After Lunch | Disneyland

I debrief Rob about his recent trip to Disneyland in (extremely) sunny California. Rob talks about what he liked and what he didn't, I add some thoughts from my own trip there a few years ago, and we both compare it with Florida's Walt Disney World, which we're much more familiar with.

After Lunch | The Avengers of Horror

Happy Halloween! To celebrate, Rob and I welcome Bloody Popcorn's Joanna back to the show along with everyone's old buddy, old pal Jeeg to create the ultimate team-up of horror characters. We each nominate two members of the team as well as a bunch of honorable mentions to flesh out the cast and come up with a story worthy of them all. And possibly even tie in with the Avengers of Science Fiction, you never know.

Hellbent for Letterbox | The Valley of Gwangi (1969)

Pax and I stretch the definitions of both Western and Horror in this second Halloween pick, The Valley of Gwangi starring James Franciscus, Gila Golan, and Richard Carlson. And with visual effects by Ray Harryhausen.
But our Westernin' picks this month are full on horror-related as Pax reads Tim Seeley, Aaron Campbell, and Jim Terry's vampire comic West of Sundown, and I watch Sam Shepard's Western ghost story Silent Tongue and the super cheesy Teenage Monster.

Hellbent for Letterbox | The Pale Door (2020)

Pax and I celebrate the Spooky Season with Aaron B. Koontz'  witchy Western, The Pale Door.

After Lunch | Midnight Mass

Rob, Evan, and I confront vampires and theology in writer-director Mike Flanagan's 2021 mini-series, Midnight Mass. We talk about how the show handles vampire lore, its Stephen King influences, and the characters it creates, but mostly how it discusses big themes like faith, knowledge, addiction, sacrifice, and forgiveness.

With me as a guest, we set out to get from the mini-comic's wiki page to... Ed McMahon?
