In this episode, Jeff and James tackle Carpenter's first entry in Showtime's Masters Of Horror series, Cigarette Burns.Is this a return to form for Carpenter, or was he just phoning it in? Does working with a much smaller budget on a Cable TV schedule hurt the quality of the film? Does Norman Reedus make out with Udo Keir? Find the answers to these questions here - along with talk of the film's production history, themes and plot point, reception, its place in Carpenter's career, and whether or not it's worth your time.
