  • Pox & Puss Presents: In The Pines - Wrong Turn (2021) - Movie Commentary Watchalong
    Jul 29 2024

    Back in 2022, Pox Holiday made a fateful promise on the first episode of In The Pines Podcast: He would watch "Wrong Turn," the 2021 horror reboot about a group of Appalachian Trail hikers facing off against a terrifying mountain clan, but only if we'd record it all.

    Well, we followed through on that terrible idea and it landed with a meaty thud.

    Join us as we dive headfirst into the backwoods terror of "Wrong Turn."

    We'll dissect the stupid plot, cringe at the gore, figure out who Mathrew Modean is, and debate whether this reboot lived up to the original or should even exist at all.

    Expect plenty of laughs, WTF moments, actual screams, and our questionable life choices as we endure this cinematic ordeal together.

  • Pox & Puss Presents: BONUS - Eric Rudolph and the Appalachian Trail Bandit
    Oct 4 2022

    We are only a few days away from celebrating the Pox & Puss Podcast's 10th anniversary. So, in honor of that day, we bring you b-b-b-b-bonus content from In The Pines, where Pox talks about his 1998 thru-hike and the cast of fugitives and bandits he met along the way.

    During the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, GA, Eric Rudolph detonated a 100lbs pipe bomb in Centennial Park. One person was killed and 111 were injured. Three more bombs went off in the weeks and months following the Olympic bombing.

    What took place after that was an all-out manhunt along the Appalachian Trail and in the Nantahala Gorge. The FBI was looking for Rudolph as far away as the Appalachian Trail in Virginia.

    Pox Holiday was thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail in 1998, around the same time Eric Rudolph disappeared into the mountains for almost 7 years. Pox was even questioned by a member of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park because he looked like a fugitive.

    In this episode, you will hear untold stories about the search for a domestic terrorist and his accomplices that never made it into a newspaper article or a television report.

  • In The Pines - 09 - Benjamin Peter Ashley and the Pacific Crest Trail
    Aug 2 2022
    On August 16th, 2016, a man covered with desert dirt, who looked as if he’d been hiking for days, walked into a rural California convenience store and bought $100 worth of junk food and water. Located near the Pacific Crest Trail, the convenience store owner was no stranger to dirty hikers. However, this man happened to match the description of a suspected murderer wanted by the police. In less than an hour, the man would be shot dead as he was walking back to the Pacific Crest Trail.

    This is the crazy story of how Benjamin Peter Ashley terrorized the remote canyon communities of Central California and used the Pacific Crest Trail to elude authorities for weeks.
