After seeing Scream 7, Ben's partner met a woman in full Ghostface costume washing her hands in the cinema toilet.

The episode opens with the hosts welcoming listeners and joking about Ben being in the mailroom. They start by discussing Scream 7, with Ben sharing a story about his partner encountering someone in a Ghostface costume in a cinema toilet after the film. This leads to a conversation about childhood fears, including Jack's experience with Bloody Mary in school toilets. The hosts then talk about horror films in general, mentioning Scary Movie and the Wayans brothers. They shift to discussing the Netflix series 'Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen,' noting its anxiety-inducing atmosphere and cast including Ted Levine and Jennifer Jason Leigh. Jack argues that horror TV is harder than movies because it requires sustaining tension over eight episodes instead of 90 minutes. They briefly touch on horror video games like Resident Evil, agreeing that games can be scarier due to player immersion. The episode includes a 'Pass the Pod' segment where they humorously act out passing the podcast in a gym shower scenario. After a break, they engage in a surreal debate about whether they would prefer three eyes and one ear or three ears and one eye, with Colson and Ben leaning toward three eyes. Ben then shares a 'Trick of the Trade' about supporting artists miming 'Happy Birthday' on set to avoid extra pay for singing, which he found amusing during filming. The hosts discuss their smoking habits briefly, referencing a live show where fans thought they were smokers. Colson pitches a TV show concept called 'Reinvent,' where celebrities have 24 hours to improve everyday objects like suitcases or matches, with judges like Brian Cox and Stephen Fry. They brainstorm ideas for the show, including reinventing the wheel as a golden buzzer moment. The episode concludes with reminders to contact the show via email or social media and to watch 'Rental Family.'
