Episode 6: Cryptid Confessions & Cage Rage

In this episode of Blood & Ink, JC reads a spooky fright bite, written by Reddit user Pentyworth223, about a mysterious consultant who takes confessions... from cryptids. It's weird, eerie, and just the right kind of creepy.
Then JC is joined by friend Bee Lysko for a wildly fun recap of "Mandy". Yes, that psychedelic fever dream of a movie starring a blood-soaked Nicholas Cage. We keep it light, laugh a lot, and try to make sense of the madness. 
If you like horror with a side of humor, you're in for a treat.
