Whadaya mean it's been a while? Didn't we just post on Halloween? We're jumping back in and keeping that energy going by trying to define just what makes that spooky spirit that we feel during our favorite time of the year. Look, if people can do Christmas in July, then we can do this. We break down various movies, shows, and cultural phenomenon, present our own 31 Days of Halloween list for your enjoyment, and talk a little bit about where we've been and where we're going.

In all seriousness, thank you to everyone who kept listening to us and sharing the show during our hiatus. You're all amazing and we're thrilled to be back.

Stuff Discussed In This Episode: Resident Evil, Halloween, Trick Or Treat, haunted houses, Nightmare Before Christmas, Over the Garden Wall, Gravity Falls, Evil Dead, Hellraiser, The Exorcist, Samhain, A Wish For Wings That Work, Late Night With The Devil, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween 3: Season of the Witch, Rob Zombie, Louie Zong, Michael Eisner, Jim Henson, Mike Flanagan, Rahul Kohli,

This year for SPOOKY SEASON, we decided to do something a little different. Instead of talking horror movies or covering a Razzie-winner, we decided to let a friend talk us into covering something particularly controversial -- 2016's Ghostbusters: Answer the Call! Our friend and life-long Ghostbusters superfan Matt (AKA Toaster) joins us to talk about what did and didn't work about this Paul Feig film (spoilers: more than you might remember, considering this didn't get a single Razzie nomination). Jack gets talked into changing his mind on something, Matt reminds us of some of the awful nonsense held within the Sony Pictures email leak, everyone reveals embarrassing childhood stories surrounding the original Ghostbusters, and Joe forgets who was in this movie for second. Join us for this episode, but maybe leave the lights on if there's something strange in your neighborhood...

CW: mention of racism dredged from the leaked Sony emails

For the first 2nd Unit episode of the season, we brought back friend, collaborator, and IATSE-member Scott McGrath to talk about the latest regarding the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Did we record this a long time ago and have to splice in a more relevant update? You bet! Plus Jack pitches us an idea for the Unofficial Willem Dafoe Bad Art Short Film Festival! Join us for a story pitch, a lesson about Carvel Cakes (yes, we know Joe says Marvel, don't @ us), fond memories of long-gone restaurants, and an overwhelming number of labor puns.

We wrap up our season premiere and coverage of Mike Myers' 2008 Worst-Picture winner, The Love Guru! Joe's mom joins us once again as Jack recounts the legal trouble that impacted Myers' career leading up to this movie, somehow hallucinates parts of Jean-Claude Van Damme's Sudden Death, and shows us how it's possible for a movie to be too stupid to be culturally insensitive. Join us for this ridiculous example of what happens when Jack tries to write while seriously ill!

CW: Discussion of cultural appropriation, sex jokes

WELCOME TO SEASON 3! We kick things off with a good ol' fashioned Razzie-winner for Worst Picture, 2008's The Love Guru. Joining us to inaugurate the season is our favorite Mike Myers fan, Joe's mom Linda! We talk about our favorite Mike Myers films, Joe gets forced to do some impressions, Jack learns about hockey and the very real Toronto Maple Leafs, and Jack tells Joe to pound sand. Join us for this ridiculous recording from Joe's birthday and get ready for all the nonsense season 3 has to offer.
