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.

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
