It’s Halloween!!!

Or is it Christmas? Hard to say when stores have holiday items already hitting the shelves, decorations going up and the workplace is already playing christmas jingles! Is this a sore spot and possible topic of discussion in this week's episode?

You bet your ass it is!

Because it is all vibes this week! With nought for news and feature discussion, one trailer - the latest from Challengers director Luca Guadanigno, Queer - and just a whole bunch of opinions and chit-chat.

Regarding what, you may ask? Well, it is indeed Halloween, and so we reflect on the most horrifying, nightmare-inducing horror movies that we’ve endured, from Aliens to Barbarian and a shocking Jeepers Creepers 2 revelation!

We also tackle the long debated question - when should one party for Halloween if it falls on a weekday? The answer might be more obvious than you think.

And, of course, we get into what we’ve been into… continuing on with The Penguin on Max, a review of the MCU’s latest spinoff series, Agatha All Along, PLUS getting into spooky season with old and new horror films, with the likes of The Wicker Man and the 2024 exclusive “nuns in Italy” double feature, Immaculate and The First Omen.

It’s a laugh of an episode, so be sure to follow, like, subscribe and check it out!

This week we have movie trailers and tv trailers galore!

Before we get lost in the trailer-verse, though, we first dive into the latest buzz in the news, including the inevitable shelving of the MCU Blade project, details on the new Christopher Nolan movie, and we fancast for the role of Patrick Bateman in the new adaptation of American Psycho!

Once we get into trailers, we hit on all sorts… from streaming with Season 2 of Severance (Apple TV +), Creature Commandos (DC) and Dune: Prophecy, to movies with the likes of Electric State (Netflix), The Monkey (Neon), The Legend of Ochi (A24), our highly anticipated first look at the Brutalist, and a load more!

But wait… there’s more! We get the scoop on what we’re into, continuing with the Penguin (HBO / DC), getting a second opinion on Strange Darling, the tale of Dunk and Egg (George RR Martin - Game of Thrones), a taste of The Substance and more.

It’s a fun return of the whole trio of nerds, so be sure to like, subscribe and follow us on social media for this and a lot more, check it out!

The juice is, indeed, loose on this Pod!

That’s right, this week we review our highly anticipated BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE! Does it mark a return of classic Tim Burton? Does Michael Keaton still got it in him? Is the film actually good…. Or does it fall in with the rest of the legacy sequels?

These are the questions we ask (and hopefully answer) this week, but before all that we find out what’s so good about that PS5 Pro (and that price tag - yikes) AND everything pro and max and plus about every new announcement out of the Apple event!

Then, not only do we have some new trailers in Wolf Man and The Apprentice, but we have a new sound board, too?! Nice… very nice!

Lastly we dig into what we’re into including Sony’s video gaming champion, Astro Bot, and the love hate relationship that is watching the latest horror/thriller indie darling… Strange Darling!
