EDDIE Z'S PICK FOR "BEST OF SEASON ONE EPISODES":
1989's "Pet Sematary" spooked audiences and made Americans confront death, grief and necromancy. 30 years later, studios buried the film in the Micmac and brought us 2019's "Pet Sematary." So naturally, Nicole and Rolando ponder... Is sometimes, dead better?
