This week's episode had some extra watches including Freddy's quick discussion of the Peacock series, Anatomy of Lies. It chronicles a Grey's Anatomy writer's web of lies and its repercussions. Remember when lying had consequences and was frowned upon? Now it's normalized and excused for some people. Go figure 🤷‍♂️
Anyway, it's a wild documentary series.

Rock n Shock, movies featuring musical artists, continues with Trick or Treat(1986) with Ozzy Osbourne and Gene Simmons. This movie is mostly treats with a few tricks here and there. There are many wacky and zany moments that give the movie charm and character. And speaking of the characters they are thinly drawn but the performances make up for it, especially Tony Fields as the evil rockstar Sammi Curr. He is so physical and charismatic. The movie draws on many references and has a good horror pedigree so there is a sense of familiarity and coziness to it. Ozzy Osbourne and Gene Simmons have small parts but they are pretty good. The music is pretty bitchin' too 🤘 Not perfect but perfectly fun.

In a world full of Gollums, be a Sam. 
We accept the election results but can't understand them. We are sad and angry and a whole lot of other emotions. It is a crappy time right now and will probably be for a while but we want you to know that our podcast will always be a safe and welcoming space. If your burden is too heavy we are here to carry you. You know, like Sam did with Frodo on Mount Doom. 
Lights have been dimmed but are not out. Be yourself to an obnoxious degree. Take up space. Live loud. Keep fighting. 
We are so grateful and fortunate to have found our tribe and we will get through this together. We love you. 
(Hope this whole post doesn't sound too corny or disingenuous but hey, these are silly times)

This week's episode has some quick reviews including Freddy finishing his rewatch of the Halloween movie franchise and Andy saw The Stepfather(1987) at the Skyline Drive-In with star Jill Schoelen in attendance. Pretty cool!

This month's theme is called Rock & Shock and we are covering movies featuring musical artists. We start with Vamp(1986) starring Grace Jones. This is uneven but the positives outweigh any flaws. The first two acts are great but loses some steam by the end. It is full of quirk and charm and has lots of memorable characters. Vampire st*****rs?! C'mon, right?! Grace Jones has so much screen presence and she makes an impression even in a wordless performance. The practical effects are really well done and we loved the moody lighting too. Flawed but fun.

Last night Andy went to Joe Bob's Scream Queen Extravaganza w/ Darcy, Brinke Stevens and Jill Schoelen at the Skyline Drive-in in Shelbyville, Indiana. They screened Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama and The Stepfather and had some great Q&As. Joe Bob and Darcy were so nice and met with fans all night in the chilly weather. Joe Bob and Darcy at an actual drive-in?! I mean, c'mon! 😃 Such a cool event!

"A naked American man stole my balloons". A non video version of Andy's An American Werewolf in London costume. Again, sorry for the visuals!

"A naked American man stole my balloons". Andy's costume is inspired by the post transformation zoo scene from An American Werewolf in London. Sorry for the semi naked Andy. It is definitely not a treat. Anyways, Happy Halloween!

On this week's episode Freddy and Amy discussed a rewatch of the original Halloween franchise. Andy went to the drive-in again and it featured a wild zombie movie from the 70s, I Drink Your Blood. Movies, man 📽️🎃🧟‍♂️

Our annual Halloween TV Specials month wraps up with listener James's picks, Supernatural "It's the Great Pumpkin, Sam Wi******er" and Pretty Little Liars "This is a Dark Ride".
Supernatural's episode can stand on its own away from the lore of the series. It is basically a monster of the week episode with some backstory sprinkled in. This episode is super Halloween-y with Samhain, witches, apple bobbing and killer candy. There are also some cute character moments as well. A fun show!
"This is a Dark Ride" is not as accessible. There are a lot of dense storylines and a lot of characters. If you don't know what happened in previous seasons you'd be lost. But the intrigue and mystery is engaging and it is some soap-y Spooky Season fun.
