This week, Richard and Angeles crawl deep into the creepy-crawly chaos of Arachnophobia (1990)—the horror-comedy classic that made an entire generation check their shoes, showerheads, and cereal boxes for spiders.
We spin a web of scene-by-scene breakdowns, real-life spider fears, and behind-the-scenes trivia from this suspenseful (yet hilarious) creature feature. From Venezuelan jungles to a quiet Californian town under siege, we explore how one spider’s journey turns into a full-blown eight-legged invasion.
