Starting with a cheeky debate on whether a fleshlight could break from overstimulation ("asking for a friend"), the conversation quickly moves to exciting horror rumors. Johnny speculates on the possibility of a new Friday the 13th movie set on a frozen lake, envisioning a holiday-themed Jason Voorhees wreaking havoc during family gatherings. He also talks about Nocturne's return for a second season and his love for Alucard from Castlevania, weighing him against Vampire Hunter D.

The episode's main feature is a deep dive into the 1977 cult horror film The Car, where a possessed black Lincoln Continental terrorizes a desert town. Johnny provides fascinating trivia about the film’s production, including its eerie connection to James Brolin’s personal life and the car's creepy horn blasts that heighten the tension. The show covers everything from the film’s side characters, including hot teachers and a cowboy sheriff, to Johnny’s surprise at how much he actually enjoyed the movie.

Ending on a high note, Johnny rates The Car a "Binge Now," encouraging listeners to experience the surprisingly sinister ride for themselves.
