Locals try to warn them away, but the group becomes trapped on a hill/temple by a hostile, intelligent plant that mimics sounds and unleashes dehydration, body horror, improvised surgery, paranoia, and psychological collapse. Hosts Samantha and Jeffy discuss character perspectives, differences between the book and movie, and the story's blend of environmental terror and human breakdown.

  Aug 6, 202652 min

  When a depressed writer and his overly optimistic agent camp at Devil's Lake with enough LSD to make every tree, shadow, and intrusive thought feel like it's trying to kill them, their trip spirals into a nightmarish cat-and-mouse survival against violent criminals where hallucination and reality blur into deadly danger. Hosts Samantha and Jeffy break down the novel's psychological horror, its Wisconsin setting and folklore, the risks of psychedelics for vulnerable minds, and related books, films and local events in a punchy, conversational episode.
