John Carpenter&#39;s <a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/in-the-mouth-of-madness/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">In the Mouth of Madness</a> is an absolute thrill ride and since Arrow Video has released what we hear is a gorgeous new 4K we figured it was time talk about one of his best (and most slept on) movies.</p><p><br></p><p>We are excited to be joined by Derrick (simi.views on all the socials) for his first appearance on the show as he&#39;s beginning to really get into Carpenter&#39;s work.
