When longtime listener Carmelita commissioned &#8220;Jacob&#8217;s Ladder,&#8221; the Shat Crew collectively squealed.<\/p>\n<p>This 1990 Tim Robbins banger did lots of things we&#8217;d later see in &#8217;90s movies and beyond: non-linear storytelling, the questioning of reality, faceless doctors, and that wiggly head thing from Tool music videos. But it didn&#8217;t stop there: &#8220;Jacob&#8217;s Ladder&#8221; flipped the horror genre on its head by actually addressing death, not just killing.<\/p>\n<p>In this episode, Big D crushes Gene&#8217;s romanticism about &#8217;70s New York City. Ash gives a crash course on the fragility of memory, and all three hosts marvel at just how cute Macaulay Culkin was at 9 years old. What did the ending mean? We&#8217;ll get into that, too.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Plot Summary: \u201cJacob&#8217;s Ladder&#8221;<\/strong> After returning home from the Vietnam War, veteran Jacob Singer (Tim Robbins) struggles to maintain his sanity.
