Transcribe →I Know What You Did Last Summer
Aug 101:28:17Tap to summarizeSep 10, 2022* Patreon Release* I'm joined by friend of the pod Derek Weber of Derek Weber Scary Stories to discussthe 1997 thriller, I Know What You Did Last Summer! "Julie eventually discovered that Ben had in fact murdered David Egan, who they originally thought was the person they hit. Ben's daughter, Susie Willis, was killed in a car crash that David managed to survive. Blaming David, Ben went and killed him. After the murder, he was on his way home when the teens hit him". This has potential to be one of the most convoluted and simultaneously well executed plots ever. Enjoy!

Let’s get drenched… in delusion!
