Section, supporting the next generation of horror creators, and how our very own co-host, Jon Grilz, somehow ended up becoming the CEO of Eli's company.
