Hosts Jamie and Nina unravel their favorite scary films, strange phenomena, and the occasional offbeat obsession—because sometimes the most interesting conversations happen after the main story ends. Smart, spooky, and delightfully unhinged, Ghoul Talk invites you to laugh, scream, and stray off-topic—often all in the same episode.episodicJamie Verwys / Nina Yarringtonjamiejubilee@gmail.comyes<![CDATA[Saw]]>In this special episode of Ghoul Talk, hosts Jamie and Nina welcome author and horror aficionado Jess Conway for a deep-dive retrospective on the Original Saw movie and its lasting impact on the horror genre. Together, they explore how Saw reinvented modern horror with its unique blend of psychological tension, moral quandaries, and inventive storytelling — from its gritty indie origins to its influence on an entire generation of filmmakers and fans.

Jess brings her unique perspective as the author of a novel that imaginatively explores the complex relationship between Adam and Lawrence — two iconic characters from the Saw universe. Jamie, Nina, and Jess unpack key themes from the film, discuss what makes the dynamic between those characters so compelling, and reflect on why Saw remains an important and influential piece of horror history.
